march twenty-third two thousand and five.

we live in a world of specialization. the mere act of gaining knowledge forces one to limit their outlook. a necessity really. how to balance in depth knowledge of a particular topic or field while maintain a holistic perspective of outlying perspective. that is the challenge.

i think about postmodernism sometimes.

a postmodern boy in a modern world maybe.
is the US still modern? some things i read tell me so. and american's seem blind to potential postmodern perspectives and concepts. it's kinda nice in a way. things out there that seem so obvious that some can't see.

spring is upon us. hopefully. and with it rebirth and renewal. spring cleaning of the mind and the body. maybe seasonal affective disorder applies to all the seasons we just tend to apply it to winter because that's when we feel crummy.

enough.
