Default I'm an internationally recognized published photographer!

Everyone on this site, worldwide, knows I'm a jerk and I've had pics go "viral" on flickr...
I'm a GOD! Worship me!

I've actually sold images for publications and taken advertising assignment etc. But that's not the point......The widespread "I published an e-book for free and now I'm a publisher" web crap is starting to annoy me......

I guess I'm jealous...something keeps me from taking such "cred's" for myself....maybe I should get over it.....

(no particular reference to anyone you might know here)

Ease up. Life is too short to get so bent out of shape.

I listened to someone one time. I believe that is the qualifier to be a psychiatrist.

I used to get irritated at the same stuff. Then I put some thought into it and came to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter what everyone else says and does. All that matters is that I live my own life as best as I can.

What irritates me about it is these individuals all of a sudden seem to have more "credibility" and people listen to them as if they are some kind of god.

The web is a great place to find information and it's also a great place to find BS...unfortunately many don't know the difference.

repetitive use of the letter "I" is a pretty good indicator on the BS o' meter.
