The Emotional side isn't really listening to the Rational side. Not sure it ever does....

The Emotional side will come around eventually. Or, at least tone down to a dull roar of peaceful resignation. This is one of those things that takes time. I hate saying it just as much as I hated having to learn it the hard way.

I think that's pretty much what the Emotional side is made for. Sometimes they coincide, sometimes you have to go with one or the other, and hopefully you end up with a balance between them over the long term. If it were a wimpy little Emotional side that always listened to reason, it wouldn't be worth having one at all.

I'm breaking for you, Sean. But you're a good man, and you're doing what's right. And even so, that doesn't ever make it easy.

I really love you guys.

Sorry about the screwed up glowing AC compressor, Joe.

I am too, but I kinda wish I could have seen it.

Me too.

Me three. Get it straight, people! Metaphorical meltdowns call for punctuational hugs; literal meltdowns call for flickr sets!

I am too, but I kinda wish I could have seen it.

In my brain it was scary yet beautiful. Glad you made it to the shop OK, MM.

speaking of my brain... This morning I drove past a guy who was wearing a long-sleeved blue sweatshirt, a red vest and a red & blue cap but when I first glimpsed him I thought he was Spider-Man. Yes, I am a geek.

when I first glimpsed him I thought he was Spider-Man

Thought he was dressed as Spider-Man, or thought he WAS Spider-Man? Do we need to worry about the voices taking over?

I really love you guys.

It was kinda awesome in the "If this was happening to someone else this would be made of Awesome and filed under 'Suh' for 'Suh-weeeeet!'"

As it was happening to me it was more of a "Fuck. Seriously? Fuck."

In my brain it was scary yet beautiful.

I don't know about "beautiful". Neat, though.

"Scary" only for a bit until I determined the car was not about to burst into flames. And then the serpentine belt snapped. And it was scary again for a second.

And then a CAT jumped from behind the garbage cans JUST WHEN THE MUSIC WAS GETTING EERIE...

Anyway.

I'd give ya hugs, Sean, but that wouldn't be all manly. So, uh...
