However, coming from personal experience, the inside, no matter how great, is much like a city. There are historic areas, where memories of the past are, there is the business area, where much of the day to day is performed, and the area of the arts, where much of our spirit, I believe, is located. There you find the love, passion, art, and much of the other ineffable factors of life. However, the other part of the city, which no one really likes to talk about, though we all know it's there, is that part where there's a lot of barbed wire, and you carry your money is your sock for protection. The key is to learn about Mind City through small, consistent efforts. Soon you don't have to spend all your time in the business or art section, but find the other, hidden areas of Mind City. The hole in the wall where the nicest people you've ever met are, and there is where they provide you the most succulent thought burger you've ever had. The mind can be a dark place, just like any city. Spend your time getting to know every part though, and you'll appreciate it so much more.<br /><br />--PapiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693471143220681808.post-17144615891399986502011-02-25T17:30:23.590-05:002011-02-25T17:30:23.590-05:00zmkc -- Read your link -- sounds like your school ...zmkc -- Read your link -- sounds like your school was much like the rest of the world: it gave a lot of lip-service to creativity, but in the end pushed the old Gradgrind philosophy. You're absolutely right: to those who love to communicate, blogging is a lot of fun. I hope, also, that it can serve a purpose. In either case, it is indeed best to avoid anyone who would dictate the direction of our creativity.Chris Matarazzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17885109959459471509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693471143220681808.post-45020319515951823902011-02-25T16:03:57.850-05:002011-02-25T16:03:57.850-05:00Blogging is not a job.

Asking you why you don't write about current events is like asking someone why they collect stamps instead of mountain bike riding. 'Because I enjoy collecting stamps, obviously.' There are a lot of people about these days who don't entirely approve of innocent pleasure; they are probably worth avoiding.
