Blog #3 --Philosophy and E.M. Forster--

I started reading the Symposium by Plato on my free time. I don't think I can be more interested in the what some people call the driest of subjects. I find attraction in what others find tedious, telling myself I will NOT be bored. I think I'm part-hipster like that. *sigh* Also, I find myself really enjoying Oh Land's new Album, it's really great. Lollingly, I wrote very intense dark scenes for my book TAFOW to extremely happy songs of Oh Land such as White Nights. Nonetheless, the song is intense and epic! Apart from this, I find that my Professor at Bishop's Uni. Dr. Harvey White has got to be the awesomest prof I've ever had! He takes Philosophy of Religion and makes it soooo interesting it's craaazy! I want to know more about the Philosophers! Hence, the reading of Plato's works. I am now avidly absorbed in Lysis and the Symposium like a little Japanese school girl reading Shonen-ai for the first time. I heard about the Symposium for the first time in the movie Maurice based on the book by the same name written by the famous E.M. Forster, who also wrote A Passage to India. I feel like writing more in my book Shambles, which I started back in early 2009. It's so haaardd... the brick wall... :P My writer's block is killing me, but at once, I get to focus more on my studies! ;)
