Here are some (sober) New Year&#8217;s celebration photographs:

		<title>My Father on Ron Paul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(After seeing a variety of YouTube videos and responses on my laptop)
Papa Freeman: &#8220;Intelligent people seem to be supporting Ron Paul&#8230;people who think&#8230; people on the internet, college students, educated, smart people&#8230;&#8221;
(takes a sip of bourbon)
&#8220;It&#8217;s the unwashed masses that support the faces they know.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[I am Jameson. I promote a revolution of freedom. I am trying to realize myself as an individual.
It seems a lot of people agree - or are realizing - there are many ways in which self-realization is oppressed.  Some have been drowned by the political, capitalist, and religious means of misleading people.
Whether accidental or [...]]]></description>

		<title>On apathy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When a person resigns to apathy, they are so void of self that they allow circumstance to govern them.  Apathy treats power structures and opportunity as though they are static things, counterfeit byproducts of fate.  To pretend non-action is action is to treat circumstance like God.

		<title>The Ship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hinting on aspects of modern healthcare and individual freedom, this is a stream of thought adapted from Plato&#8217;s The Republic and Socrates&#8217; metaphor of the just city and the ship&#8230;
Very few sailors make a good captain and
Not every captain is a good sailor
A sailor who wants to be captain
Because of ambition alone
is not, whatsoever a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last Weekend of September</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Went to NY this weekend for my friend Canaan&#8217;s birthday.  For Canaan, the city was more of a layover between Tokyo and LA.  It was dolce&#8230;
Today, it&#8217;s back to being a student, Monday class, and trying to have my nature be consistent with that identity.

		<title>Sexual  Identity Crisis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before the modern era, there was no tangible, mainstream conception of sexuality as an identity applicable to any person.  Rather, a sexual act was viewed as a behavior, and not indicative of any greater meaning for the individual.  A behavior could be condemned by a religion, or discouraged by a community, but it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Socrates and Responsibility and Knowledge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Socrates never wrote anything.  What we know of his life, teachings and impact on Athenian society is from others, like Plato and Xenophon, who were students and associates and who published various dialogues about the man.  His reasoning for never publishing any material of his own was basically to prevent the misuse or [...]]]></description>

But, I knew it wasn’t the light wind,” my father recounted as he described the last time he went sailing with his neighbor.  He was explaining how the fellow sailor was getting older, and his mind was slowing down.  Apparently he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Non-existant Profundity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The fact that beauty exists, even as something only within an individual perception or idea, is inherently profound.  Existence itself seems likely to be something that is simply inevitable.  A problem, I think, that so many atheists have, is associating inevitability with meaninglessness.  Simply because there is something - means there could [...]]]></description>

After Christmas - we are good Protestants, of course - is a time conducive to spending money.  As the day progressed, and the early evening of December began, my father decided to just wait in the car outside stores while [...]]]></description>

Like the Fiona Apple concert I went to on Monday night, life has been interesting.  I went to the concert with my dear friend Alix (marvelous tickets and company) and it was a dolce evening.  The Wolftrap/Filene Center in Virginia is such a cool place for a concert because it is enclosed by an enormous [...]]]></description>

		<title>DC Premier of Lady in the Water</title>

Monday night I attended the DC premier of M. Night Shyamalan’s Lady in the Water. I know, life is dolce… but really, what else is Jameson supposed to do on a weekday evening?
Besides an immediate ‘good’ or ‘bad’ judgment, I do not enjoy talking about well-done movies immediately after seeing them, because reflection usually leads [...]]]></description>
