Philosophy gets a kick in the ass
For those of you who knew that I was planning on working towards a minor in Philosophy, I should probably tell you that that is no longer the plan. It's not that the class load I'm taking is overwhelming (although it does have the tendency to suck giant exploding monkey balls), it's more that the term 'philosophy' isn't quite defined at the scholarly level in quite the manner that I like to think of it. There's more talk of logic, predication, and other matters that I find completely irrelevant to philosophical, moral, or ethical discussions that I find so interesting. So the question arises: "Is there anything else I could minor in?" Physics was a thought, but we don't offer any certification here in that, and the next class up from the one I'm taking is an independent study. A minor in computer studies is a possibility; I may never reach the prowess of Chancellor Heaton, but being the close second has never bothered me.
International Insanity
Musing has gone global. Oh yeah. My first off-continent hit came last Thursday, out of London, England. I love you, London! lol I've also finally hit the West Coast. San Jose, you've got my lovin' too. Next goal: the European mainland. Oh yeah, and speaking of London...
Impossible Life Goal #1
or "What I Would Do With $1 Million Dollars, Part I"
I would get tickets to see Oasis in London and totally party my brains out. As long as I got reasonable seats, I think I could die happy as soon as the concert finishes. I can tell by the looks you're giving the screen that you don't think I could "party my brains out." With a million dollars? In London? Hey, if that could happen, anything could happen. It should be enough just getting the contact buzz from being in the audience.
