RE: This Post Probably Sucks

Thanks! I'll have to watch that TED Talk later. I'll let you know. Looks really interesting. I'm curious to see how it relates to the dabbler/generalist dichotomy. For me, that really hit home.

RE: Stop Lying: You Love The Kardashians

Haha ... thanks! I'm the same way. I've seen the Kardashian TV show a few times with friends, years back, and I think the archetype is interesting. I don't know if they're good or bad people. I don't care.

RE: Stop Lying: You Love The Kardashians

RE: Platypussies Aren't Stupid; You Are

I love this! For a while I've had a book idea along the lines of Things People From My Type of Upbringing Need to Unlearn (but far better-sounding, of course). There are so many mistakes in those belief

RE: Platypussies Aren't Stupid; You Are

Love it! My parents are wonderful people, but not radical thinkers. I thank them for many things, but I needed to learn this through books and a lot of the world slapping me in the face.

RE: Platypussies Aren't Stupid; You Are

Thank you! Is there anything specific you think I should expand upon? I'd love to, but I'm just starting the journey and figuring out what to write as a lot of patterns of thoughts are molding ... Really

RE: The Words Are Trapped

Thanks! Please do. I wish I could help with the health thing, but all I can do is wish you the best and hope that the writing can help, at least mentally. And you can beat the perfectionism. Feel good!

RE: The Words Are Trapped

Thanks, Brooke :) So far so good, but that's easy to say after four days, ha. I think it's hard for everyone, save a few freaks. For me, the big difference has come when I'm forced to write. When I was

RE: Egypt: Pyramids, Near-Arrests And Gods With Butts

Thanks! Love that story. I feel like half the time I'm traveling, I'm just like those animals, with a tiny bit better control of my bowels. I'm merely shitting myself figuratively.
