My friends, this will be the winter and spring, and perhaps even the summer of thought.
For the opportunity of too many books to read, and too much to think about has arisen by the powers that be, namely my professors. Luckily for you I'm going to have an overflow of ideas, a natural byproduct of coming to understand all things. Enough with my ranting... on to the good stuff.
Bicyclemark of bicyclemark.org fame did a podcast the other day about Terrorist groups and their politcal entities. Specifically whether these politcal parties should be allowed to conduct in the governments they want to change. I'll refrain from giving any definite statements at the moment, I only heard it this last hour. But obviously I think it's worth consideration, let the diametric process begin!
It's really quite a shame that people only read authors when their wonderful stories are converted into a (sometimes) trite rendition on the silver screen. Trying not to be disheartened by such realities I was upbeat when I enrolled in a philosophy of religion class, concerned entirely with the works of CS Lewis (or, amusingly, Jack as his friends called him). Most pleasingly we don't have to read the Chronicles of Narnia in leu of less allegorical works (but not by much) and this class is packed full. More english majors than I expected, but hell, live and learn, I need to attend class with more than philoosphers, it's hard to win conversations that way.
At the grave risk of scaring all my friends who may happen upon this blog (without my gentle nudgings, I assure you), I do seem to be enjoying my philosphy of religion classes. It amuses, confounds and worries my friends to see me taking so many. Perhaps they fear I'll abandon reason, an unlikely thing I feel. I just thought I'd say that it's most hilarious, but at least the classes are enjoyable. And frankly I'm one for knowing what's going on, and my decisions and arguments should be ones of fact, my examples lacking there of begin with the whitehouse, and just go down from there.
I should say real quick I'm not a political mizer, and do my best to keep my comments a) based on shit I understand and b) to myself. But I'm always up for a round of equal opportunity bashing of political figures. Just for your information.
Work says it's time to do things I'm paid for, except of course deal with humans, that's not in the description.
More will sure to come later on, look ahead for the mental overrun, I'll keep a towel handy. I think the babelfish will have to stay in its bowl, however.
