Corner of Bourbon & Division

I apparently just got linked to rydra_wong's Linkspam list thing.

ACK!

Anyway, for those of you who might be wandering by, I'd like to point out that I am seriously not that interesting. I post random stuff about my life, which is interesting only to me and maybe some of my friends. Occasionally I try my hand at thinking, and it invariably gets me in trouble. :P

Uh, yeah. So... play nice, 'kay?

This needs to be said, even though I'm pretty sure that my little corner of the internet doesn't intersect much with the much larger corner of the internet that has been in such turmoil lately.

Here it is: just because I am silent, does not mean I am not listening.

There is a certain virtue in understanding that one has nothing of real value or merit to add to a conversation (or debate, or topic), that has not been said before. There is a certain virtue in understanding that what one might have originally contributed is not necessarily right, or should even be said (again). There is a certain virtue in understanding that silence may be the best path to shedding preconceptions and arriving at a place of even better understanding.

I am silent, but not passive. I read, I think, I incoporate, and, ultimately, I learn. Sometimes, I think people underestimate this.
