you are assuming your performance at school triggered your anxiety; it may be that anxiety was the cause rather than the effect.

I enjoyed this post, especially as a person who also gets nice performance reviews yet somehow never moves "up" (and, truth be told, doesn't really want to).

What I'm curious to know is, if you could prove demonstrably that your intelligence took a hit due to lead exposure, would you feel better, or worse?

hey, man ..i've been pondering a correlation of my mental deficiencies in relation to possible ADD.

If you get to say it's lead fumes then i get to say I'm ADD.

hans, i would like to know about the time -- times? -- you got shitknockered on staten island.

xtina: I think knowing my brain was permanently damaged by lead fumes would make me feel worse. i'd be much happier to find out that my stupidity was something I could possibly address by conquering some silly psychological issue.

dlee: now that I think about it, my academics dropped off right around the time I started hanging out with you. I wonder if I caught your ADD...?

pb, I only got drunk on the Island of Staten one time. It was a yearbook-signing party of all things, my senior year of high school. Classes were done for the year, and my GF and I made the trek to somebody's house out there. I got loaded, and then ended up lying in a hammock and telling a bunch of people what I really thoughht of them. oops.

Hans - you listenin' to them Drive-By Truckers? If not, and you want to get your alt-country on, i highly recommend their Blessing and a Curse album. It contains 3-4 gems, including a tune called Gravity's Gone (lyric: i've been falling so long it's like gravity's gone and i'm just floatin). Their like Wilco/Son Volt with an edgy sense of humor.

musicdat: as a married, 36-year old of serious scandinavian descent living in the mpls burbs i feel slightly disadvantaged on this one...but since i don't have any of them damn GPs yet i'm guessing jay-z
