Let's Overthink It: March 2010
http://letsoverthinkit.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
They'd map out roads through Hell with their crackpot theories." John Gardner in Grendel. Thursday, March 25, 2010. The Baby and the Bathwater. When you die the problems all go away, but then again so do the good bits. When things go terribly awry I guess you can console yourself that the bad parts are an inevitable companion to the good parts. Rejoice that you aren't dead, I guess. Here are the lyrics to my latest song about it. Sex, like perspective, is harder to get the more you need it.

Let's Overthink It: December 2009
http://letsoverthinkit.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
They'd map out roads through Hell with their crackpot theories." John Gardner in Grendel. Thursday, December 24, 2009. The Weeds in the Wheat. There's this idea of the weeds and the wheat, or the chaff and the grain, or the lambs and the goats. You've got good and bad mixed together. Part of you wants to pull out the bad stuff as early as possible. Watch out though, you can't remove one without risking destroying the other. So what do you do? You let them grow together and sort it out in the end. Hey, lo...

They'd map out roads through Hell with their crackpot theories." John Gardner in Grendel. Thursday, March 12, 2009. How Do You Know? How do you know something is true? I propose that most of the time we use two strategies. Do you french press it with 4 packets of sugar, grind it fresh and use a coffee maker, or just admit defeat and pick it up at Starbucks? Sometimes this is a ridiculous way to think. Me: Son, don't play in the street, you'll get run over. Important people are first class bullshitters...

Let's Overthink It: April 2009
http://letsoverthinkit.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
They'd map out roads through Hell with their crackpot theories." John Gardner in Grendel. Thursday, April 23, 2009. In my humble, objectively correct opinion, there are two solid ways to fix a friendship that went bad. Both are geared towards making whatever the problem was just not really matter that much any more. What were we fighting about? I'm not entirely sure, I think it had something to do with toaster settings. Who cares, we're friends again. 2 Do fun stuff together. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Let's Overthink It: What exactly is a crackpot theory?
http://letsoverthinkit.blogspot.com/2009/06/what-exactly-is-crackpot-theory.html
They'd map out roads through Hell with their crackpot theories." John Gardner in Grendel. Thursday, June 25, 2009. What exactly is a crackpot theory? I'll define a crackpot theory as:. An idea which makes you say, "Well that explains it.". An idea with a complete lack of testable evidence. Or, in other words, it doesn't really have a leg up on a completely different crackpot theory that explains it just as well. Both this blog and humanity are all about crackpot theories. Now go read my band's blog.

Let's Overthink It: Dumb Questions
http://letsoverthinkit.blogspot.com/2009/05/dumb-questions.html
They'd map out roads through Hell with their crackpot theories." John Gardner in Grendel. Thursday, May 21, 2009. There is absolutely such a thing as a dumb question. I want to smack lecturers who spout nonsense about there not being any dumb questions because they probably only encourage more dumb questions. Some day when I'm in charge, I'm going to call out the dumb questions and compliment the good ones. Questions with the objective of pointing out how smart you are. Questions that aren't questions.

Let's Overthink It: September 2012
http://letsoverthinkit.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
They'd map out roads through Hell with their crackpot theories." John Gardner in Grendel. Monday, September 10, 2012. Why it's probably OK to say "black people" on a beach. This is going to feel forehead-smackingly obvious when I say it out loud. They're interesting. Colorblindness, in other words, is a crock of shit. Rather, learn to really listen to anybody, and have compassion for them. Ask a sincere question or two, pay attention to what they say, have a sense of humor, and vote humanely. OK, let's d...

Let's Overthink It: The Point of Most Things
http://letsoverthinkit.blogspot.com/2009/06/point-of-most-things.html
They'd map out roads through Hell with their crackpot theories." John Gardner in Grendel. Wednesday, June 3, 2009. The Point of Most Things. The point of most things is to enjoy them. Friendships, family, hobbies, projects, marriage, and so on. That's even a pretty decent take on the meaning of life. I'll admit that sounds a little hedonistic and selfish on first pass, but hear me out. My best friends are the ones who really enjoy my friendship. June 3, 2009 at 7:02 PM. Im with you 100%. And although I c...
