Coming up with a name is always a challenge. First off, you're supposed to sum up your entire mission, your entire personality, into a mere one or two words. So, It came to a choice between "Angel of Darkness" (courtesy of my seven year old brother), "The Apocalypse isn't coming...yet." "Rose Boat," or "The Philolog." And honestly, Philolog doesn't sound revoltingly sentimental and is actually kind of fun today. Despite the fact that it sounds technical and unfeeling. And philosophy, at least to me is not cold and unfeeling, but full of the highest thought and emotion.
And according to the world, Philosophy is actually useless. Now, if you happen to be reading my blog for your daily dose of philosophy, I don't think you share the opinion. At least, not unless you're being tied up and forced to read this, in which case I will try to make the experience as enjoyable for you as possible. Well, in layman's terms and goals, in the average individual's materialism and greed and lust, philosophy is kind of useless. But if we are to rise above that blatant ignorance and materialism, then philosophy is not only useful, but necessary. Necessary to keep humans, well, human and thinking, more than animals. Animals do not philosophise. Not to be jumping on the train of "humans are oh so superior to animals," because are we? Are we really? But that's another blog post for another day.
Well, back to the title thing, I figure I should tell you my mission on this blog, since the title obviously didn't do that. Do you know those random, nagging thoughts that keep you up at night? Really deep things, that when you wake up in the morning seem melodramatic and trivial in the face of day to day routines? This blog aims to expose them, to show that they are not trivial, , (unless thoughts of blue ponies keep you up at night, in which case you need a psychology, not philosophy). And maybe discover some truths and interesting facts that we've never thought of before.
