well read good man

i haven't read...really read something i liked and that really touched me for quite some time now. it was merely a piece of prose, but it touched me. and i liked it. i have to wonder how and why this is different from anything else. so clear and ....awake.

expressive prose enlightens my mind once more and inspires. i can only hope this feeling persists. for i have been in a trench lacking literature...it's been more like litterature... nothing good,..but a bit of the usual continuous repetition that has been plaguing our society for a few years. this was real and i was journeying right through his eyes. i read a line so consicely phrased that it was like fresh churned butter spread melting on steaming hot toast. it made my eyes well up the way they do when i happen to catch "britain's got talent" and they show one of those kids with the most God-given pipes - yeah that always brings out a tear - i think that's a auditory-tho... or i'm just really happy for the kid.

i wish i could say i love your words i love your voice i love whats going on inside your head. well i guess i just did. so thaink u for intriguing my mind...it was highly transformative.

see it's even making me more poetic. i won't say who it was for it's close to home.

but thank u.

and We can only hope that our dreams turn to real and that we make our dreams real through our good and kind actions.

sweet dreams

the golden mile

my current frustration

so just as i think that everything is on its way up... my drivers licsense is suspended..only cause i wated to call me mum to say hi and she offered to open my mail....oy vey the decisions we make that lead us to new things - albeit some unfotunate things we are forced to deal with. i have so much happening this month and was just analyzing everything today and then i get the news of this...it's not life altering...but it is a bit of a slap in the face and/or wake up call (YET ANOTHER ALEX) that I actually need to recognize and say HEY it is time to get my SH*! IN GEAR or else I am not going anywhere in this life. I like but also do not like the prospect of the uknown...i live to put things off, but strive in getting them done! say what? how is that  possible you ask with such a dichotomy of gettin' 'er done..i know right... but that's me to a tea and I am OFFICIALLY p.o.'d at ME for this complete lack of responsibility taht as led to my own demise! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

genius man, just genius.

Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano

""Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean




And we fall back into the same patterns, same team



But your temper's just as bad as mine is



You're the same as me



When it comes to love you're just as blinded









Baby please come back, it wasn't you. Baby it was me.



Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems



Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano



All I know is I love you too much, to walk away now



Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk



Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?



I told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball



Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall



Next time? There won't be no next time



I apologize, even though I know it's lies.."" -eminem 2010

think on it....

repetitive media propaganda

We all know that propaganda has been a part of media and maybe even, prompted media wide coverage of everything in life now... from celebrities to what your friend had for dinner posted on her facebook status. all in all, the world is controlled by media and has been since the inception of literacy and the printing press. i heard an amazing quote from King of the Hill - of all shows- it was a principal who said -and I'm leaning to concur with him - that all parents want to know nowadays is why their kids can't read.. that's it, the people's focus is turned to literacy as a whole now because it is in our face..now if we can all read from younger and younger ages we will all be prompted to see read and in-take all images and written media around us. {i hate to ask - cause i failed it twice in high school...but what about math? [and for that matter...science, tech etc... these now take a backseat to what is being shoved in our faces everyday.]}

this is the direction we are going and without a doubt it will only snow ball even further.. I'm interested to see where future media/propaganda-what have you---will take us and what length they will go to advertise.

recently at my place of employ - won't mention it... but we (and I say we lightly - my boss who does not listen to anyone or research anything before going ahead with it) hired a guy who contracted a person to create a facebook page get us 2500 friends emails etc, in our projected demographic and region..... and we paid almost 2000 for it!! can you believe this. it's nutz.  just to throw more and more media-lingo-shit in people's faces. I'm all for literacy cool advertising, but now it is so saturated that i cannot even think how to redefine good literacy. it has become media-social-networked based and influence.

the media has risen in it's power and is unequivocally showering us with wordie-propaganda from visual, animated and just plain words..everywhere.

i am a linguist. i am for learning, language & literacy, but this diluted mess we are living in currently needs to be tidied.

I do however feel & see the inevitable linguistic change which is world wide with language. we are seeing something, what i think is akin to Big Brother (George Orwell 1984) with 24/7/365 linked in social networking, emailing, etc capabilities we have all streamlined our minds to online online online and we are all [practically] ONLINE. we are hooked in.
i do not want to piss anyone off by saying "everyone" is hooked in, but i speak in more general terms for the local general mass of the human and in this case [Canadian] population. i speak of the people i commute to work with on the roads everyday, exposed to radio, and billboard ads, then when we get to work, we are undoubtedly [thanks to google's keen key word pick up] we are now prompted to buy immediately when we do a simple Internet search.

i can go on for hours, but really i know that i have ranted enough

what i am saying is that we are now at the inevitable stage of media and marketing where we are always inundated with SOMETHING.

what i am looking forward to is 10 years from now. i want to see how things have changed and where we will be, how much MORE hooked in we will be and with WHAT restrictions [or lack thereof]. i want to see the linguistic change filter across the board-worldwide!

next post will be more organized, sometime a girl's just gotta rant to get this stuff out of her head!

focus

keep at it.... seriously, keep at it. when you want to give up on even the simplst thing, re-prioritize, re-focus and re-do. and everything becomes clear all of a sudden. it will again need to be re-prioritized again and again until you knock that list down, priorities and knowledge changes as you complete each subsequent task. this is very important to remember.
