James Bond

I just told someone to leave my life. My exact words were: "I no longer enjoy your company." Few words, elegant, pretentious, the Whole Shabang. This act of mine did not, however, come from nowhere. Over the past year or so this person has been detrimental to my happiness. Anytime we spent time together things were brought up in a "playful" manner that I didn't find very entertaining. It was hurtful; unintentionally hurtful, but hurtful nonetheless. This person wanted no more than friendship and I was unable to give it because I felt like there was too much bullshit to crawl through. I wish I had also stated, "I am not trying to ruin your life. I'm just trying to remove myself from it."
My actions were following a desire to cleanse myself of the things in my life that bring me down. It's a very selfish thing. I acted in an extremely selfish way. The words I said were terrible. But I don't regret it for a second.
This is where my asshole-ness comes into play. I honestly feel there is a certain beauty in letting someone down bluntly. I made a New Year's Resolution for 2008 which is to be as much like James Bond as I can without being British, a secret agent, or killing people. James Bond's character is brilliant with words when interacting with others, especially women. He's blunt, calm, elegant, smooth, mysterious with his words, and takes rejection gracefully (if he ever gets rejected). James Bond knows women.
Thanks to James Bond I learned that with girls, you can't sugar-coat your message. If you do so, it gives them the slightest reason to disbelieve the majority of what you are trying to say. So, in conclusion, my release of vocal blunt-force trauma is merely just part of me trying to be more like James Bond.
