metaglyph 

1.) A life lesson reduced to a symbol. 2.) A complete collection of such symbols. Throughout life we learn lessons. When we reflect on any one lesson we can create a mental picture of it and reduce it to a symbol.

The theory behind The Metaglyph is to reduce one's life lessons to an ordered collection of symbols for the purpose of clarity.
The lesson: Man who squeeze lemon get sour juice. The lesson here is not to be surprised when things get overly ugly when we press an issue with a nasty person.

The metaglyph might be as simple as a large circle denoting the lemon above a small circle denoting a lemon drop.

Petroglyph is the only videogame company that totally pwns EA(Electronic Arts). Evil EA bought Westwood in 1998 and started putting their brand on Westwood games, thus removing every single tiny bit of quality from them. Since the Westwood developpers actually care more about the gamer than the money, the majority of them left EA and started this new VG company. They've had a good start with Star Wars: Empire at War and it's only the beginning.
- Dude, EA is so going to conquer the world!
- Not at all, Westwood guys just left them to form PETROGLYPH!
- O RLY? Then there's still hope in life! I'll stop cutting my wrists and covering 3/5 of my face with my hairs! (see emo)

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
