Create Your Own Quotes? Dare We Say We Can Do That?

If you do any observation at all, you may be able to create your own quotes. There are observable patterns anyone can see who looks long and hard enough. But with all the Emersons and Platos, it may seem a bit presumptuous to think we can discover anything original.

Jimi Hendrix has been, and is still considered by many, to be the best guitarist in the history of rock. Some commentators may say that Hendrix did it all, and it is up to the rest of the world to find out the depth what that was. And yet, guitarists have been exploring new techniques since the 70s, and many have become the new standards for comparison.

The reality is: everyone sees reality differently, and there is a potential contribution to others from your unique view of it. I do not say that all truth is God's truth. I do say all discoverable apparent truth is apparent indeed, that is, until someone refines it. I believe all God's truth is true indeed.

Make Creative Quotes That Keep Tweeters Watching

When you microblog, go beyond simple "What I am doing" statements, to quotes. You can actually make them up yourself. Such as "The End of Civilization as We Know it..." Make up the rest based on either an opposite of "end," or a thesaurus-friendly term to it. Make it come out in support or opposition to something you like or dislike. Make it rhyme: "Nothing new under the sun...except the ways to spoil my fun." Make it current: "How do you rap a 787 Billion Dollar Stimulus Package" And on and on.

Newgame 1: Opposites

One possible way to increase mental function is to get a partner and challenge him or her to come up with an opposite of whatever word you say. Start out easy, and progress until it gets almost subjective what the opposite is. For example, an easy contrast would be "attract-repel." A more challenging one would be "apparent-latent." Ridiculous is "magisterial-?" You get the picture. This will build a readily accesible vocabulary that will be an important part of your total communication. The point is not so much to win a game as to sharpen your perception and quick wits. And even in the subjective nature of the some of these opposites, some of our prejudices and bents seep through, so you learn something either way. More on this as thought churns.
