So I have been flossing my teath ever since I made the choice to start liveing my life more fully, and let me tell you… WHOA! who would have thought that a little thing like floss could turn things around in the mouth so profoundly. It all hinges upon proper flossing technique Did you know that there is a national flossing council? well there is because flossing is dope.

voice

I have not had a voice for a long time. Chalk it up to being sick. I am done with college. A degree in philosophy, whoopie. I now have the ability to see the world for its motives and understand its ignnominy, what a happy day. America is my home and I feel it breaking my back, I miss spoke, my school Cornell College broke my back. I used to think I had a spine, but after hanging out with slack jawed kids for the past four years I feel such an apathy that I rather make myself ill. the good thing is I can feel myself getting better. From this day forward I am going to live like I have never lived before.

I found this to be interesting, It is looking at the ethics of Americas international politics from the perspective of both Mill and Kant.

Food Revisited

I have been thinking a lot of what I want to do with myself for the next section of my life and, believe it or not, I find myself revisiting food. Particularly when I read things like this about places like El Bulli which is at the highest reaches of world cuisine. I suppose that the problem I am faced with when I try an imagine myself working in the food industry is that I cannot imagine myself working anywhere but the absolut highest reaches. As this article humorously points out, a huge amount of fine dineing in america is nothing more than the work of semi talented chefs trying to up-sell their un-creative food for the highest markup possible. The prospect of me doing that myself bores me to no end.

Here is something that does a very good job of comparing the food world with the book world. I do like interesting perspectives and this is one.
