It is Thursday, 4.24.08 and I can’t stay in this fucking apartment for one more day.
It’s gross, I’m gross, and I think that’s how I can tell I’m feeling better; because I’m noticing it. Today I woke up late and talked to Jeannine and worked out most of the plan for meeting up at Tokyo Station, and the itinerary for Golden Week. I still need to find a place to stay on the 30th in Kumamoto…
My swelling is going down, and I’m feeling better but I’ve still got headaches and dizziness. I think I’ll just take it easy tomorrow, even though it’s going to be pretty long. Rhonda dropped off a book for me, which was pretty nice. I, unfortunately, didn’t really feel like reading. I started watching John Adams, which is surprisingly awesome, but so incredibly American (naturally). I think that if anything, being in Japan has made me aware that the notion of ‘Social Contract’ and ‘Human Nature’ are horseshit. Not only because I’m reading too much Hegel, but also from spending so much time interacting with Japanese people, and observing the Japanese way of things.
I think this is the root of most of the problem, and I’ll be explaining it more thouroughly in the next Holism post, after I respond to San and then I also wanted to write a follow up to the last post on Intellectual Property. Yup. I think I’m feeling better.
I wish I had some 200ISO 35mm, but I guess 400 will have to do for tomorrow. I’m pretty pumped about getting out to shoot.
You’re wrong you know. Your epistemological foundations are so screwed up i don’t even know where to start. You seem to forget how uniquely selfish and self centered you are. Well i’ll be there in 30 hrs so i’ll school you on social contract then.
we seriously can’t fight about this while you’re here, there’s no couch for me to sleep on if it gets to neurology and behaviourism.
I can’t promise I’ll try…but I’ll try to try.
