I was there Jacob, right on the front line.
But I'm not trying to peddle my goods, nor am I saying I'm the end all beat all knowledge.
I ask, I make mistakes, I learn. Then I start all over again.
Well I guess the way I look at is: there's a lot of things in life to get your guts in a knot over. Anything that happens here is extremely small potatoes and really isn't worth much energy in terms of getting upset. I can't be bothered by chest-beating on the internet or even at most GTGs.
On a related note- the latest issue of Men's Health documents a study in which 1400 college-age women rated pictures of men on attractiveness. Those with the lowest tested levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) were overwhelmingly rated most attractive.
