Cultivation

My creative node has malfunctioned


Transient cultivation befuddled

Friends missed


'distant

Constant relocation = de-socialization
frequently referred to as 'the new kid'
no point seen in making new friends
- done that 5 or more times over
everyone just becomes an acquaintance

Creatively imbued
but not culturally attuned

Media is the sum of culture
people make up social,
social is to culture creativity

I want the 'amenity' of experiencing
the Cockney 'chav' scene
I want to submerge myself in
the Japanese rock band progression

America has closed itself off to the world
choking its creative possibilities
saturating media outlets with unoriginality'
the mainstream
and slowly becoming unaware
of events elsewhere

I am ready to break my creative rut
I want to experience culture
On a global exposure.

It is so true that this once great innovative country as downwardly saturated itself into a total commercial state. Where everything is the same, and there is no such thing as an original thought anymore. This nation and the world need more free thinkers. It does not matter where you are, always feel free to make your voice heard, no matter what the cost. Never let anyone make you live in a bubble. Only by expressing ourselves freely can we change the world for the better. Continue to create the waves, for the current will one day be in harmony.

Peace, Love, ??N Happiness

Now You have struck to the right spot...Why don't you want to experience the Nepalese culture?
