mainsqueeze's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - I am feeling extremely irritated at the world today, partly due to a phone call I recieved last night. As I was finally nodding off at three-thirty a.m, the phone jarred me out of half-sleep. It was Matt, who had two things to tell me: 1) He is going to help Zach meet women. He figures that with his charm, it'll be a piece of cake. His pick-up line? "Hey, bitch, come here." I was not as amused as he expected I would have been. 2) He can "spot a Jew from a mile away." According to Matt, you can tell that somebody is Jewish simply by "the way they act." Again, I was not at all amused. I was raised Jewish, and although I don't attend shul or follow the religion much anymore, I do find it incredibly offensive when somebody attacks Judaism that way that Matt was. His father is a closet-Jew; He lights candles in secrecy, with the bedroom door locked, as though he was jerking off to kiddie porn. Because his father maintains some semblance of religiousness, Matt feels that it is his right to make fun of Jewish people. I found myself wanting to hang up on him more than I have ever wanted anything in my life. What did I find appealing about this man? Why was I his faithful friend for so long? It is truly time for a change in the company I keep. 5:27 p.m. - 2002-06-06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
