if i didn't care

Can a creative person
have no trauma in his past?
Does head trauma count?
Or a toxic river?
I learned to swim in sludge.

What doesn't kill you
makes you stranger.

How does our language shape the way we think?

What we have learned is that people who speak different languages do indeed think differently and that even flukes of grammar can profoundly affect how we see the world.

The sky was beautiful today.

I’ve heard this called a mackerel sky.

jolene - dolly parton

Just for comparison. And because Dolly gets props this holiday weekend.

I have come gradually to understand that the liberal arts cliché about teaching you how to think is actually shorthand for a much deeper, more serious idea: learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed.

My love for you is real - Buddy Guy

My favorite album name from Mr. Guy is Damn Right, I’ve Got The Blues. Which I can’t say without laughing.

Keep It In The Closet

A dance remix of this song was playing at the Central Park rollerdisco today. It reminded me of what a gifted dancer he was—in addition to the host of other talents.
