"At least as far as Anthropology goes, two things are certain in the long run: one is that we’ll all be dead; but another is that we’ll all be wrong. Clearly, a good scholarly career is where the first comes before the second." - Marshall Sahlins
Anthropology is an abyss and there is no turning back! Fine, we've settled that, finally. (It wasn't that easy for me to come this far.) Now, since I'm trying to make things easier for myself to go on with what I do, that is to continue to be a student of anthropology, I tried to start this blog. (Well, also I'm in the exam period, as you would imagine..)
What is my objective? Ehmm.. Nothing! I'm just bored and I want to share my twisted sense of humor with my audience. In fact, that's the most important characteristic of anthropologists: having a twisted sense of humor. Because they have no other choice! So wait for juicy stuff in this blog. But before that, let's pray for me:
"Dear God, please take me from this world before I realize that all my theories were wrong. Amen."
(If he honors my wish, I'll have a fantabulous scholarly career before it's realized. Oh I love fooling God!)
