Twits are ugly people who do horrible things to each other and others. They are not nice, and they are negative people who have been negative so long that the negativity has made them ugly.

On Monday I was going to write a review that just said that I'm a twit. Which isn't really true, I'm generally a only a slightly negative person, bordering on neutral and I don't do things intentionally to try to cause other people harm. Sometimes I do turn incredibly negative though and then I come out swinging at anyone close to me. I get angry, feel incredibly destructive, make life hell for anyone nearby and then it passes and I just get really depressed for awhile. I hope, even when I'm in my shit mood, that I don't do anything to hurt anyone else in anyway, so I guess I'm not quite a Twit.

Instead, I guess I unintentionally wait to wade through the bullshit of my depression, and do something then to fuck everything up, or at least start a chain reaction. Yay me, huh?

Don't vote for this. I meant to say, Vote for This. Who cares if it's not a review. I generally don't write reviews, I write opinion pieces and rants peppered with confessionals from my life. Sometimes I write very critical things, and I guess they might be considered a review, but really they are just throwing venom and spite at a target that won't swing back. Very few of the many words I've used on this site are anything that would really give someone a sense if they want to read a book or not.

That said, the book is amusing. You might like it.

Greg there was a plain old nancy drew there the other day, but I just left it. I'll keep an eye out next sunday, the day people just dump shit in front of the building.

Greg But I'm not the internet, I'm a stinky boy.

hahahaha, you can see the cover on my reviewed bookies if you need a look see. plain nancy drew doesn't have sexy action like the super mystery does.

Sunday itinerary:

1. Attend church service
2. feel guilt
3. dump shit in front of salvation army
4. what next?


message 15: by Greg (new) - rated it 4 stars

Greg The Salvation Army is right under a Pentecostal Church, so you can just dump it before you goto all day service, and right across from the Episcopal Church, so both are handy for your Church and Dumping Sunday, and you'll still have time to goto the Bum Bum Bar just a couple of blocks over.

Jen I think I need a picture of the bum bum bar on my wall at home. The bar looks like the face of a crying snowman.

it really does!!!



message 19: by Greg (new) - rated it 4 stars

Greg you're right jen, it does look like a crying snowman.

according to the description from a website it is a 'lesbian, latino, gay, butch" bar. sounds like the perfect place to throw back a few cold ones after dumping your stuff in front of the salvation army and talking in tongues for a few hours.


message 20: by Jen (new) - rated it 4 stars

Jen it has a website?!?

I bet it twitters too. Tweet tweet! BumBum here.


message 21: by Greg (new) - rated it 4 stars

Greg I didn't find a website, that was from a directory of gay bars in new york city. it was the first thing that came up in a google search with a picture.

This review is awesome! this is why you my favorite reviewer in the whole mother fucking goodreads community… one thing is bothering me tho… why would you say not to vote for this review cuz is not technically a review??? The fuck! this is my account and I can vote for whatever the fuck I feel like voting… this is a fucking website who cares anyway??? I mean you’ll have to be a fucktard of epic proportions to actually care who votes for who in the internet…


message 24: by Jasmine (new)
