Change
And I have heard it said that the only thing constant is change. And in
other thoughts, as if on cue the other day, it could have been a scene
straight out of a Broadway play as I looked up while riding the subway
train and going my way. Just about everyone on the subway car that I
was sitting in was picking up their cell phone at the exact same time
in synchronicity, fidgeting with them and then putting them to their
ears at the same time and listening to them or talking to them upon
coming out of the subway tunnel into the above ground light, as if one
was given a green light and one quick second to receive an invisible
signal that said "You can now talk on and fidget with your cell phone
before the train goes underground again and you lose this signal." And
this was an almost eerie scene to me in the age of technology, high
tech gadgets and the programming of a robotic humanity to adapt to
these gadgets that goes with it. And it almost parodies my
blogaholicness on this computer to me. Does this one subway car event
reflect the rest of the subway cars on that train and the rest of the
subway lines here in the New York City metropolitan subway transit
system and the rest of the world and nation. And for some reason that
verse from one of those rap songs on that Grandmaster Flash, The
Furious Five and Grandmaster Melle Mel Sugar Hill Records cassette tape
comes to mind, "And don't be a slave to no computer". Could their songs
and lyrics have been a prophecy of our time. And as I look at the date of
this day on that Gregorian calendar, yesterday seems to have been May Day.
Workers of the world unite. Have a great technology and May Day day.
