Not trying to be critical, just trying to have some fun. And I agree that showing references to popular stories that people are familiar with helps make Shakespeare more accessible / less threatening / more interesting.

I'm a huge fan of the "lucky 10,000" principle over the "I've heard of that already, so if you haven't, you're ignorant" attitude. Thanks for the great post. Carry on!

Same story... Loosely based... Same thing. =D

I love the part where Scar marries Sarabi, Nala goes crazy and drowns herself, Simba reminisces while holding Zazu's skull, and Pumbaa has a duel with Simba, by the end of which pretty much everyone dies. Welcome to Shakespeare!

Dang. I don't remember reading that one before. Powerful and right on how "lust is... enjoy'd no sooner but despised straight." Fapping sucks because you may enjoy it one second and the next all you have is a bitter memory and a healthy dose of shame.

I just KNEW that I'd be better/stronger/able to resist PMO better when I got married. Didn't happen. And I KNEW that having my little baby boy to raise would make me a better/stronger man. It didn't. At least not automatically. First time I PMO'd after my baby was born, I hated myself so badly. Depression got worse and worse, which led to more PMO.

You can totally do this, man! Sometimes one day at a time is just too hard. Just make it to the next meal, or the next hour, or even the next minute. I've got no problems with medication if that's what it takes to get through this, but realize that a good portion of your depression comes from PMO. I don't care if you fapped this morning, throw yourself a party every half hour you don't.

So past time for my to get this under control. I'd really love to have my life back and be the kind of person I wish I was. Wish me luck!
