chomps of chomsky
Go'now. Read up if you don't know.
Honestly, I hadn't even bothered reading that until today, and I'm not a big fan of Chomsky. But, damn, that subject line just sounded perfect.
I did watch Rebel without a Pause; a couple of years back, however, and I found that I share many sentiments with the man. I share so many of his opinions that his work doesn't interest me for long. It feels a little like old news. Much like this could feel like old news to you right now. I do recall his wife saying something in that documentary that made me remember that I've been acting like a complete slacker for too many years. She says that he is a successful activist because he lives the life of a true activist. He reads a broad spectrum of news everyday. He, basically, eats, sleeps, and breathes academia and current events. Surely he loves his wife and children and all that, but I doubt he clicks around myspace numbly wondering if anyone's posted a new blog about nothing or written some note to him.
I want to be that. What the hell am I doing? What the hell have I been doing? I've been slacking. I've been putting things off for too long. And I am finally feeling the weight of years of useless activity. I'm going to try my best to allow that weight to help push me into a new direction.
