I'm not sure what all the swearing adds to this article. Chill out, man.

  It was my initial reaction to this post by Jordan Cooper: http://jordancooper.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/full-of-potential-full-of-shit/ http://jordancooper.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/full-of-potenti... "So today I am 28 years old. When I was 24 I used to look at other Associates at venture capital firms who were 27 and 28 years old and think to myself “well, I’m four years ahead of these guys.” When I was 26 and founding my first company I used to look at 30 year old founders and think “well, I’m 4 years ahead of these guys.” Now that I’m 28, I look around at my peers and I’m pretty much right smack in the middle, not really “ahead” of anyone. And what’s worse is, 2 years from now, I’m going to look around and start to say “well, I’m 2 years behind these guys.” It’s already happening. I spend time with a guy like Chris Hughes (26 I think) and leave thinking “well, I’m 2 years WAY behind that guy.”... Hence the cursing.

    "Hence the cursing." While it may make sense in light of your internal narrative, to an outsider like me it's immensely distracting. So much so that I ended up not caring about whatever point you were trying to make. Instead, I was trying to figure out why people try to write like angry disaffected hipsters.
