Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Tara and I took a rode trip out to California the last two weeks.  It was pretty much an amazing trip.  We saw in Colorado, Vegas, Santa Barbara, Lompoc, Santa Cruz, San Fransisco, Tahoe, and Salt Lake City.  Lots of camping, and lots of wine tasting.  Anyhoo, now I’m back and back at work.  Poop. …

I can smell the end…of this semester that is.  Not the end for  me.  Not quite yet.  I got into screen printing my own t-shirts.  It’s pretty sweet.  The first one I made says “1+1=10”.  Pure nerdery.  Thank god the warm weather is finally starting to arrive.  Tara and I managed to get out on…

It’s been over 2 months since my last post.  Evidently the last time I posted, they hadn’t implemented the new user front page yet, so it took me a while to figure out how to get to the weblog entry.  School is busy as hell as always, but oh well.  Only 3 more weeks of…

Well, I successfully got over the respiratory version of the flu.  I was struck with that the week before last and was bedridden for several days.  It’s so nice to be able to run again.  Last night we had the 2nd annual fort party at our apartment.  The fort was slightly larger than last year’s…

Hmm, lets see.  The past weekend was pretty good.  AD marathon on Friday and then on Saturday, Tara and I went ice skating on the pond near our apartments.  It was pretty fun.  That evening was trekking up to Fremont and watching the strangest thriller movie ever called Invasion.  It was interesting…  I’ve got lots…

Here’s the poem you assigned, Jake. The Beam He’s perched up on a beamwith his clothes discardedand no where to hide. And all the whileclean-cut menpark their SUVs beneath himand throw up broken bottles of hateand smooth polished crosseswhile mothers shieldtheir children’s eyes. Yet he stands talland bleeds pure confidence.

Well, last week we ventured out to Breckenridge for some snowboarding fun.  It was pretty incredible.  It snowed just about every day we were out there, so there was always fresh powder.  Tara and Bridget learned to ski for the first time and both did pretty decent.  They graduated from the greens by the beginning…

Does anyone else feel like Christmas didn’t actually happen.  Maybe it’s because I avoided most of the Christmas music, or because my family didn’t go anywhere, but it never actually felt like Christmas.  Everything was good–gifts were exchanged, a meal was consumed, but it didn’t really feel all that Christmassy.  Oh well, it was still…

Damn you, Midlanders.  Already done for the year.  That’s okay, I guess.  I can laugh at you when I’m still on break in January.  Doesn’t help me now though.  I saw August Rush on friday.  It was incredibly corny, but actually quite good.  The movie I’m really looking forward to, though, is Juno.  With Micheal…

Fun weekend, overall.  On Friday, we had a Beta Sig Christmas party.  There was little emphasis on the Christmas factor, though, as the party consisted of hanging out listening to the end of the Husker volleyball game on the radio and then watching Superbad, which I have now seen 3 times.  The DVD version is…
