no, i swear i've met them. (i reside in oklahoma)
but honestly, i feel like the most uncultured person sometimes, and i'm cultured! i mean, it's one thing to not want to read books during the school year because of important distractions, but nothing during the break? am i the only one who procrastinates by making lists of books i will read once i get a chance?
this rant can go on a lot longer, you know. and there is one for people who don't understand creative writing. similarly, there is one for people that listen to shitty music. that one is a lot longer and a little more pretentious. there is also one for people who think that they are cultured but really aren't (this is probably one of the greatest sins [and in no way makes me any more pretentious sounding]) - this group includes those that think postal service covered Iron & Wine's song "Such Great Heights", or that the director of Napoleon Dynamite borrowed a lot from Wes Anderson. i could kill a man over the latter.
these rants all lead to the same question, of course. am i more emotional than everyone else so i have to find solace in words and music - OR - am i more emotional because of the words and music i find solace in. reversely, does watching a lot of will smith movies thwart ones ability to think creatively. maybe i am confusing creative and emotional (the difference between malkmus and the cure, no less) [that metaphor was faulty and thrown in simply because my reader won't be "cultured" enough to understand it]
that's all trash.
this is fact:
i'm not upset with my peers for not having the same appreciation for good words/music that i do. i'm upset that i'm not better at making good words/music so that they can appreciate me!
