(no subject)
i have wanted to write here (hear) lately but haven't really found the words, voice & content to do so.
facts!
1)i just began reading william james' pragmatism. i have never read a philosophy or system that i have really adopted; i always just take bits and pieces. what i read tonight gave me some good words&classifications to help describe methods that i already use. i am pumped.
2)lately i feel that i have truly begun to move past irony in viewing things around me. at this point i can sincerely appreciate somebody else's actions or words, no matter how deplorable they may seem to me. how hard to find the words to describe this well! just a general amazement at everything (this is nothing new to me, as you may already understand), but on a different level at this point. i suppose i will leave it at that. ask me about it if you want clarification. as a matter of fact, i encourage you to ask me about it, as it will help me to develop some words&explanations for it that i don't currently have.
3)i just finished reading a book on einstein's theory of relativity. the most amazing things are true (as far as the limits of our current scientific observations can show us)! it seems that sometimes people think that the awe of things is "explained away" by science, but to me it is quite the opposite. things exist!!!
4)refer to sk's most recent post and then allow me to tell you that i have been thinking about many of these things as well. entertain (as i am) the following conditions: a) living with shawn and maybe/possibly/hopefully alix; b) having my job be riding bikes; c) learning capoeira three nights a week still; d) taking a class or two to keep up with school; e)playing music with shawn.
5)to expatiate one of the conditions mentioned above: capoeira. i go three nights a week. for about a year now, it has been in my head on and off. to finally begin learning is to satisfy quite a desire! how fantastic to just be able to move around, and learn new movements and experiment and try things out. anything that begins with a cartwheel (i feel that i can most safely say this, save for perhaps some terribly preposterous situation that i have thus far not considered) is great by my standards!
okay so! this is some of me for now.
