That's the last line of my introduction for this dumb English essay I'm doing about social and political purposes in plays. I think this is the best intro I've ever written. It even starts with a QUOTE!
A GOSH DARN QUOTE!
Aw yeah, this'll be great. Now, if only the task was to write a kick-ass introduction. I still need to write the actual essay. Hah. I swear I've been staring at my screen and books for the past 3 hours, just trying to think of something good to put down on this essay. My biggest problem is that I write too little. And then when I got feedback from my last essay, I was told I wrote too much. Too much! How is that possible! It was only four sides too! It's not like I did a 10 page thesis.
So, I did this awesome intro, and that really took it out of me. So, guess I'll stick with a two side essay then. Hahahaha. Quality over quantity right? WRONG! It's all about mass production. Why make something really fancy, hi-tech and expensive when only a handful of people will buy it, when you can churn out a massive pile of stinkin' dog shit to a hundred billion people. Right? Right. It's logic. It's common sense. It's dumb and I'll never do that.
It's all about finding that sweet, creamy, middle ground I guess. Damn, everything these days is about finding some sort of middle ground. Is this what it means to grow up?
Hahahaha, no, of course not. Otherwise I'd be writing my English essay right now instead of writing this stupid blog post. But I just had to share how proud I am of my intro. But I'll probably get a 5. Cause I always get a 5. But I'll try. I'll try and put a spin on things. Warp it. Maybe I should write my essay like a blog post.
That reminds me, for my music IA I chose the format of a blog. And it is just so phony. I think to get the true experience, I should make a little mini blog, and it'll be my Music IA. Hahaha, you know, that'd probably work. Then I just screen shot every post I do as a page to print. Wicked. I'm gonna do that.
Well, not now of course. I still have that goddamn English essay that only has an introduction. I should write the conclusion too. And then fill in the gaps. I've never done that before, and I was told to experiment. That'd be.. an interesting experiment. But I don't know. I think the hardest part is fishing for quotes that fit. It's one thing talking about characters, but now I gotta talk about socio-politics. Greeaat. I mean that stuff is interesting and all, but what verbal evidence can I extract? There's probably a lot and I just don't realize it. I'm sure when we go over it in class on Wednesday or something I'll be kicking myself over something really obvious that I should have known. That just seems to be the tradition of things.
Day in, day out. Things degrade, things improve. But eventually all the oscillations even out, and you're left with a flat-lining heart in an ambulance on its way to the morgue.
I'm not trying to be cynical. Honest.
