The Irony of the Ironic: Hipsters Don’t Understand Irony

“Not too long ago, I was at show and the opening act was an incredibly horrible hipster band. Western button down shirts, big Harry Caray glasses, porn star mustaches, the whole shebang. I would try to look up exactly what band it was, but I’m afraid …”

Not too long ago, I wrote another post with this title, the use of which could today be a greater hoax than this president and more of a charade and farce than the Democratic National Convention: Yesterday was terrible, 007.

College Now
“If you are a high school sophomore, junior or senior, you can enroll in selected JCCC College Now courses offered at and in cooperation with your high school. The JCCC College Now program is accredited by the National Alliance for Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships.”

The deadline for payment for College Now is this evening, Friday, September 14. With fewer staff yesterday, my co-workers were hammered with calls from parents. I ignored my protocols, lost a political debate on Facebook, and felt quite horrible about myself.

1. Politics is not considered polite conversation.


2. I do not know enough about the issues to discuss them calmly or avoid ad hominem.


3. I am on the opposite side of the debate on most issues.


4. I do not like being wrong or being made a fool.


5. I would rather keep friends and be respectful.

After work, I was rather busy myself. In Whirlwind weekend 008, my blood sugar and my liver proteins saw improvement, and my tests were now to be every six months instead of every three months. Yesterday, the numbers for my blood sugar, cholesterol and liver proteins were all high, so I must return in two months and receive some education from Riverview Community Services in Kansas City, Kansas ...

Last night in defiance, I ordered from Papa John’s Pizza, where I saved half because the Kansas City Royals won one on Wednesday.
