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?

Monday's class discussion Deepak
In Monday's class when we were discussing Mandukya Uanisad's Vision of the self. i asked myself the question aren't their seven stages not four stages? i ask this because of Deepak Chopra MD. Also is Mandukya teaching balance of the self or chakras just like Deepak or is he going on something completely different? Because looking at the diagram in class compared to what deepak is teaching they seem to both be dealing with the self and a way of cleansing the self. They both have a working state, then a dream state and a state where there seems to be both conciousness and unconciousness. is deepacks way a more extended version? In deepaks diagram it shows an eight armed woman with a crown of leaves sitting on a lotus. Starting at the head is the Om which = union, unbounded awareness. Sham= Intuition, insight, realization. Moving to the neck Ham= creative, expression, knowledge and abundance. Moving to the chest Yam= love, faith, duty, devotion. Just below the breasts Ram= immortality, aurthority, fame, will at the abdomen sexuality and family and lastly Lam at the feet which means security, trust, basic survival. Each mentioned are called chakras. Each chakra is associated with our core dimention of human life.
1. basic survival needs
2. creativity
3. abilitiy to manifest our desires and intention
4.love and compassion
5. expression
6 intuition
7.union btwn individuality and universialtiy
Dont these all relate to the self? or are they the self?
In further reading constriction of any of these chakras limits the flow of energy. It is believed that each chakra has a bija or seed mantra that can clear the "energy center of the chakra." Each chakra is related to a color as well.
1. muladhara- red root or foundation associated with the sense of smell, as well as spine, adrenal glands, kidneys, lower digestive tract, clarity in good health
2. suadhisthana- orange selfs dwelling place both masculine and femanine when open feel intimately connected with creative power of the universe.
3. manipura- yellow shinging gem ablility to digest life, governs liver, gall bladder, stomach, spleen and sense of sight abliltiy to let go of frustration feelings of hostility and agression
4. Anahata green the place of openness, governs sense of touch when chakra is open should feel flowing freely peace love harmony and laughter governs lungs and heart helps let go of fear and jealousy.
5. Vishuddha Pale Blue means pure, throat feel comfortable with speaking your truth govens sense of hearing thyroid metabolism immune system
6. Aijna Indigo Infinite power, governs brain stem and cerebellum, gain access to dreams.
7. Sahaswar Gold means thousand petal lotus flower when chakra is open should feel balance and clarity and purpose and aware of the inifnite silence.
what deepak is getting at I think is also what cleansing of the self but in a more elaborate way than Mandukya.

First Friday Creep
So I am still ab bit creeped out from first friday I me a guy who claimed that he could speak to people telepathically. I also was creeped out because he took a picture with his camera phone. I gave him the Jen's not happy glance which was more pontent thatn nomral. Which rarely comes out unless you have really ticked me off or your making me feel uneasy. The guy was telling me a bit of both or making me feel a bit of both. I just thought he was just odd. He kept laugh out of no where.
Same night, I met a professor from millersville in the bio department who talked about how scienc and art were unified as one at onepint until recently. Depending on the definiton of art and science that one follows. What i got out of that converstaion was that nature itself has molecular aspects in our systems. That we both share the same sense of design molecularly at somepoint. wh have the same sense of that asl that we are grounded or looking to be grounded into nature itself. We are looking to find "roots" to nature itself. At leats that was what I got out of the converstations on first friday.

