Finally got time to give this something of a proper response, been at Download all weekend.
Psychology does sound interesting but I’ve never given it any serious thought. It seems that was an oversight!
(who had a dislike of me for some reason ; )Oh I wonder why. Probably the same reason my English teacher never liked me all that much!
couldn’t have followed a logical progression from beer-glass to inebriation, never mind organised a piss-up in a breweryDon’t mind me, just nicking this phrase..
Just be aware that, just as I did, you might find the abstract nature of it dissatisfying when it comes to “but how do we know that to be the case?”I find anything of this nature ever so slightly dissatisfying as opposed to the satisfaction of creating something. Understanding something no matter how well or deeply, just doesn’t have the same kick.
So maybe I should do an apprenticeship in something practical. Welding, probably.
As if I didn’t have enough options already.
All in all you do a wonderful job of exploring and explaining several options I’d considered and several more that I am now considering. Your explanation of Psychology vs Philosophy vs Sociology vs PPE is killer, thanks very much for that.
If what you really want to do is hear the roar of adulation from the masses then you might do better to learn the guitar and form/join a successful band.Shame I have the musical talent of jam sandwich…I’d love to drum my damn heart out. I just don’t have the sense of rhythm, which is of course a big problem for a wannabe drummer.
Music means a lot to me. It didn’t always but it certainly does now. Download has reinforced that a thousand fold. Music unites, unburdens.
To be the uniter, rather than the United. The lifter not the unburdened. That’s the stuff of dreams for me. But likely will always remain so. I’m likely to stick to screaming at the world metaphorically in writing not literally in song.
If you want to make people think then becoming the next Bill Hicks/Terry Pratchett/whoever might be a better path and you’d be better off going to improv/creative writing courses instead.I do like to make people think. Pratchett has had a huge influence on me… But becoming the next one? Not something that can be taught or learnt, in my humble opinion. So on that front I’ll just keep writing, scribbling away from the well of black ink that throbs somewhere within me. Sometimes it strikes a chord, sometimes it doesn’t.
Either way, I scribble therefore I am.
So … as I said … the question is “What do you do … and why?”A perfect way to phrase it. As I said to Southpaw, I don’t know the answer to that question. Yet, anyway.
If I had to try it would be ‘A little bit of everything because I haven’t found/may never find something that lights my soul on fire’
I love to do a great many things. But there’s nothing I love to do. I’m torn between a thousand paths and am in danger of picking none because of it.
The closest thing I have to a passion is motorcycling. It’s the only thing I know that routinely demands and receives every drop of my focus. But it isn’t a job. Or at least I wouldn’t want it to be.
Just gotta keep trying new shit, I guess. Maybe I’ll find a passion, maybe I won’t. Time, and plenty of experimentation, will tell. After all, Life is the Great Experiment, as I like to say.
I didn’t get to be a DJ because I studied Music Theory at college ; )Exactly! I’m under a lot of pressure to go to uni, as most people my age are. But it’s very clearly not the best path to everything, besides the obvious practical subjects.
So all in all… I don’t know who I am yet let alone what I want to to. But I am confident it’ll be something interesting. And probably something dangerous.
So…
