You have, with this blog entry, given me something wholly new and un-thought of to think about. Thank you. It is truly rare that I encounter something actually foreign to my little world. (My god, we human beings are certainly compartmentalized, aren't we?)
....I came across your blog through your interest in video games. Hey, have you played the new "Etrian Odyssey" game yet? It's fucking awesome.
This list is bang on. I never fit in with the guys and still don't. Although in some ways it's good because my kids aren't subject to this type of behaviour (especially #'s 3 and 4).
What you say provokes a little mirth, but a greater barrage of thoughts. So, you are a philosopher? ;)
