Off Bullshit

Posted on Nov 13th, 2006 by Lindsey : "I thought you were my boyfriend." Lindsey

Blogs are so random because there are so many things to say, so many potentials in my mind at once. I don't usually choose the best, but rather go for the most convenient.

 I want to give people a snap shot of every thought I have while in this blog space. Though these are just words, it really feels like a space to me. sort of like how a movie is a space or a book is a space... but a blog space is different and more dynamic. Because it is a space within a space in which we can create a space, the space is a contextualized image of whatever aspect I am trying to relate. Okay, so in this blog what I really wanted to do was point out how full of shit I am. Finishing my college career, I really want to end the bull shit, and though I know this isn't going to be easy. Lord knows this faculty of mine is so highly refined through years of public education; it is sad to see such a skill go to waste. I know that this skill can and is used in so many areas of business and politics and life, but I feel like some abstinence is in order. I need to feel the full weight of the world first. No bullshit means no manipulation it is interacting without trying to embody your subjective for the benefit or dismay of others. Also note that when I use this term, I mean it in the way you think, not as in that stupid essay "On Bullshit" by Frankfurt. I can't believe he sold those ten pages of bull shit in and of themselves, as an entire book! Anyway, I don't know what I'm saying I just think as deeply and brilliantly as you can use subtle forms of bs for the most beautiful ends, I want to be free of that for a while as my training comes to an end.


And there you have it... stream of thought by Lindsey

Awesome.  I think I might be feeling proud of you, Linds.  Yup, it's pride.  Sweetness.  :-)
