August 18, 2009 - Pink Floyd - The Thin Eyes Lyrics

If you should go skating

On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet.
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice.

August 17, 2009 - Socrates Wikipedia Entry - A Paraghraph

According to Plato's Apology, Socrates' life as the "gadfy"(a term for people that upset the staus quo by posing upsetting or novel questions, or just being an irritant) of Athens began when his friend Chaerephon asked the oracle of Delphi if anyone was wiser than Socrates; the Oracle responded that none was wiser. Socrates believed that what the Oracle had said was a paradox, because he believed he possessed no wisdom whatsoever. He proceeded to test the riddle through approaching men who were considered to be wise by the people of Athens, such as statesmen, poets, and artisans, in order to refute the pronouncement of the Oracle. But questioning them, Socrates came to the conclusion that, while each man thought he knew a great deal and was very wise, they in fact knew very little and were not really wise at all. Socrates realized that the Oracle was correct, in that while so-called wise men thought themselves wise and yet were not, he himself knew he was not wise at all which, paradoxically, made him the wiser one since he was the only person aware of his own ignorance. Socrates' paradoxical wisdom made the prominent Athenians he publicly questioned look foolish, turning them against him and leading to accusations of wrongdoing. Socrates defended his role as a gadfly until the end: at his trial, when Socrates was asked to propose his own punishment, he suggests a wage paid by the government and free dinners for the rest of his life instead, to finance the time he spends as Athens' benefactor. He was, nevertheless, found guilty of corrupting the minds of the youth of Athens and sentenced to death by drinking a mixture containing poison hemlock.

July 6, 2009 - Haha, The Randomness Of My Brain

This thought has been lingering in my mind for a long while now - "Why can't menswear be as innovative, extreme or exciting as womenswear? Why can't the bodies of men be 'sexualized' objects like that of women currently? All I want is equality, not in the political sense but equality among the genders in terms of fashion."

July 6, 2009 - Just A Thought

I wonder if maybe years later what we consider innovative and mind blowing in terms of menswear will be very common and will ultimately be considered boring, and what we regard as boring and so-so right now, will be considered the opposite.

July 5, 2009 - The Duty Of An Individual

"The individual's duty is to do what he wants to do, to think whatever he likes, to be accountable to no one buy himself, and to challenge every idea and every person." - Jean Paul Sartre from his novel, The Age Of Reason.

July 5, 2009 - Sartre's Quote - Existentialism

"Man is alone, abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth." - Jean Paul Sartre.

This seems to be the easiest to understand definition of existentialism.
