Strangely, I've started to get feedback on this thing by now. Everything from "Man, you inspired me to be profound," and "I couldn't have said it better myself," to things more akin to "Mindlessly philosophical," and "It sounds like you're trying to be deep." And all of it is great. I'd like to say thank you I'll take it under consideration, but Ryan and I had a long talk about responses and criticisms last night, and agreed that you shouldn't change to or from what other people think. I still find that it's impossible and foolish to ignore it completely, though.

I've been noticing that lately too. Whenever I get into an argument with someone, especially Ryan, it always ends up as a stalemate. Or at least I never budge more than a few inches. We'll talk for hours and both just rephrase what we say a thousand different ways. I used to think that I didn't inherant all of the stubborness from my father and mother. Megan surely has it in large measures... but now I can kind of see where I'm thick-headed. I'm easy going when it comes to decisions or what's on the radio. My stubborn tendancies are towards philosophy and theory. Ideas. Anything abstract I will argue all day and night, it's only the practical things which I am indifferent to.
