Travel Blog

For those few souls who read this blog, I am currently traveling, therefore you won’t be seeing much activity (of course, I’ve been in exams and writing papers since I started the blog, so there hasn’t been much activity anyway). I’ll be back soon, and I’ll have my Matrix Reloaded review up. I saw it … Read more

Kentucky Fried Brain

The Spring semester 2003 is now finished for me. What day is it? The last few have been a blur. It’s always difficult to accelerate to the frenetic pace of the last month of the semester, and then come to a sudden halt. But I suppose I will manage. Shouldn’t I be doing something?…

Leisure Time

Ok, my brain is fried, but that does not give me the excuse to let it go. This article in National Review today is required reading. The author Gleaves Whitney discusses the nature of leisure and what we are to do with it. Read it–in your leisure time.

Fair and Balanced News

We here at TruePravda (actually, just me–since I’m the only one here) will stand for nothing less than the truth–the name is, after all, TRUEPRAVDA. Therefore, I want to share all sides of the story. For this reason, I’m providing the following link: welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com It’s almost passe, but I still found it to be quite … Read more

Associated Press or Parody?

The news media as we know it keeps proving its irrelevancy. Take, for instance, this AP photo and caption found on Yahoo News (thanks to Opinion Journal for the link). What relevance to anything does this have?

Procrastination

…from the Latin procrastinare, pro “forward” + crastinus “of to-morrow.” The etymology of the word says it all. So, due to lack of motivation to write my paper, I am putting off finishing until tomorrow. It seems after all these years of writing papers that I would learn my lesson. It seems that way, but … Read more
