 Wernicke's aphasia

Saying is overrated. Intonation, expression, and charisma befuddle logic and twist minds to weak opinions more correctly termed "moods." Writing, on the other hand, is underrated. Subtlety, irony, and metaphors, if you forgive my unparallel structure, and my spelling then again, can convince subconciously but are grounded within the substance-containing text. Writing can be dissected for fact or absorbed for perspective. Somehow, the phrase "Einstein wrote" packs a certain authoritative punch that "Einstein says" lacks.

And how do we write? Five hundred hands move over their respective pads and write "simple columnar epithelium" in apathetic imitation of a shadow on the wall. We hunch over hunks of twisted metal and plastic to tap out "lol"s and "=)"s. In essence, we no longer write. We "communicate."

Useless writing reflects a wasted voice. We no longer care enough to elect a legitimately representative government. It is enough to deride decisions verbally, callously, and apathetically watch activists and political groups duke it out, verbally, callously, for economic and popular power.

Interesting blog..I have always admired those who can speak eloquently without wasting any extra effort, those people seem to carry a typewriter inside their brains and just speak as they write. But then again, speaking is just the active form of writing, so those who can speak eloquently should be able to write even more beautifully..logically speaking. =)

Writing to me is ..a way for me to express myself with a clear mind. I don't exactly how it works, but the words just seem to fit snuggly on the page (or on the screen in this case) and it just makes me feel good inside after I just spill everything out. I know that in this society, speaking well indicates that you are an expressive person, a sociable person, and it's true that we all need verbal expressions to communicate with each other.
Writing is usually a more personable process..or something that carries a longer lasting effect..plus, in this fast-paced society that we all live in, I guess writing can be a bit more time-consuming than just saying it..

No worries about reading it..though I must say that you would be the last person in my mind to come across that..^^"..I should be ashamed of myself of having worried/shocked you right there..Thank you for sharing your story with me. You and Joey make a really cute couple..or even as a pair of good good friends. =)
I am alright..plus with all the exams and assignments, I have little to none energy to mind those less important business..You can see that as my random rant of the day..
Friday sounds good for now. Any suggestions for where we will be going? =)
