tenminutepost-exercise

so just a pre-cursor --- it was stream of consciousness writing and i'm goin to just copy down all that I wrote in the honor of preserving the randomness" 10 mins what could be said in ten minutes could an idea be born in ten minutes could someone follow an idea in ten minutes could an argument come to a conclusion in ten minutes talking with Patrick has become so difficult i could remember when we could sit down and listen we could have a dialog but now he just becomes defensive as if i am attacking his credibility when i mean not to do that am i trying to be right i do think that i can come to agree with his ideas if he can make the argument and that is when it becomes a battle of ideas to conquer the other a competition for rightness i think we both need to feel that validation from each other we are not ok with each other i am not ok with our relationship i need to explore this need for dominance in the spoken world this race to the finish what will we be getting out of it this rightness is our understanding of the world to find meaning in the mundane the little things are our life moments captured not only by media but by memory and by interpretation to come to understand the environment and world around us to surround ourselves with people who see the world as we do-it validates our views-if there is at least 1 person with our same views that gives our views meaning but then again we are relying on others to validate ourselves because if at the least- we are our ideas."
