Unfamiliar Familiarity.

The concept of this icon cracks me up every single time. I'm a dork, but this entry is heavily art oriented and mentions God, despite it's relative shortness, so its fine. I got almost everything done except write my one page commentary for the story that we're workshopping in class, but I really find that to be a minor thing that will be easily taken care of when I wake up. Provided that I don't oversleep again.

Class today wasn't too bad. It was a really repeatative discussion on how Hinduism is both monotheistic and polytheistic at the same time and the concept of a nondualistic god. People in my class don't seem to grasp that idea for whatever reason. It makes perfect sense to me. It's monotheistic because you have Bhraman who is the one impersonable god, the monotheistic one. But, because religion is meant to satisify the desires of the people, they need something to relate with, so Shiva, Vishnu, Krishna, etc are all avatars that are incarnations of the deity, allowing for polytheism. So, I didn't really have a crisis after class, which is always appreciated.

Tomorrow, as has already been previously stated, should prove to be interesting. I'm tired because I didn't go to bed until like frickin' 7somethingAM, so I'm just going to stop talking and save my "strength" for relating whatever happens tomorrow, if anything even does. And I'm thinking about going to see the van Gogh exhibit on Wedensday, because the musuem doesn't close until 5.30 and I don't have class until 6PM. And then I'll make a stop that certain things seem to be pushing me toward. Such as it is and such as it goes. Or should I wait until Friday or Saturday when I will have time to recover from what could possibly be very emotional? Because I already freaked myself out by looking at the preview, and despite never seeing this in any book, I know that I've seen this:




It bothers me greatly, knowing that I've experienced this and can't place where. Hrm, I really do not know. Although, the trees are something that makes me excited for other pairings.




But, I shall sleep on this and all other matters. Sorry for the multiple graphics but I don't feel like putting it behind a cut, and hey, at least it's not Gackt for a change.
