So when you are writing a paper sometimes you get bored and since the internet is right at your fingertips, one tend to wander. At any rate, check this out: Heidegger on MySpace!

I haven't quite finalized anything and am looking for input on how to make it funnier. Enjoy!

"I will only watch Charlie Chaplin movies, he's just so devilish!"

Hehehe.

I was inspired because I found a Charlie Chaplin reference in some obscure text last spring and thought it was hilarious. Imagine this: in a darkened theatre, Heidegger sitting there laughing aloud to the little tramp being chased around on rollerskates in a department store by security guards!

the very idea of Heidegger enjoying himself at such hings is entertaining to me. :-)

I have always wanted to start up a myspace account for a philosopher, but I'm not confident enough in the facts of any one person to do it. Props on doing it well!

Hey Buddy!

Why thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it! Keep an eye out for Heidegger's future blog entries--I'm not saying anything in particular, but I have a feeling that the insanity is only beginning over there as my own action precipitated two of my friends starting their own "philosopher's" pages...

In the immortal words of Bill: "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K!"

that's the best thing i've seen in a long time...

DAVID BOWIE!!! Hehehe....oh..,and if i ever end up having a bachelorette party, i'd LOVE to have Heidigger there!

Well, I'm just the publicist, you'll have to book with Marty himself.

I've been surprised: everyone I've shown it to so far in person looks at me funny when they get to the Bowie stuff. I just thought it would be funny and a lot less cliché than mking him listen to Brittney Spears or something. Plus, I'm pretty sure Ziggy Stardust came out before Heidegger kicked... weird that two such things could co-exist in the same world at the same time.

Love it.

Hope it supplied you with at least one belly-laugh as you work through your stuff! Take care, G!
