God dammit.
All you hippy-dippies on tumblr need to get a real job.
I need someone who can commiserate with me. Who else struggles with intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation? Old people out there, how did you resolve the struggle?
If I’m not happy all the time, is that a bad thing, or is that just life?
Is the expectation that “doing what you love means you’ll never be unhappy”...

It's a Monday...again
Which of course means I’ll be trying my damnedest to not do any work again. Today’s strategy will be comprised mainly of looking at vehicles (because I’m in the market, it’s only a matter of time until my current chariot breaks down) and figuring out the standard prices/ages/spec of the ones I aspire to. Then I may do some light reading with my door closed, coupled with...

Our main job as psychotherapists, in fact, was to “re-parent” our patients, to provide a “corrective emotional experience” in which they would unconsciously transfer their early feelings of injury onto us, so we could offer a different response, a more attuned and empathic one than they got in childhood.
At least, that was the theory. Then I started seeing patients.

The Worst Reason to Tattoo Abe Lincoln to Your... →
What’s up with the 5-dollar bill tattoo on his neck?: “I was going to get Martin Luther King and I told Gilbert Arenas. You should never tell nobody your idea. That summer, he came back and got it. So I didn’t know who to get. I got Abraham Lincoln because he freed the slaves. I just had Abraham Lincoln and, from a distance, everybody kept saying, ‘Who is that?’ So I...

Mo' Money
Woke up at 5 this morning. It’s a “cheat” day which means I can eat whatever I want, so I get up as early as possible to take full advantage of this fact.
Anyway, I’ve spent the better part of the morning trying to flesh out a couple of ideas for stacking that cheddar. Idea one involves creating a subscription-based compliance marketing company. Not an original idea, but...

I want to start using “it’s” as a response - like “is that shirt black?” “Yes, it’s”. That’s technically correct, right?
You know what? You never really see Yorkies (the dogs) anymore.
