Logocentric (adj). Regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics). Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like. Other times I respond to prompts, many taken from the following places: Thanks for stopping by!  |
 Prompt #133: Imagine you wake up with a new ability—just one. What is it and what changes in your life? There are two directions I could take this prompt: realistic and fantasy And you know what? This is my blog so I'm going to do them both!  In terms of a realistic new ability, I think a natural aptitude for numbers and math would be really helpful. So much of my career has been oriented in the direction of "business administration" but budgets, calculations, and other numbers continue to be difficult for me. They just don't come as naturally as words do, and if I could suddenly have the ability to effortlessly read a P&L statement, or understand the fundamentals of the stock market and investing in general, I think I could take my career (and my personal finances) to a whole other level. I've always thought that I would be a good entrepreneur, if not for the lack of understanding about corporate finances work. Either that, or I'd want to be one of those people with an amazing metabolism where I could basically eat anything I want and still maintain an excellent physique and level of fitness. If we're talking about dipping a toe into the fantasy realm for this new ability, I would love to have the ability to teleport. I mean, I would never have to commute again! I could just wake up twenty minutes before I have to be in the office, get ready, then BAMF! suddenly I'm at my office fifty miles away. Or BAMF! and I'm 500 miles away and able to have dinner with my brother and my dad. Or, oh man, you know what sounds good for dinner? Authentic lobster rolls from that place we went to in Maine. Okay, I'll be back in ten minutes! BAMF! There are just so many uses for instantaneous transportation; I feel like that would be life-changing, especially if I could bring people along that I'm touching at the time. Our family vacations would never require a drive or a flight again! I've always wanted the power of telekinesis, but I feel like that would just make my lazy, if I never had to get up off the couch to get something out of the fridge. |
