How I Define Webster Page 1
By Anthony Douglas Gere
How many times during the day does someone ask you how are you doing, and how
many more times do you ask the same question in some form or another? Do you
think they really want to know, or just making polite conversation. Maybe we are
trained to approach each encounter that way to break the ice, or maybe in some
way or fashion, we really mean it. I think about that from time to time, and have been
very selective on the things I now say and invite into my life. Now some might say
that I am taking thing a little bit too far and a little anal about such trivial things. But
what is considered serious and what is trivial when trying to communicate or share
you moments, either brief or long. I guess in many ways no one really cares, and to
super impose everything would lead to going nowhere pretty fast. But then again,
we are back to the question, what is serious and what is trivial. Who determines it,
and at what point do we cross that invisible line. Is it a time thing, a choice of words,
ones moods or what? Why ask if you really don't want to know, and why would one
put themselves in that position if they didn't have time to find out or serve as an
assistant to help solve the quandary? I guess its all about perspective, and how one
defines the mood and moment. Maybe its ones involvement or maybe not. What
ever it is, I'm about to define webster, and see where and what I come up with.
Now wouldn't agree that most things are dealt with out of emotions and or feelings?
I mean think about when you hear a song from the past, one of the golden or maybe,
silver oldies. If you were going through something good or bad, it rekindles up a
certain mood or inner vibration if you can say that, and produces a energy that
reflects ones behavior. I know for me, a sax or Rhodes piano accompanied by a
vocalist with love felt lyrics, takes me to places the space shuttle could only dream
about. When I seethe color purple, I think of Prince and then maybe Oprah Winfrey.
Red brings up my fraternity and blue the color of my first car, a European BMW with
all of the extras. Now yes, I have graduated pass the past, but for that brief moment,
I flash back and smile or cringe and feel proud that I have learned from the good
and bad in all of those things. Now how would one define that. This goes far
beyond words, but words are what we use to communicate. Maybe its my facial
expressions, or the way my body responds. I don't know, but think somewhere in
all of that, it's a combination of all of them and a little bit more of something that
webster can't even define.
So now obviously in thought, your thoughts, many other words, definitions and
scenarios are coming into the picture, but that is not my intention right now. I am
not trying to reinvent the dictionary, but maybe have the holy alphabetised novel
reinvent my explanations and or descriptions. I simply want clarity, and a answer
on where did this person come up with the proper pronunciation, syllable
breakdowns and placement in calling each word an noun, verb and adjective.
Okay, okay, we all know this all started way back when, but who gave the right to
say blue is um, blue, and red isn't um, white? I know we all need to communicate
and this simplifies things, but what about when the early cavemen made noises or
grunted or basically made sounds beating on trees. Was it as simple as someone
saying, if I hit the tree trunk once it means this, or if I bark and howl this means that?
Well maybe, and more than likely possibly. But who was appointed that task and
what did they base their conclusion on? If it was a timing thing, well that would
make a little nit of since, as if it was more affective, that would add up two. And
speaking of numbers, who made that up. Okay, I'll leave that one alone. But
seriously, what makes this that, and not that this? Does it matter, or do you think I'm
just writing this shit to ask what do you think and really don't give a dam or don't
care, like how are you doing today? Regardless on what you think or say, I'm telling
you, I'm just trying to define and understand webster.
