Profession as Identity 2007-04-23 02:42:16 When introducing myself to a new person and asked about myself, the criteria I have typically used are:
Profession
Current employment
Education
I don’t like what this says about the way we view our identities. Let me break down why each of these items bothers me and give some thoughts about how I view identity.
Profession: I don’t [...]
Sunday Christians 2007-04-21 23:03:47 I have no respect for the religious beliefs of SundayChristians
. I am defining these as the people who go to church on Sundays because that’s what they’re supposed to do. The people who claim and practice their religion only because that’s what they were taught is right.
This goes for practitioners of any religion, not [...]
Sunshiney Pigeons 2007-04-21 21:57:56 I was watching a small flock of pigeons while I was sitting at a stop light on my way to work this morning. It was about ten minutes before full dawn, the sky was patchily overcast with dark grey clouds, and tendrils of sunlight were coming over the mountain, lighting the undersides of some of [...] Read more:Pigeons
Promise to the Reader 2007-04-21 11:28:25 One more item before I get started on the true meat of the posts. This is a promise to you, gentle reader.
I promise that I will never get embroiled in blog politics.
I promise that I will not get too far off topic.
I promise that my posts will not stray too far into my personal life.
I [...] Read more:Reader
Philosophy Behind the Blog 2007-04-21 10:20:48 For the first entry, I will explain a bit of my motivation in writing a blog. Pure and simple, I believe that I have things to say that other people (that would be you) would like to read. Writing that, it sounds a bit egotistical, but why else would I spend the time and bother [...] Read more:Philosophy
Awe and Majesty 2007-04-27 22:04:29 I recently took a trip to Carlsbad Caverns.
As I traversed the caverns, I had to often stop and stare in awe and wonder. The caverns are amazing and magnificent and beautiful. I would attempt to describe them, but there is no way I can do them justice. I could never describe the majesty of the [...] Read more:Majesty
Provacative Youths 2007-04-24 23:40:53 Happyville Library recently posted about her disgust with the behavior of a couple of teenage girls as they waited for a ride home after the library. She mostly focused on the attitude and lack of respect shown by the ringleader of these girls, but she seemed to react most strongly to the sexually provocative [...]
On Body Modification 2007-05-02 02:29:44 I once had a customer who, during his demand for a refund, used the fact that the business was located across the street from a tattoo parlor as the main basis for his complaint. Because, obviously, a tattoo parlor in the area means that it’s a horrible neighborhood and instantly ruins any value that [...]
What is a game? 2007-05-08 00:28:28 I have a small confession to make, Gentle Reader. I hope this is not something that is too shocking for you: I am a self-proclaimed gamer.
I tell you this in that it relates to the recent refocusing of the sights of the anti-video game groups in the wake of recent tragedies. If you [...]
Types of games 2007-05-12 01:04:52 In my last post, I proposed a definition of “game” to get us thinking about games and what they are. Today I would like to talk about what they mean to us, as a society, as well as touch on why we think about them this way.
I focus on a few different categories of [...]
