vocation not vacation
I just don't understand people.
I tell them what they want to hear, and then they think I'm not being honest....
I once in a while tell them what they really need to hear
and I get complaints about being "too difficult" or "preachy".
For someone who is a scholar of humanities and regarded by some as an expert, I know very little about such things as conversation without sounding "preachy" , arrogant, and overly analytical.
I think this all re-enforces my idea that as an intellectual I will always have a hard time sounding "less Brainy Smurf".
I refuse to "dumb down" myself for other people. I think this really is why many artists seek out their own kind, and sadly many that I've known, aren't so stable themselves.
