Wisdom from Paul Shirley

Why do I seem to always convey personal thoughts about my own psyche via quotes from writers of questionable literary ability?

Meh...fuck it. I don't care. This is from Paul Shirley the one-time NBA player of benchwarmer blog fame. It would seem he's starting a TV show soon, based loosely on his own career...but anyway, in his most recent Journal Entry (titled "My So-Called Career"), he says the following, which I think applies to me, too:

"One of the more annoying aspects of the experience of knowing me is my constant need to talk about anything that is bothering me. It's a somewhat girlish trait; apparently the common 'man' bottles his feelings, later turning to regular beatings of his wife as an outlet for his angst. Not me -- I have to get everything out in the open, often to my own detriment."

I love that line..."the experience of knowing me"...haha..... :)
