Great topic for a post Sent!

I'm normally incredibly opinionated but typically I hold back unless I'm around friends who get the whole hardheaded ******* vibe.

Nice post, Sent. Good things to think about, for sure.

By the way, I know I'm one of those with strong opinions. But what others don't realize is how much I self censor. If I wrote what I really think sometimes, I think people would be absolutely shocked.

* HoffmanMyster wonders what JD really thinks about him...

I think the takeaway out of all this is right here, honestly. People just need to think. It's really not that hard but laziness and egos tend to get in the way. I know I've misspoke enough times in my life.

That reminds me of the avatar size drama that got me insane kinds of hate.
As someone with pretty strong opinions I often get myself into pickles on forums (and IRL) and rub people the wrong way.
I think I need to work on my vocabulary a little more so some of my 'debates' seem less like personal attacks, as I make the common mistake that you can't really read banter as banter unless you really know the person.

And I think it's important to befriend and surround yourself with people who have differing opinions to you and are able to argue there point, helps you see the bigger picture.

Interesting and very relevant post Sent. I like it very much, for someone who is not very strongly opinionated, I can see how some people on this forum can seem hard-asses however as you stay here longer and understand them better, you'll know how nice they really are.

Lol, that's an article I really want to get right as far as the details and history goes. Basically, that means it's more work and I've been a bit swamped with life. That entry is still coming just not right away, perhaps. Same goes for the GB discussion between Bunny and I.

I enjoyed this interview! I can relate with the birds, my grandmother and grandfather have like 19 birds, and I think 4 or 5 dogs. I honestly don't know how you live with that many birds, whenever we go over, it is constant squawking unless they put the blankets over them. She has 1 or 2 birds that I like, other than that I am scared of them biting me.

PunksDead · « **Reply #566 on:** Mon, 02 March 2015, 17:23:12 »

I just finished listening, Binge we should talk about birds sometime, my grandpa has been raising and breeding birds for years. He has more than a hundred in a giant wick building. He mostly breeds Lovebirds, looking for new colors, blues, purples and such. But he also works with a ton of Parrots, Cockatoos, Cockatiels, Macaws, and a ton of small birds that I could never name.

Yeah, sorry I've been really quiet. Since I last talked to Bunny, thing's sort of took another turn for the worst. You know the saying, "When it rains, it pours." Really sorry I just went MIA. I haven't even logged into Geekhack in days. I'm scrambling to recover so hopefully I'll have an entry up this coming Monday.

hey guys, sorry to announce the blogs from sent are on hold for the time being

as posted above, he has been going through a lot of personal stuff, on top of that his dissertation for his masters is due at the end of this month, because of whats going on with him right now, all of his focus and motivation is towards completing that, so his entries should be on hold until at least may

if anyone would be interested in writing some guest entries, please contact me via PM

Joey Quinn · « **Reply #584 on:** Tue, 07 April 2015, 13:24:05 »

Thanks for the update bunny. It sounds like sent is making the right choice. He should focus on life before keyboards, I'm sure everyone will agree with that.

I got some stuff cleared off my plate and lately I've had the itch to write and start chatting/interviewing GH people again. I'll be touching base with Bunny about some thoughts and hopefully start posting entries again soon. As an aside, I really appreciate those that reached out to me when I was MIA. I heard a few of you also asked about me at Keycon and were concerned. It means a lot.
