Tuesday, June 26   Some exciting Blogger news: First, Blogger registered it's 200,000 user today. Second, you can now get a Blogspot page without the ads! Yes, it's pretty amazing. I know. posted by jon Sunday, June 24   Heck, i'll take one too. posted by Tin   Call me materialistic. Call me shallow. Call me the king of wasting money. Call me a child. Call me irresponsible, call me anything you want but i want this: The Sony Playstation ONE complete with 5" LCD display for use in your car or your home. posted by jon Saturday, June 23   You have too much free time. posted by Tin   While i'm on the topic of the X-Men. Let me note the two stupidest mutant powers ever. Douglas Ramsey (Cypher), whose ability was a superhuman facility for translating languages, spoken or written. This guy was a superhero! Needless to say, he died (but he did get semi-resurrected). The second one is some evil mutant whose super power is....get this.....sealing up doors and windows. I'm not sure the name of this abomidable villain but i'm guessing his codename would logically be....."Lock".....or maybe the fear inducing..."Close". posted by jon   Plagiarist! posted by Tin   Well yeah...but i added the "Today," and all that stuff in parentheses. Why are you watching what i'm doing anyway? posted by jon   Dude! I just saw you steal that! Line for line! Copy and paste! You didn't even put it in quotations! posted by Tin   Today I began to wonder why one out of every three male X-Men is blue in color (Nightcrawler, Archangel, Beast, et al), which led me to believe that the Smurfs might be mutants too, and if they were, would they be allowed to join the X-Men? "Jokey Smurf is a mutant, born with extraordinary powers that brand him an outcast in a world he was sworn to protect..." posted by jon Thursday, June 21   Nice. posted by jon   I have nothing intelligent to say at the moment and since you seem to have cornered the market on meandering and confusing babble, i'm forced to remain silent. posted by Tin   You have nothing irritating to say? No snide comments? posted by jon   Hum... posted by Tin   First off, this is by no means an attempt to clarify or define post-modern philosophy (because i don't even really know what post-modern philosophy is). The point is that what struck me about the idea is that this is the way that we think now, thus "post-modern". There are no absolute rights and wrongs, just situational rights and wrongs. There doesn't have to be a loser in every situation, two opposing things can be right at the same time. This is interesting because in classical philosophy, the goal was to create a system in which absolute right and wrong could be defined for any situation. To live by a certain philosophy was to have a clearly defined code of how to judge and evaluate actions. To our modern minds, this seems ridiculous because how can everyone be defined and explained by just one system? Can there truly be only one answer for everything? If anything, it seems like the world is diversifying itself more than ever. Religions are being pulled apart and then fused together to create a personally compatible system of belief. Multi-culturalism is the understanding and respecting of another person's way of living. Don't get me wrong, all of this is tremendously good. If anything, i am entranced with the different ways that people think and feel. But a reason that i wanted to study philosophy was to find out about the various absolute ways of thinking that have come and gone. One reason i'm attracted to Rand is because she takes such hard stances on all issues. This is right, this is wrong. Period. There is no gray area and no accomodation for a difference of opinion. In a way i've always kind of wanted to find a "code" of living. A list of absolutes to live and die by. Like the knights of old. Or the Marines or something. (Of course, living by the wrong code can result in disastrous atrocities). At the same time i'm very agreeable with the Buddhist idea of each person finding his/her own individual enlightenment. I think what bugs me about Christianity is that is claims to have absolutes. Or rather, it does have absolutes but each person pulls out a different interpretation of these absolutes in order to suit him/herself. Totally opposing interpretations can be supported by the Bible, another reason it conflicts with me. It seems to me that if the Bible is to be taken as the book of rules and a way of life, it should not be so vague that 2 million different people can come under the umbrella of Christianity yet still be incredibly different. I feel like Christianity is a post-modern philosophy posing as a classical one. posted by jon   Um...ok. I think that was very poorly explained. But continue... posted by Tin   I had this definition of post-modern philosophy given to me the other day: That essentially post-modern philosophy is defined by the fact that there isn't just one correct philosophy. Individual situations can cause one philosophy to be right and wrong depending on the situation. posted by jon   Today, June 21 is summer solstice, which means it is the longest day of the year. Now you know. There's also apparently a solar eclipse over all of Africa which is very exciting. posted by jon Tuesday, June 19   My goal is to get every man, woman and child to blog. It's ambitious but now no one can accuse me of having no goals and no direction. Six billion plus is daunting but i'll start with my friends...and then their friends...and their friends...my life's mission has been set at this historic hour, pay attention. posted by jon Thursday, June 14   Again, you are an idiot. posted by Tin   One must think about these things. Knowing that an item such as a cocaine doll existed would add to the realism of the movie and thus to my overall enjoyment. posted by jon   What's your point? posted by Tin   Because see, if this item already does exist, is it only in the movie because they've figured out a way to detect it? If it isn't a reality, isn't it going to give the drug people some pretty good ideas? Or maybe the whole thing is fictional because they can't actually do that to cocaine... posted by jon   You're an idiot. Here's MY question: Why are you watching a thought provoking movie like Traffic and wondering about the realities of cocaine toys? posted by Tin   So i just watched Traffic and here's my question: In the movie they make this ceramic children's toy thing out of pure cocaine. It is super condensed and is odorless and undetectable. So now, is this in fact a reality and people can do this or is this a figment of the screenwriter's imagination? posted by jon Monday, June 11   The people will have to wait then... posted by jon   No. More bells. More whistles. Less rollicking. The people demand it. posted by Tin   The bells and whistles aren't here yet, you'll just have to be satisfied with the content and my smooth rollicking prose. posted by jon   It does look much nicer though and not as generic. Good job. One thing, i personally find it pretty annoying to have to scroll down reams and reams of writing, where are the links to all the archives? Where are the fancy shtml things? Where are the gimmicks and gadgets that drive every website? posted by Tin   I've just spent basically the past five hours trying to update this site but to little avail. This is new and improved but isn't exactly what i had envisioned in the first place. The flashing lights and dancing girls didn't quite make it into the redesign because my programming skills are non-existent. posted by jon Thursday, June 7   This is the kind of news that just makes my day. A top Vatican official told media that in a document to be issued by the Pontifical Council for Social Communication, the Roman Catholic Church would rule out the possibility of online confessions. "The Internet is a wonderful instrument for evangelization and pastoral srevice, but it will never be possible to confess online," Archbishop John Foley, the president of the council, was quoted as saying. posted by Tin Monday, June 4   Whatever girly-man. Deal with it, your only value to the world is through your "feminine" side. Go hit the gym, become a real man and then come talk to me. posted by Tin   You're missing the point here. I'm trying to talk about how even though someone hasn't actively been in your life, you still can hold them in such high esteem; and then the subsequent beauty of re-establishing that bond... posted by jon   I actually find it amusing that this high honor can only be coveyed on you because you fulfilled the role of a girl so well. Maybe you can still be a bridesmaid, you would look great in off-yellow. posted by Tin   Yeah, and then she proceeded to tell me that if "i were a girl, she would make me a bridesmaid." Which is just about the nicest thing anyone has said to me. posted by jon   So out of the blue, this old friend calls and tells you she's getting married? posted by Tin   A few days ago, a friend from way back randomly called me and it was the greatest thing in the world. In fact, i'm still smiling everytime i think about it because we really haven't talked since freshman year and suddenly we're playing catch up and everything with epic emails, trying to cram everything into a few days. Best of all, she's getting married soon and that just totally blew my mind. posted by jon   powered by blogger   << x BlogxPhiles x >>
