Money Money Money
I don’t get it. Money money money, it’s a rich man’s world. I’m not a company…. but I want to make art…. so I should pretend to be one? I don’t get it….. I’m in this professional practices class. It’s so very strange… the more I learn, the more I dislike what I’m learning. There’s one side of it which is ‘social media, social media’, which is a pain in the ass to me personally… y’know, these social thingies, newsletters and whatnot…. but then specifically with some of the newsletter techniques and stuff…. it does feel a bit manipulative, and I guess it is by design. One the one hand, I want to learn the stuff so maybe some ofit i can use… y’know, so I’m not a complete dope…. but all the same…. it feels like I’m being pushed to join the crowd, be like everybody else…. be like everything else…. Its hard to figure this out…. how to not be a total rube, but still use the things I learn…. I’m not a company. I don’t want to neccessarily present myself as one…… and yet…. that seems to be the way of things. I don’t hate companies, often times they’re pretty useful, but I don’t really like them either. I…. this is my first foray into the world of business, and I don’t like it….. but maybe once I overcome this hump…. maybe, just maybe, I’ll have become more complete for it….. maybe if I can treat this like stealing secrets…. maybe my soul, which hungers for secrets, will get used to this faster.
