Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of September 15, 2019
• It’s okay to admit that you don’t know or understand something. In fact, it can be beneficial. It gives you the opportunity to listen better, differently, to learn something new and one day be the know-it-all you always knew you were.
• Few things make a man feel old like when his younger brother turns thirty-seven.
• Do I think Justice Brett Kavanaugh is a criminal? No. Do I think he did some abhorrent shit when he was a young man? Yep. Do I think he was a big fucking asshole in high school and college? Uh-huh. Do I think he could have matured and gone on to be an acceptable member of society? Sure. Do I think he’s fit to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court? No way. Why? Because he’s a partisan wanker with terrible temperament for the position. Do “I believe her?” Sure do.
• On Wednesday, I wrote this sentence for a client’s blog: “Your diet is the best and most direct path to ensure your breast milk is the best milk.” I’m still laughing about it.
• No matter how many podcasts we listen to or how many think pieces we read or how much we love our parents and children of the opposite sex, we can never, ever fully understand or know the experience of the other sex. Actually, the thing is, we can never, ever fully understand or know the experience of anyone other than ourselves. And, frankly, most of us struggle to understand our own shit. Know this much and you’ll be set free from the bondage that is assumption.
• A new computer quickly loses its sheen once you transfer all your old shit to it.
