the Art of Conversation


Greetings from a library on Madison Avenue in New York City.

In this fast paced, immensely and densely populated urban mecca, one is bound to inevitably engage in conversation. It is possible to go a day without physically talking to another human, yet this may not suit one's personality.

What do you like to talk and converse about? What are your favorite stories, topics, industries, and outlets for discussion? Do you mind talking about yourself? Or, are your more interested in others?

Personally, am proud of certain elements and life accomplishments achieved at youthful ages, thus far. Often, enjoy sharing them. For example, my southern Texan pride and mantras. Also, stories from being a guest attendant at www.hotelgansevoort.com in the Meatpacking District of New York City. Modeling on behalf of www.abercrombie.com in Manhattan, and so forth.........www.linkedin.com/in/georgevance...

Yet, personal bios aside, believe being topical and "in the moment" may be the best way to go. For example, discussing news, entertainment or weather? Also, perhaps posing friendly questions, such as nation originality or neighborhood preferences? Being able to adjust mid conversation and go with the flow is a skill. Realizing conversation and groups are more than just a one way street. Being OPEN MINDED to different ideas and avenues for chat. What do you think? What is the Art of Conversation?

Best Life Wishes..

I like to ask people what they're doing for the weekend. Since I'm off Saturday and Sunday I usually have plans myself but it's interesting hearing other peoples agendas and sometimes it's worth checking out

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Image
Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

People and their PETS.

Image
In the style of Jerry Seinfeld, " What's the deal with people and their pets? Dogs especially. What is the mass human attraction to dogs as pets? What in the minds and soul attracts humans to caring for, paying, walking and being an owner for these animals? Please help me understand . I mean, in my humble opinion, the negatives for dogs are, they can't talk with humans. A dog will never be able to speak and converse with their owner. Also they must constantly be cared for, bathed, walked, fed, leashed, cleaned up after and more. What joy do these dogs and animals bring? In addition dogs cause destruction to real estate, & are tough to constantly care for. They also smell and are not universally loved or accepted by guests. Am I not being OPEN MINDFUL to dogs and pets? If so please share their positives for me. I am not perfect, and can recognize mistakes and being wrong. Some perhaps better alternatives to dogs, are, ready, friends, girlfriends, significant o

How are we ENTERTAINED?

DO you like to be entertained? IF your human, most people do and enjoy laughter, muses, lights and more. Just like the Kings and Jesters of yesteryear, in the modern age, we love ENTERTAINMENT too! Are you OPEN MINDFUL to different forms on entertainment? Which are your favorites? For example, off of the top of my head, I can think of books, live music, movies, television, broadway shows, bars & nightclubs, restaurants, stores, shopping malls, stand up comics, vacations, social media, friends, and the such. Am I leaving your favorite form out? Personally, I am open minded to various forms of entertainment. I love tv, live music, and nightlife. Yet, as the entertainment field changes and morphs, could be up for anything fresh? What are your favorite forms? Do you abstain from entertainment? Could this even be possible? In so as fas as an industry, would ENTERTAINMENT be fun to work in? Recently a fellow local Austinite, mentioned, I should try out ACTING for a year. It wa
