i'm trying to be nice but...

one, i have heard of metaphors and similes. and my point is that the metaphors and similes chosen by the founders "to gain a better understanding of the meaning of each one of those poses" are so silly that it is often difficult to perform those poses with a straight face. not unlike the decision of a & w executives to label their menu staples with names like "grandpa burger" and "cheddar bacon uncle burger" and "baby burger with cheese." love the burger. hate the name. that said, the entire piece was obviously written tongue-in-cheek (as is yours, i assume), so why anyone would be put off by my critique is beyond me.

two, i'm not really sure how you made the giant leap from biographies to g-d, although i assume (there's that word again) it has something to do with my use of the term "deify' in the entry. that said, my point is that i didn't pay $109 for 8 one-hour classes only to hear some nut rave about some other nut who made the move from the himalayas to hollister country. no, i paid $109 to experience excruciating pain in my lower back and thighs once a week. oh, and why do you imply that i'm not interested in "who" created us? because i am. all you had to do was ask.

three, i agree that bluntness can be detrimental at times in the world of business. but it can also be beneficial at times, as well. it all depends on where and when and how it is used. that said, my conversation with that woman hardly qualifies as "business." and i can assure you that i certainly know where and when and how to employ bluntness as opposed to, say, tact and diplomacy.

four, try humility.

the irony is in her name, but add a "y" just so there's no misunderstanding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABYnqp-bxvg

  1. try humility? When you say it is hardly "business", do you think the judgment qualifies as an explanation for the point your trying to prove. Honestly, I don't even know what your trying to prove in this blog right now. The blog itself is very well worded and organized but the context within it could be argued with very easily. The things they do is just business. They aren't in it to please you, they just want to please your money. Also, about your comment on your 109$. They do so because I am "assuming" it is part of the program. Got a problem with it, complain. Don't get me wrong, I love your opinion and your blogs but there are just some things i don't agree with. People do what they are asked to do to get paid. Nothing More, Nothing Less.
