I entered the literary world, really, from outside. my entire background has been in sciences; i was a biology major in college, then went to medical school. i've never had any formal training in writing. so what i know about writing, i know from my own instincts, and whatever the narrative voice is in my own head.

I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

I went to oberlin college, and they don't have a film major, but they do have what's called an individual major, where you can sort of pitch to a committee your own course study, and if they approve it, you have essentially just designed your own major. so oberlin doesn't have a film major; they do have a film minor... and then my spring semester of my junior year, i went off to nyu film school as a visiting student - they have a program for kids from other schools to come in for a semester.

Up until then it had only been himself. up to then it had been a private wrestle between him and himself. nobody else much entered into it. after the people came into it he was, of course, a different man. everything had changed then and he was no longer the virgin, with the virgin's right to insist upon platonic love. life, in time, takes every maidenhead, even if it has to dry it up; it does not matter how the owner wants to keep it. up to then he had been the young idealist. but he could not stay there. not after the other people entered into it.

I don't know if one's more typecasting than the other, or what i am more like. but i know that the high school i went to was a private school. it was prep school. it was a boarding school. so we didn't have a shop class. we didn't have saturday detention. we went to school on saturday. we did have sunday study, which you very rarely get, because then you have 13 straight days of school. who wants that?

I went to college. i had a double major in biology and physical education, but my major was wrestling.

The democrats, because they are the media, still establish the narrative for washington every day. and whatever that narrative is, the republicans - for some reason (i think it's force of habit and years and years of conditioning) - still become subservient to whatever that narrative is.

Let me ask you, if bannon leaves the white house, he resigns or is fired, and then starts and goes back to breitbart or goes on tv and radio every night and starts down-talking trump, is it gonna convince to you abandon trump? it won't. but apparently there's people inside the white house who think that bannon has that power. that nobody else, only trump and bannon could actually destroy the trump connection with his base.