may seem strange
This may seem strange and you may think that I am on something until i explain myself. So a commment in a resent conversation was about midgets with one of my family members came up. One of the pick up lines that came up was "I see things from a different perspective so I an kiss those thighs like no other person you know has." a question after that came up was Why do midgets always go for taller women? Okey you are probably wondering have you flipped a switch? No. I was watching a CSI program last thursday with my family and on of the agents got hit on by the midget in the program by the use of the pick up line above. After that my mother pipes up and says why do midgets go for tall women? i was trying to relate that entry to how Freud would look at it or Jung would look at the Ida. One conclusion I came to waas that he was an overzelous sleezy little man. His edipus complex was getting the better of him. Maybe her tallnes is the idea of the obelisk falic symbol that he does not have or cannot persue because of his height or size. So he is deprived therefore he is going after the women who are taller with his sly commments.
Another note toay in Art History class i was intently listening in on the lecture when one of Pawels comments triggered something from class. The comment he made was how in hister art and craft are unified which is what we are trying to do in class or wxpaling in PACS right? On antoehr tanget I was watching the crows or the mobs of black coming into the city and i was watching their behivior on how while moving in flockes they seem to swarm to one directon. At one point they all seemed like they were flying backwards. I also was comtemplating the idea of PACS in realtion to crows. Do crows have philosiphies? They are said to be smart birds so are they abobt to persue wisdom? Art and crows to some people are ideas of that they are beautiful birds also they way they fly can be an art. Thre also seem to be an art and craft in the way that they fly. Also they seem to have a science in flying by the way that they base it to climate.
the other day watching the nes I saw something that bird droppings can be used for eletricity instead of plaster on our paint on our cars. Are we expanding techological advances to bird droppings? I think it is a really cool idea in the means of PACS. The scientific suse of bird droppings to create power. Alse the art and craft in figuring out how to explain it yet unless someone else wants to take a stab i am all ears? It would be nice to see if we could beaby use or create something for gas other than ethonal or what ever they have already created.

Pondering, Mondays class
Since I have been working on this project for drawing class I have been noticing the strangest things. Well maybe not strange but just more aware of my surroundings. Everywhere I seem to go I notice the trees... yes I know that may sound weird but it is just something that I have been working on with the song strong tower. I have noticed their construction, how their leaves may be changing and the idea that they all have character. No tree to me is the same. I mean one may have a owls nest another may not. I also have started to think of how my work is related to the theories talked about in Wednesdays class. I have been thinking a lot about how PACS is in my work now. I am doing plenty of experimentation. I am creating many pieces that seem unfinished to me but I have come to a conclusion that that is the way that I like to work. Work on many things at once when painting and then eventually getting them to a "finished" state. I think this is good but why can't I just finish something instead of moving on to the next thing and the next thing after that. I have no clue why all of a sudden all these thoughts have come to mind while I have been just sitting with the confused sludge that we created at the beginning of class. Am I finally realizing something? Finally being able to "sturr the pot" so to speak? I have no idea but it just seems strange why couldn't these ideas come before the paper?? or even before that????
Mondays Class add on...
Okey I am going to come clean... I like someone yes I do.(grining ear to ear) Infact recently I have been pondering on what I should tell him.I have been this way for awhile and fianlly have the guts to say it. I know he has some liking of me because in our conversations he has said I am one of the people he enjoys talkig to. Also after class I have also the strangest idea put into my head I think it my ego or id talking dunno which get those confused. What would happen if he or I were just able to lay a big one on me or me on him (sound bad but I mean a kiss) Is that the ego talking? Then my super ego is telling me no its not right its the gentlmans job to woo the female not the other way around. I dont know. or is it the Id? that does that, well anyway. I dunno how wierd or strange sounding that just sounded but I thought I might relate something to class. Oh and this must not get out because I will be duly embarrised. (sorry sp brain lapse) I know its written in the blog but who reads this?
Oh I asked in class about the eye and the pyramid relating to the king? am I justified in saying so?? or is that compelty different subject?

Observations I have made
Recently I have made an observation that requires something to be said because I am not the only one who has noticed. It comes across as rude and igonrat. Dot get me wronge here I may sound hypocritical, calus or mean I dont care i have just had enoght with the bs that is going on. For example whenever someone says hello it is polite to say hello and acknowledge that they have made your presence known. By not doing this you come across to me as being rude. When someone says hi just say hi back. Just get our differences out of the way and just treat each other like were "friends" eventhough we are not. I am not the only person who has noticed this so why dont you just get what ever is stuck up in you out and become less abrasive. I know I sound abrasive right now but I have the right to be. What is done is done... that cant be fixed but why dont we just move on. Were not in high school anymore so cut it out.
Another obsevation that I have noticed is during critiques. Some people get to say alot about pieces of work and others say nothing at all. It seems like alwas the same people critquing and saying things. I don't know why this is bother some more now actually to be honest it FRUSTRATING not getting feed back. We are all here to collaborate and get input but when in critues we just seem to keep our mouths shut. Isnt the prupose to talk about eache atothers work no matter if it is a friend or foe. Or if you are going to hurt their feelings or not. The person getting hurt needs to grow a bit of a skin it part of life hearing things you dont want to hear. Let me ask this How do you feel when it comes to your artwork and its always the same people talking about it or when your the one "on the chopping block" so to speak.. How do you feel when no one talks at all? Do you feel frustrated? Thirsty for some imput... I certainly do so speak up...!!!! Input in my opinion helps a person grow and helps the other grow because you verbalize what you see and gets you t produce criticim in a way that is productive to a person. I have just been pondering this for weeks on end and I think it is about time I should say something because it is always silent when talking in critique not just on my work but on others works and it is always the same people talking about the work. I have many more rants but I think due to the subject matter they are best not to put them here because of the subject matter is not sutiable for this particular blog. entry atleast. I would like to dumb down like I dumbed down the first half of this blog another rant but I dont know how to do that without taking out alot of the juice. Well like I said in my last entry I should leave this place and get on to other things. before I go to Lebanon tonight eeks...!!!

