Yup…

It is hard enough to remember my opinions
without also remembering my reasons for them!
- Friedrich Nietzsche

Greetings All! I hope you are all having a wonderful day! Thursday was certainly an interesting day for me. I woke up before my alarm clock! That never happens. It freaked me out too. I panicked. The only times I ever wake up without the overly irritating buzz of my alarm clock in my ear is when I’ve slept through my alarm clock and have missed class. Those are horrible days. Thankfully my panic was for naught and all was well. That just started the day. It got more interesting. After my class at 9:00 AM I had nothing to do! It was wonderful. I had no homework, and nothing really pressing that needed to get done. So, I wasted the day away. That doesn’t happen very often. It felt odd. I’m supposed to be doing something. My mind just knows it. But, when I think through it all I realize that there’s nothing for me to do. Good, yes, but irritating. I’d kinda prefer not to have a day like that again for a while. It was just too much stress. ^_^ Also, due to the abstract nature of the following sub-posts, I couldn’t find any pictures that would work. So, I’m sorry for an imageless post.

Nihil
That’s right, nothing. That’s the way work was this week. I went in on Wednesday night and was surprised to see my name wasn’t on the board of callers. That really wasn’t a problem since Linda, our scheduling coordinator, has been out for the past few days and probably thought that I was supposed to be working Thursday night like I did last week. That wasn’t the last of the surprises though. In his usual manner our director gave us our nightly briefing before calls began. In this particular briefing he informed us that it had been decided to cancel the phone-a-thon for a week. Apparently the calls the last few days had yielded few actual results and we haven’t been making enough money per night to make any profit. By continuing the calls we were actually losing money. So, until next Thursday all calling has been halted. A good thing for me I guess since that does give me this Saturday off. But, again, it’s a bad thing as well because it means (yet again) I’m only going to be making 3.5 hours of pay this week. Grrr… This just needs to stop. I HAVE TO KEEP WORKING! I’m just glad they didn’t cancel it for longer than a week. That’s the best thing about this.

Nietzsche is Dead
I’ve been rather disappointed in one of my classes this year. My philosophy class, which I actually had been looking forward to, has been a real let down. I was expecting to be learning about different philosophers and their ideas, perhaps the history of philosophy and what is trying to be accomplished by it’s incessant pondering, or maybe how the different ideas of philosophy are to help us in our everyday lives. All of this has NOT been covered. All my professor has been doing is describing to us different philosophical worldviews and then disproving them one by one. So far we’ve made it through theism, deism, naturalism, nihilism, and we will be starting existentialism next week. But rather than looking at philosophy, and particularly these worldviews, from an objective perspective he is trying to disprove every worldview to us. We aren’t really learning what each worldview is claiming to be only how it’s claims are not right. Heck, I don’t even know how each of these worldviews spawned. This has been a pathetic excuse for a university level philosophy course. If I don’t do as well as I want to in this course I am definitely going to take it again with a different professor who might actually teach us philosophy instead of promoting his own philosophical standing.

No More Christmas Money
I spent the last of my Christmas money over the weekend. I had been given an Amazon.com gift certificate by my aunt and uncle for the amount of $25 and have been deliberating since Christmas about how to spend it. There were a couple options up in there air. I could purchase Kate Havnevik’s debut CD. She is a Norwegian musician in the style of Imogen Heap who has really impressed the heck out of me. Unfortunately her CD hasn’t really been released here in the U.S. so I would have to buy an import CD which is much more expensive than a normal CD. If I were to buy it, it would use up all of my gift certificate. And, being as cheap as I am, I couldn’t bring myself to spend an entire $25 on just one CD. So, I went with option two; anime! Heh heh! I’ve been wanting to see Haibane Renmei for some time now and have been tempted to buy it at the last couple conventions I went to. So, I decided to purchase it with the Amazon.com money. Yeah, it was a bit more expensive than $25, but I think it will be worth it. I look forward to its arrival later this week.

Linkies!
As you might have noticed up at the top of my site there were a few additions. I decided to finally get with the times and create myself some site buttons. Now, most of you (in fact all of you that I have seen) have made buttons featuring anime characters and your screen name. I have no real problem with this but it leads to confusion since many of you use similar characters. I’ve seen more FFVII buttons than I think I can stand. So, I decided to throw a loop in things and create my buttons with my beautiful mug on ‘em. Heh heh! Some of you (you know who you are) might think that I am being arrogant or “elitist” by doing this. I am NOT! I am simply created my buttons the way I did because I wanted to be different and creative. I wanted to stand apart from the crowd and I thought it would be fun. So, EAT IT! ^_^ I hope you all enjoy my buttons and please do not hesitate to link me on your sites. I will be getting around to all of your sites soon enough to snag your buttons and create a link library of my own. Look forward to it! ^_^

Well, I’ve typed for long enough, so now I’ll be done… kinda. ^_^ Below is posted a couple pictures of a coin that I found in one of my quarter rolls I purchased from Wal-Mart a month ago. I’ve been stumped as to the nationality of the coin. So, if anyone can make out the coin’s markings from those pathetic pictures and thinks they know where it comes from, please let me know. I’d greatly appreciate your assistance.



Now I’m done. Heh heh! I hope you wall have a wonderful day and I’ll see ya ‘round TheO! Sayonara!
