... welcome to miggys' intellectual karate:


1. develop your weapon: learn for yourself the things you need to know regardless of popular opinion


2. respect your power: using a bomb to defeat a bug wastes time and resources


3. confidence as control: doubters will always exist. tell them "no thank you" and then be silent


4. karate is for defence only: if you create and win a battle, then arrogance is your new enemy


5. stagnation is slow death: seek knowledge from those who know more, share knowledge with those who know less


6. recognise what is actually a threat: the crow does not concern himself with the arguments of ants

This was awesome
Though let's be serious:
2. respect your power: using a bomb to defeat a bug wastes time and resources

Sure it's overkill, but it just HAS to be fun.

What about crows who are actually ants, and ants that that are actually crows? I usually find that if you put up your hand to being a crow you're usually an ant.

Unless, of course, you include self-delusion as one of the higher mental faculties

It would seem as though people enjoy lavishing praise upon you miggy!!!

This praise is justified, because you are so awesomely clever and wise, you seem to know all about 'the way' *chuckle*

I am starting to realise nothing short of top shelf comes from your little part of the world

BAM!!!

muggy, i have to say, the fine people of ju are unequalled in this area. i have never had so much support and encouragement ... it makes me go all warm and fuzzy inside

(thankyou for your praise, muggy. i don't really know much, sorry. but i am learning so much about people and human nature on here that i am fast becoming an addict. this is partly your doing muggy !!!!)

i hope so

... and i think marco (aka notsohighlyevolved) is waiting on your review of that book you're almost done with. come to think of it, i wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts on it either. marco has suggested i read it, so it would be great to hear your thoughts if you get time.

no pressure about getting back to writing ... yesterday will do

yeah the book itself is a portly 827 pages but it is very good so far and it has my attention.  As soon as I finish I will write a review on it for you and marco... It might take a little while to write a review on it though so I will probably post other blogs before then...

psychx, hmm ... i hope you come back and read this. anyway, i'm certain you once mentioned in a comment in my blog about a "relationship contract". i cannot find the comment now and i didn't know you well enough at the time to ask questions !. but i have wanted to ask you about it for the longest time, that is of course if it's not a private issue.

i hope you recall what i meant, as i think it would be a very interesting topic if you're agreeable ?. i will go and try and find that comment again, anyway. and i told marco you would post the review soon, btw

thanks,

Mig of course being a person who will not read a book unless she has two referrals Psych, hurry up and tell her it's good, the only book she's read that I have recommended is "One Hundred Years of Solitude", she has others that i lent her but she simply refuses to read them. And i DO want that review, i don't know anyone else who reads Delillo.

And to all who read this, i am in no way implying that Mig doesn't read. I've seen her hoarding closet (rather than a book shelf, a closet that is jammed with the things, i think it might have something to do with the principle of ever-fresh packaging, she wants to keep the smell of books in) and the scattered evidence around the house.
