"It’s hard to not respond with texting because you’re not exactly sure what somebody said. You didn’t see the nuances in their face or hear the nuances in their voice. And that changes the nature of human communication."

— On today’s Fresh Air, James Steyer explains how texting and the Internet are changing the way we interact. (via nprfreshair)

Chuck. Chuck. Chuck.

Slideshow - history in the making.

Chuck Lives On….

BLAZING hot Saturday on the harbor in Baltimore.  We jammed to the groups leading up to the big man himself.  Sweating like pigs.  But when Chuck came on, it was like the wind just picked up and his soulful voice carried us away. 

Chuck owned D.C., his family needs to know that. 

There will NEVER be another.

Chuck, rock it out up there.

Write one leaf in which you pretend to talk to someone who is actually yourself.

writeoneleaf:

I don’t know that I actually pretend to talk to myself, as much as I actually DO talk to myself.  Doesn’t everyone?  I cannot recall a time when I didn’t.  When I was in elementary school I was talking to myself.  All the time.  What better audience…?
 
As an adult, I try not to do it in public but chances are you will see me walking down 17th Street, N.W. Washington having a full on conversation with yours truly.  From the outside it might appear scary, but trust me, if I DIDN’T talk to myself…then we’d have a scary situation. 
 
Sanity is mine.
