Break-Up Lines and Philosophy
I saw a no-so-happy couple at the atrium (no, not the couple that was featured in And They Lived Happily Ever After and Temper Tantrums). I deduced that they were unhappy from the sullen look on the guy's face, as well as the tears on the girl's face.
I love lovers' tiffs!
Unfortunately I was in a hurry, so I didn't hang around to chronicle the events that followed. But my guess was that one of them wanted to break-up (probably the guy), and the other had other ideas.
I suppose my hypothesis was subconsciously influenced by this interesting and entertaining blog entry ("Philosophy in Questionable Taste") with a whole collection of break-up lines of philosophers.
Here are a few that I like:
Of course, many of them I couldn't appreciate due to my ignorance. Anyway, I contributed some to the list:
but I kinda regret the Foucault one since gay culture wasn't his greatest concern, or was it?
But this is my favourite:

Here are a few that I like:
The Anti-Solipsist: There’s someone else.
The Empiricist: I think we should see other people.
The Hard Determinist: It’s not my fault.
Plato: Not enough dialogue.
Of course, many of them I couldn't appreciate due to my ignorance. Anyway, I contributed some to the list:
Plato: Can’t we just be platonic?
Einstein: I think we are too closely related.
Foucault: I think I’m gay.
Ockham: You don’t shave.

But this is my favourite:
Freudian: Mom, I think this relationship has gone a bit too far.

Dear fellow voyeur/blogger: I've read through all your entries, and I'm quite sure you'll ace your SATS ;)
I miss my poly days. You're in Mass Comm or Film + Media? Can't access your profile.
Wow thanks for reading. I don't know whether to feel flattered or embarrassed =)
I'm kind of a paranoid android, so I prefer to stay ambiguous and anonymous - I don't even want to reveal my course, but no I'm not from any of the media courses.
And you've got a great blog yourself; one of the few sg blogs I don't mind revisiting =)
