Not a new thread on Tag Lines, but just saw the following as the middle paragraph of an About Me section:
"I’ve learned in life that you can't solve a problem on the same level that it was created. The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible. Finding opportunity is a matter of believing it’s there. Vision is the art of seeing the invisible." There's just no way that these are her original philosophies developed through years of life experience. The rest of the profile contains similar vague comments about her aspirations and desires, and none of them provide any useful information about her at all, except that she may be an unashamed plagiarist. Or maybe it just means she's seen too many Tony Robbins videos? I suppose it's better than the typical "Hey, hit me up if you have questions" we see all too often. If she had spent just a little more time thinking before writing.... Life is good The Cat
she is at a woke liberal college ... probably Wellesley or something where they think and talk like that. She's probably getting her PhD in 13th Century Irish Feminist Poetry.

Sokal Affair: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair "The Sokal affair, also called the Sokal hoax, was a demonstrative scholarly hoax performed by Alan Sokal, a physics professor at New York University and University College London. In 1996, Sokal submitted an article to Social Text, an academic journal of postmodern cultural studies. The submission was an experiment to test the journal's intellectual rigor, and specifically to investigate whether "a leading North American journal of cultural studies—whose editorial collective includes such luminaries as Fredric Jameson and Andrew Ross—[would] publish an article liberally salted with nonsense if (a) it sounded good and (b) it flattered the editors' ideological preconceptions.""
For me, it only proves that spending time with her outside of BCD would be like going to dinner where the only conversation would be to quote Chinese Fortune Cookie slips.
Me: So what are your ambitions after your get your degree? Her: The wise man ignores opportunity at risk of his own peril. Me: And is your family here in California? Her: Finding love requires being open to change. Me: I really like your eyes - so pretty. Her: The best of life can be found in the worst of times. Me: Would you like to order dessert? Her: 12-3-6-13-45-64-8... Sorry, wrong side... Every journey begins with a single step. Me: Do you want the last fortune cookie? Her: Oh, no thanks. I don't really like them.
Mr. Furious : Okay, am I the only one who finds these sayings just a little bit formulaic? "If you want to push something down, you have to pull it up. If you want to go left, you have to go right." It's...
The Sphinx : Your temper is very quick, my friend. But until you learn to master your rage...
Mr. Furious : ...your rage will become your master? That's what you were going to say. Right? Right?
A Buddhist monk strode into a Zen pizza parlor and said, "Make me one with everything." When he got his order, he gave the proprietor a $20 bill, which the guy pocketed. "Hey," asked the monk, "where's my change?" "Change," replied the owner inscrutably, "must come from within." . At least you know that somebody read your post. Ommmmmmmmmmm ....
