Year in Review

I

I got engaged. 73 days and counting til I marry my best friend. What has been one of the most difficult parts of the engagement you wonder? Registering.

My second post of all time was a wobbling, slightly incoherent rant on epistemology and linguistics; a symptom of being immersed in Literary Theory no doubt. Lucky warned about the dangers of thinking too much, but I’m not crazy yet, at least not terminally. Indeed, the second biggest event of the last year was my Graduation. Ok, I really haven’t blogged that much about graduation, but it was good. Philosophy tassles are blue, and that’s reason enough to chose the major. School isn’t over of course, the fangs of Law School are gaping wide; I’ll take a year to prepare for the battle.

Speaking of Philosophy, a number of my posts, arguments, or observations are directly influenced by my own carefully thought out basic beliefs; my view of ontology makes its way to the text. Of course, sometimes I don’t see it right, or perhaps you don’t see it right (or maybe the truth is somewhere inbetween). The most provacative post in this respect is this one. Though this endeavour in apologetics brought the most new readers to my blog.

Aside from blatant philosophizing, this blog is occasionally used for stories, poems, or brilliant ideas. Two of the more remarkable stories involve either drugs or rock and roll. Go figure.

One of my personal favorite posts this year only received one comment. It deserves far more; maybe you can rectify the situation. The post was so good, in my opinion, and the idea so intriguing, that I turned it into a Shakespearian Term Paper. It’s about laughter, but it’s not all that funny.

Blogging has been fun, like I hinted at long ago it is a revolutionary gateway to a new kind of power. The next year will bring new things, and hopefully more profound, stirring, or just plain intriguing posts. I have a big reading list that I can finally start to dig in to, and I’m sure the study supply of fresh ideas will bring about a greater synergy. Don’t support kitsch, read Infinite Regression.
