This is a pretty cool quote, but now I'm trying to remember just which of Hemmingway's books is considered funny.Jonah Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718378638626020770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256481383244669826.post-12851319571615076332011-05-05T14:33:39.029-04:002011-05-05T14:33:39.029-04:00Actually, I don't think it's sad.

Drinking in the morning works for me on the days when I'm not working. <br /><br />BTW I don't think it's your generation's fault the U.S. is the way it is, I think it's a pretty big cop-out for anyone to say that, but, unfortunately, it happens all too often.Shanehttp://www.wagthedad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256481383244669826.post-84834995333041457022011-05-05T12:35:32.165-04:002011-05-05T12:35:32.165-04:00Try reading some of the studies of masculinity.

I want it to be funny. I think that it's funny when I first write it down, but, after it's posted and I come back to visit, it's just sad. To fix this I've decided to start drinking in the morning. We'll see how it goes.Jonah Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718378638626020770noreply@blogger.com
