We live in desperation
Have you ever watched B-list late night talk show host Tavis Smiley? Probably not, but tune in sometime. Dude’s lightning speed elocution makes me wonder if a brotha doesn’t hit the crack pipe one time afore going on-air.
I hope that everyone realizes that a hundred years from now–hopefully less–modern society will look back on the cell phone like it was the old-fashioned bicycle of its day; you know, the ones with the big-ass wheel in front and the two teeny ones in the rear. Not so much a revolution in communication as a stepping stone in improving it. For some reason, people of today value the quantity of what’s said over the quality.
My advice?
Button up. Speak up when you’re moved to, not when you want to. Or when there’s imminent danger. Then you can howl away. *tinkle*

I can’t help myself here, advice to “button up, speak up when your moved to, not when you want to” from a BLOGGER? Falling on the floor laughing here… oh god, that was a good one!!
