Vietnamese Noodle soup for me, not sure what Roy had.  We got into a discussion about health care and I became quite animated, as I do with most things.  I am not angry, truly, even though I know it comes across that way to many people.  Roy ended the conversation because he sensed himself become agree after I said, &#8220;shut up and let me finish.&#8221;  I don&#8217;t remember saying the &#8220;shut up&#8221; part, but I could well have.  If so, I don&#8217;t blame him for ending the conversation.<br \/>\nTo me, it was just a conversation\/debate, and nothing more.  I think it is fun (I know, I&#8217;m strange) to get into passion conversations about things.  Those kinds of conversations help me to work through things and clarify what I truly think.  If I did tell Roy to, &#8220;shut up,&#8221; then I went too far, yet to me they aren&#8217;t real arguments in the sense that one walks away angry and frustrated.<br \/>\nI know I need to watch myself more because many people do think I am getting angry and confrontation, when that is not my intent.  I especially have to watch myself when I am in a public place &#8211; me getting animated and passionate about something is going to cause others to think I am yelling at Roy (or whomever) and misunderstand.  I just need to control my enthusiasm\/passion\/lets debate for the sake of debate tendencies.<br \/>\nI\u00e7\u0178\u00a5 going to be heading off to N.J. and Ashton\u00e7\u2014\u00b4 soon.  Christmas is around the corner and my plane leaves at 6:40 am tomorrow.  I\u00e7\u0178\u00a5 glad Ashton lives only 15 minutes or so from Newark!  I\u00e7\u0178\u00a5 glad to spend the time with him.<br \/>\ncomments?  <a href=\"mailto:bob@hypersync.net\" title=\"e-mail me\">e-mail me<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roy and I had lunch a while ago.
