Perhaps your life experiences absolved to be as such.

Separated from wife in 2011; reunited one month later

Wasting hours of my life on Transformers 2-3, 'The Time Machine' with Guy Pearce, 'Lockout' (again with Guy Pearce), most of 'Lost' without ever seeing the finale which will probably be a letdown, and lots of '80s cartoons that, as it turns out, are quite boring.

Having a heck of a lot more than 10 movies and never being able to watch them all--even better

Joining forces with my archnemesis Christoph and fighting the Watchtower at the Battle of the High Command

...Aw, yeah. TMI, baby. Way TMI...

Terry

Thanks for honest and detailed responses!!

What surprises me is that you've been through a lot in your life Terry and yet your such a clear intelligent rational thinker.

Perhaps your life experiences absolved to be as such.

Well, thanks. But, life kept smacking me in my delusions and waking me up and I kept resisting until I could resist no more.

Once you give up mystical thinking and wishful thinking and delusions the only thing left is to try and be rational.

So, I'm stuck in "default" position now:)

Thanks for your transparency Terry, however, I dont use Facebook any more, as I consider it a spying machine.

I Apologize for the paranoia.

Shalom
