I'll just launch right into this one. Some people feel that you should forget the past, that when something goes wrong in your life, when you make a "bad" decision or do something embarrassing, you should simply put it behind you and move on. Well, much as some of us may not like to admit it, the past does define who we are. We may go through ( Read more... )

Again, another work in progress. Don't worry, at some point I'll actually get back to writing. But c'mon, leave me some thoughts on these ( Read more... )

For some unknown reason as the end of the year approaches I find myself with a lot of extra time, and my creativity finally gets a jumpstart. So I went back to some older poems and things I had written, gave them another polish, and experimented with what else I could come up with.

Yesterday's entry was written at almost 4 in the morning, so I'd like to expand on it and make it a little more coherent. Some of the following comes from my own observations. A lot of it is inspired or covered by Pirsig in "Zen" and Milan Kundera in "Immortality." Don't be surprised if these authors keep coming up; they have quite a bit to say ( Read more... )

This is probably a really odd place to start my philosophical ramblings. Still, I guess it somewhat makes sense with my recent revisiting of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." *By Robert Pirsig for those interested, and I highly recommend it as it pretty much changed my views on life ( Read more... )
