Philosophical Opinions

I have recently acquired a new book about the philosophy behind the TV show "Big Bang Theory" and I must say I have learned a lot more about philosophy then have from 3 classes in college regarding the same items. I am sure its because it is about something I really enjoy watching in the first place and for the fact the writer words are a lot like that in the show. Still the fact is that actual educational part is quite good and that I have been able to extract that info to real life items. One of my favorite items has to be about the "roommate agreement" that Sheldon has Leonard follow by and how it is like that of Hobbes, one of my favorite philosophers, natural law. It is funny, yet very practical that one engages in a social contract of agreements when living with another. After what I have gone with and living with someone I think I would have followed something of this sort. (Even though the person I was living with was someone of a romantic essence). It is

In the blanket of dark, light creates itself.

For years now I have looked outside this window in my room. I have laid my eyes on the Santa Rita Mountains and have seen a different image every time I opened my curtains. My eyes have seen this timeless face change into a unique image every second of everyday for the past seven years. Through that time I have seen those mountains a far and at close. Through that time I have seen changes upon those rock formations. The four seasons bring four changes as predicated earlier. Spring season brings the new sprouts, new leaves, new young in the animals and even what seems to be new fresh start to a year. Summer brings the warmth, brings season to those of young who just arrived, and the rains of the monsoon come to prepare those for later. As those rains dissipate and the temperature begins to cool, the mountains change again. The leaves of youth fade color and start to show their age. Yellow, gold, brown and red cover the canopies and ground like a brilliant picture. The now seasoned crea

Built up to break down

I am here typing at 6 o'clock in the morning, a little unsure why I am. What I do know is that I haven't been able to fall asleep since 5. So many items have been flying through me head the last several days and I believe that those items are to be blamed for the insomnia. These items have been mainly about my past, the errors I have made and how often I have brought myself just to knock myself down. I am noticing that must of my errors that I have made are that of my own. My very worse critic has been myself. My ultimate cause for destruction has been done by me. I have not been able to give myself a good appraisal and devalued myself so much that in my mind I have not been worth much. This inappropriate value has caused myself so many unneeded issues, problems and self inflected wounds. To be honest I am not sure why this has happened, nor unsure of what has made me this way. The one thing that I have noticed is that people give me a higher value then that I have given mysel

Life lessons

5 years ago I decided to leave a really good job that I enjoyed and had fun at to go to another. I went to this other job so I could go to U of A and work on my Chemical Engineering degree. This job allowed me to go to school during the day and still work full time. I really had no idea what I was going into, just the idea that it was like a past job. I was truly excited for this job simply because it looked like my future was looking like it was getting better. When I first started I was a young and naive and thought I truly knew a lot. When I first started at this job I thought of it as just a temporary job and figured once I got my degree I would be set. Here I am 5 years later, I am still working at the casino in the surveillance department and reflecting back at those several days I have spent there. How many lessons I have learned professional. How many heart breaks I have had to go through because of that job. How many nights I have stayed awaken because of the many issues tha

Cleaning the portrait

So I have always believed that my life was going to be set up a certain way. I knew some aspects would not be what the original plan told of, but I figured the core of the future would be the same. I thought maybe I would become a scientist or be engaged in a mentally challenging job, but that plan has changed. I knew that was going to occur. I believed that this would not be true for the core, but I have learned that the core of the future can change just as quick as the other parts. I thought that my core of my future would be a house, wife, kids, a good job, and easy day to day. This image is seen in a lot of my friends lives, plus or minus some changes, and that always made me feel like I was falling behind. I always thought that one day I would succeed at obtaining that core dream, except I think I was never meant to receive that dream. One thing that I am fairly certain about is that I am supposed to be in a public service job, one in which I can help people. These types of job
