I just got back from the math talk today. It was entitled "quit work, play poker, sleep 'til noon" and rocked my lame ass. It was about how to have a winning strategy at poker that works even when your opponent knows it... they're powerless against it! Ha ha! It made me want to get better at poker.

This morning at about 2 I had a crisis, a small crisis. You know how you sometimes ask yourself if you've made the right decisions in your life, and maybe you'd be somewhere or someone better had you chosen differently? Sure, we all do, and I've done it before many times to come to the conclusion that there's nothing I can do about it. But this morning it wasn't about where I was but what I liked. Would my aesthetics be different had I chosen differently? Could I have changed them, or were they determined from birth? Did I trick myself into liking certain things by telling myself I liked them for so long that I actually grew to do so? What is it in someone that makes them like things so far from the norm?

I don't know, I don't know. I don't think I'll ever know.

Poker!!!! smile

Sorry, I love poker, and don't often meet others who are into it. I play about once a week out here in Cali, some great games.

Personally, I find that the numerous forms of mass market media and entertainment all use the "jump on the band wagon" tactic. The end result is this over-saturation of the norm. Some find comfort in this, it is a constant reinforcement that they are "ok" ... that they are "normal". Others find that this robs life of spontaneity and find themselve driven away from this "norm" ... seeking refuge in that which is not status quo. Of course there exists an entire spectrum of possibility between these two extrema. There are, likely, several extrema I have completely excluded for simplicity, but I think that you might see my concept. I would be interested in your opinion.

I was just looking at your latest set and pondering your piercings a bit. I rather enjoy the stark difference from one ear to the other and the industrial is just so perfect.

I asked myself that question all my life. Always stirring away from anything "wrong" because deep down I knew that I was longing for it. But then I just gave up and said what the hell! And went for what I knew I was looking for all along!

I think intrinsically we all want to feel better about ourselves. Some people approach this by capitolizing on the parts of themselves that they're happiest with. Others criticize the lesser parts of and search for means of change.

Perhaps in your case you are a little bit of both. You live your life and you pursue a happiness through means that might seem abstract to a social majority, but you, as your own majority, can steer in the right direction. But once you've dedicated yourself to this relatively unpopular way of thinking, you start to find strength in being your own best friend. You are your biggest, most genuine support system. Others around you can either make your vision more clear or more foggy. It's still the same vision, though, the whole way through. Just keep staring at the same spot for long enough and you'll see it no matter how hazy it becomes.

If you're anything like me (and who I am I to assume you are), then you just do what feels right to you. And as long as we all realize that we're in it for the right reasons, then it doesn't matter how odd our approach may seem. You and me and him and her, we're all pretty much the same. Take care, sweetheart.

Much love always,
LM

I try to live my life by one simple rule:

I don't like stuff that sucks.

Chaos Monkey always knows what I mean. I'm not wondering why I'm who I am or how I came to be where I am, but why I like what I like. A much smaller question that seems to have a more distant answer... thank you all, though.

I realized after writing my above novel that perhaps my point totally got lost. Basically, I was just saying that we like what makes us feel good and stuff that makes us feel bad is lame. It's just a real bummer when you keep having to explain to people why those things make you feel good. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks!

G'night,

I hear you. In that case, at least take solace ine the fact that you don't have to explain it to me. You are who you are and I'm plenty grateful for what little I know of you. Nowif only you were an auto mechanic, then I would be REALLY grateful for who you are.

Hugs,
