i never write in this.
largely, and perhaps most importantly to ensure that no perminant record retelling my lifestyle of illegality is at immadiate hand for the proper authorities who may or may not be wrought with curriosity.
i'm getting sick. sick sick. sucks.
i find myself in a huge rush lately to propell my actions towards a future which i'm not even sure exists. it usually ends in various degrees of unconsciousness.
today i read over 600 pages of victorian children's literature. these stories are probably written in a more advanced diction than most of the garbage that passes for textbooks.
i hate how dumb we're getting, i hate how lazy we've become, and i hate how pacified art has become.
art needs to become dangerous again, to become a social phenomenon as opposed to a cultural one. most importantly it has to become impossible to ignore. whether its portraying absolute beauty or complete fucking terror, i want to create something that is a knife to the throat, a gun to the head of everyone who experiences it.
art needs to be saved.
we need to be saved.
and really, i haven't looked into this yet, but i'm trying to find an aoplogist for the liberal arts, someone who can still purposefully justify the role of an education rooted in the liberl arts.
Is it still relevant to be thought how to think and feel as opposed learning how to actually ‘do’ something?
There isn’t much of a place in the world for romantics anymore.
