small things

i suppose that not everyone can go around waving guns in the air, threatening others, or taking bottles of pills and then calling 911 on the conveniently close land phone (it's apparently easier to trace than a cell).

perhaps the rest of us do small things, like denying ourselves food, or deliberately have unprotected sex with new "friends," or secretly cutting ourselves where it won't be seen or noticed by our co-workers. stupid crap like that. it proves that we are alive and invincible, we are strong and in control.

possibilities

i know it's old, but i just read this article about a guy finishing his ph.d after 30 years. he didn't consistently work on it for 30 years; he started it 30 years ago, and then took a break. a long break.

brian may is my hero! kudo's to you, sir.
