A year out...wow
So its been over a year since i did anything here. That's what I get for clearing my history bar.....out of sight out of mind. Hello to everyone. Its been a hermetic year and I will likely continue this stint indefinitely. My brain is tired. Vacations are never restful. I spent all day yesterday cleaning cat cages for a local shelter, before that long overdue errands. And the reading list grows higher.
I'm reading All that is Solid Melts into Air by Marshal Berman. I think it is the other half of my sensei's notes from senior year. If only I'd known that then. It rocks. Anyone hating on Marx can shove it and then maybe actually read what he said and not give into a societal knee jerk reaction. Humanities degrees exist for a reason.
Why is it discourse about modernity and the paradigm shifts within it, with all of the chaos and decay of meaning some how are calming to me? Do i harmonize with discord or just like the pretty words. mmmmm mmm theory. All is philosophy.
which reminds me. Slavoj Zizek is coming to Loyola in November. I'm in the faculty reading group that's putting it on if anyone needs info.
I need coffee.
