Guh?

Exactly.  That's pretty much how every morning kicks itself off, with a big "guh".  Having been engaged in Cultural Studies for the past 3.5, mainly 4 years, of my life has had this effect on me.  In order to maintain any sort of sanity that I still have left with me, I'm trying this project.

Theory can be fun and exciting to learn but quite often it leaves you with a feeling of "well that was nice but what am I supposed to do with that?"- similar to those useless decorative balls that were popular with the Uppity folks a few years back.   Except, it's not.  Theory can be a liberation of self where it can show operations of power in the world, uncovering struggles and providing ways to fight against power.  It can explain the nature in which humans interpret the world and engage with others. And on and on and on.

So this is what I'm going to do.  No, I'm not going to liberate, I'm no Marxist- no! But, I am going to take a look at the world, everyday mundane activities that I go through as an average hom-hum person, and use some of that theory I've paid so much to learn about.  Maybe it will help me come to terms with this education, maybe it will drive the confusion further, who knows?
