Just another 'Manic Monday'

Feb 16, 2004 18:53

Clay Benson and I were discussing that song this morning. Wouldn't it be ironic and cool to wake up to "Manic Monday" by The Bangles on a Monday morning? Whatever - just a thought we both had this morning in speech class. I'm glad someone else appreciates my randomness and love for 80's music. Speaking of the 80's, I love this freaking album - The Sounds 'Living in America' - I just want to dance around my room! Dancing... that was fun Friday night at the Love/Hate party. I might have drank a little too much, but Claire G. was nice enough to drive me back. Tragically ironic, huh? Oedipus ends up hunting himself - I end up becomming that which I despised for a long time.

You see I am not perfect - not that I expect to be, because I realize perfection is unattainable. Claire A. told me that I seem "perfect" sometimes because I am so good - that this goodness in me must stem from the fact that I am so grounded in my faith, unlike the rest of them. She said that this is an obvious dynamic that is needed in our little group (i.e. The Claires, Caty, and Myself). I'll take that I suppose, but I do not credit my "goodness" to anything I have done. I am sinful and uncapable of any good without Jesus whom I try - sometimes fail - to model myself after. Is this just her opinion or do they see this and appreciate it also? We are all so different -sometimes I feel akward. Am I the only one who is really different? The three of them seem so alike sometimes that I feel unrelateable to them. That is the last thing I want is to seem unrelateable to my own friends.

Here's what I was thinking today: Does Plato's "reality" exist? He says, essentially, that there is matter and there is essence. I know there is matter, but is there essence? And can essence be explained "scientifically".

For example, gravity: Fg = Gm1m2/r2
where:
Fg = The force of gravity
G = The gravitational constant = 6.67*10-11
m1 = One of the masses in the system.
m2 = The other mass in the system.
r = The distance between the two masses.
What if you inserted "God" for the gravitational constant? That would mean that God has complete control of the universe, but it can still be explained "scientifically". This is kind of like theistic evolution. Is this contradictory to the idea of faith if I believe that God can kind of be "proven"?

Okay, I am done - too many thoughts for one day!
