By the way, polyamory is an incorrect term, it turns out.

The term should be either multiamory or polyphilia.

Mixing latin and greek roots is wrong, so they say.

Pavlina swings between good ideas and real doozies. He is (one of ) the reason(s) why I am embarking upon my own business. (Ten Reasons to never have a job is a good one). Never saw Semi-Tough… although I always heard good things about EST. I’ll have to see if I can get a copy of it to watch.

I like the comments although if anything it cements what a horrible writer I am because more often than not I read the comment and I think, OK, I clearly didn’t get the point across that I was attempting.

That’s the weird thing about personal blogs. They’re more “real” than a soap opera because the “actors” are real people. And if they have comments, the “dialogue” serves as a proxy relationship. Which is why it’s probably best not to comment…

Stray thoughts about this Pavlina person…

I casually perused his website and have the impression that he leans secular humanist. A person has to “graduate from Christianity”? But I do like his
Ten Reasons To Never Have A Job.

Does Pavlina operate sweat lodges in Arizona?

Have you ever seen the movie “Semi-Tough”? The self-improvement racket has been around for decades…this
Burt Reynolds movie is worth renting just for the EST parody by Bert Convy (and as a bonus, I appear in a crowd scene with about 20,000 “extras”).
