  • That’s Not Me

    …actually means “that is not a me that I necessarily want to project.”  Anytime anyone tells you that “that’s not me,” don’t argue with them.  The theory is that they have switched to one of their other dialogical selves.  Although their logic doesn’t make sense, the fact that they did…

  • Identity Projection

    I have written about identity projections.  You can do a search on my blog for it and a few posts show up.  I’ve talked about it in posts, but I’ve never written a post about it. I have used this idea of identity projection to represent the Jamesian me.  A…

  • Cell Phone Me

    First of all, the “me” that I’m talking about can be explained as the Jamesian Me.  It is one of my “me’s” that “I” has created – a self that reflects “I.”  Lem Usita didn’t come up with this, William James did. Let me tell you a little bit about…
