Kind of boring bit today. Yesterday was kind of eventful, with disagreements I won’t really broach here, but not a ton going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m kind of trying to ignore the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of what I’ve been trying to do lately is really go back and re-evaluate previous conclusions, then everything that was based on those conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote a bit about this with the Veterans’ Day entry. Would I be happier if I just continued to rely upon the things that were driven into my head in school?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe. If I remained ignorant of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really do think it’s important to periodically re-examine everything from square zero, and see if you still reach the same conclusions based on new evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s nothing at all wrong with changing your mind. Admitting that you were wrong is tough, but is that tougher than stacking with something you know to be untrue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prompt: Talk about two things about you that would surprise those who know you.(T2K)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. I get really wound-up about things sometimes. I am adept, however, at containing my true feelings. I’m not as much of a nerd as people might think. My math skills aren’t that impressive. But I refuse to let my conclusions remain when there’s hard data that contradicts them. I feel very strongly about some things, but I’m pretty good at controlling my emotions, still, despite my medical condition. When I lose control, it’s often with physical things (sometimes embarrassingly so…)<\/li>
  2. I do pay particular attention to words. “You’re being over-sensitive!” Yeah, but I’m actually paying attention to what you said. Maybe that makes me different, but it’s what I am\/what I do.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    And, with that, I’m halfway through. The mustache is growing in. Still not seeing any gray hair. What the hell?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
