Listen! I know there are some hopeless people in these hangouts (campehs), folks who’re infected with folly, but expect other people to take antibiotics on their behalf; third class junkies that decent people tend to avoid, but to them, that evasion is like you’re scared of them. But that’s not the point I want to make on here. I think I was disrespected, and I happen to be a concerned ‘campeh-dweller’ who finds it really unfair when folks make a generalised claim that all campeh-addicted people are no different, that we have so much time on our hands that we tend to allocate ourselves the luxury of foolishness, careless talks and crude jokes. I believe someone’s got to put it in plain words and for the attention of those pseudo-intellectuals that pass such judgements, that not everyone that ‘campehs’ is irresponsible in conduct, that some of us are even more responsible than some of you that perhaps think irresponsibleness belongs to us. In fact, do you know what we also think? We think it is beside the point and totally misplaced to pretend to have all the ideas needed to salvage us, when all you do in the process of defining those ideas into strategies is to quarrel about/over words, resulting in endless preliminary versions of confused strategies in computer hard drives. Like the other day I listened in to what they call an “intellectual discussion,” and guess what? These strangely educated people talked at inordinate length, assessing the appropriateness of three words: ‘key’, ‘core’ and ‘generic’, intended to be prefixed to a certain skill. Can you imagine; it took them donkey’s hours debating whether to call that skill a ‘key-skill’, ‘core-skill’ or ‘generic-skill’. In the end they couldnt even reach a consensus, but artfully said theyve agreed to disagree. Screw that! If it were my crew, rather than that kind of verbal onslaught or intellectual-masturbation, we’ll agree in five minutes, or just say ‘whatever’ and move on. So I guess we’re not as lavish of invaluable time as claimed. FOR THE RECORD, I have nothing against intellectuals; I have seen legit ones, and I admire those whove been through it all, earned their scholarly successes and have an undeniable street-cred. They are not into that pointless exhibition of scholarly airs. If you call yourself an intellectual and you cannot offer, create or show anything for it, other than that thing hanging on your wall, and perhaps caught up in that aggressive and competitive struggle for bigger jobs and positions rather than creating them, then I believe you’re not worth your salt. Some of them, instead of being solidly indicative of what they learned at their ivory towers, they’ll be talking garbage about people whose preferences do not go well with that stereotypical clean-cut image. Yeah, if you’re not short haired, combed or cleanly shaved, you don’t talk with class, or you’re not the “jacket and tie” obsessed type, then forget about being worthy of an esteemed lifestyle; and even worse if you resemble a pothead. Sometimes I wish some of them are willing to get off their high horses, pay a quick visit or two to one of these ‘campehs’, they’ll be amazed by the wealth of common sense they can derive benefit from, and perhaps overstand how effectual the supposed hard life is. Now if you will excuse me, it is ‘Campeh’ time, I have ‘Leuwal’ to catch. #NoDisrespectIntended
