Perhaps I've got a serious lack of communication skills

Are you a native English speaker?

I have trouble following your thoughts/sentence structure.

I am, but interestingly enough, the syntax/grammatical structure of Spanish, and the other 'backward' languages comes very natural to the way I think. For example, I took a Mexican driver's license test; most gringos were failing it because it's written using their grammatical structure; I had no problem comprehending what they were trying to convey.

Apart from that, I do type as I think often times. My punctuation, I think is used properly to convey breaks in my thought pattern, or 'stops' of reflection.

I usually type at around 60 words per minute, and that's with the thoughts included.

Sometimes I've got multiple thoughts running, and that's where I can write some really incoherent, or more so, poorly laid out thoughts.

Aside from that, and my writing ability, I guess some don't get it, but at the same time, I've got several published op-eds, and articles floating around the net.

Likewise, I used to have a small radio show, it was just starting out, but had several high profile guests. I quit that, as my mother was dying, and I had family engagements that I felt compelled to take up first. I mention this, as I still get requests from people like Howard Bloom to come back. I don't know that I ever will at this point, but it makes me feel good to know someone of his public stature respected me enough, or perhaps intrigued enough, to occasionally check in.

Yea I'm not trying to be insulting at all; you seem like an intelligent person. Your writing style just takes some getting use too.

Howard Bloom

Smart guy (probably too smart); but cryptic and I don't buy his whole low energy for a decade shtick. Did you catch him on Rogan?

Also, side note, do you listen to podcasts? Have you caught any of the 'Our Interesting Times/Powers and Principalities' episodes?

No offense taken, I know I can type in a hard to read way often. Usually it's when in a hurry, and I guess in my own 'thought language'....... When I write anything for like an op-ed, I spend the time to make it more clear, but it's been a long while since writing anything, lol.

Regarding Howard, yes, he kept me on my toes, and the funny thing, he did quite a bit of research in preparation for our chat; I was shocked at the level of research done, but then again, I do similar often enough.

As far as podcasts, no, my last several years were either trying to take care of my mom, or up until a month ago, my father. I'm hoping to get back on my game, and perhaps do something new; with media of course.
