*sigh*, what can be said of my little life? That's a good question.

Seeing friends and family is nice, but I feel as if I have nothing to say to anyone. I can sit quietly through a party or bar and not feel an urge to say a single word. And I'm not sure as to why this is.

Everything that I have ended up thinking about recently, I have tried to make analogous situations in science. I feel that the descriptive words used by many people in non-science topics are vague and ill-defined. I want an analogous situation where the terms being used are precise and concise. While I know that to some people this flies in the face of Nietzsche and most post-modern literature, I stick my tongue out to you.

Nietzsche doesn't piss me off so much, but everyone quoting him pisses me off. While his work was influential, it is often misinterpreted as the be all and end all of modern philosophy. His work tends make people believe that there isn't much else left to discuss, when in reality there are plenty of philosophical problems left and I don't think ol' Fredrich was completely right anyways. I think he was a product of his times and made some good arguments against the philosophers of the times, but he is by no means an answer. He just redefined the terms we have to work with, or approached the problem (of everything I guess) from a different direction. There are no answers in philosophy, just definitions of what is at stake.

Well enough of my vague philosophical ramblings. I'm reading The Lurking Fear and Other Stories by H.P. Lovecraft. I can see why his work is considered classic in the horror genre. I like the idea of unameable, unspeakable horror which drives you mad just by seeing it. His use of adjectives is both precise and vague, which seems contradictory, but it stimulates the imagination.

So here's me with my tickets to fun this summer. The Folk Music Festival looks interesting, maybe I can expand my mind into the indie and acoustic rock...as doubtful as it seems now. Shambhala looks like a crazy good time, and I keep hearing nothing but great things. I'll be in fine dancin mood for it, shoulder shimmy, ass wigglin and all. You gotta get up before you can get down.
