Just saw a headline that someone broke their silence...
About something that happened... 24 hours ago.
Seeing it more and more, in this age of sloppy internet journalism and sensational headlines....
And it rubs me, every time.
"Seriously? what's the matter with you?" I hear you mutter, under your not-so fresh-breath.
And yeah, maybe...
But...
Think about it. Let your mind drift, and you realize you've read it or heard it on Tee-Vee an insane amount of time.
Not "@#whateverjeezusstop" #'s, or any sentence containing "annihilated" and "on twitter", but top five, easily....
You still with me?
Why?
Random pop star broke her silence about the twitter feud with.... other, random pop star. She was not noticeably silent up to that point. Twitter... It's public, loud, feuding...
The one that made me realize that everyone's breaking their silence, every day?
Chris Cornell's estranged-or- whatever mother in law breaks her silence.
(3 days after he passed, if I recall)
Huh?
Historically, someone broke their silence about something, a LONG time after the... something. You need a lengthy period of time of NOT discussing something in public, before you break that silence by... talking about something... in public.
Google it. "Breaks her silence". 96 Millon results. and I rounded down.
That's a lot of people you didn't know were attempting silence, about a lot of... somethings, but.....c'mon.....
Thanks for stopping by.
