About Lucky Maverick About Jonathan Bales If you want to break the rules of grammar, first learn the rules of grammar. - Kurt Vonnegut I used to play this iPhone game called “Fun Run.” It’s sort of like Mario Kart in that you race and there are question mark things you can get that have weapons to kill your opponents (lightning, a bear trap thing, a sword, etc).
Another great post, much appreciated. Key point in the last section: not to be afraid of this kind of thinking when you're an adult, or more specifically, not to be afraid of how you're perceived for asking what could seem like a stupid question/taking what might be seen as the wrong route, etc. It often makes people judgmental and uncomfortable, but who cares?
