Why do I spell Muzic with a "Z" you ask?


I have been asked numerous times why I spell muzic with a Z. "Is it that you can't spell?" No it's not that I can't spell -- music -- see I told you. It's that I have a dislike for convention and sometimes I seem to express that dislike in even the slightest almost unconscious ways, for example the spelling of a word. Don't get me wrong convention is great, convention made sure I was fed and had a roof over my head as a child. Convention cleans my teeth, keeps my feet covered. It does a lot of wonderful things but all in all it is boring, almost the same as mediocrity in my eyes. I guess the only folks who have really made things change or happen in this life have been those who were not afraid to be the outliers, those who saw the problems and sheepishness or injustice at times in convention and decided to do something about it. Admittedly changing the spelling of a word does not change the world but it does remind me of my intention at even the smallest level while also somehow pissing some people off. I have been like this since childhood -- I was a weird child and have become in the words of those close to me, a strange adult as well.

  1. Ant, you crasy. (Yes, with an "s"):) But I LOVE that you're blogging, and that you're staying in the creative, and that I know you.

    Have a lovely day.
