On my college hiatus. Redundancy has never sat well with me, so I try to avoid sitting next to it as often as I can. I believe the best way of gaining knowledge is to be self-taught, agreeing with Thomas Young. Hence, the whole "college degree" process, despite my decent potential for academic success, has presented me with some difficulty. (cough) Unfortunately, bullshit proof and glossy validation are deemed neccessary accoutrements for a success-there it is again-ful life in this subnature. I've kept the Big Questions in the forefront of my thoughts for quite some time, but the small ones nag me to the point where I now see I must settle or subdue as many of those as I can to enjoy the continuation of a larger perspective that, through this point, has merely existed because of dependence. If it hasn't been noticed, my writing tends to be dense, vague, and riddled with borderline run-ons; I've been trying to inject mediocre filllers between the purple prose for coherency's sake, but, as is obvious, it hasn't gone smoothly. Aside from all that, I still enjoy writing--and reading to boot! Really, anything figuratively approaching concepts of infinity under the heading of art--be it music, painting, writing, et cetera--and literally approaching infinity or c in mathematics/science is of great interest to me. Nevertheless, I will most likely be adding a few prose or poetry pieces here and there, and a fiction if I'm lucky. I will be in Greenwich Village over the summer, hopefully running water through my gills.
