After thinking about your post, and note that I say thinking, not arguing with myself incessantly about things you said, anyway, I realized your blog reminds me of a mix between the work of Strong Bad from homestarrunner.com and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The Russian guy who wrote Crime and Punishment, but it's his writing in Notes from the Underground that reminded me of your post. Making this comment longer than it should be, here is a quote from the book:<BR/><BR/>"What is to be done with the millions of facts that bear witness that men, consciously, that is fully understanding their real interests, have left them in the background and have rushed headlong on another path, to meet peril and danger, compelled to this course by nobody and by nothing, but, as it were, simply disliking the beaten track, and have obstinately, wilfully, struck out another difficult, absurd way, perversity were pleasanter to them than any advantage."<BR/><BR/>So anyway, I thought it was interesting and thought I'd share. Don't ask why I was reading Dostoyevsky's work for fun. By the way, I don't mind if you remove my comment like last time, I just hope you give the good guy in your head a chance to get his word in first. By the way, not even Emmaly made much sense of my comment here so you're with the majority if you don't either--Thanks for the entertaining blog made for readin'.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12019011024577272435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913887245937753148.post-13510997296198812112008-12-08T15:21:00.000-08:002008-12-08T15:21:00.000-08:00wow mike....i think i'm gonna have to get help for...wow mike....i think i'm gonna have to get help for you when you come down to texas!!!KCMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166745843179951060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913887245937753148.post-53353773106056058032008-12-07T19:10:00.000-08:002008-12-07T19:10:00.000-08:00So, I was going to complain about how your blog po...So, I was going to complain about how your blog posts tell me nothing about what you are doing in Michigan, but then I realized that it tells me about the mental toll nuclear engineering must be having on you. Also, you left out one of the biggest advantages of being a person who talks to yourself...when you insult someone under your breath, you can just say "I was talking to myself" and they believe you.Dan Ritterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06929735484113851070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913887245937753148.post-86426603426736999562008-12-07T18:41:00.000-08:002008-12-07T18:41:00.000-08:00Way to work Paint!

Makes for some tricky conversations and often ends in confusion. (On their part. I know exactly what's going on!)Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421409632244031191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913887245937753148.post-44989372733507991972008-12-07T14:28:00.000-08:002008-12-07T14:28:00.000-08:00Mike, you are one of the most unpredictable guys I...Mike, you are one of the most unpredictable guys I know.
