My new shoes!

Hey everyone! I just got my new shoes! I bought them from a site called Zappos. The brand is called PF Flyers. It only took 2 days for the shoes to get here! WOW




I luff them!

Thinking......

So far this week I'v been thinking allot, not about philosophy, but more about social things and how the brain reacts to certain situations. It all started in World Civ (which by the way is a very cool class). We were asked the question " What institution influences you the most?" My answer was the school. I was the first to speak, and because of that, I spoke for about 20 minutes! It was great fun! After that, I went to French and talked about some stupid French stuff...............
That got me thinking though, about how people are influenced by all the people around them (I really do like what I call social engineering!)

These are some excerpts from the conversation I had with one of my friends:

me: when you were younger, did you accept the religious things you were told or did you question them?

me: Through my whole life i have basically despised church. When i was little my dad used to make me and my brother of six years older go. I hated it, I couldnt figure out why we had to go. Even when i was that little, i knew the reason people went to church : to fell good, because they feel like they need to, and mostly because they were made to by their parents. I could tell that none of these things were happening to me, so i really didnt feel the need to go

me: thats the point of religion, and i just feel like i dont need that at this point in my life
