Troy Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 To one of the finest intellectuals I know. Happy Birthday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynique Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Thank you, Troy! How thoughtful of you! Iconoclast? Maybe. Intellectual? Not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDBurns Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Definitely an intellectual and someone I attempt to emulate in my ranting... but I always fall short. Happy Birthday (and I never say HBD to anyone). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynique Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Thank you for the greeting, Chris. Compliments coming from 2 bright brothers like you and Troy are really an honor. I never think of myself as an intellect mostly because I am not an academic. I just apply the common sense that comes with age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 You don't have to be an academic to be an intellectual, and common sense does not automatically come with age. You are creative, curious, observant, self-aware and a critical thinker with a fine sense of humor. That combined with a talent for self expression makes you a terrific intellect.Some of your throw-away comments are as profound as anything I've read by the celebrity intellectuals we may be more familiar with.You are a gift to us all, and I feel fortunate be able to regularly read what you have to say.Thanks for continuing to share your thoughts here. I know you could be doing anything else. Much love to you, and here is to many more happy birthdays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynique Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Thank you, Troy, for providing a forum for sharing the thoughts that I really don't have a desire to express anyplace else, which is why I don't have a blog. Unfortunately it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to form opinions about what's happening in this dizzy world, and that's due, in part, to my dwindling concern about all the "dire issues" just waiting to become old news. Shit happens. That's life. You and Chris also deserve your props for what you bring to this site which includes your technical and professional expertise, not to mention your street smarts. And above all, your visionary gifts.Now I guess we can adjourn this meeting of the mutual admiration society.

Del Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Happy Birthday, Cynique. You have a fine mind and a sharp wit. I enjoy folks that are deviants. That is the highest compliment I give.del 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
