Hey, I'm still trying to figure out whether style of writing is free form poetry, unconstructed prose, poor sentence construction, lack of punctuation, all (or no) thumbs "smart" phone texting, written diarrhea, stroke...Originally Posted by sun of sand
I would think a road trip (or maybe a visit to a protected wilderness area) across Nevada, or any number of western states would prove a cure for that.
There are many objects of indescribable beauty being made today, just as there are classic buildings (and barns) being built. You're falling for the trap of the 'oldies radio station', where music from the past seems so much better than today's.... forgetting that the oldies station only plays that 1 song in 10,000 that people still want to hear. The vast majority of houses, barns, everyday objects from 100 years ago are either torn down or went to a landfill, and justifiably so, because they were ugly and they had outlived their usefulness. However, the brass table fan from 1920 was not thrown in the landfill because it was, and still is, an object of beauty. It is that 1 object in 10,000.
I have owned 2, I think I paid @ $125/ea. Neither one worked. I resold them, and used part of the profit to buy an air conditioner from Costco. Or I could have bought an entire crate of Holmes $8 fans from Wally-world.
I wasn't raised in an age or by a family much into sentimentality
I listen to rap and hip hop and R&B as well as as everything else
ANyone who knows rap and has some sense
at the very least
KNOWS
that rap up to the mid 90's was its golden age.
occasionally a few good ones came out after that by the usual suspects
then everything changed and fewer now come out
it is not the same
and it is not as good
only those coming up in this age believe it's as good as any
i don't personally subscribe to the dodo/extinction theory of that which should die does
I think mentality changes often for good or bad based on good or bad information
people don't care after a while
want "new" things
they feel stuck in the mud and desire change
good or bad
ok
how many would say that WWII was our best generation of men?
isn't that a commonly held belief
attitudes better?
harder working on average?
less societal ills?
who is to blame?
first, is it true? Just more people now?
I think there is much more to this question that is hidden from view just like those whales and huge beasts in the sea you can't see except for when they pop up to the top
otherwise ...they're not really in existence to us
I've driven the way from LA to Vegas and spent time in death valley, ridgecrest, trona
yeah
but not the same
what do we lose in effort to maintain safety?
stroke
now you're forced to shut it
