Mark Twain's the man
Mark Twain is a remarkable man way ahead of his time. He once wrote in a letter to Emeline Beach, on the 10 of February 1868. "To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought onto the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself... Anybody can have ideas-the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph." Everyone should take these words to heart. We need to stop ranting endlessly, stop over complicating, stop procrastinating, stop boring our audiences with pointless words and stop wasting time. The key to success now a days is to get right to the point, stop adding all the bullshit just to fill space. Everyone is way to busy in this fast paced world to sift through all your shit. Language is a beautiful thing when you know how to use it, just don't over use the words or your ideas will get lost.

You are taking my BLOG virginity
So here I am at Hofstra, and I am blogging. Writing online makes me feel like I am not very important, after all who is going to find me in this massive place we all like to refer to as the Internet. The chances of me loosing my work forever aren't that high unless we run out of ways to power this planet. I meant to say these massive cities we have errected to stand way above the land for our convineince, and to save a little space. We have to look out for Mother Nature some how. At least with books you feel important because you can physically see all the copies you have produced and just imagine all the readers that are going to read your words. That must be a hopeful, and exciting feeling to possess. I don't want to bore you with my first blog so I'll make this one short. Peace out.
