random thoughts on the future of myself
Monday, August 4, 2008
Alright, I have nothing to do. Correction, I have no motivation to do anything besides blog about randomness. When I say randomness, I have a vision and direction, so it's anything but. If you don't like to read stop here. I've been thinking about this for the longest time. I'm gonna be and IST major right? What the hell does that even mean? What do I want it to mean? and can it mean what I want it to? Am I destined to sit behind a desk sorting through millions of lines of bank software code for the year 2000 switch(Office Space reference which makes me cool, right?...)? Who the hell knows.
What I do know is what I want to do. However there is a somehow simultaneously clear and murky line between what I feel like I'll be doing as an IST major, in my job description out of college, and what I want to do. What I want to do is create or something like that. Something like facebook, but simpler. Something like myspace but more mature. Something like purevolume, but more accessible. Something like buzznet, but less like every social network threw up on itself... I don't want you to need a degree to navigate my site (which by the way does not exist other than in my criticisms of other social networks), but I want it to have depth. Kinda like a video game that's easy to get into, but you could spend hours tweaking your skill trees and your magic spell repertoire until they are both seemingly infinite.
Or do I even want that?
Is it even possible to achieve? Or by finalizing my IST major, does that mean I'm going to be some bullshit security analyst for some 'firm' that's named after two rich douche bags?
Fuck that!!
See what I mean??
I kinda want a way for bands to kick ass, via the internet, minus the label, but with all the perks of a distro deal and shit, PR and all that. Would that be like a marketing firm with a business side? What the hell am i even talking about right now??
Do you see how confusing this is for me?
Am I looking to be just a music nerd with a cool idea, or an IST kid who is super into music? Or neither?
The bottom line is:
If I could tour in a band that didn't suck ass or OD on alcohol every night and still "make a living", I would. Until then, I'm confused, and I know I'm moving in some direction, although I don't know up from down.
