I find I'm becoming a man of few words. I feel as though we, as human beings, are too easily moved to say stupid things. Blame it on whatever you like, but the quality of conversation is at an all-time low. In a world were communication is both easy and omnipresent the tendency of the average person is to speak, to type, to recount, always. No one holds back anymore. Actually, no, the people that I tend to respect nowadays are those that keep their traps shut. Not always, but when appropriate.
I used to be such a loudmouth. Didn't give a flying fuck what anyone thought, which is both admirable and ridiculous. I was such a fool. Now when I hear people like that I just wish they'd shut up. The world needs more wit. Sharp minds, sharp language, sharp tools.
When will the ignorant come together and in one unified voice, shut the fuck up? For the good of all the friendships, relationships and acquaintances I've yet to meet, I hope soon.

I have been wishing I had to skill to keep my mouth shut.
I need to try harder..
I find I'm changing subtly towards a less mouthy jackass, strange self-aware steps. We both need to try harder :P

Paradox! I love it.
