One More Day
One more stinking day till the Pennsylvania Primary is over. I can’t wait. I took a bit of a break back there a few weeks ago, but now I’ve slowly dropped back in. Not a good thing at all.
Even knowing that it doesn’t make a bit of difference in the big picture, I still find myself paying it more attention than it deserves. I suppose that I should get another hobby.
On a related note, The Four Hour Work Week did not create a new life for me as I expected it would. I have to admit that the idea of automating my life so I can get down to some serious relaxing seems great. But, of course, it assumes that I can actually think up a thing or things to sell (e-books!) and then sell them. It just isn’t for me, I think.
I am now reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence which is a good book so far, even if the narrator is crazy. I think I’m becoming jaded, because I see Phaedrus’ search for ultimate truth as a bit naive. It doesn’t matter what is true in some greater objective sense, because nothing is true for more than one observer. Before you point out gravity or some other mundane aspect of what we call reality, let me say that no one can say exactly how it works, and without an explanation, I humbly submit, it can be observed, but not relied upon as true in a philosophical sense. This does not mean it isn’t practically true, but that’s a whole other kettle of fish.
