Positivity Update

Hmm....so let me get something out of the way first:

I clicked the "New Post" button with the intention of solely updating Spreading Fast on my enlightening experience with the audiobook Positivity. So I went to Dr. Barbara Fredrickson's website (www.PositivityRatio.com) and took my first Positivity Ration Test. For some reason, I feel the need to capitalize the name of that test. But another part of me doesn't feel that it's necessary. Whatever. Dr. Fredrickson writes that a PR above 3:1 indicates someone that is 'flourishing'. My score was 1:1. That makes me sad.

But the whole reason my floundering Positivity Ration score is not now the focus of this entry is that I got distracted by something. No, it wasn't shiny or sparkly. It was actually a pretty plain website (http://www.panix.com/~tehom/), as far as websites go. Before I start delving into the topics mentioned by Tom Breton, a serious computer-...I-would-say-nerd-but-I-want-to-be-nice-because-he's-got-an-interesting-site-and-an-awkward-sense-of-humor, I would like to...to...wow, I forgot what I was going to say. Either way, Tommy boy has some interesting topics on his page: a link to a page concerning Men's Rights, one for links to every possible website associated with the show Married with Children (even a broken link to a website dedicated to the fictitious porno mag often featured on the show, Big 'Uns...here's a good link http://www.tvacres.com/magazines_big.htm), and another outlining his personal opposition to the letters g and h being used together in words such as tough or plough. Needless to say, it's pretty interesting. Definately more interesting than a below-average Positivity Ratio.
