It has been said by many that life is too short, but at what point is life just long enough or even too long? Life is too short to not live.....
That line was written several months ago, but it was as far as I could get, I guess I said all I had to say. Not everything has to be drawn out with a lot of fluff, I tried to avoid it in college, and I avoid it now. Life is too short to sugar coat and add a bunch of fluff.
Language is a powerful thing, it is even more powerful in those who treat it as such. Never squander language, command language to say what you want not only by the literal meaning, but by the figurative and emotional. Command of the english language is slipping away in favor of text speak, spell check, and laziness. I challenge all who read this to not let the art and the science to just die in favor of something easier and faster. Work to improve your vocabulary, not to impress your friends at dinner parties or to seem like a pompous ass, but to show that you value yourself as a civilized member of the world.
Anyway, that's my soapbox moment.
