Can this be true? Are people on their best behavior around Ed or are his expectations very low? Every person I have ever met has let me down...hhhmmm...I expect what I give and in that...I am let down ...I give too much... so maybe really I let myself down...so maybe Ed is right...
"Who would want to live facing the east?"
Now this is twofold...Ok some of us don't want to face the east...by fate or circumstance, some of us are a little stuck...but will eventually be remedied. And if it's so bad...why does Pearl Jam visit so often??? Ok that was just a joke. In a different vein, dearest Ed, if you live facing the west...the one who beholds your face daily MUST live facing the east. That doesn't sound horrible...
I know this is a silly crappy thread...just some of the thoughts I think... :roll: :?
no...if you look closely you can see ed's mouth wasn't moving when he said that which means he was talking out of his ass. of course people has let him down, we all know one person who did let him down. don't take every word he says as literal as that. hell dave a let him down even.

If you go into situation thinking someone is an asshole... and they turn out to be an asshole...
have they let you down or met your expectations?
In other words, if you don't expect everyone to be the same... hold everyone to a set of standards that you decide on, they cannot let you down.

I have to agree with the facing east thing. I live in AZ and Cresent City, CA and just got back from a visit to the coast in NC, and could not deal with the no sunset thing. It is SOOOOOOOO gorgeous in the evenings out west. You simply CAN NOT compare the skies, at all, stars and all.

you CAN see the sun set in the east...you just have things in the way...and if you go down to the cape...Cape May, NJ you can have an unimpeded sunset as the ferries leave the port...but still...my plan has always been to leave this dreaded mosquito infested hole...but I must be patient...only another year or so to go...unless a miracle occurs...I will not hold my breath...
I certainly don't expect everyone to be the same...but it might be nice to go out and assume everyone is an asshole for a day...I think I will try this tomorrow!!!!
...
It's sort of a pessimistic optimism. If you go into it thinking they are assholes... and they are assholes, you have no regrets. If they are nice people, it's a plus because you are expecting them to be assholes... and they're not.
...
The only downside I can think of... depression on your part because you walk around, thinking everyone is an asshole.
Yet... overcome that... hey, no problem, right?

And I took that statement as this:
As a surfer I’d want to be on the West just for the fact that you could probably get a longer day at the beach on the West. (not even taking into account the surfing’s better on the West) That and you can enjoy sunsets on the West. You gotta get up early to see the new sun sparkle on the water here.
So ed’s kinda right. And I resent it. lol!

man, if someone thought that much about anything i said...ever....I'd freak out! Hope, for his sake, he doesn't see this thread!
Ed is a man who thrives on being the center of attention...I hardly think he would freak out...it's not as if I am stalking him...just thinking about what he said...If he has an issue this thread will quietly disappear... and remember...you are not Ed. Sorry...it's just a funny...but to be serious...I do pay close attention to what ALL people say and then compare it to what they do...it gives good insight on people in general...try it...you'd be amazed.

I have no idea what Ed's meaning with this statement about people not ever letting him down but I want to comment upon your thought that "everyone lets you down."
My thought is this: If you don't expect people to live up to your expectations, they CAN'T let you down. You are feeling "let down" because of your own EXPECTATIONS.

Yeah but your sunrises suck!
