Almost refreshsed, almost new again....

They Might Be Giants - [New York City]--- Working on getting fully back together, here. My goals are all still pretty impeded, so far as thesis work goes, but I've been giving serious thought to something raoin posted about distance learning at the University of Exeter in their MA in Western Esotericism.

Tom Waits - [Russian Dance]--- You heard me. I can't seem to find the paperwork for the work, though. Also, would I be able to work there, while working at GSU, or would I have to end one? I don't know that I'm willing to simply end a program which represents the past 6 years of my life, without a symbol of my achievement, though, if you can understand what I mean, even if they don't respect the work I'm trying to do. I want something that says "Fuck you; I played your game, and I fucking well Won It." You know?

Meeeehhhh, you don't know. (Faith & the Muse - [Fade and Remain]). Every time I talk about this, someone else tells me to play the game, fall in line, compromise, because that's what the world is. Which is about when I tell them that they are spcifically mishearing me, because I don't want to fall in line or have to compromise, any further than I alreaday have, because that's not the way the world should have to be. Which is when they tell me "That may be, but it is what it is." And it Is what it is.

You can't change the what is. You can only change the what will be, by dealing with the what is, in a way that makes a difference. And that's what I plan to do, and what I've always planned to do. The only question, now, is how to procede. What steps can I take, that allow me to do good work, and lay proper ground, while still letting them see that I can play their little game called Academia that they think is called "Life"?

Throwing Muses - [Snakeface]--- Something on which I should meditate, tonight, I believe. I have a few papers to grade, so I'll be off.

Good talking with you, again.
