So it begins.....began?.....If I think, therefore I am.....What is the meaning of "blog"?

Well, last night was another “though-invigorating” evening. As it’s typical, it was one a.m. and I was sitting on my balcony with my two roommates at TU—who, by the way, think of 1:45 a.m. as the proper time to discuss why Descartes thought he was a chair, instead of resting for their 8:30 morning classes …But, before I dwell into the moral, metaphysical, and palpably silly discourse my buddies spurt out endlessly, I’ll give a short introduction to this blog and a bit of background on what to expect in following entries.

My name’s John Gallegos and I am a sophomore at TU. I’m a psychology and philosophy double-major, and consequently, I’ve ended up rooming with two other philosophy-majors. I’d mention their names, but the two “elders” would prefer to remain anonymous. My two friends were my suitemates fresh-man year, and towards the end of last semester it became custom for the three of us to sit on their balcony, late at night, and talk about “the world”—in philosophical (well, so called “philosophical”) terms, of course; we would sit out there, fish out a white-board, and try to convince one another that trees actually saw us as plants…Ok, ok, perhaps our debates weren’t that outrageous, but they did get pretty darn ridiculous. Nonetheless, with time came wisdom, and now-a-days our conversation our much more sensical—we used to make assertions based on the knowledge we gained from our “intro. to philosophy” courses; I suppose you could say we have grown to be something like philosophers this year (but we’re not quite there yet).

Our arguments have endured the mind-easing and cool ways of summer, and got under-way during our first night back at TU; I’ve decided to let you guys into our erudite circle, and I will update all of you on the eccentric and “mind blasting” conversations the three of us will have in upcoming weeks. In my next post I’ll start you guys off with one of the sillier ones I can recall from last year, and will include a bit of the ones that occur in upcoming weeks. See you guys then.
