Ready, Reset, Go! (2006-2008)

Hmmm... given some folks amazing ability to know everything that has happened to me in the last two months, while I have, in fact, written almost nothing about it, I really have to say something.


There are those out there who read some words and have long ago believed they understand who I am.

I'm going to so this for those few out there - to most others of you, this does not apply.


There are those who think they understand my life from what little they can find here.

They think they do.

But they do not. And they, in particular, can not.

They think they understand me because, when it comes to writing about personal life, I have granted a very small glimpse of myself - only from what I have allowed to be said here. Only what I have very deliberately chosen to say here, for my own reasons - all honest, but only one side of me.

And using that one-sided information, declaired, many times by me, to be clearly selective and somewhat skewed, there are those who come to their absolute judgment.

But this is highly flawed reasoning - that what one sees is all and what one does not see does not exist.

This holds some water in the physical realm, though even there it is not nearly so absolute as that.

In the human realm, however, an arena of such richness of emotion and intellect, the vastness and variety of it's forms of thought and experience so stunningly documented in millennia of poetry and music, history and science, diatribes and calls to purpose, love letters and suicide notes, psychologists' notebooks and tracts of religious devotion, and songs - songs about anything anyone anywhere has ever thought... well, to make such an assumption in this realm, that what little bit you see from a person is all there is to that person, and what you don't see does not exist, is very simply the height of arrogance.

And it is just this - the inability to entertain that there is likely much more to a person than what one, with their oh-so-limited exposure, has had shown to them - which is the very reason such people can not possibly understand the inner workings of myself - or indeed others.

OK, nuff said. I have a kind of funny video to post which will move this post down a notch, just to keep things un-serious.
