Seek those images that constitute the wild, the lion and the virgin, the harlot and the child. Find in middle air an eagle on the wing, recognize the five that make the Muses sing. | W.B Yeats, Those Images

pow - er

The homosexual French genius, Michel Foucault, built a textual theory upon what he saw as the most fundemental thing in the world - the pursuit and possession of POWER. Of course, in the sphere of humanistic desires, his observations and arguments ring strikingly true; though perhaps he didn’t quite recognize the inherent destruction that all human power leads to (my argument, which perhaps will be elaborated here some other time).

Anyhow, I now have power at my school. (Devious laughter and eyes that seem to glow red). I needed one elective this semester to get a few extra hours in order to graduate in the spring. I attend a small school and so there weren’t that many interesting classes that were available that fitted my schedule and that I qualified for. I ended up selecting a class called Writing for Print Media (having no clue what it would entail, excepting of course, writing). Indeed, maybe the greatest positions of power are always stumbled upon; for soon I realized that the class was responsible for writing the school Newspaper.

The goal is simple: eloquence and persuation will be the tools by which I subvert and subdue the entire student body to my personal agenda; a few short articles from now, I suspect that the first Emporer of MVNU will be crowned… (ah, Napoleon, now I understand you…)
