  • Twitter and Identity

    Have you ever heard of personality leakage or identity seepage. Spend some time checking out another’s Twitter stream and it is overflowing with identity seepage.

  • Pluralistic Attitudes

    I have been reading all weekend.  I’ve done some reading in leadership, but most of my reading has been for my dissertation – so I’ve been reading on Identity and the theoretical constructs for identity and self.  Many of these researchers write about identity and self – making bold claims…

  • Search For Silent Space

    I was listening to a guy talk today about how it was impossible to find Silent Spaces.  He lives in a huge urban area, and he was talking about how impossible the pursuit was for silent space. I don’t know if you need silent space, but there is a reflection…

  • What Your Space Says About Your Identity

    I’ve posted about how your photo can say something about your identity. I just read an article that talks about how the physical space that you inhabit – your bedroom is the canvas for identity projection or identity dump.  You can’t help it, but the paint on your walls, the…

  • Your Identity

    There are so many facets to your identity.  There are some deep, deep “essence” type stuff that makes up your true identity.  The metaphysical and ontological versions of you.   There are definitely those aspects of who you are, but typically when I talk about identity, I tend to talk more…

  • Identity Watching

    Okay, so maybe it’s just people watching.  I’m sitting at a table with a complete stranger sitting across from me chomping on his sandwich and shoveling his fries into his face.  It’s as intimate as 2 strangers can get – without really saying anything to each other.  He is looking…

    The Grammy’s just started, but I don’t want to watch it live.  I want to watch it later when I can fly through the commercials.  Are you doing the same thing?  Or did you watch it with the commercials? I realize that I the DVR has conditioned me to not…

  • Song Meaning Websites

    Have you ever checked them out?  They’re pretty interesting – websites set up to allow individuals to post what they think is the meaning of particular songs.  It’s just an organized way for anyone to randomly put their own meanings to songs that they did not write.  I found it…

  • Inconsistent Selves

    It is theoretically possible to have inconsistent selves.  Have you ever had anyone tell you that your thinking or your ideas are inconsitent – they’re not logical – or they don’t make sense?  Next time someone says that to you – tell them – “Yeah, it is inconsistent.  What’s your…
