Freewill?? Destiny?? "Determinism"???

2008-09-07T11:24:00.000-07:00

I believe that we control are own fates. As humans we have to make up our mind in every situation we face, in every aspect of our daily life. So with saying this I think that freewill is more plausible than the others. As I stated early we use the ability of freewill every second of our lives and forever more.Yes there are outside factors that we cannot control such as where we are born,family,social class of our birth,creed,and love. But we cannot dwell on things outside our control we must further advance our self on the things we can and by doing this you are practicing freewill.The idea of destiny is one I find fictitious I don't believe that god has a set plan for everyone. Why? Because If we were put on this earth by a higher omnipotent force I would like to hope we were put on here to live a life to its full potential and I don't see living a life in that manner by following a trail already laid out for you. I've always liked the quote "Why follow a path when you can create your own." Destiny leaves no room for creativity. Cause if you have an idea or a new outlook on life whats the purpose then, if it would've happened anyway and what if it was just not your "destiny" for it to happened at all. Maybe in some sense somethings are just meant to happen maybe I'm wrong maybe destiny can co-exist with freewill maybe we were meant to lose friday night for a reason or maybe we controlled our own fates by not playing a great game whatever the answer is I know I have the right, the freewill to ponder over this question or just forget about it. And for anyone who disagrees with me go ahead disagree you'll just be exercising your freewill to oppose my belief and you'll just be proving me right.

ohhhh paradox!!!!

The scene with the prostitute

2008-08-31T13:15:00.000-07:00

First off the prostitute is a representation of American. That fact that she is "Stark naked" is the author showing American in its true form a nation were many men are prejudice and have terrible stereotypes on the black man. This is symbolic of the nation in which people of different creeds have to live in. Yes its a beautiful place to live just like how the author described the prostitute but in its true form some parts are terrible. This effects the overall story by showing that is a place in which the narrator has to live in

A very old man with enorumous wings

2008-08-21T20:55:00.000-07:00

I believe that the old man that laid there
in that muddy soil is something more than just an old man but something less than an angel. I think he could be classified as both not just the one or the other. His demeanor and bad bodily movements,functions and signs of an experaston date. But the fact that he causes all of these strange happenings to people makes me think he may be of supernatural decent.
"The blind man who didn't recover his sight but grew three new teeth"
"The paralytic who didn't get to walk but almost won the lottery"
All of these bizarre events were all caused by the old man for better or worse. I think the showings of both sides leads me to believe he is both. But the real angel in this story is the wife who takes care of this person even when scrutinized.

What does the Cathedral symbolize?

2008-08-20T08:24:00.000-07:00

Reading the Cathedral I think it symbolizes enlightenment and breaking down basis we have of the things around us. For example this passage displays the prejudgements of the narrator before he even meets the "blind man".
"My idea of being blind came from the movies. The blind moved slowly and never laugh."

I Belive: A Wet Hot American Shower

2008-08-18T17:56:00.000-07:00

The constant routine of school and football for seven months straight, five days a week has left a lingering stench and stress on my teenage life. But there’s a light at the end of this smelly tunnel. Because I believe in something that contradicts the dirty, rough, tiring field of school and football I believe in taking a long, hot shower. For as long as I could remember I've always been in love with the game of football but just recently I started to play (Five years to be exact). Seeing the players on the television screen I never realized the amount of hard work and the effort that goes into being a student of the game. And now playing it everyday I realize just how hard it is there are ups and downs I wondered what keeps these amazing players going? Is it the large amount of money? Or is it the fame that gets them up everyday to workout? For me it’s the fact that I know that soon I will be in my domain, my shower. When I hit that shower the hot rushing water hits my body and sends chills and Goosebumps up and down. When I'm embraced with that water if feels as though I can breath deeper, longer. And when I’m in that shower im just not washing away the dirt from that harsh gridiron Im washing away all my worries ive had from the day and prior. The magic of the shower is one I ponder over especially in the shower; all that time I spend in there you should see my parent’s water bill but the magic of it I can’t fully comprehend. At nights after a good shower it can put me sound asleep into the uncluttered recesses of mind I have no worries. And in the morning when I walk into my bathroom strip and hop in it wakes me up even from the best of sleep. This may not be the most groundbreaking belief or idely agreed but it’s my belief and until the water runs out it’ll be mine forever.