Strong Tower
So I have been trying to desipher the song Strong Tower by Newsboys for a visual essay project. I have come up with that the song means in so many terms that "god is there whenever you need him, the song talks about his attributes how he wont blow over in a strong wind, how he will lead a helping hand when times get rough. I dont know why but trees and roots popped into my mind for some strange un beknown reason while I was heading to my doctors appointment thursday afternoon. I don't know if it was just me reading into the song too much or what so since I have this visual essay thing I thought it would be approprite to have trees as my theme. But in the song the theme seem to be God himself I think.... What do you think the meaning of the song is???
strong and mighty
strong to save us
like a fortress
never failing
strong in battle
strong in kindness
when we stray, Lord
You're strong to find us
when the winds come hard against us
You are steadfast, You are true
when the ground beneath us trembles
Your foundation never moves
CHORUS
strong tower
high and glorious
strong tower
mighty in love
our refuge
our defender
strong tower
Lord above
strong to lead us
through the shadows
strong to carry
all our sorrows
when the enemy surrounds us
closing in as darkness falls
though his armies rage against us
they can never scale these walls
- CHORUS -
BRIDGE
You are my shelter, my shield
You are the home I could never deserve
here I will serve, ever under Your gaze
here I will serve, ever singing Your praise
- CHORUS (2x) -
strong tower
Lord above
strong tower
Lord above
I was thinking of some metophors for each verse but I have no clue on what to do???? I have sat with this changing my poem and changing my drawings. Whelp I am going to scoot on out of here. I had plans to stay home but then I realized I wont get my computer work done at home due to the conflict of interests. It seems like at the moment there needs to be a sign up sheet or something blocking out the time for the computer now and days.
strong and mighty
strong to save us
like a fortress
never failing
strong in battle
strong in kindness
when we stray, Lord
You're strong to find us
when the winds come hard against us
You are steadfast, You are true
when the ground beneath us trembles
Your foundation never moves
CHORUS
strong tower
high and glorious
strong tower
mighty in love
our refuge
our defender
strong tower
Lord above
strong to lead us
through the shadows
strong to carry
all our sorrows
when the enemy surrounds us
closing in as darkness falls
though his armies rage against us
they can never scale these walls
- CHORUS -
BRIDGE
You are my shelter, my shield
You are the home I could never deserve
here I will serve, ever under Your gaze
here I will serve, ever singing Your praise
- CHORUS (2x) -
strong tower
Lord above
strong tower
Lord above

