Where'd the old content go? To SenseiGinsu. Hey, doing is learning... and I learned that I wasn't writing in VN's bloice. I also learned that I'm a person of two minds who needs two blogs to express himself. SenseiGinsu is the rational academic me; VN is... something else. :P

Some of you who know me well know that I've been frustrated by the lack of what I call "personas" in netspace. Some of you have even given me stinkeye because you think that personality is unitary whole backed by some crystal-worshiping nonsense about finding your "true self". So I say to you, *bleh* -and- if you really are just one version of yourself in all situations then you might need to think long and hard about how honest you're really being with yourself 'cause what I see is folks being different flavors of themselves in all kinds of situations. I've see it informally and I've seen in with the professional eye of an anthropologist. And I'm backed up by a bunch of social psych, sociology, and anthro lit.

Something else: at first, I worried a bit that folks might not "get"... take seriously... discount... pre-judge... dismiss... (dunno) my SenseiGinsu side if they saw the Nepharious side. Well, phunk that! is my thinking now. Once someone gives me a manual for living that I don't have to scrape off the bottom of my shoe, I'll consider trimming myself down to a one-size-fits-all personality. Until then, I'll be riffin' on life.

All hail, Nepharious and Ginsu! *lol*
