of cool egypt and a fucking philosopher

i skipped lecture today. i haven't read plato's republic, i haven't been doing my history readings, i have a quiz tomorrow, i am jamming tonight, i have a book to read and the lecture will be casted on the web. i seem to have so many things that i haven't done but somehow, i don't feel like doing them because i just borrowed a book and i want to finish reading it first. i'm beginning to get more worried about my english modules and singapore studies module. i'm totally lost and i didn't do my readings! i'm glad to find out that the computing module final exam is open book and multiple choice. muwahahaha... though i didn't buy the textbook. philosophy is multiple choice but understanding the concepts is tough. one of the english module is open book but i understand nothing about it! another english module is not open book.
well, the book i borrowed is 'the orion mystery'. somewhere in the introductory chapters spoke of the egyptian god atum and ra. quoting from the text, 'atum-ra masturbated and created shu, the air god, and tefnut, the moisture goddess.' did you ever know that you can produce offsprings by masturbating? no wonder i have no offsprings. anyway, diyi went to search for information about it and found that atum-ra is self-creating or something like that. that explains the created god and goddess - by masturbating, nonetheless.
i just finished plato's republic book 1. i don't really know how to explain it but if you have the time to spare, you can try reading this. tell me what you think of socrates after when you are done reading. i didn't understand why he was sentenced to death. maybe now i do.
