I don't even know what to say. That's one of the most incredible things anyone's ever told me. "Role model!" That's crazy to me. hahah :) Thank you for that. Yeah, the 'no relationship' thing is proving to be a bit of a bitch. I've started to chill the fuck out about that and at least be open to it, if not actively pursuing it. :P Oh yeah man, Pavlina is the shit. I need to read a lot more of him. Just somehow never got around to it. I will always love beer. Come visit Austin sometime and we'll have a few. :) Thanks for the comments, man, I really love hearing this stuff. NoSeRider, I don't think I'm Borderline or Bipolar, just a really aggressive self-improver. :) I like being hypervigilant, some of the time! Anonymous, thank you for posting that. That means a lot to me. Pete, wow. I don’t even know what to say. That’s one of the most incredible things anyone’s ever told me. “Role model!” That’s crazy to me. hahah :) Thank you for that.

I love you! ;) When I discovered your blog two or three years ago, I kind of was at rock bottom myself and you quickly turned into a role-model for me, because you did what you loved for a living ... which is rare. Now being 21, I learned alot about life and ended up with the "Phoenix" mentality aswell and myself as the perfect role model for me. ;) I just wanted to say thanks for your blog. Also it's great to see that there are more people out there, who are courageous enough to keep growing their entire life. :) Well, not much to say about that post, except: you know, it'll work out. ;) Everybody get's what he deserves. But you better cut out that "no relationship" thing. Don't avoid chances to grow! Unless you wanna end up in a convenience marriage. :D "until death do us part!" Aaand, you absolutely must have a look at Steve Pavlina's blog ... no choice, dude! Your post immediately reminded me of this one: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/07/how-to-get-from-a-7-to-a-10/ Pretty long comment, but I had to do it. And I still want to drink a beer with you, if I ever end up in Austin, so don't become anti-alcoholic! ;) Greetings from Germany! Keep going! Oh boy!

I love you! ;)

I figure, if I'm gonna be a little fucked up and all over the place, I should at least be interesting. ;) Thanks GB! Phoenix indeed... glad you said it or I'd sound too X-Men. Cheers. :) Thanks, Jess, I really appreciate you saying that. I figure, if I’m gonna be a little fucked up and all over the place, I should at least be interesting. ;)

I'm sorry things got so bad. But, one of the things I admire about you is that you're so ready to make huge changes in your life and see what the hell happens. You've already done more things, lived in more different ways than a lot of people do in their lives. I knew some of this, but I had no idea how bad it had got. I’m sorry things got so bad.
