This isn't my first post, so sue me. I'm only now deciding to fully commit. Sex before marriage, I say.

So, I only first saw the movie "Fight Club" about a month ago. So I'm new to Chuck and FC, but I'm not new to the ideas. I love Nietzsche and enlightenment/personal power type ideas. I have some of my own. The narative or story really helps get you there. Teaching in the formal, traditional way is very inefficient. I'm currently exploring the use of Conversation as a way of making it happen. Not teaching conversation, but experience via conversation. I've seen alot of people trying to talk about learning, even some trying to talk about talking about learning. But who is ready to learn while talking? So I'm plopping myself down in the middle here and I'm going to engage some of you.

I'm not stupid, though I haven't had time to read as much as I'd like and I haven't gone up through the education system in order to acquire pieces of paper. I don't believe in that system.

And I don't want to be talked past or through. Talk TO me. I am not a despised group or type or kind or cliche or any other thing you can isolate and marginalize. I'm an indevidual who can think and learn and type all at the same time!

I look forward to the exchanges.

That line's getting old, and I've only been here a month. How about "Welcome to the sanitarium", or "Welcome to the jungle".

I say this sometimes, along with "big top."

Hey dude, I try to vary it with "Welcome aboard the crazy ship" sometimes, or build on the idea of staying away from the people in straitjackets, but "asylum" is the closest word to describe this place that makes sense to me. And your rhyming to new members is a gimmick tht will get quickly old.

I inherently admire people who use the "Caution!" emoticon.

C'mon! Chop chop! This is a fast-paced place and you've gotta fly by the seat of your pants, 'cause if you snooze you lose.

Ok.

If you're suggesting I talk about that particular collection of works, I can't because I don't have it and haven't read it. Poop. I've read excerpts of him. Alot. It all makes sence and once I get into his flow, I can almost finish his sentences... scary.

If you're just saying "go for it", then, thanks, I shall.

Very nice sig. It reminds me of this piece which I just read yesterday:

"Decently there ye stand, and stiff, and with a stiff back, ye famous wise men! Ye are not driven by any strong wind or will.
Saw ye never a sail go over the sea, rounded and blown up and trembling with the violence of the wind?
Like that sail, trembling with the violence of the spirit, my wisdom goeth over the sea- my wild wisdom!
But ye servants of the folk, ye famous wise men, how could ye go with me!
-Thus spake Zatathustra"

I'm sorry if I irritated you. Thanks for the welcome.

I can't stop or slow the thinking thing. I've tried. I have to integrate everything. I am vulnerable to splitting like Jack did if I don't try. So, I can tangle too. Tangling is fun. Tangle with ya later...

I have a dreadful fondness for the ones in straitjackets.

I need that little ditty from your signature to put on the grave of someone I dated who thought he was god's fuckin' gift to the thinking world. It says it all.
