Is there anything else I can touch that will break this week???

Which is worse: the futility of existence or the cognizance of it?

Knowledge of futility does not come about without cognizance, and thus the two cannot be had without the other, that is if one comes to the conclusion that cognizance implies a realization of futility.

Indeed. Does consciousness add any meaning to otherwise futile existence? What purpose can pain possibly fulfill if I can't feel it? It certainly is no empirical evidence, but can existence be futile (or otherwise) without the cognizance of it?

Back to the voice-rolling thing, which I cannot seem to clear from my mind, check this out:

That is Guy Sebastion, winner of the first Australian Idol, singing the song What a Wonderful World.

It was considered absolutely brilliant, and I find it very good too.

Only it is a little too much rolling, as far as I'm concerned.

Almost laughable.

What a mess of cables I have here!

Everything begins at cognizance, and thus epistemic modes of inquiry are the only ways to look into the world, as oppose to looking introvertedly, which is what philosophy does.

time for a nap?

[Idril]

Here we go again, 2 days of school and his health is already a mess.

Here we go again, 2 days of school and his health is already a mess.

It's always the way Idril... My son always gets sick either the first of second day of school. It's like an appointment. Ah well keep him warm and happy. He'll be up and running around before you know it.

[Idril]

I took him out last semester because there was so much junk going around and he kept getting sick. He has Crohn's Disease and the treatment he receives to control that suppresses his immune system something fierce, then he gets sick and has to take antibiotics, which in turn screws up his gut, which necessitates more treatment and it's just this frustrating cycle. He hasn't been sick since I took him out, he even grew a couple inches which is HUGE for adolescents with this disease and now he's back and he's had a bad Crohn's flare which was bad enough to require an infusion and prednisone and he's come down with what I suspect is either strep throat or bronchitis within one week. I take him into the doctor tomorrow and I have no doubt they will put him on antibiotics and the whole dang thing will start all over again...this kid is never going to graduate.

Why is life so unkind?

I'm sorry Idril. Have you considered letting him enroll in an online based schooling program? I know a few teens that are doing one in lieu of homeschooling, and they seem to like it well enough. It may be a good alternative way to see to both his health and his schooling. Regardless, I hope that things get better soon.

I'm thinkin' about the stupid meeting that I should go to. . . . . *grumble*

[Scheherazade]

I am pretty much sure I am gonna regret this...
