Something Completely Different? Maybe Not That Different
Wil Wheaton gave us a roller coaster ride of a blog post on Monday of this week. I enjoyed it for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was the realization that no matter how different we all are in life, we're often more alike than we are different. He and I grew up in different times, in different places, in different generations. His first-person writing contains a whole lot more slang and profanity than mine usually does, and we generally cover very different aspects of life. But I loved the way that particular post of his covered his activities that day with a sort of "best of times, worst of times" view in which anxiety, dread, frustration and fear all got mixed in with a dose of the zest for living that makes each of us keep going for another round of whatever the next day has to offer.
