		<description>Monica: It was a great article, and had me noodling on it for several days. Your advice is always compelling and useful!

David: OH! OH, I see, VERY LITTLE RELEVANT INFO -- *sob* -- oh, wait, you meant something different. I will rewind my tears back into my eyeholes!

Daniel: Three cheers, indeed, sir. Glad to have you reading and contributing. Rock on, man.

		<description>Will --

I apologize if you thought I was giving you advice with this blog post. I was not. Your life is your own and you should choose to do with it as you&#039;d like.

Like most self-centered things, this blog is about me. :)

*I* do not allow the anxiety to affect my writing. It used to. I stopped that from happening by deciding that I didn&#039;t want it to happen anymore; it&#039;s one place I like to have complete control. Note, I&#039;m not suggesting anybody not be anxious. I&#039;m anxious all the time about all kinds of things. My neuroses plague me. I just refuse to let them have control over my writing, and that has been a long self-training process to get it there.

As to why I blog funny -- well, I&#039;ll just say that I actually think the Internet is *too* serious. People are way too uptight outside their own corners of Ye Olde Cyberspace.

Anyway. To clarify, in case it was muddy, I&#039;m not trying to tell other people How They Should Blog. I&#039;m explaining How I Blog.

Do with that as you will.

		<description>I don&#039;t always blog funny because I think taking things seriously is useful. The Internet disagrees with me and is more popular.

The anti-anxiety argument &quot;Do not be anxious, as I am not anxious,&quot; which I hear... a lot... is rather like telling someone who&#039;s drowning that they should breathe air. It doesn&#039;t make the water go away.</description>

Looking forward to more posts from you.

		<description>Three cheers for the opinionated and strange!

You&#039;ve certainly insinuated yourself into my regular reading schedule, so I&#039;d say you&#039;re on the right path. Kudos.
