May be some light posting ahead.

I’m in information overload mode, sometimes refered to as “SPONGE” where I am indiscriminately pulling in gobs of stuff for analysis by the subconcious.

I’d say you can blame Spud by sending me that link, but that would be a lie. I have been looking at stuff Jordan Peterson has been putting out for awhile, gleaning good impressions from other writers, just hadn’t pulled the trigger on actually diving into that pool,,,

Until yesterday’s work session listening to him talk.

Ya might say that Spud’s link was the peice of gravel that started this avalanche.

And it’s making me pull out the mirror again (shush B, you know me and my introspections and that that is just how I am,,,)

IMO, no one is perfect, and I take that to heart and continuously look at how I am dealing with life and if/what/where I can improve myself. And some of the things Jordan says, hit me on the oblique and well,,,,, DIVE IN DIO, the waters fine.

And being at the shop all day with zero to minimal distractions, I can put the headphones in and listen to podcasts, lectures, etc etc and that makes the day go by oh so much faster; so yah, I am swimming in LOADS of information and ideas and just soaking them in. Not trying to assess things just yet, (that happens when I close my eyes and I wake up at zero dark when some little bomb of “oh, thats what he meant!” goes off in me head. I learn best this way, if its intangible/abstract/philosophical. Hands on stuff is the “must get paws dirty” type learning.

But I gotta say, his ‘bend’ on religion sits well with mine: he uses the bible frequently to illlustrate his points without being evanglistic about it. I can dig on that. Its the evangelist that does the “THIS IS THE WAY AND NO OTHER” that gets under my skin faster than a skinhead socialist punk with Daddies credcard to back him up.

Anywhoos,,, I will be posting, but may be ‘off beat’ for me while I am stewing in all of these words (spoken and read) flying around looking for niches to fill.

(PS: I much prefer the live versions from Oingo Boingo,,, The studio stuff never hits me the same way.)
