100%, thanks. There is more than one way to skin the old meow meow. Getting over myself enough to realize that was the big take away from all this.

I hadn't thought of it that way, but you raise a good point. At what point are people enabling you and at what point are you just being prideful (if you take it or not). Obviously you have to have some discretion, but I've always struggled

I spent the few months doing what I described in the post - pretending it didn't happen. It's amazing what you can convince yourself of. When I finally decided I was being an idiot, I started to focus on finding a job. It was way harder tha

I don't watch enough TV to get the reference. I bet it was funny though, given the context. Thanks for checking out the post.

This especially hits home with me, since I've gotten trophies and awards for pretty much anything I've ever done (including in college). Until I hit the 'real world' and realized that even though I was talented and had a lot going for me, i

I didn't mean to belittle failure - for sure it has value. I just think there is more value in working through it - that is to say, you don't need to fail entirely to see the message. Without getting too esoteric or semantic, failing and fa

Why force the email? Sounds very interesting, but I'm not invested enough to give you that much yet.

Not that I don't believe you, but really? For example, any website I've built I can surely make with just a text editor but I'll lay it out with ps first. That way I can go back and check what colors / gradients / dimensions I used to speed
