Just one quick bitch ...

Oh, it will leave me soon.  Perspective will re-assert itself and I'll wonder at why I let trivial shit/people bother me in the first place.

Thanks

These things happen, sometimes its hard to get that perspective.

Sometimes I have it, sometimes it stays tantalizingly out of reach and other times, just when I think I have it, it's like trying to carry water in your hands.

* purposefulinsanity passes you the perspective bucket

Will that help?

I'v read a lot of Asimov, but I don't recall that word.  But, then again, I'v never read any of his non-fiction stuff and it's been awhile since I finished reading his Robot/Foundation and other related stories.

I have read over three hundred and some Asimov books. Even his textbooks are interesting.

Roblock is "robot block". It happens when a robot confronts a conflict regarding the Three Laws Of Robotics. They typically stop talking, move forward and reverse in rapid succession or turn around in a small circle, unable to continue on, until they have resolved the "moral" conflict. I do that sometimes, but not over morals, which I am comfortable with, but over the next Big Decision.

... of course, I have days when I can't decide whether to use a knife or a spoon for peanut butter, too. Those are days when I am badly roblocked.




MOD:
Those knife/spoon stimies have been more common lately, because all my decision making energy has gone to my other Big Personal issue.

Bought some damned ice cream.
First time in months. Got a tiny thing
for what a half gallon would have cost.
I hate where I live. Need to be closer
to a store.

Ok, that rings a bell from one of his pre-foundation stories or to be precise, pre-Galactic empire stories.

I don't remember it, and read a bunch of
the Robot series recently. Then again, my
memories not too good.

isn't it strange - i'm trying desperately to move to somewhere out of the way.  perhaps we should swap?

actually, nah - i'm probably too connected to the land here to emigrate.

Rather watch you swapping with one of the
other fine ladies here.

My dreams become reality.
Just give me a bit more time.

You don't like women or you don't let birds watch?

[Lucifer]

oh, i like women well enough, possibly not as you're imagining (my imagination seems to be a bit skew whiff compared to that of others    ).  just that i don't consider any sexual activity on my part a spectator sport.

I didn't say I wasn't willing to be involved.
