"not i", said the fox

it really is very hard to not talk about yourself...

i mean, for one thing, the very essence of blogging lies in one's own narcissitic desire to make known to the world the presence of the "me", or at the very least to show the world 'the world' through the eyes of the "I".

i read somewhere that you should always start your resume with "you" or "your" and never, ever, with "I". look at your own resume right now and tell me honestly you didn't do it. i dare you.

now try re-writing it so that it starts with "you" or "your" without making it sound cheesy or butt-kissy... and you're in for one looong night i promise you...

already in this article i made mention of myself almost twice as much as i did you... and even then, its always "I" before "you" except after... well, "I".

go out and try it, ask anyone any question about anything and record how many times he or she answers with "I think..." or "Hmm... I never thought about that..." or makes reference to himself or herself even to the most far removed questions like, "Is Saddam gay?" or "Why are there hundreds of species of dogs and cats yet no one can accept the fact that humans beings might be similarly classified?"

whats the point of all this you ask?
