A return, and a possible change in “content”

Okay, back in the “blogging” mood. It seems to happen every now and then when I return to University. I have more to talk about, and frankly a bigger urge to just procrastinate about everything. Also I think the academic environment really helps me think about more “important” (I use that word very loosely) issues. I simply mean topics that are beyond the party last Friday night, the bad date I went on, or that asshole who keeps talking behind my back… or some other self-obsessed rambling.

Now, for this “change in content” as I put it in the title. I’m not entirely sure what the results will be, but I’m starting to feel that I’ve been holding myself back from truly expressing myself. There’s a lot of opinions that I want to get out there, but I’m pretty sure I will be scorned for having them. (I’m not the most “politically correct”). I am polite, and I am conscious of what is politically correct… but to be honest, I’m tired of it. For example: Merry Christmas. I’m not even Christian, but fuck you – that’s the holiday that I celebrate.

I try and describe where I fit on the spectrum of beliefs. Politically I would definitely believe I lean more towards the left… I have a communist poster on my wall, V for Vendetta is one of my favourite (blockbuster) movies ever. Now, I’m not a rampant communist… I just hate capitalism. Moving on: I also see myself as a sort of “classicist” in my view of society. I love technology, I love it’s benefits, but I hate how it has shaped society… downplayed the importance of the intellectual. I’ve never read much steampunk literature, but I think if it were a reality I’d be in heaven. Victorian culture, moden technology. Now that’s my ideal society.

We’ll see what comes of this in the end, to be honest I really don’t know… I’ve been gone for so long, it’s not like anyone is reading this anymore anyway.
