To Know Someone Fully
…..is impossible. Mainly because no one fully knows himself. If no one can fully know himself, how can you fully know him. At best, we can have partial knowledge of people. I know, elementary right? But too many times we will impose partial knowledge on to full judgement. You cannot…

If You’re Frustrated with Facebook…
…you should get off of Facebook. If you’re going to complain – complain, but then do something about it. Get off Facebook. Don’t start groups using the medium that you’re going to complain about. Although it does crack me up when I see people create a Facebook page complaining about…

Music as an Identity Badge
I have received a few requests/demands maybe to write posts on certain topics. It’s a great exercise for me to think about writing something that didn’t originally spawn from my reading or thoughts. One recent request had to do with some thoughts about identity and music and there’s actually alot…

Words Shape Identity
I put that as status update on Facebook yesterday. I heard it off of a tv program that I was watching. Even though the show wasn’t about identity, that was what they were trying to say. The conversation from that status update was quite good. Our identity is affirmed with…

Freeganism
Ever heard of it? Here’s the Google Search for it. Basically, they are scavengers or dumpster divers. They don’t buy anything. They live off of our trash. It’s an amazing identity. But before you think that pulling food out of the dumpster is gross, would you consider that someone deemed…