Wednesdays...class?
In class Wednesday night the question came about...How can we telll or tap into peoples emotions? or can we share the same feelings and the same time? Something to that efftect. In wanting to answer in class but not wanting to be insensitive to a fellow classmate and a friend I wanted to not say in class what I am going to say in this blog entry. I have been thinking about this alot... after the class especially Jung because he has to be my favorite phsycologist we share some of the same points of view where as Freud I really think that is it really necessary to base everything off of sex...
Now back to the idea of do we share the same feelings? I think we do to some extent share the same feelings. They may not happen at the same time but we do at some point mourn a loss. We may encounter the same feeling as one person to the next sucha as we ma or may not miss them when the pass on. Majority of us probably will miss them. We all show emotions differently there are the mopy sort, one who cooks fore everyone, those who are seem to be happy but are really sad, and those who cry whenever they see pictures or hear the name of the person who has passed. I also thought of a mass level of mourning or emotional state... September 11 where our fear was heightened and our feelings for those lost also was publicically the same. Another example would be when Princess Diana passed, Mother Theresa and Pope John Pauls passings all seemed to bring about a public mourning. I remember seeing Elton John singing on the telivision while my mother sat with tears in her eyes. I don't know if the mourning seemed to be Worldly because of their social status' but it seemed that people mourning gave these people reverence while mourning such as taking in account for their "goodness" that they did and what they did for other people and how humble they were before they died. I think we all at some point are affected by some sort of event which causes us to know or have a sense of what one is going through. Some events such as physcological problesm taht are chemical imbalances whe can see the product but we may not neccesarly feel what they are feeling such as Bipolar and Depression. We may not know how they feel because it is mainly internal and condensed to that person we just see the result of their disorder. I know probably thinking now hat if feeling are internal how can they be seen?
In the same class we were also talkng about the id in relation to art work. In how things can be stated as falic or not. Such as the obelisk thaat si met to have a flaic meaning to it. It got me thinking if there are any falicies in my work. I dont intentially put them in but if they were put there unconciously? My work is now strictly unrepresentational but one person may be able to find something falic in it with the drips and drabs? One piece I did definately stood out in my mind which is now noted as the scary painting by many people. It may be cosidered falic with all the fetus's plastered over it people with pins stuck through thier abdombens and people seemingly drowning and a painted nusse and other images that seem to result in falicies and underlying states of mind. Which to me when I did the painting it did not occur to me until after the fact that it could be deemed as a dark side... I honestly don't know what prompted me to do the piece but now that I look at it I want to get rid of it! I would like to stick to my happy organic patterns!!
Now back to the idea of do we share the same feelings? I think we do to some extent share the same feelings. They may not happen at the same time but we do at some point mourn a loss.

AH I HATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS!!!
So I have been attempting to work on this paper that is due for class wednesday. I just seems that I am having a severe case of mental block I don't know what it is if I need to clear other projects first that are bothering me or what. Well I have cleared them and I am still having meltal block. It seems more so that others usually I can handle it and get over it. But it just seems that I am just writing one or two sentances that make no cohernece to even what is going on for the paper then I will leave and then come back because after the two sentence I can just there starting at my notes... I have no idea how many times they have been read over and over. I know that I must be comprehending something if I am writing something down but should it take this long to write a paper a whole two days of only writing a few sentances down every couple of hours. I should be able to bung the thing out in about four hours but this is getting rediculous? why? Its frustrating... I dont want to do anything else until the paper gets done due to the fact that its priority for one. I dont know... I just don't know anymore. My family has seen me struggle with this I don't know why I try to vacate myself of all distrations because i thought that was it. but no. I still sit for hour hour and a half trying to formulate sentances. this is grueling to me a paper like this for me should not take this long.....
Do you have any stuggestions on what could be done to alleviate this??? When you have been working on it on and off since friday and all have is two sencences????

Class where 2 questions...
What part of art is expression of feelings? Is the self which is express through art wholely emotional? What other aspects of the self are experessed through art? What then dow we conclude to the self? waht is non self? whichis is lager self or non self?
*Clear idea on PACS
*Do you believe that al human activities can be fully deserted and understood through some combination of PACS?
I feel that everything about art is some form of experssion. Art would not be here if we did not express ourselves. The self is not whooly emotional because some of our movement and actions are unconciously done. Maybe I dont understand what self is complely to fully answer this question what what other aspects...? My understanding of the self is that it had to do with someones lobido and where it is als a persons internal state. Same goes for the other questions following.
*No, No Philosophy is a term that I am really sturggling with in how to link them to ACS. But otherwise I do understand the others or the gist of the atleast.
What is the self?
Like I said I am not sure I completly know what the self is ... Something about the persons internal drive to do something?
I am assuming both until further exxplainiton of sel I dont think it would be wise for me to define self.

