We don’t need no education

Daddy Long Legs was telling me he needn’t have gone to law school to study law - with a reasonable grasp of English and access to the right books, he could have become a lawyer all by himself. I don’t mean to sound dense, but isn’t the point of college that you get access to [...]

Back to square one?

Have you ever had a moment of absolute certainty slowly taken apart till you’re no longer even certain you’re you?
A proposal you’ve made in complete confidence been accepted, and then you aren’t so confident any more?
I seem to be at sea, but it might not be a bad place for someone who wants to make [...]

Taxes and singledom

That was the theme for class today, and it was so much fun, I decided to blog it!

Bad poetry arrives
Out of conflicting emotions
And reactions to same-old-same-old
That defy the rules of grammar

So, she decided what [...]

‘Tis over

The madness that I’ve been caught up in is over. Chinmayi blogs about it here, so I shall just talk about general stuff around it.
A lot of obfuscating language, but some delightfully original thinking. A lot of having to think, but also a lot of not being able to, because my head was too heavy. [...]
