So true, DFW

In true form of the entire point of David Foster Wallace's 2005 commencement speech at Kenyon, i've taken his words to heart for my own (blogging) experiences.
"Probably the most dangerous thing about college education, at least in my own case, is that it enables my tendency to over-intellectualize stuff, to get lost in abstract arguments inside my head instead of simply paying attention to what's going on right in front of me. Paying attention to what's going on inside me."
 I'm definitely over-intellectualizing what is just clothes. pretty clothes. and also, the entire concept of a blog denies the blogger immediate attention to whats going on both in front and inside. dilemma!