Art Collaboration, Inner outer world
Yes artists can collborate on art by getting together to talk about art itself way it is made the qualit of the work and the possible science and philophies on behind the work. Getting a group of artists together to read on one specific artists then talking abou them or do a broad term such as beausty then work on the same type of idea that is a way to collaborate with other artists. Artists can cllaborate also by getting two or three of them togeter to work on a piece of work and bring ideas into it or possibly by passing a piece of art work along and cahnging something and handling and giving it back when something has changed then that original artists can move it in another direction whether drawing or painting.
This is answering the question from 9/26/o7
Are PACS in the outer world? are they in the self? are they some how btwn the self and the outer world? If so how could they be suspended? Is there and interface btwen them.
I am not quite sure on what is meant by the self or the outer world? In order to answer this question. Could it please be explained?

Three Actions
This is going back while three weeks I think. Where the question was asked about three actions to consider and how they are broken down in philosophy art craft and science.
First Action
Botanty- The study of plants and other characteristics...
Men and women both look or observe things differently. For instance in botany a man may just look at the plant and be able to identify the class and species of that specific plant. They may not take in account for how pretty it may be or what colors would look nice in a yard to compliment the other various colors in a yard. (sorry this may seem like ramble). Where a female might take great care in noticing how beautiful the plant is constructed not only with naming and identifying the object but the aesthetic value of the pant itself. There is an art in physically being able to identify plants by looks and genre. Craft is involved as well. if your are looking r a specific plant lets say jewel weed or dutch mans britches you have to know what time of year they may be out or in bloom where they usually like to grow. Such as dense vegatation or little vegatation. Also i take s craft in memorizing the species and genre and knowing them. It takes training the brain to recognize the plant so you can name the plant at the same time. Science plays a major role in botany because science is what produced the plant in the first place. The process of them germination is also a key factor in science. Philosophy you can read and think about histories of certain plants if it has healing values or cleansing values to them. I don't know how else I could explain Botany and Philosophy?
Second Action
Construction Work
Men and womn do it differnetly because of their physical strength and stature. A woman might need more help in lifingt heavy blocks of concrete due to her phyical ablility to lift something. A male would probably need less help in lfiting becaue they are physically able to withstand lifting heavier things than women. Unless they are into body building... I guess they would not have a problem in lifting things. Philosophy ? I have no clue on how to put it into terms of Consturction work maybe there is not an option to put it in. Art and Craft coneside with each other because craft relates to the product so when a building is finished then all the material that went inot producing it is then seen. Also another way to bserve it the people doing the lifing or measuring take great care in making sure everything is accurate so that the builing or house dos not collapes or materials go to waste. Science plays a factor in this where the use of precision meaurements, some of the chemicals used need time to dry and that happens to fall under science because it is using outside elements to helpf with the reaction. Science is also what helps in keep things bound together.
Third Action
Riding Bike.
Men and women ride bike about the same and the mechanical aspects of the bike are the same. The bikes are made differently to support their height. Women and Men seem to ride bike for different purposes. Men seem to ride bike for more competitive reasons such as bike jumping or racing. Although there are some women who are competative in riding bike. Most seem to do it for leisure or to relieve bodily stresses. Riding Bike is an art as well as a craft because before someone can ride there has to be an artists or craftsperson to come up with the style of the bike whether mountion or leisure riding. It is also an art because it takes some talent to be able to multi task in peddling, keeping your center in the middle making sure to have the proper posture while riding or after the consequence of poor posture would be evident. Being able to not fall to one side is also an art. (I have done this and re adujusted my gears on the bike) Males seem to want to do more off road type of riding than females. Genrally speaking I hear of men talking about biking more than females. Biking is also a craft in without having the people to weld the frame together and think of the bike with round tires not oval we would not have the bike today. Science is also involved the technology is always changing for the bike lighter frame no breaks only breaks for back peddle and so on. How does philosophy go into riding bike?
Fourth
Writing
Men and women go about writing differently. Some women have large open letters which take up the whold line. some have small cursive slants that just seem to flow from the pencil others seem to be more aburpt. Men sometimes eem to write more darker and heavier than women. Some also seem to have sloppy chicken scratch like writing. Some females do too. Some also have typewriter like handwriting. Some females also have chickscratch like writing they also seem like they have bigger writing that touchs line to line. Ther is an art in hand writing also a craft look at calligraphy and Japanese handwriting. All of it is very beautiful. Nicely constructed lines where there is a point to a line width shape and structure of the line thickness. There is a science to it as well because you have to stategically place the curves to make it look like a letter. The way the pressure is put to let the letter be created. Lastly philosophy after the writing is done people could wirte therirr thoughts about it such as poetry which is the product of writing. I think there si more to it that that but in order maybe more explaination of philosphy?
Which one would be better for my paper or non of them or some sort of comparision?

