I think that I was an outgoing kid. I would say so. I would say that I was never shy, I was never quiet. When I'm around people, I always wanted to – I wasn't so much a jokester, but I always wanted to make people laugh.

I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair, optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it's pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living.

Well, first of all, we did lots of studies where we show practical intelligence doesn't correlate with G. We have probably two dozen studies that practical intelligence better predicts job success than IQ.

What practical conclusions may we now draw for our propaganda work among women? The task of this Party Congress must not be to issue detailed practical suggestions, but to draw up general directions for the proletarian women's movement.

Soyinka In The House Of My Father

'And gradually they're beginning to recognize the fact that there's nothing more secure than a democratic, accountable, and participatory form of government. But it's sunk in only theoretically, it has not yet sunk in completely in practical terms.'

on practical terms
the neighbors are
still selfish with their
words and works

deep in their hearts
they never like
the democracy
that you are giving
them: they still like
to be violent and
kill whoever blocks
their way to their
churches and
houses and
cinemas and
gambling dens

In other words, the better they did on the IQ test, the worse they did on the practical test and the better they did on the practical tests, the worse they did on the IQ test.

Culture Shock

(s. kipner/p. bliss)
Ive been trying to tell you
Ive been putting it off, putting it off
Cant wait any longer
Youve been good to me
And that only makes it harder
To say what I gotta say
You gotta know I didnt plan it
It was the last thing on my mind
How can you love two people at the same time?
Now I dont wanna lose you
But I cant give him up
I know its unconventional
Radical but practical
Why cant the three of us live together?
Its a culture shock
But its the only hope weve got
Tell me, why cant the three of us live together?
If I could go back and undo it
If I had a time machine
Id make it unhappen like a bad dream
But honey, you gotta know, I didnt plan it
It was the last thing on my mind
How can you love two people at the same time?
Now I dont wanna lose you
But I cant give him up
I know its unconventional
Radical but practical
Why cant the three of us live together?
Its a culture shock
But its the only hope weve got
So,tell me, why cant the three of us live together?
Youre not taking this too well
Its out of the question
I can tell
Its not gonna work, is it?
I know its unconventional
Radical but practical
I dont wanna lose you,no
But I not gonna give him up
Its a culture shock
But its the only hope weve got
Tell me, why cant the three of us live together?
I know its unconventional
Radical but practical

Nor Do I Yield

I want.
I do.
I get.
That's it!
I am not seeking substitutes for my dreams.
Only one train huffs and steams...
On these tracks I've laid to aim my beam!
I hope you're not trying to cross,
As I'm passing through.
One of us will not make our destination,
On time!
And I am long overdue.
Like a fine wine in my prime served cool,
With soothing smoothness of an improved attitude.
I want.
I do.
I get.
That's it!
I don't plan for anymore delays.
My patience has been upgraded to a higher speed.
You better move out of my way...
If there is something you like to save.
Something you believe that's on my path you need.
Folks indecisive?
Better turn around and leave.
I want.
I do.
I get.
That's it!
I want.
I do.
I get.
That's it!
Don't trip or stumble on my path!
I am not attracted to warnings.
Nor do I yield when I am focused.
I am not a jokester playing hocus pocus.
Not for you drugged up slow poke folks.
I want.
I do.
I get.
That's it!
Excuses or regrets?
I have not heard one I liked yet!
