Just somethings i've been reading and thinking about. tell me what you think
"..the ultimate source of the humans symptoms and pathologies, their renown and excruciating doubts and inner conflicts, is the general, unavoidable trauma of the knotting of a living body to a dead, abstract system of language. This knotting introduces an intense desire for unity and resolution, and at the same time, it makes such unity impossible. In intangible language all things seem possible; but given the gap between language and concrete reality and language's essential distance from any actualization, language brings us against impotence...The ferocity of their desire for a unity, an answer, produces various kinds of beliefs as well as fantasies and fictions. These beliefs are the sutures for the fundamental rupture that the human being is of nature by culture, of instinctual life by intuitions and visionary images, and of mere belief by reason."
"It is possible to argue that God exists or that He does not. we are predisposed one way or another, and we arrange the facts to meet our basic expectations or desire...we are reluctant to assume the responsibility of choice; we would much rather that some necessity of logic or passion force us to choose one way or another. Then, at least, we are not responsible."
"Human law cannot reach or punish a belief; it can only judge and punish an act."
"With death he escapes being accountable or wrong. there is nothing to contradict his belief. Suicide is final affirmation of "everything is lawful... He becomes his own law. Maybe his is a rebellion against the coming into existence of human life as such, a preference of death over life...he ends in the same muteness that Christ does."
"Fathers and teachers, I ponder "What is hell?" I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love." |

Of montreal. cats cradle. february 28. who's down ? be there or be square.
Life is strange. we learn so much through suffering yet ignorance is bliss.
Panera is a good place to sit and listen to music/write/doOnlineThings.
So we are going back to school soon? huh WHAT?
Its going to be a good semester. I don't care what you say.
Often times i think i'm praying for the wrong things.
But thats another story.
I'm in the middle of five books. One i can't believe i'm reading. the others i need to finish.
My dad whooped me in pool last night. maybe i'll try again tonight.
Thats right, i'm making my own skateboard.
Lauren and are on skatenc again (!) this time in a video clip. Jealous ?
Not even a little ?
My back hurts. combination of 2500 miles in a car in a little over a week and skateboarding.
Both were worth it though.
I wish i could sing like the guy from of montreal. Too freakin' catchy.
I miss cup a joes. Are you surprised ?
"i was gazing in your eyes, seeing butterflies melting on the wall. strangest thing i saw, clever little guys. wonderful surprise. will you come and fetch me girl from the brink? i'm starting to kink, and i'm too numb think."
Its about time i pick up some plywood and tomatoes for dinner.
Just in case you didn't know... you are all going snowboarding this month.
The mountains are good for the soul. i should have gone to asheville. Peace |

Well i've been home since friday and have been relatively busy. Skateboarding has been slowly getting back into the daily routine. Today its 29 degrees though so i don't know about that. Right now i'm sitting in the coffee shop because it has wireless and my parents took away the internet because they never use it.
Lets talk about downtown...so many cops now! Every where i skated i had at least two sets of eyes on me and eventually they would walk by and tell me that i can't skate on the sidewalk, down the stairs, or anywhere else for that matter. That's about the time i just pick up the board and throw it down in the middle of the street and take off. Supposedly charlotte is the third most dangerous city to live in because of the murder rate (?) At least thats what i heard.
Wow, i just spilled coffee on me and my computer. awesome. i really need to learn how to drink.
Anyways, last night i went to chapel hill to see a friends band play (sweater weather) at the local 506. They did very very well. I'm proud of all of them. They played with anathello and another band named javaris (?). i didn't get to bed until 4 in the morning last night because we drove back but it was so much fun. I had a wonderful. time listening to music and talking with cheryl.
Sleep is amazing.
Hope everybody is doing well. |
