My Truisms

1)In order to clean up a mess, you must first make a bigger one

2)There are two kinds of people in the world: A)Those that think they are the
same as everyone else, and B)Those that think they are different from everyone
else(I would say I'm the first type.)

3)Almost every argument can be disassembled into one of two arguments:
A)"I know you." or B)"You don't know me."

4)The last little bit is usually wasted (but it's not usually worth saving so maybe 'wasted' is the wrong word)

5)Ultimatums are Ultimately Bad

6)Most stories fall into 2 categories:  They're either about a writer/journalist or they're about a cop/guard.  There are few that avoid these stereotypes.

A Metaphor for Bones

I've been thinking about this blog lately, and while I haven't added much, I've been trying to decide what it means to me.  An ossuary is a place for bones, but what would digital bones be?

 I needed to find a good metaphor.  The heart usually represents a person's soul, the brain their mind, and their blood is a life force... bones?  I think bones are like their secrets... we keep them hidden, but they are essential.

This is a great metaphor for a blog, so I'm just going to stick with that...I feel like this is one place I can write "in secret" because there is so little traffic here anyways.
