my continually new "self"

i have done some thinking, and maybe "the very notion that there are such things as selves—individuals who persist over time" is not so true. maybe i am who i am at one moment in time and what i believe is the cause of who i currently am (my past history) is only a perception rather than a reality.

this thought, though not beyond what reasonable people probably agree with without thinking of and not really that novel, perturbs me slightly. To help aid myself to have a more accurate perception of my past, i want to write in this blog more often. That way, I can come back and check up on things.

Anyways, things have been going pretty good. I have finally decided just to relax and enjoy summer, as opposed to trying to get a head start on my law studies. July 4th was a reunion of windsor peeps of sorts and it was really good times, props to dan and others for that.

Work has been going well, if a little tiring and laborious; and my sister came home last tuesday. Recently we have been playing large scale basketball games. It consists of two crews. My crew which usually is a rotating cast of characters: pat, alok, aakash, steve, nick, justin and jason berman, jerry and others. We face off against chris z, greg panos, the robesons, justin verrier, laruen dillon, sean elligers, and mike torf. as you can see, we have enough to have subs on both sides. the games have been pretty intense and very enjoyable.

My knees have recently started to hurt a lot, so i am going to try and dead all my cardiovascular activities besides these bball games which means an end to my running and biking. I have still been going to the gym with jerry on a semi regular basis and increasing my strength which has been cool. I have been eating pretty poorly as of recent though so as I cut back on cardiovascular exercise it's probably a good idea to curb my eating of carbs.

I have been doing a lot of reading this last couple weeks, just random online magazine reading. A lot of the reading has been about the intelligence level of animals, something i find very interesting. Even though one doesn't currently exist, the idea of a separate sentient species that humans could interact with, a whole different type of organism, fascinates me. An interesting (and possibly evolutionary impossible) hypothetical is what life would be like if the earth was mostly covered with water and did not really have land masses and sentient sea creatures evolved (like super advanced whales). What would their lives be like?

I also read some stuff about the genetics of religion and one idea that intrigued me was that a person who believes in the concept of "luck" or "karma" in the supernatural sense is a religious person, i had never thought of this before, and i find it a conceit that i can agree with.

Anyways, i think this may be enough for now.

Yesterday, which was a sunday, i went to the gym with jerry then later went over his place and watched a pool volleyball game, played some poker, then ate pizza and chilled, and after that went directly to ice cream place in the center of town to meet up with vicky. it was funny i was talking to chris p on the phone in the parking lot and all the sudden reed zacharias just biked up to me, apparently he was going for an evening ride, which is cool. Now that i think of it, i wonder who is taller, reed or kelton, i am going to guess reed. Anyways, after ice cream with vicky we went to the establishment across the street, the union street tavern, with pat mccooe. I proceeded to drink a lot, as i had not drank in awhile and wanted a good buzz (LOOOOL). i had 3 drinks, pat had 2, and vicky had 1. I had to rush the 3rd drink cuz the place was about to close and on the way back home i called chris p as i was driving and told him of my state and he made me end the call and call him when i got to my house, that good Samaritan he is haha.

that is all.
