Imagining Being

Well, the weekend is just about over and it's been pretty good. I enjoy Virginia: seeing my family, being part of my grandfather's wedding, drinking Yuengling, driving on wide roads, watching cable TV...yeah it's been good, but the drive sucks, and unfortunately, I have to make that same drive again in about 8 hours. Pictures of the weekend, family bonding, my month-old niece, and the wedding will follow soon.

I'm a bit too tired and drunk right now to really write anything, but needless to say I have been thinking a lot about context and relation. In philosophy grad school one has to kind of, well, have a philosophy. I know what mine is, and it is mostly still just a feeling, or the thought of a thought, but soon I will have it encapsulated into a cogent statement. Needless to say it deals with ideas of primordial ethics, frameworks, urges, localized reality, postmodernity, and cell phones. So, stay tuned and I hope to soon have something either written or at least defined in regards to my own personal philosophy. But as a springboard: I believe that all philosophy is based on ethics and begins with ethics. So, think about that, or comment on that, or ignore that, but in some way let that at least affect your life for a little while.

Also, I am pretty sure that I am going to write my paper in my Philosophy of Imagination class on the Cain and Abel story. I am not going into the whole of Kearney's exposition on imagination or his exigesis on the Hebraic imagination, but my thesis deals with the link between the imagination, alibis, and creativity. It will surely be posted, but not for a few months, you know, when it's written.

Well, I'm going to bed: need to rest before I traverse most of the East coast via highway. Goodnight, good luck, and I hope that your dreams are reflective of the creativity of your imagination and the essence of your being.
