On confidence
Posted in Uncategorized on December 2, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I was talking the nurture/nature debate with one of my friends (my date!) the other night before ART FEST. As with most things, I’m a fence sitter on this one. He pointed out that fence-sitting out of fear is a great post-modern way to say nothing because postmodernism has taught us, if nothing else, that [...]
