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 even more logical to follow this with the newest purchase that I will be taking, the purchase of a house and the accompanying room mate. The room mate is a dear friend, in all a sister in my book, but I am still going to act upon some form of social agreement to protect myself. The reason for this is simply because I have gone through the bad luck of being stuck with a mess and the apartment that came with it. Yes, this time I made sure I could pay the bills and extra cost by myself, but I still feel that no matter what I have to protect myself. Now I must say this agreement is not nearly as intrusive as Sheldon's but I will have rules of rent, parties, food and other items due to the fact I want to protect my investment. Along with that I am going to make sure I follow it too.

Like I said, yes my future room mate is like a sister and I fully trust her, but I feel like I have to protect myself no matter what due to my past. I should not fear the present because of the past, which I don't, but I know that I need to learn from the past also. The good thing is that she understand that point which is even better and also she understands my quarks, hence like my sister. As Hobbes has also stated we act upon our greatest interests or the best way to protect ourselves and here is a good example.

I do have to say some people might see me a little paranoid or not giving trust, but I have to disagree. It is something that I believe in and feel like I have to go about due to the past and what I have learned in the past just used in the present. Plus, like some people have said I do have my Sheldon quarks. I can't help it.

BTW here is the information regarding the book:
The Big Bang Theory and Philosophy
Rock, Paper, Scissors, Aristotle, Locke

I highly recommend the book if you don't like reading philosophy and even more so if you do.

When view through a window looks bad look through another.

In yesterdays post I talked about the amount of stress that I am placing myself in and stretching myself so thin that I am actual feeling a real effect of it. I began to look at everything that I am doing and the hell that I am placing myself into which a very bad situation, one that could place my whole future in a hell. I am seeing that because I am trying to do so many things that I am actually being very shellfish and not doing the right thing. I have so much that is riding on me and yes I need to have fun, but I also need to remember there are other things that should be holding precedence over. Its time to get thing straight and see there is a definitive path in which I must follow to make sure my future at hand, the way it may happen won't be changed because of poor choices on my part. Its time to close one window, and begin to look out another to see a new view, picture, hope for the future.

Yearly, year in review edition 2011

The year 2011. Began with so much hope, struck by tragedy in the early part and became quite through the remainder. As stated in the first part 2011 was to be a year full of promise. A year in which I thought a large amount of change would occur in my life, on a good note. Several months later I would find that not to be entirely true. I had just graduated from college a few days before the start of this year and was full of hope and eager to move forward. I had great friends to help through some of the challenges that I know I would endure. I was ready for this year probably more than any other year before, oh how wrong I was, and how this would be shown with eight days in the year and several times later. January 8th, the first test in my faith of the year. Not many people through out the world well remember the 8th of January, 2011, but I can almost guarantee that the people of Tucson well remember it. Several people, some of which my family knew, were shot brutally shot by a perso...

So close to the new start

I have never been this close to attaining a goal of this magnitude. A goal that is a life time goal. A goal that is so big to me that as of today I am a whole week away from accomplishing. So many people have been asking how does it feel are you excited. The truth is I am scared as hell. I am scared of messing up and I just missed the goal. I am scared of my life changing completely because of the change that can come in accomplishing this goal. I am scared of being disappointed like have be soon many time before. Yet with all this fear I know it must be done. This is where my biggest fear resides. I have to look all these fears stair them in the eye and leap into a vast unknown. A blackness of which my hopes are not even seen. A place where my thoughts are lost and I struggle to hang on to them. This change is something I thought I would never be afraid, but because of the past I am still apprehensive to the idea. I am still apprehensive because what if the actions takes everything aw...
