pro cross da nation

but really I'm gonna get some benefit from this free-write...get the old juices flowing...get in the zone...I learned in my religions of the world class that way back in the day there were two major types of religions, agrarian peoples spirituality was based on the rhythms of nature and thus their understanding of time was circular. the other major group of people were nomads, warriors, hunters, who saw time more as having more a linear bent. It seems to me that this still kind of exists today with the east west culture split. he east is circular, the west linear. so, by extension, the union of these two modes of thought should be spiral....which makes more sense to me...I talked to this girl at this rally..and she said she was a philosophy major..and I wanted to engage her in philosophical topics so I asked what classes she was taking and she said she was taking this class on Heidegger..but it didn't happen because A: I was taking a break from caffeine do my mental faculties were on the fritz B: she was totally giving off a neurotic vibe which meant I would have to be totally on point and C: her means for analyzing being were very different from my own....I would spit zen-hippy nonsense while she, i imagine, spits out names and big words....really the whole event was one in which I fell totally out of place...this activism thing is totally a scene...I've never been comfortable in a scene...
