philosophy in tupperware
I had another epiphany today. This happens on a daily basis, but I generally forget them within two days. I think if we were able to remember them all in every moment, we would have life basically figured out by the time we hit thirty. Why were we cursed with the ability to completely space on the very insight that would carry us on gossamer wings in all wisdom through every day? Maybe so that we need people, to remind us of what we already know.
Education: derived from "educare", meaning "to draw forth (what already exists within)."
My discovery was the ability to place every day in a little tupperware container. It makes shit a lot easier to handle. Put the lid on at night and wake up with a fresh container. Sounds incredibly cheesy, does it not? But it totally works. For example, today, I am aware of the fact that I need to work on my philosophy paper. I am not doing so, but the fact that I am not bleeding my thoughts into tomorrow and already planning how I'll squeeze it in before class gives me the freedom to do it now, because today is all I need to handle. Dammit, now I feel obligated to do it. Maybe this 'one day at a time' stuff isn't so hot after all.

jen: COME!!! you should tell people that you're also in love - with someone in Columbus (me, preferably.) then you can call the car you go in the Love Machine, and everyone will think you're so cool. that's what i would do anyway.
