Two Heavens - One difficult to get through, one ended with a smiley.

Just had two readings.

One, completely crashed my system, churned my stomach inside-out (not because it was partly revolting, but it was too intelligent that it put myself as revoltingly simple, i.e dumb), made my head spinned, and got me pissy the whole day. But to be honest, it was just classic. Probably takes a bit more time to dissect the author's ideas and stylistic. Some other day perhaps.

The other, was equally intelligent, but less tormenting to my desperate attempt of leafing through more recognized and supposedly "invigorating to the mind" articles - call it a new year resolution. It was very funnily put forth, his arguments, and most importantly entertaining. To the point that i intended to punctuate that with a smiley - but no, remember the resolution, intelligent.

Ok let's just set it straight. First article was by David Berlinski "The Evidence of Things Not Seen". A very sophisticated writing about faith, religion and science. It tackles in a very enchantingly convoluted manner regarding the long-time duel of some scientists condemning the existence, or the belief of the existence, of God. To the point, that you might be left with a twisted tongue in this mental debate with David. Gosh, he's just sophisticated. Pure intelligence.

My goal is to dissect his argumentative structure, his writing styles and his eclectic attempts to justify (more than convincingly) the arguments he put forth. And the most interesting deal about this guy is that he eventually gives a balance overview of the debate, yet convinces you of his own stand. Amazing isn't he. No wonder he is one of the most recognized writer in the field of Faith and Science.

Second article is by Mark Slouka and he wrote about the masked ideology of Democracy in US, one less practiced but more preserved in what he coined it as "lips services". What i love the most about this guy is the tone of his writing - so sardonic yet very casual and entertaining :). ok this time i shall punctuate it with a smiley since its more casual. And the many analogical paragraphs reciting upon Power, as a Right of Man, as a Privilege of Abuse, and one of the Most Time-Honored Perks of All Time - an unbelievable truth, at least to the mindless unthinking robots/victims of such truth. One of the most entertaining points that set him apart is his array of sardonic analogies, from the daring cowboy-worshiping woman in Bush's Rally, the cold sweating jittery president in the BBC live talk show, to the septuagenarian journalists of "Tom" and "Judy", and not forgetting of course, "Mr President".

Definitely need to learn his writing style. Very candidly put forth, yet firm in his stand. Gosh, so brilliant, that it forces me to put another :).

Gonna head on to more readings now. And also Poems. Creative writings. Novels. Movies.

There you go, my first babbles as an Orang utan. Till next time, see ya!
