131113 i read this article on "Jezebel" called "I don't know what to do with good white people" and it reminded me of what I like about my redneck shit kicking ignoramus friend Gabe. it boils down to at least he's honest. you know what you're dealing with. But wait, there’s also more to it than that. It’s also because his willingness to be himself (even though so much of himself is revolting) indicates the presence of life force. So many of us are so complacent, such fucking cows, it’s hard to muster faith that we would have energy to stand up to anyone. At least Gabe still has some fucking balls. Even though he’s an asshole. And like all beautiful and ugly things, it—he—makes me ask myself a question.
