I'm on Spring Break! Ask me anything!
For the next week, I'm chilling at home, skateboarding, sleeping in, and staying away from such sources of stress as obnoxious people and women. Ask me some questions about it!

Enjoy while you can.

5. Hi, Colin.
How's the Nietzsche project coming? I remember your inquiry from an earlier post on Nietzsche for its sheer brains and poise -- and wondered how you're doing on it.

Or, if you're on break and just want to relax, do it and have fun.

All good wishes.

8. Hello! Nietzsche is coming along.
I got a collection entitled "The Basic Works of Nietzsche" which has Birth of Tragedy, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorisms, and Ecce Homo in it along with some other stuff. It's a little (a lot) over my head, so the reading is kind of slow -- most of the time I read it and think something to the effect of "Wait, WHAT?" But when it makes sense it's pretty damned fascinating, I think. I can't wait to finish it, and now I'll have the time because I can afford to put off a school project in favor of finishing it.

Thanks for asking!

6. Dude, spring break is about three weeks away
maybe you should reconsider -- maybe you're on winter break, or whatever.

7. enjoy think of the beach
well I'll think of the beach. It was actually almost 60 in one part of the Northeast, so maybe winter is almost over. And BTW women don't always have to be sources of stress...

10. Yeah. Winter is pretty much gone in the Midwest.
Anyway, at college, women are almost always sources of stress, unfortunately. (Socially, college isn't so great right now. Thank God for vacation.)

9. They call it Spring Break.
And it's dry outside, so I can skate like hell.

Close enough to Spring for my tastes!

12. It's fair for ME.
I'll probably be wishing for another break when you're having yours; you can always gloat then.
