Don't Judge Me, Bro.

Why can't I be less bad at doing things I want to do before I have to do them? I've been considering a blog for probably close to a year now but I just never bring myself to starting it up. Now, I'm in Creative Writing and I find out I have to have a blog because it's a weekly assignment. Lovely. No, really, it's lovely. I decided to say lovely because I believe it's the only word capable of being as sarcastic as it is sincere at the same time. While I'm relishing in the reality of being so unmotivated of a person that I have to be forced into starting things even I want to do of my own volition, I also get to stew over the fact that if, I mean when, this blog takes off and I'm making a bagillionity dollars a day from my fame and the advertising power of my name... I get to give all the credit to Professor White who forced me to do it. Well, that's not going to actually happen BUT if it did I would be sour about it. On the sincere side, I am actually doing something I've always wanted to do.

Okay, well that didn't have much to do with judging people I suppose. As off topic as it appears it is somewhat relevant. You see, I find introducing myself as an English major to be a bit awkward at times. This is the primary source of reluctance for starting a blog. "BLAH BLAH BLURGY BLAG BLUR YOU NEEDS THE MATHES TO BE SMERT DURP!" You need more than that chief. I prefer free thinking and creativity. I prefer entertaining and being entertained. If you think you're smarter than me because you memorized all the steps on how to calculate complex mathematical problems then I can honestly say you're quite the contrary. You can't judge the intellect of a person off their major, no matter how paid or underpaid the resulting profession is. I'm certain I could memorize those things, too. The difference between you and I is that I don't want to. You'll be paid more but that's fine - you're worth more to those making the money. This is what I want to do. I don't care about having a 6 digit income or retiring early. Who wants to retiring from doing the things that they love? Do you have to be paid for you to want to take a vacation? The world needs "THE MATHES" just as much as it needs its authors, poets, and free thinkers and vice versa. I am culture. You are technology. One without the other is useless. Technology needs culture to create problems to solve for us to advance. Culture needs technology to facilitate easier living so that we can nit pick life, finding all the little problems we need solved. They are separate parts of the same machine of life, we work together or we don't work at all.

Well, indeed a wonderful waste of time. The start of a beautiful friendship. I think it will suit me to make more posts soon. I think next time I'll explain the origin of the name Novakane to you.
