maybe some things i'll say will amount to a post

young baseball pitchers hurt their arms nowadays because they try too hard to be good. what they need to do is stay in the minor leagues so that they can continue to experience success while learning HOW to become a pitcher that can get outs at the major league level. if you throw them in there right away they will try harder the only way they know how. not by thinking more clearly and taking each hitter as an individual with individual strengths and weaknesses but by throwing out his arm even while it throbs with pain. they want to succeed so badly. but it takes time, even for great ones.

so many moods have passed since i last posted. i think i need to carry around one of those old-fashioned tape recorders...

pre-post quick-editor says: you've proven your title wrong, your subject is of little interest to your subject audience, you played your meaning and how it relates to you too subtely, people probably get the humor about the tape recorder what with all the talk lately about the all-appeasing convenience of the internet but how it still isn't a mind recorder and you can't always be around it.
