Pudica L

"Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think. Not that it is solely, or chiefly, to form great thinkers, that freedom of thinking is required. On the contrary, it is as much and even more indispensable to enable average human beings to attain the mental stature which they are capable of. That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time."
-John Stuart Mill

As the leaves on the trees changed by degrees and fell to the ground in a fluttery breeze, my thoughts floated likewise. Thoughts like ‘Holy Shit! Did you see that last line? I’m like motherfuckin Wordsworth on crack laced with uncut genius.”

So four of the five classes I signed up for this semester had a warning in the course catalog that they would be reading and writing intensive. Undeterred I choose, like a dumbass, to enroll in them anyway, it is the second week of class and I have spent the past three hours in the library reading the first 150 pages out of the 430 pages I have assigned to read for Wednesday's classes. I had to buy over eight-thousand pages worth of textbooks for my measly 15 hours of class this semester. The thought of an easy course load during football season is flying out the window.

So I watched "Igby Goes Down" today for the first time in several years and laughed till I cried. "Do you know what a masectomy is?"... Aye, it isn't funny I know...

But maybe Voltaire was right when he said: "God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh."

Classes start tomorrow.

I need to plant 80 trees to compensate for my Toyota Camry driving habits... Good thing I don't drive a Hummer.

I grew up in the same neighboorhood as the girl. Her big brother and I used to walk home from school together.

I would drive one.

In the absence of the past two months several important things have happened:

1.) I have been having a most leisurely and enjoyable summer

2.) I have vacationed to Sullivan's Island, SC and Montreat, NC for the past two and a half weeks.

3.) One of my nextdoor neighbors got married and moved away, I attended his wedding in Memphis.

4.) I met a girl... Her name is Colleen, She graduated from Davidson and is now working with Teach for America in Oakland, CA. We have good chemistry.

I am formulating the all-american-play in my head,... I wish I could as easily transition the thoughts to paper. In my play the underlying theme would be redirecting oneself systematically and deliberately. My father embodies it every time he tacks a sailboat I am beginning to realize how acutely my psyche unconsciously helps me to re-triangulate every so often. Freedom doesn't exist in the ability to pick a course and stick with it nor does it exist to those who never chart a path preferring rather to drift aimlessly. Life, Love, Ambition, the times I have felt truly alive have been the climactic shifts in inertia when one redirects his course. The boom comes swinging heavily across the boat, danger and pain cohort together, and sometimes you or someone you love is hurt by the shift, but progress marches on with the wind to her back.

An immigration protest took place at the Knoxville Court House a few blocks over from where I live, curious as to what was going on, I walked over and saw for myself.

I taught a third grade boy how to play chess today. It was a rewarding experience. The game ended in a stalemate...

On a scale of one to awesome: It was "super-great"

I saw it last night and have to say, it is the best Bruce Willis movie with a watch motif since Pulp Fiction.

Awesome!
