Memes are interesting field. They attempt to convey a message, whether it be jocular or serious, in just a few words. The message often relies on the image that accompanies it and is written on what appears. A favorite meme of mine is the boy in his marching band uniform with himself playing clarinet super-imposed over his brain. It's called PTSD Clarinet Boy because he is often accompanied by messages of his scaring and ache for revenge or aching in general.
For this entry into Blogger I have myself created a meme that can work both as a vehicle for humor and as a critique for the current system of education we operate under. This is the way I think memes can begin to actually mean something, stand for something even. This is a far fetched idea, seeing as the internet is, but hey, let's be hopeful.
