Bad Luck Baby

Well it's been a little over three years since my car crash and I'm wondering if it should have been worse. Everything has gotten harder and worse since that car crash; I've been homeless, my fiance at the time left me and so forth and so on. Thought today would be a good day and it would seem I was wrong. Sometimes living through an incident doesn't actually mean you're alive.

Easy Hump Day

To start with I was pretty lucky and I didn't even have to go to my Political Philosophy (PL310) class today, which is always nice. It isn't in anyway my hardest class or my most boring class, but its still nice to take a little break from Kant. I ended up getting my paper in, even though it was one hell of a Sunday of writing about boring 'ol Hobbes.

In other class related news I'm taking this United States Since 1865 (HS127) and my professor is fairly new to the whole teaching realm. More than half the students in the class are freshmen, and roughly half of the class will be on Facebook/Youtube/etc during the whole duration of the class. Which sucks in the way that no one is paying attention and when he tries to get discussion going its just five minutes of silence, which makes the class seem WAY longer. There are about, I don't know, three of us tops that speak out. Well back to my point, he's talking about WWI right now and he's been just misspeaking so much lately. Example: "They purposely bombed civilians in WWI to win the war." Lets have a quick history lesson shall we? When were bombers invented? Post WWI. What is ONE example in which a country openly shelled a city to attack civilians? You can't show me one? Oh okay.

Well I should get back to writing my half page paper for Geography of Latin America (GC300). ~snore~

New Blog & Weekend Philosophy

A new blog for a new chapter, not that there were many (if any) readers for the old one.

Well this weekend I have a mediocre sized paper to write for Political Philosophy (PL310) and I haven't started it in any way. I have to go into depth on Hobbes' views on the state of nature and how he believes the state of nature is a state of war. Which if you really want more information on you can pick up his book Levithan, which I'll warn you is a fairly dry book even for me.

If you look over the picture you can see what my morning has consisted of; a delicious breakfast and Steve Cahn's Political Philosophy: The Essential Texts. It's a sad thing when breakfast consist of Stewart's Orange'n Cream, Fruit Snacks and bread but oh well. Talking about soda, I miss the Halloween 2009 Jones soda flavors and I can't wait for them to come out with some new stuff this year.
