This project is not going well folks.
For the uninitiated, this is what I do. I write papers in my spare time in an effort to become the most fabulously well-read and prolific writer of papers that no one else has ever, EVER read.
I'm really, REALLY underground. =)
This one is a (tentatively 50pg) essay on Ideology as it relates to some aspect of Zionist thought/action. i have many facts. Many sources. But I still don't have it nailed down yet as to what I want to write about. Something to do with the influence of the most radical of the religious zionists and their influence on the mainstream secular movement but I almost want to add the word "obviously" because that's almost umm... Obvious? The Kookist legacy, (Yeshiva Zvi Ben Yehuda and Ravi, his son.. not "kooks" ) and Levinger are guys I want to focus on, but I also want to throw in Kahane because I simultaneously like and despise the guy.
This journal is my scratchpad. This is where I engage in creative or expressive procrastination. This is what I look at when I don't feel like reading or writing. This is me talking to myself, and phrasing it differently just in case someone else reads it. And right now, I'm not feeling good about the project. It's still too big. I am behind. I should have thirty or forty ages done now and should be revising the paper to go deeper into the issues. Finding additional sources... answering questions the paper raises.. creating new ones. I should be coming up with hypotheses on the ways in which thought influences action.
But I'm not.
I need to leave now.
Be well,
P.
