I lash out a lot
It's not something that I'm proud of, infact, it's downright embarrassing. Intellectually, I'm a pacifist, and that's how I strive to live my life, however, there's an awful lot of anger in me and that anger manifests itself in potentially violent outburst, mostly directed at inanimate objects. Have a look at our living room floorboard, should you doubt my sincerity in any of this - I nearly jumped a hole straight through to the basement as I argued with one of the utility drones on the phone.
Anyhow, Laura and I were discussing this somewhat earlier. Well, truth be told, we were discussing matters at hand, and my anger and frustration were seeping though. The entire conversation was taking place via email, mostly because we were both at work, and shouldn't have been having that conversation, either by voice or by email, but alas, it seemed to be the most pressing matter in the world, at that particular moment, so I pressed forward. I'm sure Laura was not thrilled.
Gmail has this interesting, I use that term loosely, feature that picks up key words within your correspondence and in turn, offers up sponsored links. This 'gem' popped up, brought to us by the fine people at peace - of - mind: "Desperate? See how you can save a hopeless situation. peace - of - mind.net
It's all a bit loopy, but hey, is gmail trying to tell me something?

yeah, i'm not sure peace-of-mind.net is the answer, but i'm really proud of you for writing about it.
mwah
My husband has sponsored Google links on his site and every time he writes something new on the blog he gets stuff related to his thoughts. Currently they're pretty benign, but there have been a few recently that made me embarrassed my mom reads it.
I have anger issues as well. I think these are considered to be a lot more acceptable in men than women. I lash out verbally because I feel like it's the only moderately acceptable way to do it...when I would probably prefer to go beat the crap out of somebody or something. So far in my life I have only physically hurt two people. I slapped my ex boyfriend when I found out he was dumping me for the girl he cheated on me with, and I slapped another boy in high school when he said something really rude to me that I can't even remember now. I don't think that's too bad. But in my mind I punch people all the time. :)
Google is going to take over the world. I am totally convinced that once they "index" the universe they will steal it all and hold it ransom until the world bends to it's evil plans... uh... or not.
That gmail is pretty handy though. (see brainwashed already)
Well, google's got me figured out, just like that - so I better get behind them now, while I can still save myself.
i have this co-worker about whom i frequently have those disconnects like in the movies - i see myself reaching across the meeting table and strangling her, all the while i'm really sitting calmly and nodding.
