The True Story of a Moronic Genius

Cleveland, as pathetic as he may be. Is a true existentailist. He believes in himself becuase no one believes in him. He has created his own real life movie. And he stars as the protagonist.
I think that as a child he must have experienced little to no attention; at least positive attention. We can almost picture a young Cleveland, wanting to be a big rock star because all the guys and girls in school looked up to rock stars, and not too many people even took the time to look over at him. His dreams of being a rock star is a psychological attempt in his part, to win over (or change), all the people and the negative experiences of the past that subjected him to feeling unworthy. I obviously, am not a psychologist; however, I once suffered from Cleveland syndrome. I had a band, and wanted to be the best. To do so I would act irrational and treat my band mates as ameans to an end. This eventually drove off some people from working with me. I was trying to fill an empty viod in my life, and was goin about it the worng way. When I returned to college, i was able to build social confidence. Through academic activities, I quickly realized how ethereal all of my dreams were. I then took a completely different approach to music, and began to pace myself and not think of glory. I began to see the intrinsic value in playing music that challenges me, but most importantly, brings me joy. My heart goes out to Cleveland and I hope he can one day find solace.

Please wait...
