Posting on Posting
I was recently bemoaning my lack of posts here, and spouting clichés about how there "just wasn't enough time in the day." Larso responds, "Do you not think that your current situation is better than when you were able to write every day? Having a life outside of your computer is the normal and healthy thing to do."
Cynic that I am, I immediately focused on the reverse implications lurking behind his theory. Does this mean that I shouldn't have a feeling of satisfaction after posting? Is a bit of a pat-myself-on-the-back with a job-well-done inappropriate? Should I instead strive to cultivate a healthy social life and grieve when life has handed me an opportunity to write?
But then I remembered that Larso doesn’t know sh!t anyway.

Blog envy?
As a Libra i believe that balance is the key so perhaps Larso does know shit after all.
