This was a short quip (and later a speech)Â given to someone I honestly felt didnt believe I was stupid for her…tried to explain it with this…
Of all i dream
of Love’s past blessings
and Ambition’s future gifts
It is your dream I wish for.
So I am now going through all my journals and crazy as musings. Some of these little quips and shorts are from decades ago. As they are posted…I will try to elaborate on the setting and mood where possible. If your going to read this crap, you may as well experience them via my own perspective.
The short little quip below was me trying to explain in silence why I like to listen rather than speak. enjoy!

When one is reading, it is quite necessary to derive not only the meaning of each word, but also the meaning in each phrase, commensurate to sentences, then to the paragraph, then entire dialog. How many colors does one remember seeing once his or her eyes are closed? What situations cause different colors to appear? Analyzing what colors are within view might be a fault in interpretation of what we’re expected to see! Looking into a mirror without being aware of its properties would sure drive one to an inaccurate interpretation of events.
Why can you hear your own heartbeat? Without the cause of the noise, would never know why it was caused. The roar of a lion while blindfolded would make one a little nervous until he or she heard the click of the end of the sound file or th hiss of electronic silence.
My point?
Simple. Stop reading everything at face value, and try more to understand the meaning of the experience. Spend more time listening to everything around you and you may just learn something other than how patient people can be. 😉
I paid my way through school waiting, bartending, and teaching others to do the same.
Tony’s Rules for Hospitality
**Things never to guess about your customers**
Relation to each other.
Marital status.
Income.
Background.
…and whether or not they like you.
**Things to expect from your entire clientèle.**
They aren’t here to wait on YOU.
They want to be treated like they were dinner guests in your home (et al. Entertained!)
They want to to feel like they’re supposed to tip too much, even if they can’t.
If you can follow these guidelines you can get away without knowing menus, drinks, or even what they ordered. I did.
Jack Sprat could eat no fat, so he became macrobiotic and an enormous pain in the neck.
The future ain’t what it used to be.
