Take a long wok off a short peer...



Take a long wok off a short peer


Steal irregularly shaped, oriental cookware from a vertically challenged friend. Amazing how you can say one thing and mean another. Led Zeppelin 1, Track 7. (Yes i know, another Zeppelin reference, but it just fits.) The biggest communication breakdown, hence the LZ reference, is that people communicate the way they want to be communicated to. Ever notice if you speak softly to a shy person, you have their full attention. a An angry person is much more responsive if you yell right back at them, and then later they respect you even more so (although fists may have been thrown, still respect). The analytical wants facts and figures to back up the conversation. Proof that the conversation even exists.Dumb and silly will hold the attention of the A.D.D.'s and those who should not procreate. A respectful teenager and parent's chat can becomes an adult discussion under the correct circumstances. But no, most us would rather just tell someone to take a long walk off a short pier. Enough said, but not communicated

Walking Humble

Walking Humble

I own a 22 year old pair of Birkenstock's. They have never been re-corked. They have never been re-soled. They have holes where my big toes should be. They have worn completely through where my heels rest. The base has only a thin layer of rubber. The dingy suede straps are scarcely held together by the oxidized buckles. Obviously they are not the most aesthetically sound set of footwear, but they are still the most comfortable pair of shoes i own... because they keep me walking humble.
