First dunken journal entry! Yay!!

Just back from an evening out at the Youth Cafe friends of mine built and are running, I need tog et my ass of the internets and start organizing the next poetry slam.

If I have plenty of stuff to do, I do plenty of stuff extra besides it. If I have bugger all to do I spend the entire day browsing the internets doing bugger all.
Typical student: Nothing to do and barely get's it done.

Here in Munich I've been crashing at my parents for the last half year or so. It's strange how horrible it is to live at your parents again, while at the same time my entire luxury/freedom of doing what I want all the time (mostly nothing or studying physics), without having to worry about anything is financed by them. I'm being ungrateful.

This wine sucks. No surprise there, it cost 2...

I'm oscillating rapidly between exctatic and annoyed/depressed. It's a strange twilight situation at the moment, still over a month till I move but mentally I'm gone already.

The problem with structuralism/poststructuralism (and the assosciated constructivist positions) is that it does not properly deal with the simple fact that we are part of this world. Philosophers generally tend to forget this. That's why philosophy (and theory in general) is so useless. It still can be pretty though! All the pretty theories!! My precious theories!!! Precious!!!

I feel like I'll start a complaining/arguing/partially offensive thread/big argument in the feminism group. Just for a little sparring and friendly clashing of heads.

I need a different profile picture.

The Hurt (by NIN) cover of Jonny Cash is awesome. I need to listen to more different kinds of music, suggestions?

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real

PostSecret is quite possibly the best site on the internet.
For some strange reason it is carthatic. "It's ok to be human"

"Is it even possible to reach out and touch another person?
To dent their flesh with my fingertips?
Why all the conventions the walls to prevent such happenings?" - Lee Ranaldo, Notebook

The old empathy problem, how does one actually connect with another person? Their secrets, their self. I still can't fathom this. How to share the inexpressible?

There is indeed the inexpressible. This shows itself; it is the mystical.
- Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico Philosophicus, 6.522

Wittgenstein arrives after many many pages of studying the nature of expression and language, after hundreds of points of precise and pure logical caluclation and construction at this point.
But how does one show oneself?

I'm being melodramatic again. I blame it on the bad wine. This feels like headache tomorrow. Nevermind I've got nothing to do (except for the Conformal Field Theory lecture. Look, I know words you don't!! actually that might be a fair bet, there might indeed be nobody on SG who can define a conformal field theory but me, I'm clearly a freak)

Sg is fantastic, there's a whole damn lot of features and materials and a very unique user interface that makes them inaccesible except through the social networks that exist. No search function for members, thank god! (Or I haven't found it yet). I'm just randomly browsing and reading lot's of interessting journals by interessting people. Lovely!

Enough already! (Still not drunk enough though...)
