Different, yes. And I wouldn't say I adopt entirely, hook, line, and sinker, either. Aspects of each, mixed with other philosophies and ideologies govern my perceptions of the world.

I mean, look at "The Call of the Wild" compared to, say, "The Trial". One's a cold, hard world where the strong survive, the other is complex and impossible to understand, and impossible to put a finger on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591510301462747246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648327687902230311.post-9851488116079967352009-12-03T13:48:57.522-05:002009-12-03T13:48:57.522-05:00Is it Nick or me you're talking about?Is it Nick or me you're talking about?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591510301462747246noreply@blogger.com
