The more I work on my thesis the more I want to write. Not write for the paper, but write for this, speak, interact.

Thesis can be entirely too dull and strict and lifeless. It contains a lot of useful information though, so that’s good.

If I could write this shit in my own words I would be done by now or maybe I’d have a novel so brilliant, so exquisite with its word choosing that I would keep it, sell it to a publishing house, sell millions of copies, become famous and then wake up, because “it was all a dream, I used to read word up magazine, Salt ‘n Peppa and Heavy D up in the limousine.”

This thesis is sucking the soul out of me.

It is blood thirsty and unrelenting.

I don’t know what’s the point.

I’ve learned what I’m going to learn in this college.

Everything from here on forward is cruel punishment.

Jerking off with sand paper sounds more appealing.

A dictators world.

You can choose to be a pessimist. The person that takes every scenario and turns it into something bad. Burn all the bridges. Leave no paths to go back to. Keep moving, keep making mistakes until the day maggots are eating your corpse. Never take anyone seriously.

I’m about to be 24 and I’m still living with my parents. I used to think I would be on my own by the the time I hit 22. When I tuned 19 I decided I wanted to become a writer, so I wrote. I started by writing sex stories. When I was 22 I got out of college because it was stupid. Everything was so easy and my classmates had nothing in their heads, their brains weren’t functioning properly. Whatever the teachers said, that’s what would go into their brains. They didn’t question anything. This disgruntled me like no other thing had ever disgruntled me. We are human beings, the only living creatures on this earth that are capable of rationalizing and everyone around me looked like a door knob.

I was in a dictators world with slaves as my peers. I wanted to be free. Free to think and act and do and be. They didn’t want to be free. They like being held down.

In a month I’ll be 24. I hope I’m living off my art by the time I hit 26, or at least well on the way to getting paid. I’m back in school. Only one more class to get that degree. I hope I never have to use it.

Starving artist

Is selling out the worst possible action? I mean, come on, seriously?

You’ve probably heard the never ending trend; writers and artists and musicians and creative minds can’t want the money. They must be fueled by pure inspiration. Doing the art is enough. They should leave the money to the happy people who have actual jobs. You are just a vessel to carry thoughts and ideas.

Think of this: doctors and physical therapists and pilots and lawyers all make a decent amount of money to live in the high middle class. Most poets and musicians and creative minds live poorly. They walk around the city in tattered clothes, looking for anything to make beautiful and they do it, but it usually never pays off. The weird thing is that when people are in their cars, they’re listening to music. If they’re in the train they’re reading. If they’re at home they’re watching TV. On weekends they go to clubs, bars or house parties, drink and listen to music. They fill all the empty moments they don’t have to work with small tiny vacations created by other people whom are usually on the grind, surviving solely on Ramen and water.

“The myth of the starving artist was a hoax.”

That’s a quote taken from Charles Bukowski’s, Factotum novel. I’ve been thinking a lot about that line for a few months now. We have been deceived to believe we don’t need money. The people have been trying to keep the creative mind as a slave to abuse. How many journalists and communications majors graduate to then struggle in the working lane, sometimes years and years before they start making an honest buck. And we allow it, because we’ve been taught that we must love the work above everything else. Trust me, I do, but this is bullshit, I need money.

I refuse to work at an office or a 9 to 5. I’m a free soul. I am an artist.

I’ve never told a doctor to go write me a fucking novel.

Intellectual Watcher

I was listening to an interview on Childish Gambino.

They asked him how he got his name. He said he went on a website where you can get your own Wu-tang Clan name generated.

I went over there, entered my name and got: Intellectual Watcher.

I like the ring to it. I think it fits. Let me know what you think tumblr peeps.

Might be changing my tumblr name.

He asked me for water.

He looked worn,
and beat.

He was working.
I gave him the water.

I knew a guy who became best friends with his computer.

He forgot how to socialize.

He only understood buttons and commands.

Life was being lived outside.

His name is David.

I’ve been slacking and I need to pick my shit up.

Once you start becoming the slave to the master technology,

you will stew in a puddle of yourself.

Day after day,

after day.

Stand up;

things will change.

It always starts off good. The liquor spills out the bottles, a drop of soda to soften the blow and it begins.

I've been writing for years. I've come to realize that ordinary stories are the best stories.

It is better to live an ordinary true life, than an extraordinary fake life.
