::A bit of meaningless noise about nothing

Yesterday, I met the one who knows. I was using the computer at 3am and I turned around and there he was.

"Who are you?" I ventured.

"I'm the one who knows."

"If you know so much, tell me why I'm still such a godamned failure with no life who hasn't achieved anything."

"That's cause you're too bloody stupid." The OWK did not even stop to think.

Well, one does not usually accept an answer such as 'You're too bloody stupid' but since he was the OWK (and because it was true and I wasn't looking for an answer that would please me or anybody), I didn't bash him or something.

But what did I want him to say, anyway? 'You're actually very smart, but you're underappreciated'?

That's what I wanted him to say because he was the OWK and that would justify the existence of me and my brain.

But he didn't. And then he disappeared, leaving me with my sad non-achiever life and my lack of a brain.

(If you've bothered to read this far, you'd have realised that this did not really happen).
