I love nature and the wilderness, and finding abandoned places hidden in the mountains. It's eerie and alluring to me, but I especially find it beautiful because I like seeing an old man-made structure returning to nature, becoming a part of the land once again. Mother nature is powerful, and it is beautiful to see that in these old structures. I realized that this past weekend when I went on a hike up in the San Bernadino national park. To go off topic slightly, I also love towns around the mountains, like the city of Redlands, absolutely beautiful and I could just stare out the window all day and make a million stops to take pictures....

Food for Thought: Woody Allen
"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down." Woody Allen.
Food for Thought
I found this quote on my friend's facebook page and I really like it, don't know who it's from, but I'm posting it here to share because...well, sharing is caring heh heh.
"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but opening your hands to receive something better."
Food for Thought: Albert Einstein
"He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed."
-Albert Einstein
Food for Thought: Ants
I came across this while doing some philosophy homework I had. Quite uplifting if I may say so myself...and informative at the same time, I mean, I had no idea ants did this. Fascinating indeed. And may I mention that it's 5:11 am and I've had no sleep. weeeeeee.
An ant releases a chemical when it dies, and its fellows then carry it away to the compost heap. Apparently the communication is highly effective; a healthy ant painted with the death chemical will be dragged to the funeral heap again and again. (Carol R. Ember and Melvin Ember, Cultural Anthropology 7th ed.)
I s'pose I can appreciate when there are miscommunications sometimes...
Philosophizing: Love
I've been feeling childish and giddy this past weekend.
So I was thinking in the shower as I normally do, and I think love is childish.
Childish in the fact that it is simple.
It's carefree and innocent.
When being a kid, things are pretty simple.
I think it's harder for adults to comprehend and fall in love because things are more complicated. There are strings attached, and too much to worry about.
I'm feeling childish.
Anyways, that's my current view as of this weekend.
Fluxus
Fluxus - "To flow." The Manifesto 1963 by George Maciunas: Purge the world of bourgeois sickness, "intellectual", professional and commercialized culture. Promote a revolutionary flood tide in art. Promote living art, anti-art, promote non art reality to be grasped by all peoples, not only professionals...
