Being Smart Is Stupid.

 I hate smart people. Nerds, geniuses, intellectuals, etc., all fall under that category. What even defines that? A diploma? A degree? The amount of books you've read or movies you've seen? I feel like my interests seem to be considered to be under the pretentious umbrella of "fine art". Paintings, books, and film are things I am passionate about, but rarely do I meet people who aren't up their own rump about it. I want to be an idiot, in fact I strive for it. That alone makes me one. I long for the days where my head was empty, filled with nothing. Now, I think far too much about everything. Frustration has built up, caused by interactions with people who don't know anything about anything. Those who strive to be smart are always the dumbest. So maybe I should pursue this whole "intellectual" thing. Maybe then I will be happy.

Departing From The Sea Of Reels

 Tonight, I said farewell to Instagram. It's not permanent, and I doubt it will be long, but I attempting to stay off the app so I can get my s*** together. I logged entries in both Goodreads and Letterboxd this morning, and it reminded me that I enjoy reading and watching movies. I also have grades that are not that great, so I am going to try and put more energy towards that ish. Heartbreaking news was broken to me earlier, and it will take a lot of time and energy to try and deal with it, and Instagram is the last place I need to be on to deal with it. It seems I have only been thrown curveballs and dealt bad hands the past six or so months. I hope things get better. One of the only things I am looking forward to at all in my life is going to Philadelphia and New York City next week. I am playing a show that Thursday night in Philly, staying the night, then going to hang out in New York for the weekend. The Metrograph is showing one of my all-time favorites and I am hoping to catch it there. Seeing a movie at The Metrograph would be the first thing crossed off of my bucket list. I am also getting tattoos from two of my awesome friends, which I cannot wait for. That's about all I have going for me in my life right now. Whatever.
