I am firmly of the opinion that if Cary Tennis and everyone who wrote in to him were all put into a Thunderdome elimination event, the world would be a better place.
Let me translate a recent letter.http://www.salon.com/life/since_you_aske�
Dear Cary,
I�m a worldly, well-traveled, experienced and vibrant woman, still young (age 55), I have a wide network of interesting friends, a talented, caring and loving husband and a young adult daughter � who is holding her own and doing well.
I have an utterly inflated opinion of myself.I was blessed (I guess) with physical beauty and I have a strong and elegant personal style. I was fortunate to retire with a full pension almost two years ago and set upon a life of leisure while pursuing my art as an avocation, have held two successful gallery exhibits and produced a book as well, which has been very well received in my Rust Belt American city. I am an INFJ, if that tells you anything. The most marked characteristic to me is that we are only 3 percent of the population.
I have an utterly inflated opinion of myself.I consider myself to be very strong and am a survivor. I won�t go into my past except to say�
I am firmly on the path of being the woman I would have wanted to be when I was younger and full of doubt, avoidance, fear and uncertainty.
I have an utterly inflated opinion of myself.I recently began working again, part-time, at a small retail establishment that is a corporate entity of her sister stores.
I was lying previously when I said that I retired with a pension. In fact, my career was a mess, and now I�m working retail at the age of 55 because I need the money.It�s located in an affluent suburb in a pretty little shopping district that was built for just this purpose: retail. A pretty, little fake town with nice shops selling expensive goods: This is how the shopping district is set up. It�s pleasant and pretty and in my view it�s all pretend. Or it�s not. It�s all about marketing and spending money and capitalism.
I believe that I�m an artist and a genius, and it is intolerable to me that business majors and engineering majors build shopping centers that attracts lots of customers, and merely hire architects and graphic designers to do work for hire � in a better world, we artists and dilettantes would be rewarded by society for our supposed genius. Not those grubby little logic-based business guys.
Heh... The other half at the
TJIC site. Pitch Perfect...
