Communication
I've always been fascinated by how people interact, what happens when they do and the implications of sharing yourself with others.

There are so many ways to communicate, and yet it is difficult to be heard sometimes – to find your own voice.
In reaching out to others (or choosing not to, for that matter) lies danger of misconception, but also the excitement of finding new worlds within others.

It's like a rainbow – you can choose to see it as half a circle of colors, only looking at what is visible to your eyes.
Or – go beyond the horizon and accept that it's much more than that. Research its origin, delve into the stories surrounding it and come a little bit closer to what is a beautiful (in)sight.

How and what do you communicate ?
Physical communication – body language – can often contradict what we say in words.
It can also be used to highlight / emphasize other ways of communication – reaching out with a hand, accompanied with caring words / stressing a point and so forth – so it can be used both passively, as well as actively, in ways of communication.

Silent communication – often collaborates with body language – is still communication in some sense.
By not responding to conversation or situations, you still transmit something, in the sense that others fill in the voids and interpret the silence as having a certain meaning.
In the silence there can be words screaming so loud that it's painful to hear.

Spoken communication – different languages, both geographically and socially – could be thought as being the richest element of communication.
The tone of your voice, accompanied with body language makes for an intricate sharing of thoughts.

It is by no means perfect though – communication rarely is - for speaking the same language does not equal understanding what the other person is saying.
The melody and motions vary from each human and, depending how well the relationship is developed between 2 (or more) people talking, it is easy to insert your own "logics" into the conversation – thereby disrupting direct communication – resulting in severe lack of exchanging thoughts and ideas.

Written communication – words on various objects – is on one hand completely severed from emotions embedded in the spoken word, yet bursting with the feelings it carries across to both the author and reader.

As with any form of communication, it is subject to individual perception/interpretation – maybe more so, considering it is a somewhat sterile art of communication – but that is also what it relies on, what it strives for.
To spawn, challenge and further thoughts / ideals / perceptions and thereby creating a foundation for further exchange / communication.


Not to mention how you can communicate with sound, visuals and so on.
But I won't go into that now, I just wanted to put down some of the thoughts I have on this intriguing subject ^_^;

If you want to share your own thoughts about this, then there are plenty of ways to do so ~_^

(haha, yes funny :p )

Bass Baby
Kenji/Kaisuke shared some good stuff of him playing the bass, last night.
At first I thought he wanted to send something..... incriminating ~_^
But it was perfectly legal – and interesting to hear/see. He plays well and has nice hands *nods*

And he also has a wife to give him foot rubs, so Congrats to him/her for that ^_^

Shifty Facts
* Hehe, I borrowed "Tale of Time City" in Swedish and I've yet to start reading it >__>
I wonder if this will be a repetition of the last one – reading it two days after its due-date and returning it a week later ^_^;

* The weather has been weird – snow in the morning, followed by brilliant sunshine from noon to early evening. It gives me an excuse not to leave the house too early to do stuff ^_^

Remember that Objects and People are only as much fun as you make of them ^_^
