A weasel post
Last day of history essay writing. Tomorrow, it will all be over. No more history. No more historiographical analysis. No more memorizing authoritative quotes. No more learning dates. No more reading historical journals online. No more...oh wait, damn, I'm doing it for university. Argh.
So I put up two more essays here. By the way, someone emailed me a while ago, berating me for assuming that my essays were "good enough" to be on the internet, and that I should think twice before I put up "second-grade misinformation", quote unquote. I don't quite know how to respond to this.
I've probably mentioned something like this before, but I've always believed that if you can't remember what you've done/ learnt/ accomplished/ thought in any one day, that day hasn't been worth your effort. I get a relatively large amount of mail about idleThinK (about 3-5 a week, which is not bad for a personal site :P), asking me how I have such an "interesting life" that I can write about it every day, or asking me when I'm going to run out of things to say, and when idleThinK is going to stop being updated. First of all, I don't have an interesting life, and in fact my life is rather dull. Ask anyone who knows me. I spend a lot of it reading or drawing or kickboxing, or something. The only thing that's remotely interesting are the things passing through my head on a daily basis, and that's what I write about. So related to that, I don't think I'll ever run out of things to say, because knowledge isn't finite and thought can never be, by any definition, stagnant. So, no, idleThinK isn't going to suddenly stop being updated with random philosophical thought, because there is no end to it :)
Anyway, that was a weasel post, writing about idleThinK instead of actual idleThinKing :) Too bad.
