Art Review

I google'd "art" and found this. I think it's somewhat interesting. I probably wouldn't buy it or anything, but it's pretty cool I guess. 

We Have the Right

We have a lot of rights. Defining freedom as the ability to act according to our will, we have nearly unlimited freedom. The only thing we are ultimately limited by is our own capability. We cannot perform some action which is logically impossble, and as such we do not have the freedom to act according to our whims. Penalties do not restrict rights, however; just because there is a punishment for some action does not mean the action is impossible. blahblahblah

McCarthy's Birthday Week

I'm not really sure what to say to this more than happy birthday week.

X is Known

One of my favorite quotes from the Autobiography of Malcolm X so far is, "I have never previously told anyone my sordid past in detail. I haven't done it now as though I might be proud of how bad, how evil, I was. But people are always speculating- why am I as I am? To understand that of any person, his whole life, from birth, must be reviewed. All of our experiences fuse into our personality. Everything that has ever happened to us is an ingredient."
Since I couldn't possibly know of every detail of Malcolm X's life, there is no way he could be fully known to me by this standard. I know the things he has deemed important enough to be included, and therefore I know which types of experiences he thinks most shape a person's personality, however.

X Marks the Spot

This blog entry has a double meaning; it may be referring to the X that typically shows the location of treasure on a map, or it may be referring to Malcolm X's favorite hobby. You see, Malcolm X very much enjoyed marking spots. Wherever he went, he liked to leave a playing card with an X on it. While these two meanings may seem separate, they are much more related than they may seem on the surface. They are interrelated in that those X's on the treasure maps were in fact drawn by Malcolm X! Malcolm X realized the impending pirate takeover of the world, and in a heroic effort to prevent another ninja-pirate war he created thousands of treasure maps to distract the pirates. If not for "X marking the spot," the world would be a very different place today; we would all be pirates.

2/11 ​Album/Track Review

The album I've been listening to most recently has been First Temple by Closure in Moscow. My favorite track so far is probably Sweet#hart. I think the vocals are really nice, and the song transitions very well from really different sounding parts. It's a pretty good album overall... That's all I have to say.

I Know This Means Something

I'm not sure what "this" is, so I can't be sure it actually does mean something. In addition to that, I'm not sure what it would be to "mean something" in this context. Because of the vagueness of this title, I'm going to assume the only possible conclusion: "the word 'this' has a definition." "This" is a demonstrative pronoun that deontes something that is present or near in place or time, or something just mentioned, or that is just about to be mentioned. As an adjective, "this" has the same demonstrative force as the pronoun, but is followed by a noun. There are clear definitions for "this," and as such certainly means something. I know it does...