A Firefighter's Story
Once there was a young girl who was afriad of the fire seirens. She was so afraid that she burst into tears everytime. One day her friend asked her why are you crying? She told her that she thought that every time there were seirens the fire people were going out and setting the fire's.
That's why she burst into tears every time. ( This is a story I heard last week by one of my friends friends.)
Her logic is true some firefighters do go round setting fires so her logic to some extent is true. Also they are the first one on the scene of the fire so that is also true. I don't know if it is out of bordeom but they have been in the news as arsonists right?
I know this has nothing to do with philosophy art craft and science. Well maybe it does I don't know. I figured I would post something since I have been lacking in getting posts up here. I like to write them out first then post so be forwarded I will be having a blogging ferenzy sometime this week where I will be putting up 3 or 4 posts.
Well Off to lose all sense of direction and probably get lost on my way down to Baltimore.

Beauty, Philosophy, Art, Craft, Science
As I said befoe how does philosophy, art, craft, science relate to beauty? I have been pondering what is beauty? Since we recieved that question in our mail box last week. I have answered it to some extent but since it is such a vague term it is a tough decision to pin point one distinct definition. I am thinking in these terms from reading on defitintions this would be an example of a Lexical definition. There are so many differnt things beauty can e described as.
Beauty can be described as simple as a single mark or a drip down a page. Or more complex terms a landscape from baroque times or the transendentalist movement. Beausty is such a broad tem that it probably cannot be defined just as a single atmospheric term. I always think that nature is always the up most beautiful because it happens naturally without any disturbances. The idea also that beasuty can be descibed as chemical reactions because they ca happen naturally without people's interferance. I myself have been toying with the idea that something has left and has been felt. The beauty of a footprint for example tells a whole story about a shoe or the way a person walks, That is beaustiful in itself. The idea also that beauty can be descibed as a chemical reaction because it just happens whether we push it along or not. Looking at Andy Goldsworthy's work in comparision to what may be coming up in my work he uses natural materials that are found in nature. (wow thats clucky but whatever) My work is beginning to allude to the same materials but used differnently than what andy uses. His Philosophies is what I am drawn too mainly in reading I came across the fact that he has an idea that he seems to take on and then he pursues it. He does not know what he is going to use until he goes out into the field to create his work. The idea that something has left its presence has also been an idea that I have seen in his work whre he takes trees that have fallen and put them between rocks that is something that makes a statement also it is beautiful in how these objects that you find in nature that most of us take for granted are used in art. He mentions something about how he likes the idea of decay and how that is something that intersts him. I think decay is also beautiful because of the so many stages that something goes through before it is dust. It is a bit gross but decay is a natural process whether we want to say it or not.
Philosophy, Art, Craft and Science can be brought up inot this by categorizing or generalizing the broad term beauty. Beauty can be considered as a craft because it needs to be looked after or maintianed and it takes great skill in keeping it up. For example a runway model had to make sure her body image stays appealing to the public. She already has what god has given her but it needs nurishment to stay healthy. whether the use of skin products, make up and other things to keep the beauty maintained. In nature it is differnet nature automatically cleanses itself by the food chain. Things die off such as a plant which then fertalizes the ground leaving seeds those seeds then grow the next season when the climate and conditions are right. Beauty can be decscibed as a scientific term by the fact that I myself consider beauty to be a naturally occuring event that may need some aid in the up keep. It also chemically occurs on its own if its in your genes then beauty is there. No offense to anyone reading this but and example would be. the ugly baby syndome vs the beautiful baby. some people may consider some features of a new born child such as excessive wrinkles to be ugly instead of beautiful. Beauty to me also is the natural effect that somthing eminates off of itself.
Philosophy and beauty people can thik or converse on how something is beautiful or how it got its features. Art and beauty are realted in the way that beauty itself is presented to a viewer. Such as a simple drip or higlight in the clouds. It can merly be a fleck of something not very intracate or something that is so complicated the beauty of how complex it is beautiful itself.

