~impulse

The handle "impulse" was originated when I was younger, coming from the type of command block from Minecraft. "Impulse" is sort of the "main" type of command block. Eventually, the meaning switched to how I tended to not think before I acted.

I got better about that, but sometimes my emotions get the best of me.

I guess maybe I'm just not sure if I can truly become better, and it's become a self fulfilling prophecy.

In related news, friends brought us to a bowling alley this weekend that had a stand up "Namco" arcade console featuring several of their "retro" games from my day, my favorite being "Galaga", and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed rocking that thing at 25 cents per game. Got my initials thrice on the leader board, despite not having played in some 35+ years.

Emotions are for lesser genders. ;-)

(I hope you realize I'm kidding. I've this ancient-to-the-point-of-severely-embarrassing sense of humor, you see.)

Here's the thing about the self-referentiality of self evaluating self: it's all but a dream, so make the best of it (i.e. how you define the likes of "better" and/or "worse").
