COMMUNICATION--VERBAL (TALKING), EMOTIONAL (THROUGH THOUGHTS/FEELINGS), PHYSICAL (TOUCH), WRITTEN WORD (WRITING/TYPING), VISUAL (IF LOOKS COULD KILL...), LISTENING (THE RECIEVING PART OF COMMUNICATION?)....AM I LEAVING ANYTHING OUT?....I must learn more about this and the definitions/distinctions about it!!.  I really would like to get more awareness through breakthrough education in this area.  I sense there are many things that I don't know that I don't know about it....you know?  Like are there other ways to communicate other than the ways I've typed about above? 

What is the power of it?  And what is the purpose for it?  We are given one mouth and two ears...I wonder, is that just a fluke or does that mean we are better off listening more and talking less?  Why were we put here with communication skills at all?  Of course this can be broadened in to the entire question of why are we here at all, but I'm sort of interested in the communication aspect right now, rather than trying to figure out our entire purpose, which seems a bit overwhelming, and the frustrations associated with it etc. etc.  Sidenote, I read somewhere that the first half of your life is controlled by your parents, and the second half of your life is dictated by your children, if you have them. 

Moving on, I mean, if there is a god (why i keep goin back to that?) our entire existence seems sort of arbitrary....perhaps as Sid Vicious said before he bit the big one...maybe we're here to just have fun and nothing more......maybe I just think too much and should focus on merely having fun in life and stop trying to figure it out....which, if past history is any predictor of future understanding, it ain't gonna happen.  Our existence here is a mystery that will most likely never be solved.  And if there is any constant at all it's that there are no constants AND time doesn't make any difference at all when it comes to emotional health anyway....I mean feelin blue at 22 don't mean you won't feel like shit at 36....time don't do nuthin.....I suppose it's what we DO with the time n stuff, is all that matters....ahhh but I digress!!....goals, update, tracking progress?...what the hell is that about?  Talk about setting oneself up for failure!! Shit I ain't goin down that road again... basing past experience n keepin track hah! I choose to live in the moment....right now....all there is.....past is gone.....future is now....don't want more control... more advertising....someone to channel my creative self somehow... hmmm?? I don't think so....I will stay all over the fricken board on here cuz that is my reality.....of course I know it is difficult for some to let well enough alone and let a good thing BE!! (we must feel that we have a purpose, makin a difference, unconsciously inflating our ego's).   How often have you looked back and found things have changed----for the worse??  Oh btw....if you want to keep the fizz/carbonation in your 12 packs of pop stop slamming them down on the counter or floor or wutever!! And if the check-out person does it to your 12 pack or case, get another one! Cuz when you get home you won't have the carbonation and life will suck!!  This is what's so....took me a long time for someone to share that with me....I handle all packages of diet coke very carefully, gently placing them in the shopping cart, carefully putting them on the seat of the car, and with care bringing them to my house where they can rest in peace, maintaining their bubbly selves, until I snap open their aluminum goodness to drink in the sparkling refreshment.
