Give us Your Best Line, and then Give Us a Break. I am thankful because I got some really good advice recently about my blog. [Please hit me back and let me know, dear reader, if you catch the difference]. I’m all about giving props for well-considered advice. Yes, for the most part advice can be self-serving, but if you simply take what you can use and discard the rest, you will benefit in ways that you can’t ever imagine. For me, it’s not so much about having someone tell me what to do, as it is in asking someone…. [ Read More ]
ithinkyoushould. ”Stop Saying Sex-Addict Like It’s a Bad Thing” That’s a gift from Bill Maher. And I don’t know about you, but reading the news gets me excited. It’s like I don’t know where to begin, or what to read first, and then what to do with the news I just read. This is a huge part of the reason I started my blog. I needed an outlet for the things that I saw, read, heard, and inadvertently came across in the mass culture.

The gory details he tells us are reserved for him and his family. But I think he just doesn’t get it….. [ Read More ]
ithinkyoushould. Know that Tiger don’t Play That. I would absolutely forgive you for caving to cultural peer pressure if you watched the “Something about Nothing” TW press conference the other night. I would also forgive you if you were unable to restrain yourself from committing an act of violence against your flatscreen TV in the process. This is how I felt. A few mornings prior to the conference, I listened to the CBC Morning 2 Drive as was my usual habit. When they broke for the news, the Tiger Woods conference was reported as headline news amidst other top news…. [ Read More ]
Ithinkyoushould. Re-evaluate your Mentors. In a Season of crashing institutions: financial, social, and psychological, I think it’s time to re-evaluate your Mentors. Consider what you truly value and then go for the gusto. The Tiger Woods thing has brought the seemingly extraordinary crashing into the ordinary. And, previously, while we may have always disliked a certain thing about him as a “person” we were quick to forgive and forget any social lapses in professional sportsmanlike conduct because he was such a great golfer. Soon after his fall, however, we would all learn that he too was “human.” Except that his…. [ Read More ]
