Explanations Without Apologies

So, I've decided not to move my older posts to this blog. I'm content with their current placement; most of them had bits of information relevant to the class, anyway.

Not thinking about much lately, at least, not pondering things I'd like to blog about. One could say, I'm in a bit of a slump, but I'm happy in this slump. Lost in the ignorant bliss of writing terrible poetry and listening to 'The Smiths' and 'Joy Division.' I've always related to this music, but I'm happy to say I can't now. I simply enjoy the sounds and the reinforcement of empathy.

My poetry seems to be flourishing. I think I want to be a failed poet; my meter is generally much too classic and I still use rhyme schemes, but my vernacular is obviously modern. I'll never have to worry about the burden of genius, maybe a personal perception of brilliance or importance, but never genius.
