Pook a post request
For my own sake, and my own reminder, I'm extracting my posts into another format. I would like to put Pook on the shelf... literally and figuratively.
If you have been here a while, you should do a search on yourself and put all your words into a file just to see how large that file is. For example, the replies, not the post, but just my replies in the 'Kill That Desperation' thread easily exceeds 50 pages single space. I'm just estimating but I imagine the entire thing, when put together, could be four hundred pages or more. It's a freeking e-book!
If anyone cares, I can upload it somewhere where it can be downloaded.
My only problem has been extracting the old discussion posts, as many have vanished with time and others have fallen through electronic cracks. Even then, some of the replies are so lacking in detail that I feel like I should add something to it.
Just have two questions,
1) Is there any old discussion reply I've done that you think needs more elaboration? Like I can find only a couple of posts on the "taken girls wanted to be stolen" syndrome that begs to be summed up in one post.
2) Since this is my last hurrah, is there any thing you want me to post about? There is one thing i've been thinking about, which may come in handy in our global age, is differences of women due to world geography. No personal posts to you or about me. Something we all could use. (Don't priv msg it to me, as I won't recieve it. Just post it here.)
I've been procrastating wildly this past year with this site. Did you know I've only done four posts this entire year? Four! And looking back, reading all the spilled verbage of someone trying to make sense of the insanity around him, I don't like any of the posts. I reread them with a fond memory, remembering when the idea was 'new' and 'revolutionary' to me. "Be the prize to be won." "Be a man." "Secret of the Jerk." Remember the feeling you had when you were an adult and looked back in your youth to see some 'great' paper you wrote when you were, say, ten years old? You think, "Man, I certainly didn't know much then!" The only posts I reread with interest are the ones I haven't put out yet, especially the last four (Cool Guy's Lessons).
So if you have any suggestions for 1) or 2), let me hear them.
