it's blogging time. Post 1: Tuesday, 5/7/13

i have decided to start blogging again. why? well, i'm taking philosophy 100. a class that my dad told me not to take but as fate would have it, it's the one i chose over the history of modern medicine (because the prof in that class is a california hippy and i knew i wouldn't like her, plus my philosophy TA is this perky bubbly chatty guy that fences in national championships and is cool in general). anyway, we are going over epistemology now and it reminded me of a blog post i wrote a long time ago about whether things only existed once i was aware of them (or something i didn't explicitly write, that people's entire existences were based on me knowing them at a later point in time, requiring them to exist before i actually met that person). so i read a bunch of older posts looking for this one and read through the comments, and i was reminded of how cool i used to be (or at least, i think i was cool!) so i'd like to take up blogging again and hopefully i'll read this later on in life and be like, "wow i was a really cool kid" so yeah, this is my life. at 22 and a quarter.
