Chet Reads & Writes*

Month: June, 2008

I call BS on this one.

I like to think of myself as quite a politically liberal charactar. It’s amazing the viewpoints I can hold since I was raised in South-East Texas. I don’t know if we fall under the general Bible Belt region, but we should have. Misled Republican-Conservatism is afoot in them dar hills. (Note: There are no hills [...]

Easy-Breezy Day.

I don’t have any immediate readings that I must accomplish for my Philosphy class this morning. I decided in turn to take some time to update a bit. As I said last week I spent this past weekend in Galveston. The water is still as brownish as I remember, and the sun just as hot, [...]

I want to watch more movies and relax, that’d be nice.

Work? Why must I do thee?

This week was the beginning of SHSU’s Summer I session, and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been dying with nothing to do other than my go-to-work-go-back-home routine. I am taking two classes this session, Contemporary Moral Issues and Research Methods. I’m taking them because I have to for my degree plan, but the philosophy class [...]
