I just wanna know how long the original letter was... 
Quantity is not quality, OP.

Moonshoe, I'd write posts like yours if I was enfranchised. Possibly even more absurdly prolix and masturbatory than your own. Lord knows I have the capability, the vocabulary and the syntactic grace to match or even exceed your own "best" work. Instead, I keep a lid on it and resort to brevity and self-effacement because I do not have a home in my own name, a declared income, or health insurance.
Do you think that the comfort with which you live imbues with objective merit these towering monuments to narcissism that you like to share with us? If so, I would respectfully disagree. It means nothing to me (or most here, or your brother, most likely) that a person who likes ayahuasca just so happens to be entitled and in love with himself and with the sounds of his fingers hitting his keyboard. If anything it alienates me from the many viewpoints you express that I personally have shared. If these experiences are so meaningful to you, why do you spend your time in such extravagant obeisance to your ego? It looks self-contradictory to me, and quite frankly, it impugns in my mind the worth of the substances that have motivated my life's work.
Are you acquainted with the axiom, "the exception proves the rule?" Just curious. It's not a good rule that I'm talking about and I don't think you like it either.

I must confess no small degree of jealousy on my part. I originally wanted to pursue a career in writing, but I failed English 1A (college-level composition) three times before I gave up on that particular pipe dream. I'm currently taking it for the sixth time, since it's a prerequisite for any four-year degree. (I'm a neurosci/biotech major now.) English 1A professors don't, generally, seem to like my style. Too fluid, too bad at following directions; though I have been doing exceptionally well this time around, and God willing, it'll be over soon.
That was an inspiring response. Thank you.
