hello blag. again.
i find it difficult to update this blog as frequently as i should, because i am always signed on to my other blog, petite poems. my other major being english, i like to explore creative writing. which isn't, i guess, a form of media. i have been writing a poem every day (almost) since april. i'm almost up to 300 poems!
poetry could be media if it was wildly famous. like how they usually recite a poem during the inagural address, or other important ceremonies (o captain, my captain!)
but what i like about poetry is the aloneness it requires. i can't sit in a room and read poetry with my friends, like i do with watching 30 rock or the news. its a one on one experience, that can shake you if you let it (and you probably need to read good poetry too. like petite poems! jkjk). so i'm glad it's not part of mainstream media. i'm glad i have to go to the basement of a divebar with a bunch of 20 somethings and pay three dollars to hear a slam. its liberating being off the grid.
