Puzzled

Someone wrote a very nice note on my Clarity post (you have to click on the title to see comments) but did not sign their name. To whomever wrote it, please email me so I know who you are. If you are a robot, nice job in convincing me that you’re real. On to the more introspective portion of this here entry.

In cmans words, “Chances are, you’re just going to be average”. Which is comforting and disappointing in turns. Sometimes I really wish I were great. You know, like really great. Or even (gasp) stupefyingly great. I mean, Mr. Borlaug went to the UMN, right?

One last thing. As of the instant I am typing this, Iraq has cost the United States $356,392,034,693. If you have difficulty putting that number into real terms (as I do) that’s the value of 700 new schools in each of the 50 states.

    Although it was not me who left the message, it’s a complement that you thought I might have — so, thanks! Hope we can get together soon!

    I am not a robot (at least not yet) and Thanks!
    What I love about the cyber life is that people can talk to each other without knowing the borders and limitations that appear as our identity or our place in the society and make our distances look too far apart and our hearts too closed, so we only hear each other distorted and are being left misunderstood. Therefore apologies for remaining anonymous. Of course if I want to pick a habit of leaving messages I should pick a name like Pip.
