  • D. I. D.

    Dissociative Identity Disorder. I am watching a show about a woman that has 15 personalities.  This lady has 15 “alters” that have taken over her.  Paula has so many personalities and there is a certain amnesia that happens when one of the “alters” comes through. The work that she is…

  • Manute Bol and Identity

    The 7 foot 7 NBA player died today.  He spent 10 seasons in the NBA.  Even though he was tall, he didn’t have much of an offense.  He could block shots, and kinda got pushed around by other players despite his height.  Although his identity was in the fact that…

  • The Semiotics of Clothes 3

    What are these girls trying to say with these clothes?  What does it say about them?  What does it say about their identity? If you did a search for Gyaru you can read more about it.  It was just interesting to think what the psychology is of wearing this type…

  • Dekotora or Decotora

    If there was ever an identity marker that was just so obvious that you just can’t deny it – it would be Dekotora.  They are tricked out trucks from Japan and the Philippines (of course filipinos would be in the middle of it).  I just heard about it today and…

  • FIFA and Identity

    It really doesn’t take long in any FIFA related conversation to see and hear one’s national sense of identity come through.  One of the sushi chef’s at last night’s dinner is cheering for his country – Mexico and to him there is no question that they will win.  One of…

  • Identity Features You Can’t Control

    There are core identity features that you just cannot control. – What family you were born into. – Whether you were the youngest or the oldest. – The fact that you had to take care of your siblings – so you are now a nurturer. There’s tons of them.  And…

  • iPhone Hospital

    Have you ever head of such a thing?  I was on a plane last week on the way to Orlando, and the iPhone4 was just announced so everyone was talking about it.  It’s also that “go to” topic that people who are just meeting each other talk about. Anyway, someone…

  • Be Unique, But Belong 2

    The original Be Unique, But Belong post that I wrote is here. I just went to a huge convention.  I was told that there were 20,000 people at this conference.  There was an exhibit hall and for the most part – nonstop speakers.  It was truly one of the largest…

  • Emotionally Frozen 2

    I wrote about this awhile ago – here‘s the post.  I talk about how when someone is emotionally frozen that it is that thing that prevents identity formation from happening.  It was an interesting idea when I wrote it, but I have checked my stats and there have been a…

  • Faking ADHD

    I just read an article on how you can Fake ADHD – check it here. The thing is we are being bombarded by 10 second spots and 10 minute youtube videos.  We may not need the drugs to chill us out – but before this condition was created ———- I…

  • We Call It a Disorder

    …. but it’s so not.  It kinda bothers me that we call it a disorder. So we think we understand human developmental processes.  The Industrial Revolution has mechanized the human and has declared all of these processes normal.  Then when something is different than that, it’s a disorder. Then a…

  • Does Your Email Reflect Your Computer Skills?

    I got this picture a few days ago from google.com/reader/play.  The image says it all.  What does it say about you?
