Chapter Nine

I thought of something I actually have been able to make perfect sense of this morning at approximately 0120, and I'm pretty excited about it. Not because it's profound or anything (trust me, it's not), but it's something I resolutely decided upon without outside bias throwing me about. I was having a debate on facebook, and I noted everything to be derived by circumstance, in itself nothing particularly interesting or new. Pretty lame, actually. But then I was asked to expound upon this, to define it. Well, this is what I came up with in a nutshell (I'll save the meat for my real writing, not this humble blog):
Circumstance comes in four forms:

Spiritual
Emotional
Educational
Relational

K, a quick interjection before I expound upon each of these--I totally did not intend to find an acronym for "seer" as I thought of this in my head, but it was really amazing to find out that it was.

Essentially, these circumstances define what interests us and who we are by that basis. On that level, not a whole not more definition should be necessary.

Spiritual circumstances are those that relate to one's succeptibleness (is this even a word?) to superstition, myth, and most crucially, religion. Tied deeply into this is familial tradition, and this is a key part of what influences character from birth, regardless of whether one is "religious" or not and "superstitious" or not.

Emotional circumstances are those that relate to the figurative "heart." I would like to isolate this, though, as the heart in connection to other hearts. Friends, family, etc...; they all fit here. Being quite self-explanitory in its most basic nature, I shant expound on it any further.

Educational circumstances refer to anything the person in question cares to learn, care obviously being the key word in this. However one learns, schooling or otherwise, learning in of itself is very situational and determines one's interests and cares from a fairly early age outside of spiritual/traditional bounds. Remember that education will always extend beyond the classroom.

Relational circumstances...yes, they have absolutely nothing to do with relationships. Instead, this is centred more on the self, and the selfish nature of man. This covers anything that ties back to the person in question. For instance, silly high school gossip would fit right into this catagory, as it will immediately interest he or she that is the subject of such rumours and quite easily affect their fragile teenage decisions.

Linear Algebra's about to begin. Bai until later.

Chapter Eight

I need a new picture. I can't even remember the details of this one. Maybe I'll use my Facebook one; it looks ever so slightly happier.
More importantly, though, I need to cut my hair for a racquetball tourney on September 27th. I was contemplating wearing a bandana as I was working so wonderfully on growing my hair out, but these plans are simply not practical. So arrivederci to my dreams of long hair resembling that of the lead singer of Journey's.
Now to the meat of life. In a matter of hours I will be back in Mesa and I suppose this is mildly exciting, though the basic facts are that it is largely a "business" trip. i do indeed regret this, but I have no time to waste anymore, and this fact is still slowly sinking into my skin. Life is hard, and for me it has oft been so, but it's imperative to get it right here.
A number of my friends now have scolded me for being "non-commital" to young ladies that apparently display some sort of superficial affection to me, but I am content in remaining this way, for I must first learn to understand them, hopefully respect them, and then, then maybe. Do I "like people?" Sure. But that means absolutely nothing, and beyond the length of this paragraph, it's quite simply another waste.
I had a long argument with my feminist English prof. Now, I certainly have nothing against feminism, but by Jove is this woman absolutely ridiculous. Anyway, the nature of the argument was as such: She believes that man is a hindrance to the growth of society. I challenged this, arguing that the opposite case is true. She freaked out. I calmly responded. She ignored me. I hate to be what they call a "smart-ass," but such emotional and bias teachers are really not even worth talking to anyway.
More so than ever, I would define myself as absurd. It's a lovely role to want to take.
People at University seem to be generally kind, and it's nice. However, there are still those morons who think that spouting off meager attempts at wisecracks is actually a "cool" thing to do. And actually, it may be a cool thing to do; they oft get good reactions for their idiocy in a manner far beyond my own cover thereof, with people not having the adequate mental capacity to recognize the overall want of intelligence and understanding.
Yeah, I'm judging. It's been too long, and I have a plan in the works, I just need to try to get a friend in on it.
