The ancient distinction ...

... between depression and despair: Kierkegaard on the Couch. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

... despair is not a feeling, but an attitude, a posture towards ourselves.

Glad to see the tagline mentions Gordo's boxing expertise. If want to have a good time, spend 20 minutes on the phone with Gordon Marino.

    i just remembered that my friend Bonehead (Robert Gaston in The Better Maker) studied Philosophy and wrote his thesis on Wittgenstein and boxing; something to do with games and rules, i think. i asked if i could read it and he just gave me a disgusted look and accused me of being an academic.