An Observation
As I was driving home on Wednesday I had just turned onto Plum Street I saw a young girl about the age of four throw a rock, as hard as she could. I don't know if her intent was to break that rock but she sure put force into throwing it. The look of disappointment or disgust that it did not chip or break also seemed to either make her want to test again or just know that she failed at throwing the rock in order to break it. I am trying to think of how this could have related to what we were talking in class that evening but it has been long time since. So I am just going to say this or break it down this way...
Philosophy- the girls intent on breaking the rock and her thought on that she could physically break that rock
Science- the kenitic energy exerted in throwing the rock to make it break
Craft-?
Art- I guess could argue the rythmic momentum of bringing her arm up and then stratigically letting go of the rock so it would fall to the ground with a clank and a click click. But the girl probably did not know that it was going to make that sound.
Philosophy- the girls intent on breaking the rock and her thought on that she could physically break that rock

Getting Lost,Road Trip, Beauty
Yesterday was a wonderful day. Took a much needed road trip actually my first, since the new car. Evan and I went to Shenks Ferry, but not before getting lost where there were signs that said "We Have Guns and We will Party". I think that was down somewhere down toward Conestoga I have no clue it was a nice decilte area though. Found Safe Harbor because we missed our turn to Green Hill Road. That was fun though that was plan B if we could not get to Shenks Ferry.
So we headed back to where we thought Green Hill might be, found it. Found Shenks Ferry. It seemed like an eternity going down the horrible gravel road but alas we found the trail head. So we parked it and gathered all our drawing supplies, lunch and things we needed for the day. It was so beautiful Evan and I were both in awe on how overgrown everything was but it still had the untouched sense as well. So we walked about twenty to twentyfive minutes to the tunnel. And plonked our stuff down and walked around a bit to find the best drawing place. We spent the whole day critiquing each other and it was both the best we had ever drawn too. We were both trying to answer the question that was given What is beauty and we both think that we have a general sense of what it might be.
While we were sitting at the tunnel drawing a Franklin and Marshall bio class was trudging through the stream and mearuing the height and every so often the professor would come over to see how we were making out and would engage in small talk. I found out that the professor knows one of my ex teachers from high school the water bio teacher Kerri Snavely. We then got back to our drawings finished them around 5 in the evening.
Sitting at the tunnel entrance we both notice the creepy effects it gave. At the end of the tunnel we would notice it would take on a braoque like lighting to and foggy quality. Every so often we would feel a blast of warm air and then a burst of cold which elevated the erriee (sp?) effect.
Evan and I walking back both that a big rock was a bear. That was pretty funny. Evan stepped on a small snake it was grey and had a orange dot on its head. I teased him and said now the poor thing will have a massive headache, since he stepped on it.
We met a very interesting 71 year old man asking us what we were doing there. As he was putting his tin can of a canoe up on his mircades. I was a bit disturbed by what he was wearing though... which made me want to walk away and load up the car. He was telling us how the stream level is raise up and how he canoes over to the other side to the river to swim. Oh and of course how old his canoe is too. Evan and I walking back were kind of envious on how care free he seemed, doing his own thing taking his time. He gave us this tid bit to think about " Take your time you have all the time in the world, and Be safe. " Thinking back I think that is what is beautiful the fact that people can just let things run by without thinking about anything else going to a place to not have a care in the world.
We left Shenks Ferry... Some how missed a turn somewhere ended up near a rikiety old bridge in peaque which seemed like it was near wind cave. Some how found 324 north took a wrong turn again and ended up near a steel plant in Peaque. Turned around and somehow ended up in the city or close to.
Now you say what was this post really for... I was thinking of was how to link beauty to philosopy art craft and science. If there was even a link or is beauty too vague to even do something like that. I think I will have to write about in the next post.

Referring back to class Wed the 10th
The Question was asked Why do definitions have the bold faced numbers?
It is because they are showing the synomnyms for the main entry. They also show the part of speech. For example 1 and 2 are nouns but 3 and 4 are verb based definitions. That is why the numbers succede. I think or that is the jist of what I got reading the front of the dictionary?
