TEGEN DE WERELD
blogging straight and true since 2005
"I shall here write my thoughts without order, and not perhaps in unintentional confusion; that is true order, which will always indicate my object by its very disorder. I should do too much honour to my subject, if I treated it with order, since I want to show that it is incapable of it" (Pascal, Pensees 373).

"The heritage of values which has been received and handed down is always challenged...To challenge does not necessarily mean to destroy or reject a priori, but above all to put these values to the test in one's own life, and through this existential verification to make them more real, relevant and personal, distinguishing the valid elements in the tradition from false and erroneous ones, or from obsolete forms which can be usefully replaced by others more suited to the times" (John Paul II, Centesimus Annus).
"If there were no obscurity, man would not be sensible of his corruption; if there were no light, man would not hope for a remedy. Thus, it is not only fair, but advantageous to us, that God be partly hidden and partly revealed; since it is equally dangerous to man to know God without knowing his own wretchedness, and to know his own wretchedness without knowing God" (Pascal, Pensees 686).
Cryptography is the study of means of converting information from comprehensible form into an incomprehensible format--the art of encryption. In the past, cryptography helped ensure secrecy in important communications, such as those of spies.
Icon (n): a graphic symbol that denotes a program or a command or a data file or a concept in a graphical user interface; a visual representation of an object or scene or person or abstraction produced on a surface; a religious image on a small panel--venerated in the Eastern Church.
If I could through myself / Set your spirit free / I'd lead your heart away / See you break, break away / Into the light / And to the day.

wow! that's soooo awesome, but like you said, sad, as you were the only one who got it. it seems like we watched citizen kane forever ago... i bet that cinema class is going to prove useful in the coming years. not that all our classes won't, but at least in communicating with some of our peers, i think having seen films like citizen kane, the critical skills we learned, and what we learned about our culture and other cultures through the movies, will be important.
I totally agree, guys. And speaking of things happening that remind us of school....I met a guy the other day who knew E.B. Sledge!!!! He was in the marine corps and said that right after the attack on Pearl Harbor he was sent to Australia then to New Zeland and on up the Pacific. He fought at Guadalcanal, Peleliu, and Okinawa. I asked him about Eugene Sledge and mentioned the nickname "Sledgehammer" and he said that he remembered the name but couldn't picture his face. It's not too great a connection but the fact that he had some memory of Sledge after so many years is totally awesome!!! Anyway, we talked about history and the necessity of learning about history and the war. Its so great to have opportunities like that and it made me think of Senior Seminar and American History...I'm gonna miss everyone so much!
