On January

I need a place to live. I'd like someone to live with. I might even like a big-house situation. But I've got to gain a higher level of independence. It's a must. This is priority one.

Priority two is to attain a level of financial responsibility. This includes paying off my debts and getting a credit card.

Priority three is to get my driver's license back. This goes back to gaining a new level of independence.

Priority four is exercise. Training my body to be an ally is essential. This is also a self-confidence issue.

Meanwhile, I need to stay up on my schoolwork and to operate at a high level at work.

January's going to be a busy month.

With consumption I learn, I take in all the essence of the world. Reading and watching things help me to build in my mind a model of the way the world is, was, and will be.

I wonder if I should join an atheists group. I wonder if I am an atheist. I have concluded that God is unknowable, but doesn't that make me an agnostic? I find the certainty presented by hard atheism just as arrogant and repulsive as the hard dogmatic beliefs of many faiths. I much prefer to stare into the darkness of what is unknowable and wonder.



I can consume or I can produce, and both have their merits. This production helps me to organize my thoughts and decide on my point of view, and also creates something permanent for me to review later. For instance, reading my mention of my depression all the way back in 2008 makes me realize that this is something I struggle with within myself, and that the conditions of my life aren't what causes it. This empowers me, because now I know to focus on myself in order to win this struggle. I feel good lately, sometimes, and I feel that I am winning. Consumption later.

A return to this shotgun




I return to this odd shotgun of a journal after having revisited my posts of 2008 and feeling some sympathy for my voice. I also like the conceit, turning consumption into production, and I love blogging on a mobile device. Hilariously enough, I write this in a public space, but am writing for noone but myself. Indeed, I would likely be mortified if someone I knew read this blog. At the same time I have my full name attached to it, along with details of my life that would make me instantly recognizable to any acquaintance. That exposure both excites and scares me. Perhaps I'll change it. We'll see.

Ted Kennedy died today. I didn't know him. May he rest in peace, if that's what happens.

Life is crazy now, turned upside-down. I'm staying at my parents' house, but all my things are still at my apartment. Lisa is thinking, enjoying her time alone. We'll see what happens.
It's so sad.

Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats are looking like fools. This refusal to seat an appointed Senator because of the actions of the appointing governor makes them out as asinine when no connection between the appointee and the questionable actions of the governor has been presented. Just let the guy sit in the seat, people. You're starting to look like Republicans.

Of course, the difference there is that Franken isn't a member of the Republican Party, whereas Burris is a Democrat. But whatever. They still look ridiculous. There's more important shit going on, people!
