I am grading 240 ten page papers. Needless to say, it's not that fun.
Sometimes I drink beer when I grade papers. It is my way of grading on a curve. Some students ask, "will you mark our papers on a curve?" And I reply, "Only if I have been drinking." Ha, they think I'm joking.
My plagiarizer radar (plagdar) is at full power. 8%...

Bad attitude day.
Such a grim world:
Think of how smart or how much common sense the AVERAGE person has, then realize that half the population is dumber than they are.
Sometimes I am a negative bastard

All the self-proclaimed prophets dressed up to look like poets
Pretendin' to be martyrs that they're not
You can learn all their names
And engrain them on your brains
Memories so you can spout them off the top
Yo kill 'em all, and let God give 'em haircuts
The flood has begun, and no one has been paired up
So I'ma take a second and beckon the downfall
Of your so called civilized nation
Yo stop the sound now!

OK, I'll update. But, I will make you pay. Life has been non-existent, as I am overloaded with grading papers, 240 students x 10 pages each. I am working on three writing projects, have the responsibility to run a theory seminar, and the list goes on. I am currently hopped up on cold medication and caffeine. I caught myself thinking that if I had a...

I am in love with Simone de Beauvoir; before I get to that, a public service announcement:
First, bulk fake bacon-bits are damned good.
Second, Existentialism is not nihilism. The coffee-shop philosophers have and continue to misinterpret existentialism as being this negative angst-filled teen philosophy. Although existentialism discusses what some may see as dark issues, its end result is ultimately optimistic. Discussions of purpose, meaning,...

i say, grow it back--Fuckum!

it was a pannel discussion and ol prof dude was being asked about what was to come with new research and how he felt about this stuff comming up, the room went silent. looking back if i wasn't in the room and just as mortified as everyone elese, it would have been funny.
the thing is, about a month into when i was working for him, we were talking about his lack of proactive research, and i commented that he had "gone soft" in his age. hummmm?

It is not about suffering, but the senselessness that often accompanies suffering.
Nietzsche believed that our problem is not suffering itself, but the lack of meaning or apparent purpose to the suffering. In fact, he believed that at times we will seek out suffering, provided that there is an apparent meaning for it, a purpose in the suffering.

So much of nothing new.
I have been shopping for a pocket pc. Canada has no selection, and everything is much more expensive than in the states.

Oh man, I am obsessed with the power of caffeine.
Ive been spending at least five days a week at this tea lounge. The atmosphere is good and quality loose-leaf tea is amazing. I am truly an addict now; I drink so much of it (maybe a half-gallon?) that I begin to tremble and become overly enthusiastic about the most mundane topics. Everything develops this...

I'm a little brain dead; it's 3:30am. So here is another short poem:
The Dark Corner
The Wine Maiden
on this jazz laden night
squeezes
luscious grapes
with ruby lips
letting dew drops drip
Upon me
sweet breasts
pressed firmly
against faint skin.

Ive got the mid February Blahs. I am in need of a change in scenery, warmer weather (I am only asking for above freezing), and something green. In fact, I actually need a little drama in my life, some action. I gotta find a Drama Queen to help stir up some shit.
Being much to engrossed in Continental/Existential philosophy is not helping either. I have...

i took a night class a few years back with a prof that has a serious dependency on alcohol (somthing that apatently runs high in the anthro deprt.) it was the best class ever, it was supposed to be about the americas and their economies in prehistoric times, but it was really about what beer tastes best at what site...i learned a great deal that semester.
that reminds me of George Carlin's
I, myself, have killed six people. All random, all undetected, no way to trace them to me. And, let me tell you, there's nothin' to it. It's a great feeling. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Aw, he's a comedian. He's just sayin' that stuff." Good. That's exactly what I want you to think.
OFF TO THE DEAN WITH YOU!
what class are you grading for?
Because of this entry, I too will have sleep problems. All it takes for me is the suggestion that I will not be able to sleep.
Spread the love, that's what i say
