Visual Literacy

I can't help but look at pictures every now and again. Pictures of men with scruff, dark hair, glasses, hipster style.

Hipsternerds.

My new thing. I identify as a hipster nerd. I love hipsternerd things. Old school video games. Pokemon. I like 8-bit Megaman music. I liked Shin Megami Tensei before Persona 3 hit the market. I play card games that no one has ever heard of. I have seen every episode of the Simpsons. DJ Hero is my jam.

But these pictures, they stir my soul. I just want to hold one of them close. The real person though. Not the visual reproduction. I want to see them wake up, sleepy eyed, morning breath, stubble scratching my face as I kiss him on the cheek.

Maybe then this ache will subside.
