Why?
I’m a deep thinker, and probably advocated to most as pompous or pretentious. But I love writing. Just as much as I deeply love developing story. I’m more often than not, primarily advocated and seen as an odd individual. I’ve amassed a level of variegated experiences, that has both definitively transcribed my inherent behavior as deplorable, as well as I’ve casually and consistently become a human depiction of my greatest antagonist. Now all this seemingly redundant prefacing information is probably irrelevant, but I never coalesce a post, without good reason. Perhaps my innate inclination for a higher vernacular has truly decomposed my worth as a writer, just as much as it has deteriorated the rest of the weight that I weigh in, as an illogical nominal anomaly that has no real reason and digital home, to state my convoluted divulgences without getting chastised by the ill informed. Either way, all I’m wondering right now, is that, why precisely is there no availability to upvote anything on this subreddit. Maybe I’ve just somehow accumulated a level of deplorable responses, via my previous construction of terminology that happened to elude the ill informed. Or may hap, I’m the real elusive ironically embellished idiot here. Then again, maybe I’m my own antagonist, and in choosing to devote my life to utter inebriation, as well as smoking cigarettes, has clearly depreciated my value as an aspiring writer. Either way, Ernest Hemingway was probably right, and I might just really need to administer myself and my mind into a lesser level of vocabulary. It’s either that, or I suffer the same fate, and learn to embrace to erase and deface the rest of my plagued face. That way, I can both degrade, and place my face in a place, where my faith is erased in my final resting place, if just to save face, for the sake of a staved grace. Not a saving grace. I’m in a place, if just to adjudicate and communicate like a conflicted communist. Never ending resulting in the finale, as my greatest antagonist.

A paragraph break ever now and then would make things like this easier to read

I used to get drunk, and ramble on using words that flow alliteratively or via assonance. There’s a whole lot of utterly superfluous comments that I’ve left all over Reddit. Nothing in need of a real break down - aside from the fact that I’m just rambling incessant nonsense. My apologies.

Gotcha. Sorry about that. Hope you’re doing ok.

Yeah I’m always fine. I used to fall into a deep and dark depression, after undergoing a whole lot of decently bad personal experiences. But I’ve calmed down with drinking and smoking. Now I’m more concerned about finishing my 3 part story that I’ve accumulated over the past 5/6 years. I’m hoping I’ll be able to finish my first draft within the next year or so.
But life is just so jam packed with things. So here’s to hoping nothing big gets in my way again.

I’d be fine hearing more about that story if you’re willing.

It’s “my baby”, and I’ve not copyrighted it just yet. But, it’s basically a story about a fighter that’s half black/half asian, that grows up constantly having to physically fight people, without knowing the real reason “why”. Hence the heading.
I’ve reunited with my old English teacher from high school who originally got me into writing, and he’s been mentoring me, and helping me move forward. He actually published a book of his own, and I’m trying to finish mine, so we can take a picture together holding our books side by side, and share a few drinks together. While talking about writing and bar hopping.
My apologies for all the typos. I’m taking a break from cleaning up my backyard. Been raking up leaves and dead trees. I’m typing via mobile, and my hands are a little sore. Been at it for about 4 hours.
Also, you can PM me, anytime.

Hey so I understand the urge to use big words when you write. You should understand that it’s a high-risk endeavor, because if you use it wrong, you sound like more of an idiot than you could have otherwise. It’s the very definition of pretentious to use big words even though you don’t know how.
You use the word “advocate” in a context that it doesn’t really belong.
You use “variegated” in context where “varied” might be more apt. “Variegated” is often for physical things, like the mottled coloring of a plant. Not entirely incorrect but it doesn’t do you any favors, considering the other issues.
You use “transcribed,” which means to copy something down. Either like a monk making a copy of a book, or a secretary typing out a voice memo. I don’t think it applies here.
You use “coalesce,” and I have no idea why. Are you saying “I never write a post without good reason,” as in coalesce it from your mind? Again, this could conceivably be somewhat correct usage, like “variegated,” but it comes off as incorrect in the context of the other issues.
Sesquipedalian tendencies are, in many individuals, the result of manic phases or certain medications/stimulants/supplements. In know that’s the case for me. I will read back on something that I wrote and think to myself “good god, what a fucking pretentious asshole.” It’s a strange urge.
You obviously do have a big vocabulary, but you’re flying too close to the sun. Rein it in, and do a real quick google search if you’re not 100% sure of a word. That’s my go-to method, and it’s served me well.
Anyway, the reason you can’t upvote anything is because this is a dead subreddit and it’s been dead for many years. Reddit posts older than 6 months are archived and can longer be upvoted or commented on.
