A bit like SpaghettiO's

By -
I love Christmas, of course. What kind of living, breathing human would I be if I didn't enjoy the holiday festivities? I do love them, I do. But to think with a half-empty glass, I argue that Christmas is anticlimactic . You spend an entire month baking, shopping, wrapping, laughing and anticipating the excitement of a supposed wonderful day and when it comes, it's there, it happens and then it's all over. It almost makes me angry. I almost can't enjoy each moment because I know that soon it will be over and I have to face reality. Ugh. Reality. I love you, but sometimes I don't always want you.

Kind of like spaghettiO's.


So to brighten my day I remembered the day I was in Downtown San Diego and this little old German lady approached me. Although I hardly understood her, I adored her disposition. She was kind enough to let me snap a photo of her.

nothing in this world like a sister.

I know people say this a lot, but seriously, my sister is my biggest inspiration. You will never meet a more witty, intelligent, free-spirited, 0r beautiful 25-year-old girl. People always point out that we have the same diction, speech, witty/cynical attitude and I never get sick of hearing it. To be compared to such an enrapturing person is an amazing honor. I could write pages upon pages of situations where my sister pulled me through some dark, scary times in my life but instead I want the world -and you sis- to know that you are the sole reason I am on the path I am today. The person who pushed me with words, steered me with love and nurtured me with an influence oozing with positivity. I am so stoked to visit you next month sis! For every one who's curious.

She leaves soon to a foreign country (currently unknown) to dedicate her knowledge and training to the bettering and development of this c...

Consciousness

I adore my French classes so far . Every speaks really well and I see my own French turning a whole new corner. But this semester, my favorite thing about school though is my philosophy class on consciousness. I love that the professor began class with a bit of a boiler plate review of what would be covered. I felt instantly amused by his enthusiasm and love for what he does. He mentioned a symptom called "Zombie-ism." I had never heard from it but from his explanation I began to understand that it's a little something like this.. 1. A zombie is a robot, a system and indistinguishable from you and I (humans) 2. Zombie-ism suggests that being conscious (as you and I are) is not essential in functioning (as you and I are conscious, functioning entities) 3. If this is true, then we discover that consciousness is completely separate from the tangibles the compose this physical world 4. This seperation is what is so mystifying. We have physi...
