mediated

i heard the author on npr and went out and bought the book.

what a fascinating book.

excerpt :

"So what's taking us so long to grow up? Well, there is so much more to absorb -- that's just a brute fact, as noted -- but there are also so many different ways to be, so many different lifestyles, so , many different versions of the world. Haunted by the possiblity of buyer's remorse, we dawdle on the brink, trying this, trying that."
-- Thomas De Zengotita, "Mediated"

hfs, jfc. that's me. dawdling on the brink and never making any major decisions, scared to death of "buyer's remorse".

i'm just in the first quarter of the book. it gets better.
