http://downeyessence.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
The Essence of D. Deep thoughts. dark feelings. definite bullshit. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. A friend of mine recently stated that he is "looking for the love of his life". I looked at him and all that came out of my mouth was, "Really? I do not believe that looking for something, especially love, is something that turns out to be beneficial. If you continually point your life in the direction of a goal, you may never reach it and be disappointed. Links to this post. Wednesday, August 17, 2011. Monday,...

The Essence of D. Deep thoughts. dark feelings. definite bullshit. Tuesday, January 10, 2012. The sun is 400x the size of the moon. By sheer coincidence the sun is also 400x farther away from the earth. Because of this, we are the only planet with complete solar eclipses. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Essence of D. Deep thoughts. dark feelings. definite bullshit. Friday, February 15, 2013. Race, Ethnicity and Oppression. Disclaimer: I might piss some people off with this one, but I hope what I write is looked at from my point of view just as I would look at it from those of you that might be pissed. For I am not bashing anyone. I am merely asking for a mind opening. I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF TALKING / HEARING ABOUT RACE and ETHNIC ACCEPTANCE. Links to this post. Thursday, February 07, 2013.

De Nihilo Nihil: What lessons poverty?
http://www.tylerhower.com/2015/01/what-lessons-poverty.html
Monday, January 12, 2015. I'm in my second of three weeks traveling with and teaching a group of undergraduates from the University. We've taken a number of trips and done some service work. Unsurprisingly, we've seen a lot of poverty here. And, though what we have seen does not approach the poorest of the poor, we have seen and talked to and spent time with people whose lives are vastly different to our own. First, something good: Our material possessions don't guarantee happiness. It is possible to...

De Nihilo Nihil: 01/01/2014 - 02/01/2014
http://www.tylerhower.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 19, 2014. Do I represent the human condition? Last year I had the pleasure to teach a class on 20th Century Continental Philosophy. I’m not sure that I have an area of expertise, but Continental philosophy certainly isn’t it. The class involved me having to learn and read a lot of new things. And, I cheated a little by starting with reading Nietzsche—I mean, he almost made it into the 20th Century, right? Among the things we read was Sartre’s novel Nausea. You see this when a student̵...

The Essence of D. Deep thoughts. dark feelings. definite bullshit. Saturday, July 30, 2011. Did you know that 4 billion years ago Mars probably had an atmosphere, water and the beginnings of life just like Earth? It appears there was an asteroid a quarter the size of the planet's diameter that hit it! It was this impact that killed off Mars' magnetic field. Links to this post. Friday, July 29, 2011. Did you know that the Sun is a second generation star? Could humanity have formed once already and left?

The Essence of D: A Circular Return
http://downeyessence.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-circular-return.html
The Essence of D. Deep thoughts. dark feelings. definite bullshit. Thursday, February 07, 2013. It's been awhile. My life went in so many directions at once that the daily, weekly and monthly thoughts of posting to this blog began to fade away. There were job losses, vacations, relationships and more, but all of them were important to help me grow and learn. Adding up the time it seems forever that I sat down to write. Here I am. I have returned. I have a nephew that just turned 3 and is the purest form ...

The Essence of D. Deep thoughts. dark feelings. definite bullshit. Sunday, June 17, 2012. To Dad, on Father's Day:. You may have thought I didn't see,. Or that I hadn't heard,. Life lessons that you taught to me,. But I got every word. Perhaps you thought I missed it all,. And that we'd grow apart,. But Dad, I picked up everything,. It's written on my heart. Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be. The man I am today;. You built a strong foundation. No one can take away. I've grown up with your values,.

The Essence of D. Deep thoughts. dark feelings. definite bullshit. Saturday, April 16, 2011. Stonehenge from an aerial view can be seen to be made up of many concentric circles. A mathematician has discovered that all these circle are actually correlative to our solar system. Stonehenge is actually a map of our solar system. Some of the stones weight upwards of 50 tons and the stones actually have been traced from quarries 100s of miles from Stonehenge itself! Links to this post. The Pyramid was built!
