I'm sure this "shingy" fellow is nice and all, but reading about him invokes a visceral hatred in me. It probably reflects more on me than him, but I can't stand people who are different for the sole sake of being different (read: hipsters).<p>"I’m more of a caffeine-free, gluten-free, raw-food sort of guy...". Fuck me sideways, I want to slap him across the face.<p>Also, ffs, if you need to say "as a metaphor", you have yourself a genuine shitty metaphor.
