| Here's another poser. I've
looked, but I can't find the answer to this one anywhere!
...Scallops! I'm a big fan of shell fish. Cooked or raw,
...I can eat tons and not get tired.
I was thinking about this the other day, ...when I eat mussels
and clams and oysters, ...I eat the entire thing, ...but when I eat
scallops, I only eat the adductor muscle. Why is this?
Is the rest of the bivalve have a bad taste or something? Is
it too sand-ridden? |

Let me start this update with a little
story my Dad told me once. I'm not sure if I've already written this
on a previous update, so bare with me...
...the story is about a night watchman at a construction company.
Every night he sees a worker leave with a wheel barrel full of sand.
He, of course, thinks nothing of it. Who would steal sand?
It turns out that the worker was stealing wheel barrels!
I bring this up because more and more lately, I notice that this is
very similar to most of the talking people do, at least mine. |

Although I believe I am making
statements of sand, all too often there is an underlying wheel
barrel that is the real message. It's hard to think of exact
examples right now. Most of these wheel barrels come in the form of
deep-seated ego-masturbations, ...like trying to gain further peer
acceptance, or cries for help and attention. Other times, they
are actual attempts at subtle manipulation.
Let's see, ...this is overly simple, but how about the times I yell out "I am getting sick and
fucking tired of missing my weekends!" during crunch modes. True, I
really am frustrated with all the overtime, ...but everyone already
knows that, ...and I know they know that. The real message, however,
the message I can hear inside when I take the time to listen, is
"Somebody PLEASE tell me I'm doing a good job and tell me I work
hard!".This is one of those things that is much easier to
see in someone else than yourself. I am amazed how much is
said, every day, that is full of sand. I started seeing my own
wheel barrels when I went to therapy three years ago.
This is probably the biggest advantage in seeing a therapist. A
therapist will see the wheel barrels. After a few sessions, you will
see the wheel barrels. I used to be very anti-therapy, ...I mean,
...how can someone else know me better than me? ...I don't even know
me ;) Trust me, though, it is well-worth some time with one of
these trained watchmen. |
