On heroes and villains

[sweetconcord]

First things first: I cannot find my cellphone. I must apologize to anyone who has tried to call me in the last two weeks or so; I haven't been ignoring you so much as I've been completely cut off from any mode of communication that isn't the internet. So if you need to (or, for some lunatic reason beyond my understanding, want to) contact me,

You need a cassock.

[sweetconcord]

That's getting rather personal, I feel, and I'll thank you to leave my cassock out of this.

Come off it, I know your secrets. ^_^

I feel like your icon, by the way.... Except replace "coffee" with "Monster lo-carb." I've been shaking for the past hour and a half, its' very difficult to type that way...

I love that feeling. It's like my autonomic functions have suddenly decided to switch off the little machine that allows me to separate the rational from the irrational in order to divert power to the little machine that makes me shake uncontrollably.

Oh! I never knew Schopenhauer was a philosopher!
Oh, yeah! He's the one that begins with an 'S'.
Oh. Umm, like, uh, 'Nietzsche'.
Does 'Nietzsche' begin with an 'S'?
Uh, there's an 's' in 'Nietzsche'.
Oh, wow. Yes, there is. Do all philosophers have an 's' in them?
Uh, yeah! I think most of 'em do.

And always remember...
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable,
Whereas Heideger, Heideger was a boozey beggar who could drink you under the table...

I will indeed be in Milwaukee for Irish Fest. At least, I plan to. I might be getting a job (hooray!) sometime soonish, and may not be able to get off that weekend. I'll let you know either way, but the odds are in favor of my being in Milwaukee that weekend. (August 16th-19th)

Also, I'm glad you enjoyed the little story. Of the many brief hypothetical scenarios we've discussed in that class, I think that's one of my favorites. My professor for that class is a fantastic speaker, and drops in all kinds of little fictions or anecdotes as examples.

Anyway, I hope to see you in August! *HUG*

In regards to Nietzsche, I like to think that I use the knightly virtue to rationalize anything I do (unless I'm doing it blatantly to be bad), and I use the priestly virtue to rationalize my existence. I do not, on the other hand, at all condone Nietzsche's 'eternal return' idea. No memory of experience life previously makes that entire idea moot. What do you care of a 'future' life for yourself if you have no memory of your previous ones. Of course I realize that this ideology also might stem from my apathetic views towards politics and life and the fact of me not really caring about existence beyond my lifespan. Nietzsche might have had many good ideas, but I don't hold that one as being exceptionally exuberant or "epic", maybe just rare or uncommon.

Umm...who are you?
