Your post really made me think. ...Thank you Hayden. Your post really made me think. But I didn't think you were calling me snarky and no appology is necessary. Even if you were, I would likely deserve the description since I tend to provoke that in people. Perhaps it is a defense mechanism. Humor has always been my shield.<br /><br />THE Michael,<br />You are a perfect example of someone who seems to be comfortable being rather than tryin to be. And from a blog community point of view, you seem to have done lots of "becoming" in your life.<br /><br />Miss Bliss,<br />You are always free to disagree. I put my clay tablets in the closet after I came down from the mountain. But if just being yourself is enough (and I'm not suggesting it means the same as settling or becomin complacent), wouldn't wanting to be a better "you" unnecessary? I like your mom's saying BTW.<br /><br />Anna, maybe you are there, but you just don't know it yet. Regardless, I don't think accepting who you are becoming comes with the requirement that you give up wanting or doing anything. Being also means particpating and experiencing. You just get to be aware of it more while you are doing it without wondering what the next experience should be.Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838683246636045823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-59242941433634946982007-01-08T18:32:00.000-08:002007-01-08T18:32:00.000-08:00wait, I wasn't clear!
I didn't mean to say TIM ...wait, I wasn't clear! <br /><br />I didn't mean to say TIM is snarky, but that OUR responses have a set pattern, and that pattern is snarky. And I couldn't go there. I couldn't listen to such an open and well-thought out post and summon up even a hint of anything but sincerity in response. I was excusing myself for not playing the Dizgraceland game. <br /><br />clearly I said it poorly, and I appologize.Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758977872663382006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-73890483293536868632007-01-08T18:18:00.000-08:002007-01-08T18:18:00.000-08:00I'm not there yet.

[Not my ...Could it be you're becoming less snarky? [Not my description, btw]<br /><br />I sort of, kind of disagree in a way. Not that your blog needs a point/counterpoint, Jane you ignorant slut.<br /><br />I think that becoming as time goes by is inevitable. Perhaps what changes is that we no longer make it a conscious goal. My New Year's goal [I hate resolutions] is to become a better version of myself. I hope this year to become better at knowing that domestic perfection does not exist and to listen to my Mom's old adage of "no one ever steals dirty dishes." Yeah, I know it's a weird saying, but I think it's worth the risk of finding out if it is really true by leaving the dishes every now and then and doing something for myself instead.<br /><br />I hope this year to become better friends with Tim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-48360199295104972292007-01-08T08:15:00.000-08:002007-01-08T08:15:00.000-08:00Yea, it sure has gotten easier simply "being" what...Yea, it sure has gotten easier simply "being" what I have become rather than stroking out worrying weather or not I was amounting to anything by some prescribed time in my life. It may be all downhill from here as far as I know, but for the meantime, I'm content to just deal with it as it occurs rather than missing out on the here and now altogether worried about tommorrow, which could be cut short by a killer asteroid, knowing my luck. I agree with Hayden, this was a better post, and not nearly as "snarky" as usual.......grin.Alex Pendragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877845166621794334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-21131155161667162652007-01-08T07:29:00.000-08:002007-01-08T07:29:00.000-08:00Wonderful, Tim!

I know that your blog is supposed to be the place for snarky responses, but it was nice for me to read such a serious response to the question... and to hear things that I've been thinking - haltingly, and without clarity - said so simply.Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758977872663382006noreply@blogger.com
