This is so far a success! I’ve been going to yoga classes at our rec center regularly since the first week of September. Absolutely loving it. I’m really getting such a good feel for the practice. I think it’s easy to be drawn to it (especially for me) because you can never fully master yoga. There’s always room for growth and improvement…something I’m constantly working at!

The Question of God is the name of the humanities class I’m taking this semester. After one lecture, I’m betting it’s going to be a good one. Prof Alex Nova teaches, and so far does a good job. He explained faith in a pretty decent manner last Thursday and it certainly got me thinking. He said that faith is a risk in the face of uncertainty. And without uncertainty, there need not be faith—that is to say, if you’re certain in your beliefs, it’s no longer faith. The credibility of faith is only determined in the course of one’s life, and can only make sense through human experience. Most of these ideals come from the ideals of theologian St. Anslem, but I think they hold true today. Faith isn’t something that can be understood on an intellectual level. Maybe that’s my problem, I’ve been approaching the subject in the wrong way? How do you let go of intellectual instinct and let your experimental understanding take over? Hopefully something covered in a future lecture…
My roommate turned me on to a MySpace band/guy called Norwegian Recycling. It’s got a Girl Talk-esque flair of sampling music and blending it flawlessly. Different than Girl Talk, NR takes most samples from mellow tunes, and blends less in each song. Listen to 8 Become 1 when you look this guy up on MySpace: www.myspace.com/norwegianrecycling If you’re a fan of mashups, you’re going to be in love. And if you’re not, you’ll still be in love. On his myspace he has links to websites where you can download all tracks free. Do it.
