my brain tumor

[helenmelon]

ok. so here's what i've decided. the reason i still get dizzy when i'm walking around is either because i have some kind of ear thing, or i have a brain tumor. those seem like my logical options. and at least if it's a brain tumor i have, i won't have to keep trying to find a job:) i can just read, write, visit friends, and eat unhealthy food

Post-modernism is so illogical it's down right funny. Of course post-modernist philosophers hate terms like "illogical" because logic deals with absolutes. :)

I hope it isn't a brain tumor. Are you going to see a doctor about it? If it's affecting you a lot, you really should (and this is coming from a guy who avoids doctors at all cost!:P) I seriously hope you're all right.

I think you're right about death not being the worse thing. It certainly isn't if you're saved. John Bunyan talked about that in his "Pilgrim's Progress". (One of my favorite christian allegories of all time).

naw, it's not affecting me very much at all:) it's just a little annoying. i guess i'll probably go to the doctor for my throat, if nothing else.

pilgrim's progress... i'm pretty sure i read that for a class. have you read "pilgrim's regress"? i've been meaning to for a while, since i own a copy. lewis, of course.

Yeah, I've read about half of it I think. It's one of those countless books I never finished though. I'll have to re-read it some time (and actually finish it!)

Speaking of novels with the word "Progress" in them ;) there were actually two "Pilgrim's Progress" books, and both are really good. In the second one, Christian's wife is the main character. I think that probably makes it especially interesting since I don't think women were usually the adventurous protagonists in 17th century literature.
