sure - make yet another joke about a serious issue, an issue i am invested in and vocal about since the early days
in houston atmo. these awards are gay. and they send the wrong message. we can talk about the chads, and the
cronyism, and the, er - president's choice. but at the end of the day, all you, dave kirk, want is the truth huh. well
i have your inner framebuilder truth right here atmo: you can't handle the truth! son, we live in a world that has walls.
and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. who's gonna do it? you? you, carl "i am so" strong? i have a
greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. you weep for sacha and you curse the itty bitty tricycle. you have
that luxury. you have the luxury of not knowing what i know: that greg townsend's best of show paint award, while tragic,
probably saved lives. and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...you don't want the truth.
because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. you need me on that wall. we use
words like alignment, stem angle, and atmo...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent creating something. you
use 'em as a punchline. i have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under
the blanket of the very entertainment i provide, then questions the manner in which i provide it! i'd rather you just said,
"Just sayin'" and went on your way. otherwise, i suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. either way, i don't give
a damn what you think you're entitled to!
