I am …<\/i> Mercurial
\nI think …<\/i> constantly
\nI know …<\/i> a little bit about a lot of things
\nI want …<\/i> to understand
\nI have …<\/i> not alot, but more than I need
\nI wish …<\/i> for a better tomorrow
\nI hate …<\/i> it when some one is absolutely confident, and totally wrong
\nI miss …<\/i> what I’m aiming at if I don’t really care
\nI fear …<\/i> loneliness and discord
\nI hear …<\/i> the patter of my fingers on the keyboard, particularly the backspace key
\nI wonder …<\/i> what we might have missed
\nI regret …<\/i> the harm that I’ve caused and the things I have not tried out of fear
\nI love …<\/i> to play, with words, ideas, bodies, board games, and others
\nI ache …<\/i> At the memory of my mistakes
\nI care …<\/i> about everyone
\nI always …<\/i> decry the use of absolutes
\nI am not …<\/i> as erratic as I might seem
\nI dance …<\/i> when the mood strikes me, and I am comfortable with the people watching
\nI sing …<\/i> when there are 20 guys around me singing (or at least trying to sing) the same note.
\nI cried …<\/i> in front of three people over the past decade.
\nI do not always …<\/i> see as far ahead as I would like
\nI fight …<\/i> only after all other options are exhausted, and I see it having a positive impact.
\nI write …<\/i> sporadically
\nI win …<\/i> from time to time
\nI lose …<\/i> graciously
\nI confuse …<\/i> people who don’t understand
\nI listen …<\/i> to what everyone has to say, then I do what I think is best
\nI can usually be found …<\/i> in a pose of reflection
\nI need …<\/i> people, and solitude, peace and stimulation, all in their time, and all in their measure
\nI am happy about …<\/i> the state of my life at this moment. Not exactly where I want to be for all time, but good enough for now.
\nI should …<\/i> get my ass to gmhc training, pronto<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheerfulchaotic.crazycrew.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
