  1. my fiancee wants to be a distinguished old gentleman with a handlebar mustache.

  2. That’s such a long word to type. If you don’t have typing training, it could very well take you your whole minute to type “distinguished” and spell check it. Talk about exclusion.

Most of them are horrified at what they do before you.

  22. HIs heart puffed with pride as he jogged up the stage. I glared at the grinning man as he took his place at the podium. Huffing a sigh, i slid farther down into my seat. The fabric was scratchy but no one else at the conference seemed to care. They were ALL so happy to see him.

    “Or you’ll do what?”

  26. Walking through the financial district with hip-bags and briefcases, theses young men strive for success. I can see through their white shirts and the thinly pressed undershirts.

    I cringed. that’s what made me hate him so much.

  29. Our distinguished guest is…not going to be here tonight. Unfortunately there has been a recent outbreak of extreme weather and the guest of honor is missing in action.

  30. You strive to be better than the rest, to make a name for yourself.

    One of

    Messy “ness”

    Unrefinement

    An oh so commonly ordinary existence

    Simply you.

    Is that okay?

  35. i’d always thought he was a distinguished figure in society. with his fancy suits. expensive cars. pretty wive. until we saw him fall out of the bar that night. hair drenched in sweat. two prostitutes slinking down to the alley way with him. and my thoughts of “distinguished” changed. forever.

  37. i am a distinguished person. but not really. not yet anyway. what have i done to achieve any sort of status in my life? nothing but party, drink and sleep it all away. sometimes i think i’ll get somewhere in life. i’m still getting my shit together, but i feel like i’m on the path. on the path to being somewhere. on the path to being “distinguished” as someone would say. using that word makes me feel like a pompous douche.
