Greenberg

Roger Greenberg: Because not everybody is Roger Federer.

"Oh, I'm kinda doing nothing for awhile."

And (I think) it's funny; if you told people that you drink tea and play bridge because you like Jane Austen, they'd fucking tell you to go to hell, but if you tell them that you don't drive because you used to live in New York, they snicker and don't say anything.

"Life is wasted on people."

"There's so much crap out there."

'Why are you yelling at me?'

Because you're making me feel abrasive. Please stop.

But at least I'm not like Colin Firth-- 'Oh yeah, I read all of the novels.' Yeah, after the BBC ordered you to.

But I don't really like Florence either. I feel that she's a little fake.

And, yeah, I know-- letters....

But, I don't know. They're all assholes.

And I don't know, I don't like Florence. She's as innocent as a blank piece of paper, or seems so, I guess. And she thinks that she's practical just because she's boring, and, whatever, etcetera, etcetera. Indecisive, lets everybody just sorta talk at her-- except Roger, including Roger, (flip a coin), whatever, I don't know.

'I just don't know what I'm doing with my life.'

Yeah, well, it's not like I know anything about that.

And I guess that Federer really is the chill one, and not Greenberg, sure.

Eh, oh well, I'm not even doing this very well or anything....

Anyway: these have been my unbiased opinions.

'I heard that you killed our dog.'

"(The time by air to Australia:) That's like seven movies."

"I might have to kill one of you out of sheer frustration."

'What are you fighting against?'

"I don't know; what have you got?"

'I don't know; not much.'

"Then that's what I'm fighting-- 'not much'."

.... So, I don't know. (Just don't give a speech about irony-- yeah, just don't.)

'....to finally embrace the life that you didn't plan....'

"....And that's why I didn't want to be in a band with you-- you never look at your own shit!...."

'And we never talk about anything good.'

Yeah, but maybe you don't have to embrace everything if you think it's bullshit. And anyway, I hate abrasive the most when it goes with abstract and sarcastic, like some college professor. But who can blame you if you get a little irritable about the real world, and especially when everybody else does.... Or at least has a friend to be cynical on their behalf, or something.

So.... I don't know.

But at least his brother is in Vietnam *on vacation*.

"It's kinda trite, but it stayed with me."

This wasn't even going to be long, but, whatever....

"Roger Greenberg, from Hollywood, California."
