Ron – You’ll have to take the tongue thing up with Theresa. I’m sure she could find a use for it.

G.D. – Probably if I met someone who would love my job I’d start to get all defensive about it and thwart their efforts to get it. Yeah, right.

Thanks about the profile picture. I took it myself last week, with a tiny little tripod on my desk and a timer on the shutter. Why don’t you dump the she-devil and give us another one of you?

I wonder what would happen if we all dropped what we feel is mundane and went for that which makes us feel complete and happy…and here, perhaps, lies the answer to all of society’s problems. People are generally pissed off with their lives and often look over their shoulders wishing they could walk in someone else’s shoes.

I bet you someone would love your job and then the next person, would dream for the person who took your job’s job…and so on. Amazing how we live petrified by fear and self-preservation.

There are some many brave people who just pick up and go for their dreams…is that the secret to achieve greatness??…Fearless believe in one’s dreams? What could go wrong if we would all risk everything to achieve happiness? To lose everything…what is everything?? A roof, a car, a yard and fistfuls of green exchange notes? At the end, if the leap of faith backfires, we could just get another shitty job.

Well, I may say it to all the boys, but what would you know about that?

Also, you may not be that much of a charlatan, but sometimes I don’t have as much time as I have spunk and twaddle. Tell Theresa. I’d stick my tongue out at her, but she’d probably claim she doesn’t need that kind of tongue!

Ron – You say that to all the boys, don’t you?

t1 – It’s our protest song, and you could help the act a bit if you’d flash us your tits once in a while.

Theresa – Yeah, I know I need discipline. But I’m not really that grumpy.

Not long ago, whilst in the middle of an angst ridden “how the hell did I get here?” attack, my beloved partner and lifelong best friend said, “Why do you keep torturing yourself searching for purpose and definition in your life? Is it possible for you simply live everyday and enjoy yourself?”

So, I’m doing that instead. It’s nice not to be burdened with the responsibility of figuring out a puzzle that may not have an answer. Best of all, I can focus on more important things.

I also agree with most of what Ron said in his 2nd paragraph (with the exception of the “grumpy old charlatan” bit). I’d add that you deserve a spanking … but you already know that.

“Right on, Mr. Csikszentmihalyi” I think you should work this into the lyrics of your protest song- like the finale of a live show where the lead singer usually says: “Thank you! Goodnight!” That is my contribution…..(-:

There’s a number of people around here who seem to think you’re a very charming and amusing fellow, but being one myself I know the untrustworthy antics of a curmudgeon and would not mistake one even if he happened to be a chameleon, too. Therefore, though you may be cute, I am not not fooled. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? I don’t know; I forgot while I was writing it. Damn. I wish I was only a curmudgeon and not suffering from brain damage and body fatigue as well!

Maybe I was only going to say that your latest profile photo is a good one. I can perceive the handsome young man who used to be there as well as the grumpy old charlatan you’re turning into. There’s nothing wrong with you that more pussy, more love and affection, and more creative outlets couldn’t cure. I recommend that you perform cunnilingus more often. Perhaps you would end up cunning enough to escape your morass? If it works for you, let me know; I’d like to perform like an armless sex seal myself.
