				Well, today I picked up a 2 inch thick application to go study in Japan for a year.
Btw, that's why you haven't heard from me lately, and I haven't done any writing.  School has been SUPER busy.
I'm not sure when I'm going to find time to write, but I'll do my best.  It just won't be easy.

				Fel, all we can ask is that you do your best.  Going to Japan sounds fun, although I don't really have any desire.  But you are something of a motivator in that I have decided to return to school after 20+ years.  Although I am only going for a two year degree in Computer Networking.  I certainly haven't been too stressed yet, but I'm only just getting started.  It has helped that I already had an AA from twenty years ago.

				Oooh Fel, Japan is nice.  People there are polite.  Which part of Japan, by the way Fel?
You gave me heart to try to study after 20 years too.  That was about the last time i picked up a book to study.  Now it is pick up a book for the pleasure of reading.  But I may have to try to start to torture myself to get more educated.

				I'm definitely a fan of education, since I've already gotten one degree and am now working on my Masters.  I never realized that classes could be so boring.  

  But I have a lot more time to do what I really like, so it's worth it.  
Good luck on your Japan thing, Fel.

				One of my favorite quotes is
Knowledge is Power.
Power Corrupts.
Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.
Therefore go to school.  Get smart. Become Evil. Take over the World.

				Hmm someone pleads ignorance but is always on top of things.
You can plead ignorance until proven otherwise.  Is there a mistake in that statement??

We just went over this in Philosophy, look up Socrates.....

				Rather eat a cookie.
Japanese food is awesome. All food is awesome. I'd rather make a batch of cookies than look up Socrates. So have a cookie and know that no matter how much you think you know some one else will know more and some one else will know less. The only thing that we can know is ourselves as we exist right now. So have a cookie. Cuz you know you'll enjoy it, don't you?
p.s. All you cookies haters 
Also: won't it be cool to order Japanese food in Japanese!?! Way to learn another language for the sake of Sushi!

				Aaaarrrrrghh 

  My head is throbbing with all the philosophical statements flying all around. 
 
My Japanese philosophy in life ..... Be Zen.... white simple lines to enhance and black to hide in ... 
Don't make your life more complicated that it already is.  
Hmm what did Socrates says ... the world is round... Darn, my education is not rounded enough.

				Been a week, but the gist of it was, All I know is that I know nothing. 
                                                                                                          Starstryker

				My mama says "Life is like a box of chocolates"
You know what you gonna get if you look at the box wrappers carefully before you eat it.
the point is how many people look at the wrapper, hey its chocolate, it belongs in your mouth.
