Hypocrisy

Merlin Mann:

Being consistent is WAY less interesting than being yourself. And if you’re not interesting? Good luck with your Big Consistency Project.

This is why I call most things I do around here experiments. I write heated posts on a topic, calm down for a bit and then try the opposite, just to see the other’s guy point of view. If you get too hung up on consistency, you can easily find yourself itching for a fight on a topic for which you have no real vested interest.

Here’s what life comes down to: not how many years you live, but how many of those years are filled with bullshit that doesn’t amount to anything to satisfy the requirements of some dickheads you’ll never get the pleasure of punching in the face.

I have either to learn or have fun when I’m working. That’s my only guideline. If I’m not doing either, I just stop.
