Critial Drivel Theory?

Yes, and I found it quite an amusing title...though I may come to regret it in the future. I am Dr. Schwa. It's not my real name of course (though it would be awesome if it was). I am also not a doctor, nor am I a schwa, but the name has grown on me over time. Dr. Schwa is my pseudonym for Youtube, website and a few forums that I visit, so I thought I'd carry it over to MY NEW BLOG. My predictions are that this will as popular as my other internet exploits. That means it will probably only be read by my friends, and a bunch of old Russian men (I have nothing against old Russian men by the way...you'd just have to see my Youtube stats to understand why I say that).

At any rate, I should probably explain the title. The explanation is that there is no explanation. My Critical Theory textbook is sitting next to me, and I find the word drivel to be hilarious, so I stuck them together. I laughed the entire time. This is a perfect example for what this blog will be like: whatever random nonesense is on my mind at the time. I will try not to complain about my sad, boring life here, for this isn't my diary. Instead I'll complain about other people and the things around me. Okay, okay I'll try to refrain from that too. My main objective is to make people laugh....and maybe give some insight on the current condition of some person in some country with some problem yadda yadda blah blah blah. With emphasis on the blah.

Another reason I made this blog was to put off the writing of my poetry and history papers. Both rather large. Both due this week. Both of which I haven't started. Both of which I get an annurysm thinking about. I swear the purpose of University isn't to educate....it's to see how much work you can throw at a student in a given amount of time. The ones that have a thread of sanity left at the end are ready to be spat out into the world as newly reformed, twitching, sleep-deprived, citizens of society. I'm glad we're making the world a better place.

Before I head back to working (aka staring at a blank document until I get bored and start playing Fire Emblem), I thought I'd touch a bit on what I chose for my topic. I chose James Wright's "Today I Was Happy, So I Made This Poem". I decided to do this poem because I was flipping through an archive of "The Explicator" at the school library, and the poem's name jumped out at me. It was perfect. This poetry class has been a thorn in my side all year. I'm not particularly fond of poetry, but I have discovered even I can find some poetry I can relate to...or at least like enough to get me through the course. I wanted to do this poem because a) I found the title amusing, b) I was getting tired of searching for one and c) because it has the potential to make my prof have what I like to call a "wtf moment". I'm looking forward to the moment I have the actual motivation to get this paper done.
