The beginning...I guess.
As if life were not busy enough, I must set this blog thing up. I've never spent more than ten minutes reading anyone else's blog. Many other things to do with my limited time on this planet as I exist in this human form. Why should I do this?
Really...Why should I think that anyone would want to read what I have to say? Isn't that hubris? The ultimate conceit. Don't I have better things to do? Go outside and breathe fresh air. Exercise. Surf (in the ocean). Socialize. Read. Run. Ride the rhythm of life at its biorhythmic best. Rest. Recharge. Spend time with my wife, dogs, family, and friends.
It just doesn't seem psychologically healthy. Man has adapted/evolved to be an active creature--not sedentary. For example, look at Jack LaLanne--now there's one healthy dude!!! Juiced and all! Yes, I also acknowledge that man or woman is (or at least can be) a thoughtful or conscious being. However, hours on end plugged into an electron-photon highway of infomatic diarrhea cannot be good for the mind body and soul of the homo sapien in a homeless, rootless time. Here and now we are. Yet we seem to want to maintain the same form for eternity. Not possible! Everything must change and shift though it will remain part of the whole. As you can tell I don't quite buy into this blogging blasphemy.
Reflection upon one's on thoughts and actions is something that ought to be private and meditated upon by the individual (Maybe?). Perhaps shared with a few confidantes. I suppose it depends on the quality or marketability of those thoughts. Yet here we are in the 21st Century. Millions waiting to be discovered on the web. WHY??? Are there no lessons to learned of the fraility of the rich and famous. What pomposity as I speak in a pompous tone of my own. 15 minutes of Warholian fame or 15 millenia? Or will we remain undiscovered and uncatagorized by the Googles and Yahoos of the great Earth Mother.
It is very difficult to take this seriously and it's not because I don't take my life seriously. It's just that there are so many other wonderful things to do and see in this life. Well then. Why am I writing here? I need to do this for an action research project that I need to finish for my MA in Educational Technology from Pepperdine University. I will try to record my thoughts and actions regarding my teaching of math and science--perhaps I'll share a little bit more. I've tried this before in 2002, yet bored so easily.
