I currently work from 4 am to 10 am on the weekends, cleaning. This is a great time, as you believe you are up before the birds, and must have some "edge".
The morning was cool though not cold and the city was teeming with people.
Currently reading “Wittgenstein and William James by Russell B. Goodman: the piece is a philosophical analysis comparing the thoughts and connections of these two great philosophers. It is well known that Wittgenstein had few books on his shelf, Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov and William James’ The Variety of Religious Experience. Wittgenstein mentioned at least twice that this book helped him in many ways, as he considered James to be a real Human Being. I suppose one should be familiar with James’ Pragmatism & Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus to really appreciate Goodman’s arguments, however, I’m finding the book extremely worthwhile.
In the afternoon watched a somewhat lame horror film on Netflix, “Darkness”, that was extremely slow in the beginning and the end, convoluted and vague. The film seemed to have so much potential to then fall apart.
Finally completed my short story, “A Spit in the Wind’, about an older woman’s endless attempts at finding love, only to attract vulgar men who never seem to grow up. In the end, decided against publishing the piece on this BLOG, as the story could well be misconstrued by those familiar with my personal life.
As I’ve been reading Kafka’s diaries, (again) and have been for some time now, wrote a review of the book on Amazon.com, good practice.
Onwards.
