We're all always Talking, Yapping, And Blabbing. Me I talk, and Yap, and Blab, more than anyone, but no one listens, except for myself, the self who I'm not, the self who also listens to anything anyone will say, just to intake speech, and patterns, and lisps, and accents, and Twain's, just to learn.

Lets all Yak a little less and listen a little more, and DO just a little bit more, and learn nothing unless its taught. Scratch that, NO, lets all Yak as much as we can, lets all listen only as much as we can till we're through listening and we cant listen no more, lets all learn what we haven't been taught, and lets all do just that.

Traveler's choose, wanderer's land.

I have been pedestrian for the better part of this year now, inconvenient yes, but its been easy going, what with living in a beach city and all.

Don't mind the walks, sometimes tens of miles worth a day, sites and sounds coming at you and your walking through 'em makes a wake in the city's aura, it gets kinda tunnell-y sometimes specially if you stop at every drink dispensary. If you want to experience your day however, this is the way to do it.

Now I've never been one to neglect the art of being lazy, activity just sits well when you have time to waste with no television. NPR and a pair of headphones make for better company anyway.

Writing post cards and smoking black and mild's. I get complaints from recipients of said postcards, "the mail takes too long" and such, they would rather I use the Internet for communicates, this is fine, if you don't mind the lack of charm.

All this convenience might be partly to blame for America's people's having trouble with their weight, there was a time when you'd have to walk a little even to listen to music. Records. They will require you to flip a disc and to do so you'll have to walk to the machine, but now with all these pod's and Internet radio box's and multi digital disc playing devices this is been put into obsolete-en ism (this might not be a word).

Convenience has led to some real world crisis, jobs are being lost to the convenience of the Internet and the ease of credit card's, Me I like my news in paper form I take my quarters to a dispenser every morning, but I cant say this is true for the rest of America, and I don't blame 'em but I wish people would see past convenience once in a while, go to a store a real store brick and mortar (or wood and stucco as the times may provide), rent your movies from a place a real place a destination type joint, get your clothes somewhere I mean SOMEWHERE as in a place somewhere, a location, go through their doors touch their goods and try something on.
