It's been a while


As of now, I am too busy to update this blog as much as I'd like

And for editorials, I sent in one to Ka Leo, but the editor said it was "too short". And so is he.

Anyways, check out this quote from Billy Bob Thornton.

I think Shakespeare's overrated. It's bullshit. I'd never go and see a Shakespeare play," he said, adding that he wasn't inclined to star in one either (not that it's clear that anyone's asked or anything). "Who'd want to see me in 'Hamlet'? Who cares? I don't know why actors do it. Shakespeare is just a bunch of soap operas." And don't go suggesting that the Bard's work is over his head. "It's not that I don't understand it. But people think if you speak with an English accent it somehow makes you smarter," Thornton said. "I don't believe in all the flowery language."

Of course, this would be considered by blasphemy by a lot of literature profs!

But if you like Shakespeare, good for you. Your life, your interests!
