blogging is hard work
Every week I have to post a new blog and every week I am caught off guard. Sunday rolls around and I realize I have to post another one for the week and I haven't thought about what I'm going to write. Since I currently do not have any sophisticated topic ideas or a topic remotely interesting I shall wait a couple of days until I feel inspired. I'm sure I will think of something soon...

See You At The Pole
Wednesday, September 27th, was See You At The Pole day. See You At The Pole is a national day of prayer for schools. Students meet at the flag pole to pray for their schools, student body, staff, the nation, etc.
San Jose State met from 7:30 to 10:30am. Students came and went according to their class schedule, but our time was awesome. We prayed and sang songs by the flag pole in between McQuerry Hall and Sweeney Hall. The guitar definitely set the mood for a time of worship.
In continuation of the See You At The Pole event was the Gathering Of The Unashamed, in downtown San Jose at the Cesar Chavez park, that evening. Christians from all over the bay area gathered for an awesome time of prayer and worship. Two of our very own SJSUers led the bay area in prayer. Hundreds of young people showed up, Christians and non-Christians as well.
A Canadian band called Hawk Nelson performed and they definitely drew the crowd in. Girls were swooning over the lead singer and their pop-rock sound got the crowd excited.
I believe San Jose will see many changes in the months to come. This gathering downtown was a great opportunity for fellow Christians to just hang out and stand united.
The best part was that it was all FREE.

Nietzche
I'm having a hard time getting into the teachings of Nietzsche. He might be considered a great philosopher, but I don't think that he did anything particularly impressive. To me, Nietzsche was just a man completely dissatisfied with life and never achieved happiness or even contentedness, even though he tried so hard to think for himself.
I'm not saying that since he thought for himself and wasn't happy that we should therefore not think for ourselves because we won't be happy. All I'm saying is that I don't feel he had a meaningful life. All Nietzsche did was question institutions and destroy the foundation of peoples way of thinking and living without providing a better way.
I have yet to finish reading the Genealogy of Morality so I might change my mind.
