Human Interaction

Posted by Jason


It never ceases to amuse me how we interact with one another as humans. We constantly have things we would love to say to certain people, but for a myriad of reasons we hold back. We bite our tongues, devising a strategy to deliver our message. This is not directed solely at confronting people with words; it is a much larger scale. We are driven by needs to connect, to be loved, to be accepted, and we are more often than not willing to sacrifice who we are and who we would like to be to obtain those needs. And while we all seem to be in the same boat, we frequently establish walls between our interactions, only to be opened with time and commitment like a small stream carving a canyon. Although I don't believe we could handle it otherwise. It seems as if we will always live with this strange dichotomy. No matter how much we talk about or long for authenticity, we will never be completely free and direct in all of our interactions. Oh well, we learn and we adapt - some better than others. Despite it's complexity, our interactions operate on a system and always will.

Thoughts?

Sunset Design

I wish I blogged more. I have a lot of thoughts that seem like they should be remembered for later. Some for personal reasons; some communal. But alas, I do not seem to take the time to sit down and unjumble them to a coherent, written form. Perhaps it is indecisiveness, or maybe I just don't deem them as worthy to be shared as I'd like to imagine. So, now that that completely useless rambling is over, here's another design I recently did for personal enjoyment (not to mention trying to keep the rust off).

Most people who come across this blog have probably already read this, but for those of you who haven't...

This post makes me think of something that I heard recently and has come up in multiple conversations the last few days. I don't give a horse's ass what you say is important to you, show me where you spend your money (or time) and I'll know what's important to you. Talk and rhetoric are starting to wear me out.
