hmm okay that is a valid question. i guess you are going to make this brain of mine actually turn on and start to work for a change.. damn well it was a lovely vacation while it lastedAsk around... I'm nearly always serious.
I asked the question specifically because it was "just a stupid essay" you were asked to write in a very limited amount of time. The cool thing about those fast, stream-of-consciousness essays, is that they can be a very honest reflection of core beliefs.
So, given that I tend to take things rather seriously, my first thought upon reading your "stupid essay" was to wonder if that was how you still view submission, or if your opinions/views have changed at all. Regardless, if someone close to you expressed similar beliefs, what would your reaction be?
