Logicless Logic

a break.

i am taking a break from studying late into the night(with sara-jean as my geog crash course teacheress. after all shes staying up for the barca match might as well help me right?). a first in this exams. to talk about what else but exams. to some extent. once geography is over tomorrow, there will be the bane of all humankind and the subject that requires thinking too much out of point. what else but Literature.

some like literature. sometimes i do too. but i only like it to some extent. when it goes overboard, the ideas are very far-fetched. so far fetched that genius people who employ logic do not get. for example how a moon can be linked to death or the word die is linked to sexual climax. and why can't we learn contemporary literature instead of what, Othello? why would i want to kill my brain cells finding links of why a "nigga" wants to marry a white "ho"? it just doesnt make sense. why do people insist on thinking too much over a bunch of words? couldn't shakespeare have written it because he thought it would make a good story, rather than because he wanted to explore human character? i sense weirdness in that.

sometimes, people have a habit of over-complicating things. take a step back and look at the book from another perspective. shakespeare thought that a tragedy involving a black man in a white society would be interesting as a play and could earn him some money to buy some bread and cheese and water so that he could survive in merry ole England. that might be it. i shall write that on my othello answer script.
