Semantics Won't Do

Excuse the lack of posts. Real life has been a bit more.... real.... than usual lately.



I've been thinking a lot about words. Not in the Big Deep Way that say Wittgenstein, Kosuth or Barthes would. Just in my own little way.



I'm struck by the fact that two different people can say exactly the same words and the meaning will be entirely different.

It troubles me. I tend to like absolutes. Shifting meanings make me uneasy, like I can't get a fix on things in my world.



Barthes said, "Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.”



And then he was hit by a laundry van.
