Fallen Thoughts

ah, weblog neglect!

so far, this week has been one of those weeks where everything just kinda gets by. I walked into BIO class Monday night to find everyone head down in notes studying their ass off. dammit, we have a test... I walked up to the board and wrote 'Test Rescheduled For Wednesday', but the teacher wouldn't buy it. so I did the rational thing. I walked out. no really, I sat there and did a 10 minute power session and took the test. how'd I do? we'll find out tonight...

hung out with this kid Jason the other night for the first time in a while.. we used to burn MAD trees back in the day, steady trippin'. forgot how funny he is. hopefully he'll be around more.

in other news, just started reading 'A Chinese Garden Of Serenity: Reflections Of A Zen Buddhist'. I guess reading Kerouac rekindled my affinty for the ways of Zen, so I'm reading up and learning while it's fresh. want an example? I thought you would:

'Fishing is a pleasure of retirement, yet the angler has the power to let the fish live or die. Chess-playing is an enjoyable pasttime, yet the players are motivated by the idea of war.'

while on the subject, my mom asked me what I was reading tonight and I told her. she replied, 'that's ok, but I'd much rather you read the Bible...' something about that struck me wrong.. what's the harm in learning about other religions? to take it a step farther, I think there should be classes on religion in younger years, at least in high school. maybe even middle school and elementary grades. let people learn about other religions and let them believe what they feel is natural, rather than force a set of rules down their throat. best stop now, as this could go on forEVER.

now that I've amassed a nice bit of bloggage, I think I'll step out and see what this day has to offer.

oh yeah, Regent's Test today... wish me luck!
