| "So care not for owning books and knowledge, but care rather for the works of goodness"
I try to avoid quoting St. Francis, but I find it to be a wonderful justification for my old selling books on amazon.com.

| Okay okay, I rescind my former misogynistic entry.
Nevertheless, I'm giving up on romance for good.
Yo-ho yo-ho it's the celibate life for me
Okay this really isn't as bitter angst ridden as it reads. I just have nothing to say.
However, I am content to be single.

| It is strange that whenever I face the blinking cursor of the blank blog text box I respond in kind: with much blinking and blank mindedness. Maybe I am an apophatic blogger, but that is not very interesting.
Perhaps I should brew a cup of coffee and give it another try. A strong cup-o-joe can animate even the most inert phantasms of the mind.
Women lie.

| I work on a laundry truck. Basically, I sit in the back of a box truck and scan in bags of laundry that Emory students bring to the truck. It's fairly mindless labor and if it is slow enough I am able to get some work done. On Friday I was working on an outline for a paper I am writing on Qoheleth (otherwise known as Ecclesiastes, the topic of a couple of my latest blog entries... not Saw V). One girl brings her bag and while I'm scanning it in, asks me what I'm working on. She asks me to explain some of the main ideas in Qoheleth to her and she frowns and responds, "Interesting... sounds very Buddhist".
It was clear she didn't like the "depressing" message and she may have used categorization to distance herself from it. This is a little difficult for me to fathom because I find the message to be inherently positive and empowering in a very realistic way. As the conversation continued, it was clear that she didn't like the idea that there is no real profit or accumulation that survives past death.
Is the profitless nature of transient human existence a problem or an encouragement?
