About Me

I work alot. I think I need a vacation. But I like to work... but maybe a vacation would be nice... but then again working feels good. I wish I could get payed more to learn... yeah, learning is nice... and having people to learn with is even more nice. I've thought about going to therapy to argue with the therapist regarding the merits of therapy.. now paying someone to listen to me monologue.. that is indeed joy. Maybe it would be really fun to see the effect it would have on the different therapists... I'm so hostile to the notions and "science" behind clinical psych. I would be so offensive to the therapists... maybe that can be my vacation.

It turns out that this Myspace thingy of mine has become a thing dedicated to my students and the school. I mean, it was a student who got me to start it - and the reason was that so many of my students have one, and so many were asking me about getting one. So I guess here it is. I think 95% of my friends are students... ha
