My night with Mark

Check out this good CD

It's Friday night and I now sit in my comfy chair -----> after just departing from my neighbor's intriguing, engaging and stifling conversation. We, Aaron and I, ended up dining with Mark (the neighbor) at a local authentic and "breathtakingly good" Italian restaurant in our hood. This led to me suggesting that our Friday night continue, much to Aaron's sleepy dismay. However, Mark was so inclined...so, Mark and I continued to hang for a few more hours over a couple of beers. Mark stimulates conversation the way a good movie director makes our thoughts wonder and then pulls those wandering thoughts back together with gratifying closure.

After few moments of silent reflection and attention to the rain drops, I realize that much of our conversation circled around society's view, internalization, lack of intrepretation, and pure misconception of the media. He recently had a bizarre (to say the least) experience as a boom operator for Discovery Channel. I haven't asked his permission to re-tell this story, so I will be respectful. However, his main point was that since we live in a world where six entities control the world's media, we must become critical observers. True, eh? Kill your TV, please!
I ask you this: Do you know about Dr. Sax?

This doctor's work is why I previously claimed that my time with Mark included "stifling" conversation. Please, read about this man's research with a critical lens. I hope we will collectively come to an agreeance about Dr. Leonard Sax's research...but in order to break it all apart we must question where our information comes from. Do we do this enough? Is there any way of knowing? Should we believe at all?

Ah, the weight of sleepy Friday night eyes after one too many libations (when one was too many). Read about that doctor and I will soon share my strong opinions.
Until then...sleep well!
