Just wondering if there is an Opera that is more popular at Christmas time? Been working the Magic Flute for the past 10 days. Had quite a few families today. I remembered seeing British stamps of Christmas Performing Arts depictions.

When I was 13 or 14, I was coming out of a depression and my epiphany was something like "Life is a comedy and I get to watch."

Then at 16, I realized something like "I can't put my life in the hands of someone just because they say they will take care of me. I am my primary care taker."

Or like Liz Murray (wiki her, its amazing) when her mother died and realized that people are just people. Kids who go to Harvard are as human as kids who skip school. What makes them different? Whatever it is, you can fill in the gap.

So what are some of the epiphanies you have made in life. I just turned 18 so I only have 2 I remember.

Okay, so, the break is over, and now its time to vote. I will not vote, unless a tiebreaking vote is needed. I'll ask you to pick and rank from first to third, the selections that you are most interested in reading. I am hoping that a clear directive emerges from the first rankings, because if not, then I will have to go review voting methods. Anyway, please pick your top three. I won't vote unless a tie-breaking vote is needed.

1) Immanuel Kant -- Prolegomena

2) Seinfeld and Philosophy

3)Otherwise Than Being: Or Beyond Essence

4) the alchemist.

5) Gadamer's Truth and Method

6) Phenomenology of Spirit -- Hegel

7) Kierkegaard's Provocations

read. i have a baby and want to cultivate reading habits in him even as he is still a baby. but for that i need to learn to read myself. i am so used to watching tv and chatting uselessly on the net that i cant sit down and see myself picking up a book and reading patiently. i am ashamed to confess, i havent even read enid blyton, nancy drew or any of those books kids in their childhood and teens read. i get scared to stare at a fat book and fall asleep if the first two pages are boring. biographies and real stories interest me more that fiction. how to develop a liking to all subjects?
