1. What has been your favorite course of study in or out of school? Why?
Probably my philosophy courses, I've only taken lower level classes but they were the ones i most looked forward to. Those classes really get you thinking about the things you believe in that sometimes can stay hidden away subconsciously somewhere.
2. How many pages was the longest paper you have written? Did it include endnotes and bibliography?
10 pages I'm pretty sure, it was about the pine ridge reservation for the Oglala Sioux. I got really attached to that one, partly because it was so long and partly because the story is so heart breaking.
5. Which books have you read lately: art, fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi, poetry, environmental, film? Any comments are welcome. Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut, An Apology for Idlers by Robert Louis Stevenson, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote and I've been reading all of Herman Hesse's books, just finished Steppenwolf and in the middle of Rosshalde right now.
6. Which artist or writer really impresses you? Why?
Herman Hesse is probably my favorite writer right now, his style is very honest and introspective. I like to see what actually going on in the mind of an author more so than the story being and Hesse does that for me with good balance.
7. What is your main interest besides writing, art, music, (i.e., the humanities)?
I like to hike up in the mountains, its always nice especially at night though.
8. Please describe briefly an article in a newspaper or a magazine that got you thinking lately.
My friend showed me an article about how the star, Beetlejuice, may turn into a supernova sometime in a span of 150,000 years. Scientists predicted that it would pretty much give the Earth a 2nd sun. Imagine waking up and rolling outta bed to see a supernova illuminating the sky at 4 AM, now thats something I can look forward to.
11. Please share with us a thought or an idea that really widened your intellectual horizon. If possible, give a source for this idea so that those who are interested know where to go.
"One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time." - Demian by Herman Hesse
