College?

I want to go to college, just don't know where yet. Thinking about possibly going out of state, Seattle? Who knows anything is possible, only time can tell. Until next time...

What the deuce

When it comes to the believers of existentialism, there are 2 types of people. There are those who accept it, and hold it to be a working reality. Then there are those who accpet it, but refuse to consider it a representation of reality. Who is wrong and who is right? Both sides have very strong arguements, but there is no conclusion. In the end it leads to a series of questions, is nothing in essence something? Is the absent taste of water within itself a taste?... well you get the picture. It all comes down to are you a man (used loosely) of faith, or science? Existentialism or... the oppositite of existentialism (can't think of the correct termonology off the top of my mind). There are some things which you just can not prove, because we don't have the capacity to measure or analyze some things. So if we are unable to measure/analyze something, we are unable to study it and deduce a conclusion. Then do we not rely on good faith to accept certain things? I guess it goes both ways.
Now you may have noticed the word "things" in the line above is in bold. The word "thing" is so impersonal, it generalizes, its vauge, its not convincing. So to give my sentence more substance, we can examine the function of curreny vis-à-vis money. Money only works if we believe in it. It has become something that is heavily computerized, there are countless accounts of money globally. Almost everyone has a bank account now, but there is not enough physical money to represent the inherent wealth of everyone. In fact if Bill Gates, one of the wealthiest men on earth, withdrew all of his money our economy would not support itself and collapse... true story. Still have the same idea of money?
I guess what I concluded in the time of typing all this is, despite our invididual perceptions we should be open minded. Everything is peachy keen in moderation. Don't be so quick to shoot something down at first encounter. With that being said I leave you with this...

There was an owl who lived in an oak.
The more he heard the less he spoke.
The less he spoke, the more he heard.
We all should be like that wise old bird.




Wise owl indeed...

4th of July weekend

I went camping this 4th of July weekend with about 70 famlies or so... yeah it sounds pretty crazy doesn't it? But everyone who went were friends of my parents and their families so I don't really associate with any of the kids my age. I've gone to outings like this with them before, I just don't really have anything in common with them so I'd rather keep to myself. There is nothing to do at this campsite. No lake nothing. Just a lot of trees and dirt.
So, what does one bring to a "solo" 3 day 2 night outing? well i loaded my ipod with some new music. A lot of it was Tegan and Sara, I've known about them for some time now but I just never bothered to listen to their music, so I spent a lot of time listening to them these past 3 days. On top of that, I realized that I have never read the final Harry Potter book so I started. Its pretty good, I read a lot in my tent to a) kill time b) get out of the cold c) get away from annoying little kids d) just to read. Sweet deal. Over half way done, Hooked on Harry! Lastly I brought my skateboard to cruise around, it was fun riding around. The roads were surprisingly good. But I was limited to extremely remedial skating. I wish I was better.
I want to be like this guy. Check out his sexy tre bomb.



oh how i envy you.
