Cynicism

You see how it goes? You show people that cynicism is not what you're all about and the next thing you know you get accused of being a philanderer. Says an anonymous commenter on this post:

"Ruel is comparing Raptus to Borges...wow..how far would you go for a little pussy. You want to fuck the girl so flattery is the first step. Ruel Johnson is too arrogant to praise anyone without sinister motives. This post is nothing but a low down cheap shot to extract a little bit of smelly cyat. Good luck...look our Raptus...ruel is going to make the moves on your little punanni."

Come on man, how sleazy do you think I am? Before I even knew who raptus was, I said that the young lady could write. I think my friend, Bakannal is brilliant as well, but that doesn't mean I want fuck him. I've also praised the Guyana Media Critic, but that doesn't mean I want to fuck him.

Why are you people so cynical? Yes, I might be arrogant but I believe that I am also fair. And I seriously can't flatter a woman about her writing just for a little punani...well maybe if it was Kerry Washington, but nobody else. Like I've said before, I may be a bastard, but I am not a fucking bastard.

When it comes to sex, I believe that as consenting adults, there doesn't have to be any such deception involved. And, here is a confession, I have absolutely zero game. Zilch. None. Nada. I either get straight to the point or I start tumbling over my words like I do in public speaking. Maybe with enough rum and coke I achieve a certain flow with speaking to women as I do inmy writing but to walk around perpetually semi-inebriated just so you can get some would be pathetic.

And who knows? Maybe I'm content with whatever, if any, I am getting. So, dear Anon, please get your mind out of the gutter. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...

Hi Ruel,
Just reading your last point and struck by your absolutely keen observation and honesty about yourself:
"I either get straight to the point or I start tumbling over my words like I do in public speaking."
Having observed it myself.

And find your writing/blogging very intriguing. I am finding more time to read these days and it would be great to read your work. Maybe I'll catch you at Oasis and you'll spare a moment to chat about your latest work
