This is my first near real-time entry since the very first one was just playing around and the almost first one was developed a week before posting here. This one is hopefully a motivating opening statement. Thanks, Lib, for setting this up for me. I wouldn't have done it myself, lazy as I am. I hope I use my new powers for good, but if not, I'll just be good at using them. I'm learning quickly enough so far. If only I could do this stuff at work. I'd write pages and pages nearly every day. Guess that's why they call it work. So, this whole thing is dedicated to Lib, the remains of MAAS and, of course, selfishness. What does an agnostic-dyslexic-insomniac do at bedtime? Lay awake all night wondering if there really is a dog. Oh, and just in case it's okay to add to the posting after posting, here's my other stuff for today... If anyone knows how to bring back that thing... you know, the passion, or mystical outlook on everything, or whatever it is, once you've outgrown it... Send an email my way. I've tried to achieve "mushy" mindset many times in the past few years and it's just not running up as it once did. Not that I really need such a frivolous thing. Govan'am will agree that it is more a waste of energy than a boon. Objectively, realistically, being mushy is self-destructive. I like being emotionless and analytical. But I miss the crystalline moments when I was "deep" and emotional and mystical and all those things that seemed to "work well on girls."
