Note to Shawn...

Of course you can change your mind with the mind you've got! The current state of our brains is the only tool we possess! Use it or you're doomed to stagnation! Or death or inertia or langour or lethargy! It's called growth. And the only place you can start from is here. With what you've got. That lyric, that line that you so often employ has always irritated me, and just now I finally figured out why! It's an excuse, a deflection, a distraction. Lameness couched in clever. Stasis hiding in pithiness. Fear disguised as novelty. Using your mind to change the mind you've got is the path to your potential. Use it or lose it.

Who is this Shawn that you're yelling at? Geez. Don't let it get to you.

Just venting. Pardon me. I feel much better now.
