The fact that you thought about whether or not it was a mindcrush experience is enough for me. Thanks for being here David

I recently found your blog and enjoy your writing and content. I don't know if it's a mindcrush experience…but still glad I was led this way. Keep up the great writing.

Don't you just hate clueless boys? (heavy sigh)

I want to apologize on behalf of my gender. We were just bred dumb.

Keep dropping hints though. Perhaps your fish will bite and catch on…hopefully soon.

Yes. What D just said. Those people DO show you pieces of yourself. Absolutely. And I love Jamie's “mindwhore” term.

I don't think Mari would actually spear you - but then again, I may be wrong. Better safe than sorry, yes?

"I think people out there saying things the way you'd like to have said them, or writing in ways you'd like to have written, or doing things you'd like to be doing...those people are people to know."

There are a lot of people in our little circle here that always seem to be one step ahead of me. Like they comment and I'm thinking "ZOMGWTFBBQ that's exactly what I was going to say next!" Those are the people that make me get out of bed and go to the networking things here. Those are the people I search for on the "attending" list on eventbrite or whatever.

Everyone who has commented on this post is one of those people.

There are some regular people here that when I get the notification email telling me they commented - I get super-pumped to read what they had to say. I know Jamie will have something hilarious to add. I know Tim Jahn will probably play devils advocate and make me think of the subject in a whole new light. I know that your comment will be the one that makes me incredibly happy yet undeniably frustrated that you're always a step ahead.

We were talking earlier and you asked why everyone thinks that there was one person that I wrote this post about. Maybe, maybe not. Okay probably. Point of the whole thing is - you're right, Jamie's right, everyone's right - it's all relative. And whether or not my call to action was directed at one person or to anyone who reads this shit isn't all that relevant. At the end of the day - I want to be friends with the people I want to have mind babies with. So let's all be friends. And hang out. For real.
