Happy Thanksgiving I guess
October 08, 2001
Do people even celebrate Thanksgiving anymore? I mean, how many turkey dinner dealies still exist for Thanksgiving in Canada? I get the turkey on Christmas or New Years, but I don’t think I have done anything out of the ordinary for Thanksgiving.
I got my long long hair cut off. It feels so good to not have hair poking in your eyes, or your mom telling you that you can make a small ponytail. Yeah. Thanks for reassuring your son’s masculinity (and Dennis owes me a purse).
I’m sick of reading accounting books. I’ve been doing that since I got home today in the afternoon. One more chapter tonight and that’s it. Then it’s writing a group project… nay, patching a group report from other member’s contributions. Blech. I’m tired.
Then I have this drawing project to work on. It’s going to be so great. I love it already. It’s not often that an accounting student gets creative bursts such as this… muahaha, if Picasso could make balance sheets, he would be me. I’m assuming you are wondering just what this ‘project’ is. You probably want me to tell you.
Anyway, 2nd airstrike today. Nothing new. I’m really tired of hearing about this stuff. I wish it would all go away and we can get back to our real news of how ducks are stuck in sewers and our local heroic police department valiantly rescues them. You know, real news that really matters. <cough cough>
Isn’t it great that I’m updating daily now? It feels great to be back baby.
“Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow” – Aesop (~550 BC)
I’ve been aware that many people have been seeing so called demons or faces in the smoke that billowed out of the wtc towers. Many of these pictures have been posted on artbell.com with even more comments. Here are two pages of just a bunch of them on the site [one & two]. This isn’t the first time faces have been seen anywhere. People see images of Mary or Jesus on windows, billboards, clouds, everything.
The human optical system forms familiar shapes and images when we see abstract things. It’s just the way our brain works. Many psychology books have examples of this. Aren’t these shadow faces just a more complex example of this phenomena?
I don’t know. That’s just what I think. Some people should really just reflect on this before screaming to the world that some divine being showed up on their picture of smoke or in their mash potatoes.
