Avatar Philosophy

March 2, 2010

I finally watched Avatar, and there are two symbols that are worth pointing out.

Twitter Nostalgia

March 2, 2010

Self-Promoting Loser

January 28, 2010

I’m a fan of criticizing our society and everything I think is wrong with it.

This either creates hope of change, or a harsh realization of inevitability.
That’s the crossroad I’m at regarding self-promotion.
