Well, I'm updating here - again. Not much is new except I now AM half way to 50. And well - I still kinda get flummoxed by this secion. I can tell you how I see myself and what and who I feel/think/believe I am and yet if you ask my friends (and my non-friends) they'll probably contradict me in both directions.

a little life. Yup. Just a small, fairly inconsequential little life. When did it happen that everybody is "supposed to find their bliss" and live grand, "fulfilling" lives that they can point to and use to prove that they are actualized/growing/becomingwhothey'resupposedtobe/ and all the rest.

I truly am curious. When did it not become okay to just - live. To get up and go to work and just enjoy the fact you had a paycheck - when did that become "beneath" people - or worse - a sign... read more
