"I woke up this morning,
ate a bowl of Cheerios,
went over to my neighbors house,
and pushed him down the stairway of my mind." - FJZirkel 1991 (ish)
Right now, I'm wondering how the F*#! I charged $724.19 on my AMEX card??!! Ok. Pay $324.19 now, and then... $400 in 7 days.. Ok. Mortgage due in 7 days. Alright, ... Need a plan. Ok. Shit.
I love my new Cellphones.. Sprint Mogul rocks... Cost me exactly $724.19 for two, plus there is a $190.00 power bill in there... Wait. I get it. Now, WTF was I thinking? Ok. Switched from Verizon to reduce overall monthly cell expenses (was $179.00 total montly) to Sprint SERO which is $30.00/phone plus tax per phone.. Total bill after 2x $7.00 handset insurance is $87.00. That be prorated less 3 days of course. My savings is about $90.00 per month... So, I ought to break even in about 6 months.... Stupid ranting, good thing I signed a 2yr contract. Wait... Someone remind me to submit my rebates.. $150.00 rebate potential there.

Super 'Chiken' Redux eh?
Generalization: To all Armchair: Politicians, Miscreants, Allergants, Conspirists, HypocroTheorists, and Anti-ists ~ Stand up! You're represented here well, and in kind. Lets hear it for the 512!
* Am I surrounded by people who are more intelligent than I am or does everyone feel this stupid all the time? Dare I make an observation here? I must say that people believe what people say, especially when they don't understand the way, that defensive mechanisms work. I have co-workers who rant on with an over abundance of confidence, with hyper-egoism regarding their laser focused intellectual capacities. They stand on their desks making grand proclamations and incantations on how good they are at their jobs. The desk stand is metaphoric, of course. Many of these statements may be true, if only slightly; but who dares to challenge them if it is not? None. No-one thus far has stood to challenge these statements.
The lesson learned here is that it is conceivable that it is achievable to self promote rather than deprecate based on the knowledge that everyone feels insecure. I think that this is more-so intense regarding their performance intellectually for fear of an exposure of their own stated levels of capacity. After all, it is not common for an individual to be rifled a IQ test as an immediate challenge to an arrogant statement is it? I think not.
Think of this the next time you are feeling insecure in your own position. It is usually not so obvious to the insecure position holder at the time of the occurrence, but if one observes from the outside, the apple does not fall far from the tree. After all, you are breathing the same mechanically cooled air.
