Blog: For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.

I just found out Hemingway once, on a bet, thought of a complete story in six words.

For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.
- Hemingway

I can't believe I never heard this before.

That's all.

Also, the title of my blog mentions a supposed work-a-hole world; now, I don't know if anyone noticed, but I've been seriously considering becoming a part of this world, going so far as to begin a vocational degree, in teaching, as if such a thing is possible; I still don't know that it is.

I don't mean to separate myself from the world people are in when they're building a library or fitting together links in a causal chain that proves who killed JFK, but I don't feel like this little world my words live in wants to mesh with that world. No matter how many people I attempt to teach something they insist they don't need to know, this world will go on. A cheshire divided against itself CAN stand; and I can stand it.
