Since I have philosophy art craft and science. I have started to look at things a bit differently. I bumped into today a question today on human action.
Are all human actions unconciously and egotistically motivated? I don't know if we had a similar question like this but I am now thinking about the class Ethics. We have been assigned this project so to speak. I have been working on the idea of disablility discrimination. Or the treatment of people with disabilites this is a subject that I am really passionate about and also I know some informantion about. Since my last b/f had seziures and he also had some other things wrong with him it was something that I have come hyper aware about. I do get offended when people use the word retard in a way that is demeaing to that person, which most of the time I do hear it, it usually is. Well I must go.

Semester End.
I have decided to clean... when I say clean not just your average vacuum and dust. The type of clean where you have three or four trash bags for good will and 2 for the bin men to pick up. I have way too much stuff all clutter and papers that I even forget why am I holding on to them so I will be throwing them away.
I also have decided to answer some questions that came up in PACS that I have not really fully been able to answer. There was one I cant really remember what the real question was it was something about meditation. Thats all I know so if you could help. with what is was I will answer it. I am seriously thinking about ditching the other blogs and just cocentrating on this one for the time being. Its more fun to ponder sometimes.
Well back to the pile of stuff to organize for good will or the bin men!!!
Whoa I sound british now eeks!

On Modalities
In our class on Wednesday the questions were put up on the board. Are thoughts a type of action? Are they any actions neither philosophical nor artistic, not crafty or scientific?
No there are not any actions that don’t fall into at least one of these categories of PACS. I would assume that yes thoughts are a form of action because thought is a form of Philosophy and scientific research.
With the question of the MODALITIES I would agree that emotion could be uninterruptible as an action because what one person may deem as sadness for example may be different from one person to the next. The same for body sensations only the person that can feel that particular emotion and sensation at the time may happen at a different time for another and my be different depending on the sensation. The people around that person my not feel the same thing but they do know that they are feeling something at that time. But it is completely different…
I have no idea where that went and right now it makes no sense can anyone make sense of it??

On Happening
In our past class on November the 28th 2007 the question what are happenings came up? We proceeded to define what action is, which came up as a happening in time or space. The idea that it could be human or non human. The next question then arose after the statement of an action is something needed to be brought into existence… By WHOM? I then thought of by NATURE because most things are brought to earth as a being or a thing naturally not by some force. Also I thought of nature because it was the first thing that is usually assumed to have created things.
In that same class the question of belief in unicorns as being and other whimsical things existing in another world. Most said no to the idea of that. Where does the idea of believing in angels come form? The other week a friend and I were talking about anytime she knows of anyone traveling she visualizes them in a white halo being guided with these beautiful figures. Now there is to some extent that I do believe that there are “angels among us or people watching over us” because things have happened that I could not explain they just happen. All I know is something helped the action along. I know there is the idea of what is right and what is wrong associated with angels, but how do we know it is just not our conscious talking and our being hyper aware of our surroundings?
Another couple questions that came about in class were… Are there situations where there is not change also came about? Just a middle? If so where do they exist? Are PACS are the things ever in touch with the outside time is it possible that PACS exists in that place? This is a difficult question to answer. Yes if time slowed itself so that the middle was the only thing that would be moving then that could be a possibility. I have no idea where this exists though. Yes PACS could exist in another realm if there were things or beings able to express, produce, mental thought, and determine fact. The idea of imagine exterior and material experience is this realm could happen again depending on what is inhabiting the place.

