I Think. I Am. I Will.

EGO.

I happened upon Ayn Rand's "Anthem" during my ACT Strategy course. The complete elimination of the word "I" from the English Language made it a lot like tasting something you can't quite put your thumb on - I had to roll "Our head hurt" over my tongue a few times to decide if I liked it, and I did.

The rising pride and mounting outrage for "We" started sending what remain of Atlas Shrugged coursing through my veins, and then I kicked in the door of my home, having finished the book, and said it to myself a few times:

I Think. I Am. I Will.

I Will It.

Ego.

It sounds good - like Captain John Yossarian's name. I like saying it to myself.
It's a little Mantra or something, and I hope I don't tire of hearing it, when I start my day out whispering it over the pot of coffee and Walk The Dinosaur that usually start my day.

I hope it helps me balance work with the Steam I tend to be overwhelmed in...
I didn't even tell Eiki goodnight...

Watch regret wake me up at 4:30.
