Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

An unorthodox approach…
So here we are, another year has gone by. Overall this has been a better year than some in recent past, as far as years go. To illustrate, here’s the rundown of the past years of this decade 2000: Technically this year was the last of the 90’s, but am I typically the kind of…

Now departing…
It seems in some ways I am writing a few days behind my thoughts. For instance, the last entry was conceived of several days before it came to fruition, and again, this entry reflects thoughts from earlier in the week. Maybe its better that way, you know? That way, I don’t write stupid,…

A picture’s worth…
Question: What is wrong with this picture? Sunlight peeks gently through the swaying tree branches that stand bearing leaves of various autumnal shades. The air is not too cool, but exceedingly crisp; the breeze is slightly brisk but not yet constant enough to necessitate wearing any more than the standard black gym shorts, light…

I should get some sleep…
Update time… I was on the way home from work (not from Starbucks, more on that below) and almost started to rock out to the new Jimmy Eat World (Chase This Light), which is worth picking up if you haven’t already; it is rather infectious. But anyway, just as I was about to scroll down…

The Heart of the Matter
Just in case anyone was still in suspense, Metal/Mexican Monday was re-instituted; actually effective last week, which although I failed to mention here, was quite an amazingly refreshing day despite the rain (or maybe it was due to the rain and cold). Anyway, if you are to new to this, next Monday just remember to…

The Soundtrack
There’s a great scene in High Fidelity where John Cusack has records strewn all over the floor of his apartment. Its obvious he is organizing them, but when asked how by his friend, he reveals that he is organizing them autobiographically. Apparently, I’m not the only one that does this, but I seem to group…

The List(s)
Its been a while (since I’ve listened Staind), but I think its time for another top ten list. These used to be rather frequent, and it is time again for them to emerge to the forefront. Bullet point blogs used to also be in vogue, maybe I’ll bring those back someday. Anyway, I’ve been thinking…

Momentary Digression
Autumn is finally setting in, or at least I hope it is. By Autumn of course, it just means the highs hover around 80ish as opposed to 90ish, but the air is nicer and we actually had some much needed rain, as well as a couple of nice cloudy days (something I would not usually…

Starving for Autumn
It somewhat defeats the purpose of recreating a blog if one never writes in it. That was the best segue I could offer, this blog might be quite random, but those are usually the good ones once I am done having my way with them. Anyway, life has been, well, good. It can be mundane…

Toxic Relief*
I remarked on the phone the other day how my life tends to be rather ironic; usually in a comedic sense, which I suppose is the point of irony. It’s kind of like God’s way of making sure you don’t take everything too seriously, or at least so that you don’t put to much faith…
Got any book recommendations?
