Pablo.. New and old have never gotten along.. The struggle between the past/present and the future is what makes life interesting.. Its what makes us and what we surround ourselves with evolve.. change.. digress.. and sometimes triumph. Over the weekend I had a lot of time to sort out the bullshit from the substance with our discussions. Ultimately I just came to the conclusion that neither of us is truly right. And if I ever actually got someone to agree with me.. I would be just as disappointed then if I hadn't got anyone one to agree with me. Does that make any sense.. I guess I just like to argue. hehe As with comparing modern versus modernist.. as they share that same root word.. they will always share some of the same meanings.. But I think its fair that we can never assume one is the other. May they live as word equals in that happy place called the dictionary. "com on' everybody, lets do the tonga..."
