To expand on this just a bit:
I know a million things. There are many more things that I do not know. One of the things I don’t know is: How many of the things I think I know do I really know? It gets worse. There are things that I do know that I don’t think I know. There are things that I don’t think I know that I do know. Included in the things that I think I know that I really don’t, are a number of things that I don’t even know I don’t know. This, now, is where it gets tricky. What do I not know that I really do know but won’t admit? And of those things that I won’t admit I know, what do I really know? Because there are a lot of things that I think I know that it turns out that not only did I not know them, I didn’t even know that I didn’t know them. I don’t know if I can handle any more of this sort of introspection. Really not much can come of it. All I know is that there is a whole bunch that I don’t know and even more that I don’t know I don’t know. What gets me though, are the things that I know I know that I wish I didn’t know. Those are the worst.

deal with it
The longer I’m here – here being Earth, not the ‘net – the more I realize that being funny, laughing, is about the best thing there is. There are some people out there that get this and many people that don’t. I spend a huge hunka buncha time every day being funny. And not just
Something Totally Sketchy
And then, something totally sketchy happens and what you thought you didn’t know you think you might have known and some other things you thought you didn’t know you think that you might know for sure but some other things that you don’t know if you know or don’t know you realize you might know.
What Do I Know?
Did you ever think you totally knew something and then – suddenly – felt like possibly you had absolutely no clue about whatever it was that you thought you knew? Yeah. I feel like that sometimes. Like now for instance.
Jealousy
While driving to work this morning I decided – no, not really … I realized – that I am not jealous of anyone else on the planet. I’ve never seriously wanted to be anyone but me. (Well except for that period when I totally wanted to be Captain Caveman. But that doesn’t count.)
