Hello everyone. I think it's nice to start a post by greeting people, I think. So, what have I been up to lately? Nothing. Just going through that process of studying really hard last minute and then wanting to rip my hair off after each test realising that last minute cramming only helps to a certain extent. Oh, correction, that means I have been up to something. Jeeez. Ok moving on to the BIG idea for this post (every writer/blogger wants to have that oh-my-god-the-world-must-know-what-I'm-thinking-about idea).
Arts. Yes, arts. There are so many people out there who label themselves as "art-sy" people just because they took art-related subjects at tertiary or pre-tertiary level. I find this really stupid. What is arts? Mainstream media reckons that arts is just about being weird and different. Wow, they made nuclear physics sound as easy as A-B-C. If being an art-sy person was so easy, every single school-dropout will be saying that they were just daring to be different and that mainstream education pollutes the mind (which is true to a certain extent, but you can't say certain because it shows that you're sitting on the fence and that you're not willing to commit to the idea). The fact that you claim to be an arts student is alright, it shows that you're learning the real meaning of the word. But that you claim to be the very word itself, is just pure nonsense. No one is the exact meaning of a certain word. Saying something like, "He's a real gentleman" doesn't mean that-that person is one. That is YOUR definition, YOUR view, of the word which has already been influenced by the media, society and that thing called the DICTIONARY. Perfection is not something you can flirt with, but then again, it's good to strive for perfection. I hate the dictionary by the way. It's a propaganda book. It limits your mind to think a certain way.
Guess what, that was an extract from the book I'm currently writing which I hope to publish on my own. Do stay tune to my blog for an update on my book which I hope to release early 2008. Thank you for your patience in reading through this post, public is always right; well, that's what the media tells me.
