I'm sitting here alone, in my parents' bedroom, with my laptop connected to my dad's work station. There's Nikon instruction manuals, an MRE pudding, and water jug to keep me and the rest of his clutter company. I'm the only bipedal living thing in this regular one-story, suburban home, and I've put myself here. Think Home…Read more Family Pt 1
As I'm sitting at the dining room table with my laptop's keys clacking and the dishwasher running, a bird is singing. I think she may be conversing with another, two lovers flirting in the dark. No good birds are usually up this late, speaking words that both mean nothing and everything. But maybe I'm too…Read more Dear Ghost
In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. I wanted to spend this holy month of Ramadan reading the English translation of the Quran and blogging my thoughts/conclusions on it.

Eudaimonia. Happiness. Fulfillment. Flourishing. Prosperity. Aristotle, despite the nonsensical lecture notes in which this concept arises, really whipped up a frenzy with this one.

My friend just started his blog. Support him if you will!
Thanks for visiting!
This blog will be the result of my random tirades, shower thoughts and occasional observations. I do my best to not create word soup, but make no promises.

While this remains a hobby of mine, I will try to dedicate a great amount of effort in maintaining regular updates or posts.
Enjoy!
Sometimes the juice just ain’t worth the squeeze…
I haven't written in a month. It's not that I haven't had cause to, nor the time not to. It's not that I've lost my yearning to write or my appetite to read. And yet such is the case; I never finished reading Republic and I'm only ten or so pages into Aristotle's Ethics. All the…Read more Don’t Hate the Player, Hate the Game
This evening I read Books II and III of Republic. It took me almost two hours with a two hour break in between books. Yeah, maybe not the most productive way of reading Plato, but that shit gets boring and drawn out like a mofo a LOT. I enjoyed it much more than, say, Alcibiades I, as the…Read more Self-Socratic Method
