think i got a cold from being outside tnight :( or the fact that i'm eating poorly right now.
tried to sleep early but couldn't. ended up havin a weird dream where i created my own super metroid stage to fight mother brain. played some games fer a bit, and cleared up the room in terms of products to get rid of. made some late lunch, then took a power nap, before doin some reading. saw the odd lights on the horizon of the city, so decided to go investigate, and to take a walk.
they're shootin some pilot for the ABC show "Boston's Finest" at union and shawmut ave. checked out the set; it's quite a lot of stuff fer a lil thing. saw a couple faces, learned a couple things about the biz, all while getting hungry. headed back to base, where i feel a cold comin on, and mosquito bites in odd places. the weather's gon continue like this later durin the week, and it's gon screw up my benjerry's run...

readin 3 books right now: Crisis Intervention, the Holy Bible, and Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar. 3 different works of literature, presenting information from 3 separate topics, and drawing on 3 different sources. Crisis Intervention is about crises, the backgrounds, the signs, the types, how to avoid, etc etc. the Holy Bible is the staple book of the Christian faith. Plato and a Platypus is about different facets of philosophy interspersed with humor and a humorist prospective.
twerkin my mind to adapt and learn different ideas, but also refreshing since i'm not putting all my entertainment eggs in one basket. tnight the readings were kinda related, which was pretty cool. A brief summary of what was read is in revelation below.
From CI:
Elderly abuse is something perhaps all too common in today's world. The propensity of violence in the average American citizen, coupled by the rising dependency on caretakers and the inability to perform certain tasks as well as an increasing scarcity of resources all contribute to greater instances of abuse/neglect. It is also the case that the elderly are acquiescing to such treatment, either by actively or passively allowing it. Furthermore it is often the case that police intervention and social services intervene in order to stop further acts of mistreatment.
From HB:
Tnight i learned about the ancestry of a people who were scattered among the Earth after God thought they could grow to be too prideful. Abram was the key figure who lived many years, and grew to be highly respected. In his eighties, he wondered how he could give birth to many generations, not having any children. He felt helpless, so he called out to God. God answered him by saying he would have as many offspring as stars in the sky. Puzzled, perplexed, Abram was dependent on Him. The answer had not come yet, but God seems to carry out his promises.
From PaP:
Metaphysics is the study of literally anything beyond physics. It is said that it was given this name because the chapter in study was literally the next, beyond the chapter of Physics. Topics of Teleology (one's true meaning versus a meaning ascribed to himself), Essentialism (what makes something what is is, instead of what does not make something it's not), Rationalism (reasoning is more important to gaining knowledge than merely through the senses), Infinity and Eternity (in a relative sense), Determinism versus Free Will (independent choices as opposed to only one path), Process Philosophy (that the future determines us and not the other way around), and the Principle of Parsimony (the simplest explanation is usually the best) are covered.
combining all three of these together, it is perhaps the case that as we grow elderly that we look to the stars to understand what is our destiny. in the grand scheme of things, we may feel powerless, unable to change things, or accept that change is occuring. it would be best to understand what is going to remain constant in the future, particularly who we essentially are, to look for the best in this world, and question the things around us but not to the point of hyperscrupulousness.
