A Real Live Philosophy Major

Avid readers of the "blog" have surely noticed by now that the word 'prospective' has disappeared from the 'about me' section of my "blog" profile. That, darling readers, is because I am no longer a prospective Philosophy major. As of about an hour ago, I am a real-life, bona fide, honest-to-goodness Philosophy major.

I signed a piece of paper, and the chair of the Philosophy department signed the piece of paper. Then he said "welcome to the department." Years from now, when I'm begging for spare change on the corner of 44th and Colfax, I will look back on this moment and say in a loud, slurred voice "Why didn't I stick with English?"

But seriously, guys, this is exciting news. It might even call for a new "blog" holiday. We'll call it Philosophy Day, and it will happen on the penultimate Monday of each month. Each Philosophy Day of the year will have it's own Philosophy major, whom we will all toast simultaneously at 10:15 AM (8:15 AM if you happen to live in Colorado) with vodka shots.

The October Philosophy Day will obviously be dedicated to me, so quick get out your novelty shot glasses, comrades, you're already late!

Do we have any avid readers? For that matter do we have any readers? Maybe it's time for another readership drive. Last time we tried offering interesting content and being friendly. This time I think we should try threatening people's children.

The children of our avid readers are my siblings...Figure that one out. But seriously. Bad idea.

Thats right! Siblings, parents, parents by love (aka stepmom). Lets not resort to threats, just keep on keepin on with the cool ideas.

What lucky kids to have you sharing your inquiring questions, philosophy pretty much covers it all...especially the unsolvable.
Love ya,
Wicked step-mom

Hey, I've got a great idea! Hold a news conference ,but have your friends pose as the reporters asking questions like" how do you come up with such incredibly interesting and astute ideas for your blog?"
-Just one of many avid readers
