aesthetics

That's ultimately why I'm not keen for uni; at the level I'm at, it's really an aesthetic rather than a technical debate about the inherent value of my music. So, if they dislike my music, then why would I study with them? I'm not a status symbol or an accessory: I'm pursuing my own path, and that's paid huge dividends. While with my film career, I'm not terribly keen to work with students, and while I miss teaching, I'm not interested in academia as a venue.

- Let's be blunt: my Ad did not mention VUW by name. The Beach Song wasn't part of the musical people thought it was for... my 2030 musical is the one it was for. And honestly, I'm entitled to my opinions and my criticisms. It's a moral stand that I don't set foot on the campus: I simply have no desire to be told how to live by a bunch of pussies who have never put their arse on the line. Not returning, and ultimately I don't have to because I can simply not apply. I'd rather go to jail, and they can accept that. I hate writing these. I'm not doing it.
