Talking Points

I’m a bit too spread around at the moment to come up with nice, thick and chewy weblog entries for fur­ther mas­ti­ca­tion. Thoughts still bur­ble up but I don’t seem to have time to fat­ten them up. I’m going to list a few here in rough form for lat­er exer­cise.

• While brain drain is a prob­lem, I’d like to find some Cleve­land job oppor­tu­ni­ties that don’t stick young enthu­si­as­tic folks like myself in bor­ing, unen­gag­ing jobs that require lit­tle thought, less action and no cre­ativ­i­ty.

† I need new boots, sneak­ers, and run­ning shoes. I also decid­ed to start doing situps and pushups in the morn­ings before my show­er so I don’t have to take a show­er in the evening unless I go run­ning. That did­n’t work so well this morn­ing as many guys will most like­ly under­stand.

‡ I think many of my self-esteem and self-con­fi­dence issues have to do with my fam­i­ly’s life­long appar­ent lack of con­fi­dence in my abil­i­ty to do things just fine thank you, with­out need­ing super­vi­sion or check­ing in.

§ Humans are meant to be holis­ti­cal­ly active, not tube­worms.

¿ I want more agency in my life.

¤ Appar­ent­ly I’m kind of bummed about some­thing. Prob­a­bly because I’ve not got­ten any in a while.

¡ My redesign is dri­ving me bat­ty because it won’t dis­play prop­er­ly in IE, no mat­ter what I try and it is only super­fi­cial­ly dif­fer­ent than my Tremon­ter site, which dis­plays just fine.
