Someone once told me that I really wouldn't be who I am if I didn't have a healthy dose of what she called "restrained arrogance." Looking back, maybe she was right. I can, when in my element, be a complete bastard, and a cocky one at that. Even the people that know me the best wouldn't be able to tell that I spend most of my days reviewing and analyzing the past, trying to find glimpses of interest or wisdom from it. I've found that history repeats itself all too often in the arena of interpersonal relationships, so I might as well make use of my past and try to learn a few things from it.
Which, oddly, brings us to this post. I got to reviewing things while I was looking over my history of posts and felt like it was time for me to finally recognize the little gems I've had over time. The posts that actually meant something to me and were not random spills from my constantly leaky thought-faucet. I've made some rather scathing posts in the past, hopefully balanced by the occasionally useful bit of insight into human nature. Or this could all just be an exercise in arrogance and cockiness, whichever you prefer. Whatever the case, I've decided to waste a few minutes of my time looking up some of my favorite posts from the past, along with the ones that have garnered some measure of...reputation.
