Don't Mistake Existentialism For Living Or

Content by Levi Mcpherson

Students in liberal arts schools are tempted with the thinking of people whose minds internalized the world and its problems language of thought of the blase thinker. When not being regaled by John Wayne on direct tv satellite packages, I read such books as Being and Nothingness by Jean Paul Sartre. Listen and tell me why so many of us starving philosophers drown in the intoxicating thought language of Jean Paul Sartre. "Temporality is evidently an organized structure." When using the concept of time in philosophical discourse, the parts of time accepted by all people as proof without needed evidence or a "given" are time past, present and future. The "infinite series of 'nows' in which some are not yet and others are no longer- but rather as the structured moments of an original synthesis" or in the observation of what might be considered time as having passed "temporality" is perceived.

That existentialism conquered the world of philosophy in France and found many advocates in California is a givenbecause we have witnessed it in various movements. The postulate is why would a world turn away from reality into a wall facing nowhere and call that real and true? The withdrawal of post modern man has been a shadow play of lets pretend we care about living.

Fall fun days!


In the midst of life we all need to get away with a good release. For some people it is travel for others movies or music events. I personally love a good metal show. The energy, the screaming and chanting of the crowd. I was looking forward to seeing Ozzy Osbourne. A little interesting tidbit I read is that Ozzy has weird genetics. Apparently researchers are studying his DNA and have found he is mutant which is why he did not die from all the drugs and alcohol. I know it sounds weird I had to reread it lol Now they are not saying he is mutant like xmen just in some way he has a tolerance. This is not why I wanted to see him but I thought it was an interesting side bar. He is playing at St Pete. You can find some great tickets at ST. PETE TIMES FORUM TICKETS

There is something about football games in the fall. Sitting in a stadium with the cool wind and warm blankets snuggling underneath with a fellow football fan. I am really interested in someACC Mens Football Championship Tickets so I can experience the fun and eat some yummy hot dogs and drink beer!

One thing I do not understand is the fact that our Verizon Amphitheater closes in the fall. I think it is the best time for out door concerts. It is very close to my house and i would love to see a nice concert outside in the fall with the leaves changing in the background and the wind blowing. I wish I was able to find some VERIZON CENTER TICKETS for fall it would make it all perfect.

Finally reading Breakfast of Champions

I think that lots of people keep a mental list of all the books that they'd like to read when they get around to it. But I keep an actual list in a Word document on my computer because it's just easier that way. A lot of those book titles are actually by Kurt Vonnegut. I read some of his books in school and have meant to read the rest of his eventually but I guess that life happened so I haven't really gotten around to it.

I was looking up some of those book titles to buy online with my ClearWirelessInternetService and got lucky and found this really big collection of a bunch of his books being sold together for pretty cheap so I went ahead and took that deal even though I had read two or three of them already. I thought they would also just be nice to have to put on my bookshelf.

The first one of those that I'm reading is Breakfast of Champions. I saw the movie a while back and so that's why it was one of the first ones I wanted to read.

Outlaw


Thanks for the post from Nora Mccoy

Outlaw is a new show featuring Jimmy Smits. I was a little hesitant at first to get addicted to another crime show (I currently watch several loyally) but the promise of one of my favorite actors, Jimmy Smits, was too much to pass up. This show currently runs on NBC and is still in its first season. It is one of the few shows that my entire family can agree on watching. It features for United States Justice Cyrus Garza who, after becoming tired of a judicial system that cares more about the law than protecting the people, steps down from the bench and begins practicing law again. He creates a rag-tag team of lawyers and his office is in his home, mostly out of the kitchen. I love the humor that NBC puts into the show. Never has an episode gone that has not had me laughing out loud. It also brings a humanitarian element to the show. Justice Garza takes on human interest cases that test not only his personal beliefs but the constitution and the beliefs of the country. He goes out of his way to make sure that he gives his all in every case even if it does not always match up with his personal beliefs. This is why me and my family tune in week after week on our dish tv.

Next best thing to True Blood


Guest post written by Rodney Schrute

When I have time to do something fun, I fully commit to it. That goes for TV shows and books especially. I watched the whole first season of True Blood in a whole day and then picked up the second season right after that. Then I caught the third season as it aired on TV this summer. So since the third season finale I've been reading all of the books that the show's based off of. Except now my problem is that I'm through with all the ones that are out by now, which is around a dozen I think.

So I went online the other day and found out that the author of the True Blood books has actually written lots of other books too, which people also think are really good. After I was through looking up stuff about them, I saw this site clearwirewimax4g.com and read through it. Right after that I switched over my internet service to it.

I picked up a Charlain Harris mystery at the library, not really realizing that it was a book in a mystery series. Needless to say, IÕm trying to find the rest in that series to read.

My best friends wedding

My best friend is getting married. I am so very excited for them. They have been engaged for a few years and after being very patient the date has been set for January. The ceremony will be lovely. They are going with a less traditional approach to make it their own. I actually prefer this to the standard weddings. I love seeing the creativity. Let's also face it these two are individuals in every way as well. As we all know I am a photographer but she really wants me in the wedding so I have been looking at other Virginia wedding photographers. There are alot to pick from but I really want to find someone that is creative and willing to put a different spin on things. Alot of the Virginia wedding photography seemed to center around the botanical gardens or other flowery type pictures and this is not their style at all.

There are so many lovely areas that would work for photos. Historical areas would be something I would put on my list for something that would suit them. They are going with a more antique styl theme. Victorian almost in feel with a Gothic twist. Her hair will be done up and would be gorgeous photographed in the setting sun. I am looking forward to her wedding and what work Roman Grinev will do. He has a very interesting portfolio for a Virginia wedding photographer. We still have a good bit of time before the ceremony but as we all know they creep up on you in no time. I am glad we have done our research on a photographer.

Bathroom transformation


I recently started a new project around my house. I decided to retile my entire bathroom with something a little more modern. Currently I have a cream colored ceramic tile. It is very outdated and I was looking to go with more clear, crisp coloring. A gorgeous black white and red tile scheme for the kitchen would really pop against the stainless steel. Nice, shiny tiles would keep things looking clean. I installed stainless steel faucets and towel racks. I would like some nice shag style black rugs for the floors so when I get out of the shower my toes sink in.

Finding the right color bathroom tiles can be difficult. I appreciate stores that have samples you can purchase and bring home so you can see the coloring in your own lighting. The bathroom tile project will not be difficult to do once I get all of the materials. I am definitely looking forward to the new look. I found inspiration in some subway tiles I saw in NYC. They were gorgeous and really made an impression on me. It amazes me how the city puts money into such little details. I have to say thank you for the details that inspired me to transform my bathroom into a showcase!
