Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

It was a pretty good weekend–sans the cold I came down with last thursday.  Tara came back for her spring break on friday.  We went out for a few drinks that evening.  Pretty low key, pretty fun.  Saturday I attempted to run with the cold with Tara, and although I made it the 5 or…

So I just now noticed that Xanga tells you how many times a post has been viewed.  For instance, the poem in my previous post was view 16 times.  2 comments.  What a bunch of dicks.  Lol, I’m kidding, but I am intrigued.  I can count the subscriptions I actively read on one hand.  This…

Chicago Slums   The sun falls out of sight leaving in its wake a lingering red which paints February trees and rotting 20’s era bungalows against the horizon. Muffled fighting and fucking creep out poorly sealed windows skirting amongst frozen swimming pools and littered lawns before finally being overcome by 747’s flying low overhead in…

It’s 4:30 in the afternoon last Thursday.  I’m trying to stay productive for the last half an hour or so of work.  Suddenly the manager, Scott, is on the phone.  “Want to go to Louisville, KY?”–He asks.  I’m a bit surprised.  I had known that one of the higher-up engineers had been planning on going…

My car is once again refusing to start in the cold.  It did this once before Christmas as well and I ascertained that it required a new battery and therefore replaced it.  This seemed to fix the problem and for a month the car worked fine.  Then I went out to start my car to…

Well I’m officially back in the real world.  The past week or so has been outstanding.  Tara and I rode with Isaac and his family out to Salt lake for skiing/snowboarding.  I’ve never rode on that much powder in my life.  It was nuts and friggin hard and also amazing.  Later on in the week,…

The holidays were pretty good for me.  The past week no work has been nice as well.  I can’t say relaxing though–Tara and I have been busy with wedding stuff.  Tomorrow we will probably go register at Target.  Then this thursday we will leave for Salt Lake with Isaac’s family for skiing/snowboarding.  I’m excited for…

I haven’t gotten much sleep that last several nights.  Yet now, having the opportunity to go to bed early to catch up on sleep, I can not sleep.  I get up at 5 tomorrow morning to head to the airport with my family to go to AZ.  The getting up at that hour is not…

I’m officially done.  I just took my one and only final.  I don’t think that it has set it yet–the semester was pretty slow until these last couple weeks.  Next week I will begin a month long hiatus of anything work related.  Monday to Friday is Arizona with the family,  Saturday & Sunday is Christmas…

I have to admit, it still takes me multiple tries to figure out what the hell I’m supposed to click to write a new post on here.  I am officially done with senior design.  After tweaking and tuning until midnight monday night and a capacitor explosion, we got our project working and ready for demonstration…
