R escue crews headed up

I love the deer

T o practice rescue

I think there were more people

N antucket or any other island

G ive bridge seismic update


Emotion: Lost/anxiety

Behind every door I walk through is a potential maze. Though I'm among the thousands, on top of civilians of a mini city striving for a similar single piece of paper, I know no one and speak to no one. So I do what I assume everyone else is doing and pretend I own the campus. Right, right. You know, I even have magical arrows pointed under each foot telling me where to go . But honestly, I'm holding my breath with my every passing step, praying my dunce hat isn't showing. What? Free corn on the cobb? No, no, don't get distracted. I'm already lost before I start.





Collective Class Creative Writing


C larity wanted close carelessness paper

R eality shows already generate water cooler

A rt form toy technical

T hat's the best we can do

I think there are more people

R elationship with one particular member

I magine theater left screen sign entirely

T akeover taxpayers are paying millions dollars

I nternet

N antucket any other island

G lobalization admires John F. Kennedy





In Kenneth Goldsmith's Being Boring, he made it easy to relate when poking fun of himself. I feel I often try to recreate the same thing I write by putting on a different, let's say, outfit. It's still the same thing with a different spin on it. I too, feel like every once and a while I am "hoarding" from other ideas that weren't necessarily my own. Often, I may hear or read something, and I try to file it away in my head to use again in a new way. I would prefer to just simply absorb it and let the idea makes its way out when it's time. The different concepts of boring, "boring boring" and "unboring boring," I feel is just another way of saying when we run out of things we go back to the past. Look at fashion. Vintage is and seems to be always in. And I guess the 80's is back, god knows why. Personally, I hate neon. I also understand what Goldsmith means about putting an unboring spin on boring things. His example: Reality shows, a concept I've never enjoyed. However, it takes a normal thing... someone else living their life, conveniently condensed a 30 minute time slot with random road blocks. I may not enjoy it but I understand its entertainment capability.
