If you are an introvert or think you may know someone who is, read this essay by Jonathan Rauch. Highlights:
[S]omeone you know, respect, and interact with every day is an introvert, and you are probably driving this person nuts.
For introverts, to be alone with our thoughts is as restorative as sleeping, as nourishing as eating. Our motto: "I'm okay, you're okay—in small doses."
We can only dream that someday, when our condition is more widely understood...it will not be impolite to say "I'm an introvert. You are a wonderful person and I like you. But now please shush."
No doubt.

Lou Reed's NEW YORK album is one of my all time favorites
I think Todd Snider kinda sucks. I bought one of his albums like ten years ago and it was shit.
As for Lou Reed, I love the way his music just pumps you up. I'm ready to take on the day after listening to Dirty Boulevard.
