Tip of Montauk point.

Well, this is the end. The class was very informative in it's own way. I think it truly began when I actually did something outside of class for my own bliss. I can't remember the last time I actually did something for myself like that. Of course, everything is for myself, but not for complete and utter pleasure. I don't enjoy working 30 hours a week and going to class to only see students going far into the major I can only scratch at because they just seem to not need a job. I was in the top 30% of my class, and some of the kids in high school which never tried are now without a job because the world allows to get by with ease. I don't want to do any of the ladder, but I realize something, I can do anything within my own means. I could stop typing this now and do something less exciting, but the world keeps me continuing forward.

The movie "What the Bleep Do We Know" was informative and pointed out many things which I could never guess at. Life is sometimes quite a quantum leap, but it takes classes like Seeing Sideways to put meaning on your available options. Like the movie says, we don't really see anything, but our mind puts meaning on the atoms available in time which creates "items". I only am held back because I put meaning on my limits.

From this class, I feel as if i can push things aside to better myself. I feel like I will be able to create time by ripping a hole in my schedule rather than hoping for a coincidence. I will be able to use the time I created wisely rather than pick at straws and hope for the best. I will be able to do this because I know theres an unlimited range for myself rather than the limits I conceived were there before.

I would like to thank Beth for teaching me what she has. I hope to one day have her as my capstone teacher, if not any form of teacher for any form of class.

Final: picture


It's my final

Who am I in the eyes of others?
I am that one guy who is nice, but your ok with not knowing him. I'm that guy who's been pushed aside by many people. These people include family, friends, scholarly, and of the work place. In the eyes of others, I am something of a weakling.

How do I percieve myself?
I see myself as a lonely person. This being because I know I'm too apathetic to many situations. When I want things in life I really don't try to an extreme amount, and when I don't get them I give up and accept, there is no fight. But the thing I want in life would benefit everyone around me, and it's a shame I'm overlooked.

Why am I here?
I'm here out of coincidence. I've put no meaning in to my existance, for there is none. I don't have faith in an outside force, so I put meaning and faith in the world around me and honly hope it displays some of the beauty I know it has and has had once before.

What are the implications of others?
The implication of my identity is never the same. Im always trying to change my point of view to see the world from all eyes around me, so I feel as if my identity is never truly read correctly. I know implications is one of the downfalls of the world, for we are all just humans who can't truly display 100% of their true inners. Usually the people who display "good" sense of being are the horrible ones.

How am I affected by others?
I am affected by others. I njoy reading people, and my only natural reaction is to somehow reach a level of similarity, and if I don't chieve that (which bugs me) I aim for acceptance. So, why? Without acceptance, nobody would hold similarity to me, and it's impossible to not continue proceed to grow without a constant growth of acceptance.

Is identity static?
NO. Identity is kind of like static friction. It may stick for an extent, but with enough projectile force, static becomes a thing of the past as the projectile object becomes kinetic. I say no, because no matter how much I've changed, I still can see parts of myself which has always been there. Although, the parts of my personality which have always been there don't affect who I become in the future as much as it would if those traits were truly static. Hence, there is hope for everyone.
