I had thought at first that phenomenology was kinda neat sounding, but the more I think about it the more I disagree with the whole thing, and I wanted to record a few quick thoughts on why I disagree before I forget them all.
For the uninitiated… phenomenology is the premise that reality consists of objects and events as they are perceived or understood in human consciousness and not of anything independent of human consciousness.

I think it is funny AND depressing that we have all of these freedoms from governmental control of our speech, thoughts, religion, etc, but we can’t really use them all because of the social control that is put on all of us by people in our life and outside of it.

Joy has been wanting to get a pet for about two years now, and today she has finally gotten her wish. Four times over.

This particular entry has more to do with what I’d do if I were a particular politican at a particular time. Namely, Bush… now.
I probably feel differently than a lot of people on this, and I am almost positive that I feel differentlt than Bush does, but IF I were Bush for the rest of October (or even the rest of his term) this is one of the first things I’d arrange to say. Once that this is “out of the way” I’d say similar things to other people(s), and then… finally… I’d set to work on doing something worthwhile for my country until the end of my term… when I’d announce that I would not seek reelection.

Today I’m writing about a change that I’ve noticed that takes place in some people when they transition from a position of no authority or responsibility to a position of responsibility and authority.
The change I’ve noticed is that some people who are libertarian when they are under someone else’s authority become more authoritarian when they are the authority. This also occasionally works in reverse where young authoritarians become libertarian when they come to power.

I hope to start a new habit today. I don’t know how well it is going to work for me, because, well, this is the first day, but I’m giving it a shot.
I plan to run to school every morning.
This is going to take a while to get used to doing, because school is just about three miles away from my house. I want to pack up my backpack every night with my books and some clothes and then run with my backpack to Joy’s apartment/dorm. When I get there I will shower, dress, and walk another half mile to my class. Since that class starts at 9:35 I think that I will leave my house at 8:00, which should give me enough time to run, shower, dress, and walk to class.
Wish me luck, I’ll need it!
UPDATE
OK, it was raining this morning — I think — so I didn’t run to Joy’s place until this evening. When I did, I decided to do it with the backpack to simulate the actual morning run.
The current backpack idea is a mistake. I definately need a backpack with both waist and shoulder straps to keep the pack from bouncing around on me.

I don’t understand this season. My Florida teams are the Gators and the Bucs, but it seems like I might have love for the wrong teams this year, because Miami (5-0) and FSU (5-0) are still both undefeated, the Marlins won their series and will be hosting the Cubs, a team that hasn’t won a series in nearly a century. Even the ‘Phins (3-1) are taking care of business so far.
Why are my teams sucking it up in terms of securing the W?

Tonight I am depressed. I’m not really happy at all. I have a headache. My eyes hurt so badly that they are constantly watering and they are light sensative to boot, so I am having to type without looking at my computer. So, please excuse the errors that are sure to come.
