It's Easier to Think

I am Mark Meneses, the Miami breed.
I hum music with my words, and my fingers follow soon after.
Sometimes I whisper; sometimes I become a news anchor.
Creation, appreciation, & apprehension.
Watch my footprint gain depth in the sand.

Everything I post on here is original unless otherwise noted or cited, including poetry, images, and videos. Opinions, however, are all mine mine mine.

I cannot count the times I have cursed our lack of urgency. If I ever love again, I will not wait to love as best as I can. We thought we were young and that there would be time to love well sometime in the future. This is a terrible way to think. It is no way to live, to wait to love.

Because we’ve grown up thinking of ourselves in relation to the political-media-entertainment ephemera, in our safe and comfortable homes, given the time to think about how we would fit into this or that band or TV show or movie, and how we would look doing it. These are people for whom the idea of anonymity is existentially irrational, indefensible. And thus, there is a lot of talking about it all — surely the cultural output of this time will reflect that — there’ll be a lot of talking, whole movies full of talking, talking about talking, ruminating about talking about wondering, about our place, our wants and obligations — the blathering of the belle epoque, you know. Environmentally reinforced solipsism.

Do not dismiss a book until you have written one.

This is what we want. This is all that we can do.

Dave Eggers TED Prize Speech

The man who makes storytelling logical and makes it logical to tell stories. The man who has a grasp on why we are here—or can at least soothe the pain. The man who puts a cap on that horrid begins-with-i-ends-with-y word and 1,001 other misconceptions people seem to think they know everything about.

If you haven’t read anything by Eggers yet, then I suggest you change that. If you have and hearing content out of context makes you giggle as it does me, then this might be of some appeal to you.
