Hello everyones, welcome to “Rogue Thought”!
I started this blog mostly because topics of a more serious nature were creeping into my Livejournal account with increasing frequency. I want to keep that one more light-hearted and focused on things like video games, movies, music, anime, etc., but I also felt the itch to write down my musings on deeper subjects that my LJ friends don’t necessarily want to bore themselves with. So, here we are!
The inspiration for the title “Rogue Thought” comes from a quote by Emma Goldman, who said “The political arena leaves one no alternative, one must either be a dunce or a rogue.” Absolute terms that I don’t generally subscribe to myself, but I like it anyway. Of course, the statement applies to more than just the ‘political arena’. In all aspects of society, you either do what you’re told by judges, politicians, priests, parents, bosses, or teachers, toe the line obediently… or you’re a rogue. A criminal. A nuisance. You ask questions. Personally, I like being a rogue. I’m one of those people who never grew out of that habit four-year-olds have of asking questions. Many of the answers I’ve arrived at so far in my short life are radical, some are certainly unpopular as far as social norms go. They may not be the right answers for everyone, but then, I’m not one of you. I’m one of me.
So read if you like, don’t if you don’t, and if you happen to be a fellow rogue, feel free to share some of your own troublesome thinking!
