I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesnt take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like its a peach of cake.

Marshmallow Hotspot Tether DNS issue
Problem description:
adb shell onto the phone -> ping works, as does name resolution
On laptop connected via hotspot or usb tethering to the android phone
ping to an ip address works. ssh to an ip address works.
Name resolution is refused
Solution:
Under IPv4->Other DNS, I added the google NS: 8.8.8.8
Disconnected, reconnected and nslookup is now working, and I can submit this blog post over the wifi hotspot!

Steps, suited to the task
So close, its breathing in my ear ...
So near, like the climax of a mystery novel
What is it?
The answer is simple: Exercise your free will.
All this blame game, isn't it coming from a guilty conscience
of those unwilling to choose wisely
unwilling to show resolve,
blaming others?
The solution is inside us all
its in plain view
but to walk it, we must make the steps,
and build the habits anew
suited to the task.

Pep talk
Not some cliche
For real real
Get out of your comfort zone
Give yourself permission
To live in the moment
To take it all in
Giggle you up inside
Cause you to squirm and wriggle
Dance in a trace
... full of romance
for life
vibrant sharp concious
aware alert present open
playful
permission to laugh out loud as you feel it
flowing free of "shoulds"
... and "what will people thinks"
synonymous with living a facade
let your insides out
don't be afraid to open the door
and find the unknown inside
Catch yourself giving up, leaving the door closed
Make a concious decision to challenge yourself
to try your best
to learn from your mistakes
give yourself permission
to explore your own being
how can you know who you are
if you don't let yourself out
of the "shoulds" box
out here is a beautiful lush green grass meadow
the sun burning high in the sky
beautiful deep blue
your ideas are raining down on you
your soul is a rainbow

Asparagus and the absence of knowledge
The loss of knowledge
Wild asparagus
Starving in abundance
Can't put 2 and 2 together to save your life
In time
Up against nothing
But time
And comfort zone

I've dreamed the mark of a master
I've had a lucid dream
an interpretation
of a real experience
but the dream was more lucid than the real
a posthoc realization
the gentle progression of the day
eclipsed by an afterthought
Like looking in the mirror
and finding you're the reflection
It was this.
In my dream, my mind replayed a guitar player,
mirroring an impromptu gig in an Erice Marsala cellar.
It was not the song I remembered.
Now I cannot play even a Ramones song,
but here replaying in my mind
was a song I've never heard.
I was conscious it was a dream,
a manufactured total experience,
and yet I could recognize a skill in the player
far exceeding my own.
So effortlessly forthcoming,
precision without tension,
speed without hesitation.
An extension of the body,
the song an old friend,
yet entirely new to me.
I was conscious it was a dream,
a manufactured total experience,
and yet I could recognize a skill in the player
far exceeding my own.
I can imagine an expert,
without being one myself
So effortlessly forthcoming,
precision without tension,
speed without hesitation.
An extension of the body,
the song an old friend,
beauty from imperfection
and apparent happenstance.
The mark of a master.
To play music,
we have to choose an instrument.

It's all around you
It's all around you
at the doors of perception
A leap of conciousness
in an instant
the mystery falls away
... a what if scenario
It happens every day
in an analogous way
The secrets are right before us
... in plain view
Just looking isn't enough
I see a pristine coastal lake
I hear the haunting call of a loon
My brother is near me
beholding the spectacle
A vibrant ecosystem
spared of motors
Like Columbus' "India"
the significance evades us
... in plain view
the secrets are right before us
the mystery falls away
in an instant
a leap of conciousness
at the doors of perception
It's all around us
awaiting our faculties of mind
to awaken

Ceci n'est pas un poem
just words and sentences
that suited my fancy
a me(a)ssage for my sub- and consciousness
for the future since 2010
Darjeeling, bergamot and walnuts they say
up and lifted the Lorax away.
Although contrarywise, the opposite is true
Those who did the lifting away, those are you
who bang your who trinkets and bang your who trumpets
Going on without noticing what we must do.
Now I am no poet, I just speak for the trees
without whom you can return to the ocean if you please
To hang with the curious oysters and fishes
If all you want for the world is to grant your three wishes.
Too many a lichen have struggled on rocks
than justify a collection of pink cashmere socks
The power of life has been granted to you
Now go hurry up and figure out what to do.

Listening skills
A good listener is alert,
searching for those chance flashes of the world,
moving mountains in their mind.
If you blink, you'll miss it.
Broadly speaking, listening styles exhibit two extremes:
A) Find the truth in what is being said
B) Find the falsehood in what is being said
In A), one works with the conversation partner, saying "yes and", refining the shared viewpoint with active listening approaches. It recognizes the short comings of language do not imply shortcomings of organization of thoughts, and poorly formulated positions. In general, language is a severe straight-jacket for developed thought frameworks. It recognizes semantics are defined by connections to other thoughts and terms.
In B), one confronts the conversation partner with holes and flaws in the language, sometimes finding flaws in the argument. Often debate becomes semantic in nature, as short comings of language are inherent in its serial, unmathematical and improvised nature. Often this distracts from convergence to jointly formulated positions, and conceptual and thought frameworks.
Other extremes likely exist.
For example, a third extreme, C), is team free association. Governed less by logic, and more by first impressions, conversations evolve rapidly and richly.
