Summer in review

Aug 12, 2008 19:41

It was more of a learning experience than a competitive summer. After 2007, I'd have to look at 2008 as a rebuilding year, hoping for a push into 2009. 2007... may be the best year I'll ever get to march ( Read more... )

Sounds like you've done some introspective things this summer...are you willing to share how you understand pain vs. pleasure in a different way now? And what exactly do you mean by "aftermath"? The aftermath of your new understanding? And if it's caused you to be a better friend, you will, de facto, be a better person...What are your criteria for being a "better friend/person"? I'm always curious about other people's journeys thru the often muddy waters of pain vs. pleasure...physical, emotional, psychic, etc...Have you read Eckhart Tolle yet? have a good day. Peace.

I appreciate your interest, but who are you?

I certainly didn't mean to offend you or cause you to feel defensive...if that's how my response came across, I'm sorry...there was no block on your post, so I felt free to comment in what I hoped was a constructive way...as far as who I am goes, check out my profile; it's a whole lot more complete than most user's...have a good one.

It was just an eye opener, I suppose. I didn't put a block on this post because it didn't contain any personal information, but at the same time I wasn't anticipating the outside world to come in. I suppose it should be expected that if you give permission for anyone on the web to look at something, some will. Just makes you wonder how many eyes are at your window.

I'm curious as to how/why you found me. I'm not hiding from the world, but I'm pretty low profile on this site. Why me, coach?

Hi Dylan,

As I might have mentioned, I'm a pretty new user on LJ, so I've just been exploring it as fully as possible to figure out how the whole thing works...to be honest with you, I found you by sheer "accident"...however, your post struck a chord in me in terms of stuff that I've learned/am learning around the same issues...and it's obvious that you're introspective and have a brain, so my response was really a way of acknowledging your "Being", your process and to simply say, "Yeah, I get what you're talking about here and want to know more about your insights cuz they might help me"...does that make sense? Anyway, hope you had a good day and perhaps we'll chat again, huh? Be well.
