its amazing how powerful an apology is. It's not even the word, but what it implies. Most people don't even need to accept it, it's enough for them that you gave them enough consideration. And then the floodgates open where it's like oh I'm like this too and maybe we both overreacted and all that.
its just hard to put yourself in that position sometimes. the perceived weaker one. but really, its the greatest communication tool that ever was.
please, ego, remember when you are at your biggest and baddest. other people probably feel just as hurt as you do.

ATTN:
I can PWN you so bad, but I'd rather not. And so if you're gunna do it, do it, I can pretend to live just fine without you.

missed connections
what is this craigslist?
how many times do we miss the chance to blow something entirely human into someone's airspace? like a handshake, or even a few words on an old friends xanga (which i admit, i still get emails from when people update) (does that creep them out) or a smile at a stranger/customer, conversation. sometimes i really wanna say something, but the situation just doesn't call for it, and i let that stop me.
[i always ask what people are reading at work, while they're reading which is annoying for them i bet, because that's something i can't help. if someone is reading the economist or the new yorker, which has happened 3 times, they are always so happy to hear that they have a kindred reader at the ole lounge. and they always say something as they're leaving. or the time that i asked that guy about his rock and roll autobiography and he kept talking to me the whole time. or the woman that wrote down the name of the book and that could i please read it because it is so so good?]
its okay at work, but the world is a disconnected place isn't it.

what is it about allen ginsburg that people have to die over? he's this transcendent beatnik truth spewer. a dirty drunk hippy. maybe i haven't given his work much thought, or reading to appreciate it. but sometimes i find it too choppy to comprehend, care about? mind you i have a collected works but.....maybe sometime when i have the literary savvy.
