Meet the Relationship Geek — Phil Gerbyshak

Everyone Knows Phil

We had met at the first email and by the last, we had decided that we would be attending Phil’s speaking event in Chicago together — two weeks later. Somewhere around emails three and four he said “I’m not a stalker.” and I laughed, thinking I’m the one who usually writes that. Not bad for an email conversation that only lasted only 42 minutes.

That’s how my relationship with Phil began. I suspect it’s that way for everyone.

Saying the Same Things

I like my intellectual arguments, respectful, thorough, and balanced. But more and more what I see everywhere I look are two sides trying to be so opposite that they’re almost becoming the same. It’s worse than boring. It’s stifling, and at the same time amazing.

I’ve picked up negative comments removed the names and played them back to people I know have a stand. Folks on both sides of an issue have claimed the comments describe their opponent perfectly. Each side is saying the same things over and over. It’s proof that something wrong is going on. Don’t they know?

I Had 5 Minutes Free at 2 in the Morning

About two weeks ago, I got an IM from Tony Hung the Assistant Editor of the new Blog Herald. He asked if I would consider writing a column. I looked in the mirror, to count the lines again. I looked at my husband. I looked at the IM. I wondered at bit at my sanity. I wrote him back and said “Don’t tell me Tuesdays.”

Tony is a doctor in his last year of residency. Still it’s true fast and firmly that he has a solid second calling in persuasive writing. By the time that single IM conversation was over, I had agreed to take on the column — every Thursday. It will be about blogging, people, and real life.

The very first column went up today. Head over, if you’re curious as to what it’s about. Click the screenshot to get you there. The feature’s in the center column.

So What About . . .?

Your links will still be in the D-Z List stories at the Blogging Times. They’re so good to me there. I don’t plan leaving them. It’s Tuesdays as usual for all of us D-Z listers.

Drinks and beverages are still in the sidebar here. There’s always an open seat. You’re only a stranger until you leave that first comment. I’m still that saloonkeeper’s daughter, living inside your computer waiting to hear what you think about everything.

Who’s One in a Million?

Have given someone a one-in-a-million award yet? What great way to say a blogger is special. I’ll link to both of you on the front page of Successful-Blog. How cool is that?

Click the poster to the right to find out how to give someone the one-in-a-million award.

I’m the nice one.