feeling the end of semester grind
I think it has finally hit me that the semeter is quickly coming an end. I relized that today in class. UNfortunatily it came to me at a really bad time while i was in class. Which in turn made me antzy and irritated that I could be doing other things instead of trying to take notes and comprehend what was being talked about. To be frank I have no idea what went on because my mind was racing with the idea that I have my final exam on the slides from the past few chapters in art history to study and I had better do well other wise i am screwed if i don't and a paper to write and i am screwed if i dont get that done soon. So in turn I already had started to think of I should not have done this, I should have stayed up later intead of going to bed at 8:30 last night, I should have done this I should have done that. I should be able to do my days that I was doing last semester at this time from 5:30 till almost 2 the next day I should be able to do that no I just go home and sleep. I am such a lazy bum for doing so. Why did I do that. I should be able to stay up later than 11:30 but no since I have been having problems in that department I am lazy and go to bed around 9:30 almost everynight it sucks! It really does. I hate myself for it. In turn all my grades are suffering in my opinion. In turn my art is suffering. Therefore I feel like i am a failure at everything because I have been lazy and gone to bed early. My family has been telling me I cannot be like the enigizer bunny and go go go there are some point I need to crash and step away. That brings up another thing. I have been really frustrated trying to work on this paper trying to figure out an anti thesis and thesis to my anti thesis and I honestly can say I think I have missed the whole point or concept of the class or atleast it feels that way. I am sorry for this rant. but It has been brewing for several weeks eventhough I may seem fine outwardly inwardly i am not when it come to thinking about school and work right now.
ps. when i am done with studying and getting things written I will have a better blog entry than the past two this one and the last one. I want to say I am still thinking of things and I have finally have something but I need to finish drafting.

Irritated/ Blabble
I know I am well overdue for a post I am running out of ideas on what to post. I have been working on my paper so that has been something that I guess could talk about. I have made the argument that letergical dance and sign language have little to do with PACS besides the fact that they are just Art and Craft related. After class on Monday Evening the 26th I was in fact freaking out a bit I don't know if it had to do with what class discussion was about which made me want to run. Or I was just having one of those moments where everything was getting on my nerves I get like that sometimes but I just happen to notice it more I dont know if it was because I was thinking of all the stuff I should have done and I did not do over break or the stuff i did do instead of doing other things. Well in any event today is more so the same my paper has not gone any further it seems like it is at a standstill and it is due in three weeks?? I don't know. I have started to think alot about what am I going to do after PCAD? One thing I think would be good is a change in pace. Also I have been contemplating on talking with someone on some of the ideas that I have been reflecting upon. I guess I have been sort of doing a "soul search" me verses the inner and outer world. In other words possibly going to the sterotypical room of a pshycologist. I think it is overdue and some of my ideas need to be straightened up. I know getting back into a proper church schedule would probably be good and a social life cause I have been only doing school come home school sleep since middle school. Well sorry for the babble I should have a better post in the next few days about my paper and things that I have been reading upon. Honestly right now nothing is really sparking my light bulb so to speak.

November the 12
In class the other day specifically the one listed above. We were talking about that craft is not exprimental. Japanese raku was brought up in the arguement. I do not believe that a process that is random has precion. If it was precise the where abouts a crack my land could be reproduced. But since it was random or it is it can only happen once in that particular sequence.I also disagree with he idea that if it is not exact that it is poorly done. If something is meant to have a crack in it then that is poorly done because it is not exact and has not lines or shapes in it???
The piece is unique because each piece is different in the placement of where the cracks may land. The question that came to mind was does that mean when I am creating my drip paintings they are poorly done because the drips are not calculated where each mark may fall or look like?
Another Idea brought up in class was the idea of magic. The example given was the idea of being at a Rush concert and how people reacted to the lights being shone on them. After that the thought that popped into my mind was when I go on my trips to Emmitsburg to the Grotto for a weekend of worship known as Mount 2000. Mount2000.com It is a three day weekend where we just gather together and listen to lectures and have mass everyday. The one particular thought that stood out in my mind was the one evening when the priests and eucharistic ministers bring the eucharist around while we all automatically bow our heads as a sing of respect and reflection. Also the songs for worship advert came to mind where the whole crowd has their hands up in the air while singing shine Jesus shine accapella is this considered magic?
I know I am supposed to separate my blogs but I have little time I am on my way out the door. After class on Wednesday I was looking over the task for the paper and partially what was asked of us in class on Wednesday.After clearing some of my frustrations and worries b going on a long slow walk after class and reading the prompt and looking at the dialectic essay format. I think what I am unsure about is what I am defending or what am I supposed to have been looking at in the class? What am I defending? if anything? What happens if we feel that our conclusions are not concrete or complete? Can we write about that reason? What is meant by straw person? is that the idea of drawing the short straw so to speak. Do the dialectic papers i find find on how to set up need to be cited? If i am using things as a web or template?
