My undergrad degree is a B.A. in Philosophy from Long Island University. Studied with Bob Brier, who co-published with J.B. Rhine - Father of Parapsychology while at Duke U. Brier is known for having made the first human, Egyptian-style mummy in 2000 years, on TLC. He is also an Egyptologist. Bob met Carlos Casteneda at the yearly gathering on Halloween (1974) at Harry Houdini's grave. That was when I learned that Don Juan Matus was a fiction.

Hehe, be careful when you go off like that, because you might end up sounding like Abraham Simpson and his stories.. Just messing with ya, man.

Philosophy means 'love of wisdom,' for those who haven't pondered the word. If that is boring, it is only because your mind is suffused with the emotion called boredom, which prevents one from 'digging' that which life offers you.

Boredom sucks and is completely pointless. If we can't be happy in whatever situation we are presented with in this life, then we are missing the point of us being here, alive and breathing, forever breathing... Here and now...

But then again, I guess that I AM going over to Oslo and then into Sweden, with a chance to buy all sorts of fireworks that they won't sell here legally (reminds me of my days living in Iowa and our yearly trips up to South Dakota to get the illegal supplies for our own shows, and then me stealing from my dad's stock to take into the small town where my friends lived to raise our own hell at night... )

I guess I am starting to sound like good ole' Abe as well, recounting the stories of old.... 'course, back in those days, we called fireworks Chink Chunks and I got in a fist fight with Theodore Roosevelt, who back in those days was called Sally...
Peace.
Peace.
