kierkegaard

when i began this journal i thought of calling it something like skateboarding and kierkegaard, even thogh i did not yet know what kierkegaard wrote about yet. i knew he was a philosopher, and i liked that idea that skateboarding could shed light on a kierkegaard, and kierkegaard could shed light on skateboarding.

i looked him up, and he wrote a book called fear and trembling, and talks about a knight of faith, who trusts in something beyond reason. he is willing to give everything up because he trusts in the absurd.

so it is with skatebaording, one can let go of what your reason says is a good idea. let go, rush down that slope, and trust in something beyond reason, trust in the absurd.
