If my blog wasn't already named, Another Lousy Day in Paradise I would name it Narcissism on Parade.
I remember when Narcissism was almost cool. And although I'm not a narcissist, I was when I was in my twenties. I think it is a right of passage for every kid to come through that.
If I had more hair I'd be a narcissist. Maybe if I was rich I'd be one too. Then again, when you have kids... You kinda grow beyond all that. My operative word now is fun. Thanks to having children I'm more focused on enjoying life rather than seeing what I can bleed out of life.
OK, so perhaps naming my blog Narcissism on Parade doesn't fit me now, but if that is true then why did I consider the whole subject. Isn't that rather narcissistic?
That brings me to my favorite description of myself. A Paradox. I used to define myself as a Rugged Intellectual. This mean I considered myself mentally tough in a complex urban society. Isn't that funny? I think my life has been pretty good, but you'd be shocked to know I would change major things in it. I'll save that subject for another article.
