They are throwing those words around. "Core" subjects, streamline, resource sharing, budget, future, technology, justify, exemplar... I see this future coming and it will not let me pretend that I can sit back and bury my head to let my bigger dreams pass. The future is a dog nudging my hand over and over in its loyal persistence. See me, see me, see me, see me, such constancy. I am in the mood to slay the gods, of the normative mainstream. I am in the mood to shine and fight the silencing of my own vision to fit the status quo. Nudge, nudge, nudge, like a loyal dog I nudge you. Face your fear and leap. The world needs your light not your conformity. Do not get tied to their ribbons.
