What the age needs is not a genius - it has had geniuses enough, but a martyr, who in order to teach men to obey would himself be obedient unto death. What the age needs is awakening. - Soren Kierkegaard I never forget how God helps me and it is therefore my last wish that everything may be to his honour.-Soren Kierkegaard ***if only we lived our lives like this... a truly human, living sacrifice on an altar of love *** says: built to give Glory to God in the highest, bringing peace and good will to all people of the world, and giving us the meaning we crave so much for the world. This is from a MSN conversation I had this night. A friend and I were talking about existentialism. I mentioned Jean-Paul Sartre, who was an existentialist and athiest philosopher. He felt that all humankind is left to define themselves. I think that Sartre had his good points, but to say that we are alone in this world is a fallacy. He eventually studied Jewish metaphysical theories, but still called h...

I got three new T-shirts in the mail last week. They were reasonably priced. I got them off www.thinkgeek.com. One says "Schrodinger's Cat is Dead" on the front and "Schrodinger's Cat is Not Dead" on the back. Another one says "I'm With Genius" and has an arrow pointing upwards. It's a parody of those popular shirts that say "I'm With Stupid" on them. I now have one that says "Roses are 'red', Violets are 'blue', all my base are belong to you". It's a geek love poem. The colours are actually written in hexidecimal code. The poem is about the old game "Zero Wing", which was poorly translated from Japanese. "All your base are belong to us!".

I met up with a former classmate from high school last Sunday. I was glad to see him because he's a nice guy. I was with my sister. I know he became a math teacher at Windham Tech. I hadn't seen him in a few years. We started talking and he said that he just finished a master's degree in special education. He said it would have been more interesting than a master's in math education. We both agreed. My sister and I said that special education is interesting, it has so many fields. I mentioned gifted education. He said that is one field that gets largely ignored. I agreed. It is very necessary. Some of the troublemakers in school are actually very gifted students that aren't challenged enough. We didn't talk for long because he said he had to get home to his girlfriend. The short conversation left me thinking. I remember when I was taking my special education class in college, that it was said that gifted education was actually something that wasn...

Recently my family and I went to the town green for a local event. We later took a walk down Main street after leaving the green. We then went into a shop just to look around. The shop was new and my mother and aunt hadn't been inside before. It was one of those shops that specializes in health and new age things. It had perfumes, incense, hand lotions, fancy clothing, and purses. There were also tarot cards, books of spells, and feng shui books. Some of those things I would buy, some I would never buy because I am a Christian. The store owner asked us if we came in from the theater, we said we had come from the town green. She said that she missed many things because she had to tend to her store. She said she needed to get out more so she could find a boyfriend. My mother said to her that I had been looking for a boyfriend for some time. The lady then decided to give me some advice. She said that I need to get out and meet people. I can't expect them to come to me. That made s...
