    Yeah I do miss human interaction, but then again I was never much of a social butterfly, but then again I love people, but then again I cannot stand most people my age, lol. Most interaction comes from a small circle of friends completely unlike me, as well as the friends here, whom I relate to much more

    Oh thanks. Lol. That's what I'm here for

    I'm reading The Incoherence of the Philosophers very good and influencial Islamic philosophy

    Thank you. It's from Muller's Hamletmachine (as you probably know from the sig, lol). I've read the play in my studies concerning postmodern and postdramatic theatre. The play is somewhat of a varation on Hamlet and is only about eight pages long. Though, there is no particular plot to the play or drama or narrative (hence postdramatic) and is rather a series of moments, despairs and enviroments. A truly haunting and masterful work of contemporary theatre.

    Ah school. . . .well, to put it bluntly I find it so easy that I sometimes make it too hard for myself by volunteering to do a lot of extra work for no extra credit and in the end straying away from the original assignment or whatnot. So in the end, I am quite overwehlmed and even had somewhat of a minor breakdown today.

    Hey I really like the Al-Ghazali quote in your signature. I just started reading him (as well as the Qu'ran) and realized that he was in your sig

    To tell you the truth, I find Plato and Aristotle to be quite wanting by todays standards since they have been so widely repeated and criticized, but in discovering Islamic philosophy, it feels like such a breathe of fresh air. And even more so with ancient Chineese philosophy. Have you ever read Tao Te Ching? Oh it is truly unique and captivating in its enigmatic beauty, certainly beyond any other philosopher anywhere else in the world at the time.

    Hi Qim
    thanks for your concern but everything's going alright!

    Life bounces
    like a ball
    goes up but
    ultimately has to
    come down
    as long as the curse of
    gravity persists!

    Ok, I checked it out. Looks good, but I would say one thing...the tiny lettering, such as lettering which states the dates of your entries (think they are pinkish/red and fine type), those are hard to read. Also, on this main page the same thing occurs with the lettering beneath your friend's avatars. If you bring that up one shade darker, it will show up better, or use another color, which shows on the medium gray - even a dark gray or black would work.

    Yes, I like this better. It blends more without one element taking over another. Good job, quimissung. I didn't check out the blog yet. Let me go now and see look at it. If you change it again and need help let me know. I enjoy doing these profile pages or at least suggesting things.

Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout

by qimissung on 12-15-2012 at 02:13 AM
I live in the United States of America, and we had another school shooting today. With horror I listened to the news reports that a gunman had gone into an elementary school and killed 27 people, 20 of them “children between the ages of 5 and 10.” And I listened tiredly and wearily to the usual rhetoric of the newscast without end as they recounted the “worst school shooting in an elementary school.”
I guess they are doing the best they can, but you simply can’t put a qualifier or adjective

In Memoriam

by qimissung on 04-03-2012 at 11:05 PM
One of my former students-he graduated last year-was shot and killed last night around 10 o'clock.

He had just finished playing a game of basketball and was sitting in a car on a dark street, with his cousin. They were waiting for his cousin's ride when another car drove up. It was someone they knew and they argued over a girl his cousin had been seeing. The young man in the car pulled out a gun and shot them. Victor was shot two times in the back. He was treated at a nearby hospital,

The Anger and The Anguish

by qimissung on 01-04-2012 at 02:24 PM
I read several good books in 2011. I read "Candide," "The Crying of Lot 49", "Housekeeping," "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," and "The Dubliners." I read others, but these I read last fall and today it is of "The Dubliners" I speak.

I've been wanting to read something by Joyce. Eventually I hope to read "Ulysses." I think that might be akin to saying that someday I'd like to climb Mount Everest, for

The Bird's Nest

by qimissung on 12-27-2011 at 03:20 PM
looking at it I knew it was different
a bird's nest
full of hope and fear
and the cavalier fulsomeness of life
the blind ability to get up each day under the weight of it all
to go out every day believing you were one of the masses
dressed in the same uniform
believing the same things
that god is good
that love will find a way
believing or hoping to believe that
the others would not notice your vampiric differences

I acquire some books

by qimissung on 12-04-2011 at 08:13 PM
I got up yesterday morning, a Saturday, around 5:45. I washed my face and dressed and walked to my car in the dark. I stopped by my local Starbucks and treated myself to a tall mocha.

I then made my way down Midway to 635; from there to Central Expressway from which I exited at Northwest Highway. My destination was the Half-Price Books located there, or rather the warehouse that I knew was located near it.

Once I arrived I noticed, somewhat to my chagrin, that there
