Snobviously: Chapter 5

Things in life which are always relative
Taste

It’s subjective if others’ eyes for fashion trends, color, and balance seem better or worse than your own. There is more than one direction for popular music, hot neighborhoods, and any other way you spend your cash. (Some even consider it fashionable to spend as little cash as  possible.)

Intellect

There is constant debate over how to measure the intelligence, but we can agree that no one mind is superior in all things to every other mind.

Personality and Beauty

Our minds are programed by other people, intentionally or not. That is why we have dog people and cat people. Beatles and Elvis. Punks and politicians.

Ignorance

You know more than those poor, under-informed fools, but someone knows all you know and more, you konw. I know because if you were the wold’s authority on a particular subject you’d be turning over every rock for answers. If you don’t understand that, then you’re the real fool here.

Morality

There are people who dedicate their lives to reach perfection. It’s been my understanding they can never make it there on their own.

Some stuff we find in absolutes


Honesty Empathy Justice Law Stupidity Mortality

You should never look down on anyone.

You will, of course, because you are human.

Try to forgive yourself, and then keep practicing.

I have a blog

Bricks and Boxes - Tue, 03/09/2010 - 12:19am

“You have a blog? Really?”

“Yeah. I have a couple, actually. I have one where I write longer stuff, mostly about me. Another is a shorter stuff, not as much about me. Then there are other places to write stuff not about me at all.”

“Does the one about you impress the girls for you?”

“Probably not. It does seem like mostly women read my blog, but they’re all married friends. I would prefer girls not discover me by way of my inner monologue.”

“I’ve always wanted to listen in on my husband’s inner monologue.”

"Interviews are not conversations — conversations are objectively better. As Jack Paar told Dick..."

“Interviews are not conversations — conversations are objectively better. As Jack Paar told Dick Cavett, “Kid, don’t do interviews. That’s clipboards, and David Frost, and what’s your pet peeve and favorite movie. Make it a conversation.” I once thought of this as a dichotomy between two equal and opposite hosting strategies. In the “facilitated speech,” the host’s goal is simply to elicit maximally interesting and detailed responses from the guest, minimizing their own presence. In the “conversation,” the host both contributes and seeks contribution, potentially even mirroring the guest’s role. I still regard those strategies as opposite, but they sure ain’t equal. Perhaps this is an undiplomatic claim to make, but conversations are just better, always and absolutely, than formal, traditionally-conceived interviews. Those strike me as nothing more than hokey by-products of such journalistic rigidities as twitch time limits and miniscule word counts. Planned, borderline-rehearsed simulacra of conversations aren’t conversations at all. They can’t wander into the unexpected, exciting places genuine conversations do, nor can they hope to arrive at the the surprising, fascinating conclusions genuine conversations do.”

Colin Marshall: What I can tell you about interviewing after conducting, editing and broadcasting 100 of them (via Jesse Thorn)

As much as I was pleased with the interview I did with John Adams for the PSO, I think if I’d read this guide before that interview, the result would have been even better and both Adams and I would have had more fun with it.
