A clownfish and a tiny pond
Off I go to do the only thing that has brought me any joy these long months. Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. I have been cleverly cast as, "Clown." I will live up to that name.
Also I've been thinking more and more about my role in academia and how I don't believe that I belong any more. I have learned a great deal in any class that I've ever loved, but the simple truth remains that I have learned more through work. I'm a man's man. A middle class hero who has moved away to expand and grow. I've live the 20's that my parents never could and when it comes down to it, that's all I think I was ever meant to do in college. I'll advance myself the same way anyone in my family ever has and the way it seems that America has forgotten about, go old fashioned hard work. The only difference is that I've had the opportunity to hone my inter-personal skills. I've made friends with those you've never heard of. I've been to the games that made history. I've eaten at the place you read about in books. I've seen the sights that you could only dream of. My only regret so far is that the once again that great ocean of a city in which I live has dried up and grown too small.
