I decided I'm going to be hot shit and get ahead of the game by starting on reading my psych book tonight (class starts monday). I am not even a full page in and I had to stop and just say, I am totally in love with this so far. Chapter one page one of the book is the intro, what psychology really is. Not the pop psych shit that everyone is hopping all over these days. I swear to God the paragraphs could have been written by me the way they are phrased.
Not that I am trying to say that I think I am smart enough to write an intro to psych book, but it's just funny how they start off by telling you that what psychology is, is not what popular belief thinks it is. I giggle all the time because people tell me I should read X book on how to manage this and X book on how to do that...I am not much for self help books. I think the majority of them are just loads of hot garbage waiting to be put in the land fill of literature.
I'm not dogging on those of you who firmly believe that they hold all the secrets to life. It's pop psych...popular psychology...so of obviously plenty of people buy the books on why your life sucks and what you can do about it.
I've always been interested in psychology. Probably because I am more than a little demented myself and like to know the possible causes. I have a really good friend who is a psychologist. I've known him for 10 years, and I figure if he hasn't figured it out by now, my secrets are safe from the rest of the universe. I think that he secretly knows, and is writing a book about the new kind of crazy he has discovered inside my mind in the past decade.
I couldn't leave my loyal followers without a blog today. A blog a day whether I think I have anything to talk about or not. That is my goal. I'm giving all you wonderful people a glimpse into this twisted mind and life of mine. If you truly enjoy reading all this rambling, maybe you should ask yourself...what kind of crazy am I? the answer my friends is quite clear. You my friends, are batshit crazy, and that's just the way I like ya!
