American Literature...

I have this huge American Literature project. I have to read over 500 pages of a single author and write a bunch of blogs about what I am reading and feeling, or how the reading relates to the authors life. You know, those weird Lit questions I am talking about. 

I got assigned Jack Kerouac, who I have come to love. I read Doctor Sax, which I don't recommend, and now I am in the process of reading Dharma Bums. I like this book a lot more and now I am writing a blog on this book and it has been called to my attention how much better beatniks are then hipsters. Beatniks were rather unique, created famous literature, and left a lasting impression on generations to come, they never left very strong political opinions because of their rejection of society, but the Beat Generation inspired generations to come. 

They are what inspired hipsters. All them hipsters out there should give the beatniks a nod of approval. Hipsters consider themselves to be unique and to have beatnik (The original hippie is a beatnik with political opinions. Aren't Hippies and hipsters similar?) qualities even though they do not. They have an obsession with trends and taking cool, unique, stuff and making it their own, making things hip. I'm sorry, but I am judging all them hipsters out there after learning so much more about Beatniks and Jack Kerouac. I guess this mean American Literature has ruined modern hipsterism for me. Ooops...American literature makes me want to become a beatnik, reject society and go spend long hours meditating and in the mountains writing haikus.

Haters gonna hate

I hated Kanye West before it was cool. I've hated tons of things before people decided to start hating them. I hate some things you haven't even heard about. I hate some things I don't even know about yet.

Did somebody say Hipster Hate?

Psychosomatic

Educated, intelligent people of the world, why has it become ok to speak like bimbos?

I know intelligent, interesting people, people well past their teenage years, who use terms like ‘awesomeness’. Om nom nom is equally depressing. An acquaintance of mine (a medical doctor) included in a recent facebook status update the “word” boredness, as in ‘I am dying of boredness’. I’m pretty sure she was aware of the word boredom, so why is using cutesy shit words so appealing to her??

And exactly when did it become ok to speak like this? These people I’m referring to aren’t morons nor are they uneducated. It has just become socially acceptable, even a measure of social capital, to speak like a freaking idiot.

I must admit though that even though I am aware, I’m not immune. I’ve been known to adopt the same shitty language as a way of demonstrating I’m part of an ‘in’ group at times. But at least I’ve had the decency to immediately hate myself afterwards.

The pseudo-feminist inside me thinks there is some link with the desire to be youthful or at least to appear non-threatening. Mainly as it appears to be an affliction that predominantly affects females. A variety of baby-talk one can adopt publicly. Obviously no-one, at least no-one worth a damn, will take you seriously while you speak like that. 

I don’t know. It’s all very sad.

On an unrelated note, this is only my second ever post. I am not a writer (but how could anyone tell, it’s all so coherent! Yes, that’s sarcasm right there) but rather a maths/psych grad student with a penchant for statistics. In future I anticipate my posts to be less me complaining about the ridiculously small things that shit me and more about the larger issues I’m exposed to through my choice of education and the general ageing process.

Word of the day: psychosomatic.  You’re welcome x

I HATE IT WHEN HIPSTERS DEFACE BOOKS. Who do you think you are running round wrecking books. Blanking out certain words. WRITE YOUR OWN BOOK GOD DAMN IT. ALL WORDS ARE EQUAL AND DON'T DESERVE TO BE CROSSED OUT! AUTHORS HAVE SLAVED OVER THESE BOOKS. HOW DARE YOU YOU'RE NO LONGER CONSIDERED PART OF THE HUMAN RACE

I wish the life of an artist was as romantic as the hipsters think it is.
