I had a girlfriend who used to apologise everytime she said something or asked for something or had a disagreeing comment. She had no idea how much that little habit was impacting her self-esteem and confidence. It took three years of me saying "don't apologise for yourself" to her everytime she said it for her to break the habit.

Now she'd sooner punch someone in the face than apologise for who she is. She is less concerned with the opinions of others and has the confidence to make decisions for herself based on what she wants.

Our self-images are made manifest in the way that we speak and the things that we say.

It's absolutely a hard habit to break.

I read a study once about brain paths in regards to that.

It basically said that if you act or think in a certain way for long enough, it sort of causes 'ruts' in your brain paths. So when we say that it's hard to change the way you think, it's because it's physically hard.

Not impossible though.

If I can do it, anyone can!

It's alright, dude. I totally appreciate ur honesty. I don't want him to feel that way, either. Now if only I could erase all his memories of ever liking me....jk. That would suck.

Yes, goeth the Cubs.

hey there! where'd that other new mask profile pic go? that was cool! hope you're doin' great!

Uhg...it was soo cool too...I have pictures and awards and ....damn it, I'm so mad at myself! I went to save it and hit "Ctrl C" and my finger slipped off of the "ctrl" key!!!! Arrrggg!

So, I am going to attempt it again on Sunday when I'm not totally pissed off...

...and yes, you should wear a tux, you are a nominee in one category!

oh, and i've found the no smoking/no drinking/no drugs thing makes it hard to relate to a lot of people, you feel the same?

sometimes i think these things would be easier if i could just go "get a beer and hang back with the guys" or something similarly standard.

I seriously doubt you suck.

Oh, I forgot that all Evan's friends are from MI, and therefore Pistons fans. Sadly, I'm subjected to the exquisite agony of being a Boston sports fan. Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox... Boston is the Sammy Hagar of sports cities: once a cocksure rock star, now trying desperately and unsuccessfully to regain a tiny shred of his cool. All we have is the Patriots, and I don't even like football...

I totally am up for a hardcore steel cage match to the death

I'm all about Jeopardy. I don't know if there's anywhere we could play it online. It would be fun though.

Yay for happy Doug!

Hey man, thank you for cheering me up and making me feel alright. It really means a lot.

I love my bestest Ami..Im gald we found each other she is so awesome and I hold her close to my heart!!!

hey there!

One of the best films ever -- period! SO many good lines -- James The Pussy, the Poodle, whatever you are. . . The Grinch that Stole Blackness . .. .

and who can forget the ever-popular -- "You're my nigger as your turban grows bigger." It's perhaps Damon Wayan's finest work, and that's a huge statement.

Comics...hmm. Deffinitely check out the Harley Quinn series. The new X-Men is pretty good, too.

indeed, if not for the work. and the fact i haven't seen a woman in 6 weeks. It's like a chain gang.

the tattoos i'm planning to get are: a lotus on my hip to cover that ugly tattoo i have and a random multi color star pattern (like Snow's), going down my side...whadda ya think?
