I thought this was an excellent read. Not the easiest to follow but wow.
So maybe it was somewhere between finding out girls like guys that can speak to them, and my venture into the sales world that I found this love for speaking. And it extends to just about anything. I am AJ, and I love to talk.
Maybe too much? maybe its about too little? Maybe I just have a nice voice and like to hear it? No. Most likely it is to understand. From speaking with customers analyzing their motions, word choice, what they say, how they say it, and what they mean by it all became so engrained in how I pay attention to people speak I think I developed the habit of analyzing speech constantly.
What better major then English right? Well I thought engineering would be a good choice. So far so gold. I mean good.
Furthermore debating and arguing is to speaking that ballroom dancing is to motion.
Again, I must confess another secret love. Sometimes, unfortunately so, the most passionate things are said when an argument or a debate goes overboard. If only people could show that energy at the start of a conversation positively they would have their readers hooked for the entire speech.
So maybe this so far has just been an abstract flow of thoughts from my mind to this page. I should have a point, I should give an outline of what I'm going to say, the purpose of it all, and then go through aspect (usually 3) and then conclude on what I'm saying. Easy to read, easy to understand, we both leave feeling like you understand my point as best as possible right?
I think not. Perhaps in this tangent filled, twisting algorithm of words you can see how my mind functions. You can see when the paragraphs change, I 'd say it has flow, as I write it of course. [probably won't proofread this puppy, it'll take away from flow] So I don't win a nobel prize for literature, Its late, no ones up, and my fish are great listeners but not so much into the conversing.
Beauty, it means so many things. I think beauty can be found in anything. But I think one of the most beautiful things out there is a beautiful speech. Some speeches catch your attention, others grab it, some speeches kidnap your attention in a van and hold it there until they are done and toss it back to you after they are done.
How do they make you feel? Happy, sad? Maybe they make you want to do something, or stop doing something, work hard, work less, who knows what a speech makes you do. Afterall you are the one choosing what you do. Speeches hold great power to make you question, others make you so excited you jump up and scream or maybe give you that little twitch that sends shivers down your spine.
Why speak? Ever wonder why that person opened that word hole again? Because they believe their understand and what they are going to say is so important to you, that you should listen to them. So are they listening to you? or just waiting their turn to talk?
What has this speech accomplished? Hopefully through some of these questions may seem paradoxical they don't seem stupid little 'profound' statements. "The water only feels hot because it's cold", "The dog is only angry because its scared", "They only hate you because they love you". Anyone with a thesaurus and an understanding of antonyms can make those stupid statements. They are a waste of your time. Leave them to be said by high school students who think they are the next great Frost.
Path less Chosen. So you think you're unique? You and the other 6 billion people? Too much hate in todays society has evolved from the the idea of uniqueness. Chances are there are more people like you, that share characteristics then there are people not like you.
So as the words continue to flow in this discombobulated, strewn together mix of ideas lands on this page makes you wonder. What the heck am I thinking. Thinking about thinking... [ugh that sounds too 'profound' for my liking] What is actually going on? Did I mention I just love talking? Ever go to a store with no intention of buying anything just to talk to someone?
Not even to speak with that one girl that works in the fish department of the LFS that is uber hot and you are so close to going in asking her if she wants to go for lunch? No - you can't just waltz in there and know what to say. You replay how its going to happen again and again in your mind. You know exactly what you'll say, how you'll say it, when you'll pause in your speech, how you'll look, where you'll look. When you laugh, when you chuckle, and when you smile. You know what word you'll say as you put your hand on the counter. You play it over and over again. You know what fish tank is going to be where. You know what the fish are doing you even know what time it will be at. You just don't know if you'll have the courage to do it.
