Cubism

After 30 years of going back and forth, i finally solved my rubik's cube last night. Yes, i consulted some guides and finally understood some of the words in them, thereby seeing through the pattern. The experience is similar to be able to view the real world in a green matrix, albeit no bitchin' shades and trench coats. Now, it's just a matter of getting the algorithm down pat (as in memorized). With this remarkable triumph of the human spirit over IQ limitations comes the inevitable question: Now what? More importantly, so what? After a few decades, this accomplishment by itself, is more of a too-little, too-late effort. The last time the cube was cool, oversized shades were in vogue. But solving the cube was on my list, damnit, and i have prevailed. Never mind it took three decades, a google search and countless knockoffs. Now all i need to do is find the few people who actually know what a rubik's cube is... ...and who actually care.
