So I'm still trying to figure out how to get this stupid blog shit to work the way it's supposed to...maybe this will stick.
I hate the internet. How odd is that? A meduim with the potential to connect every person on the planet, a global marketplace capable of offering me almost any product or service imaginable...this is evil. Well, not really. Maybe I'm just a little jaded. Have you read "McWorld vs. Jihad"? Don't let the title fool you, it's about economics/politics. Good read. Kinda dry though.
I miss the fact that once upon a time, you had to talk to people. Typing words at folks around the globe is cool, but I know the kind of impact I have on people in RL and it's hard to bring that across in cyberspace. Body language, facial expressions, and vocal tone are the majority of communication, and this medium takes all that away. The average person barely skims what they read (I'm guilty of doing this too!) and we only half listen to what others tell us (cuz we're so busy waiting to say what ever it is that buzzes around in our craniums that we just don't really LISTEN), so how am I to communicate effectively with my fellow humans?
lol.
If you tell me the sky is blue and I disagree, am I crazy? U might think so, but I'd have one question for you: what is the sky made of?
RZA said on the Wu Forever cd that most won't understand because they were not meant to. What's your percentage?

Our Father
Posted 11-25-2011 at 12:03 AM by BornPower
I come from a military family, my mom is from Philly and dad is from Memphis. They met in the Navy and my dad didn't retire until I was twenty-something. During a long conversation I had with my father this weekend I realized a truth I'd hidden from myself: I was afraid of myself, so I would become someone else.
You can imagine how well that turned out. This is my declaration of re-committing to myself. The definition of insanity is doing the same things and expecting different results.
I am done being crazy.
peace
