To The Virgins, Make Much Of Time

Dead Poets Society

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may

Old time is still a flying

And this same flower that smiles today

Tomorrow will be dying...

carpe diem. first day of class, and this is his introductory greeting. seems like he's our ultimate frisbee instructor, an ex-philosophy professor who thinks he's michael scofield, and he has the tattoos to show for it. but then, scofield's not scofield because of carpe diem.

Song of Myself

Walt Whitman

You shall possess the good of the earth and sun - there are millions of suns left;

You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books;

You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me;

You shall listen to all sides, and filter them from yourself.

what does poetry reading have to do with ultimate?

Jean Piaget: The principal goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered... You have to make inventors, innovators, not conformists.

Rage Against the Machine

Fight the war, fuck the norm.

take all this from someone who chose the sport over two women and a healthy left leg, someone who apparently is almost uninterested in anything else. hmm... he's kind of cool though. poetry reading's kind of refreshing, too; putting things into perspective, i'd rather listen to his random rantings about heart injuries than stuff like...

...OK, this equation says that as x approaches a from the right, the function f(x) approaches infinity, therefore the limit of f(x) is equal to infinity. we also say that the graph of the function is asymptotic to the line x equals a... the limit of the slope of the secant line, as delta x gets closer and closer to zero, is equal to the slope of the tangent line at any given point (x,y)...

...which are absolutely more random than life philosophies. speaking of random, i just finished listening to this song right now.

tomorrow, tomorrow, i'll love you tomorrow...

i guess i'm just exhausted. unfortunately, a math 100 long exam and ultimate won't let me lie low yet... so help me God.(",)
