What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?

My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

A Dream Derailed

Extract the reality from the banality
That is every day, every moment.

Let’s take it back to when ideas
Would swarm, spin, reorganize
Like nanobots playing musical chairs
Or epistemological spoons.

Look me in the eye and tell me
That this isn’t a fickle façade.

The whirring white noise is
Unsettling, I’m surrounded by sound
To which my mind attributes no meaning
But my body graces with a smile.

What is continuity, what is change,
What the hell is progress? Growth?

Am I moving forward, sliding backward,
Standing balanced on my pedestal?
Knock me off, please, I want to feel
Real, raw, drained out and rejuvenated.

Please, don’t let the winds take my flesh
And leave what’s left to crawl behind.

    The images are a little convoluted by the fact there are so many of them, this may be on purpose, because I like how they're connected with the nerd-tech metaphors.
