Speaking of Haikus
I have a Philosophy paper due in 4 hours. I haven't started. I don't know what to write about. So I'm going to turn in a Haiku. Here are some candidates so far. Have a good laugh. This will be my final college paper.

Writing this I draw
a blank, no thoughts, no desire
Instead write Haiku

Meditate and write
Like Buddha, no want, no desire
Settle on Haiku

Haiku like Buddha
no desire, no torment
pompous nothingness

No desire, Buddha
begets no torment, Haiku
Big fat nothingness

Waste not ones own time
Eased professors patience with
Haiku Salvation

Round belly of Buddha
Buffet out of emptiness
Nibble on Haiku

Tangible IQ
Wisdom through use gives EQ
Settled for Haiku

1. Ahem
Philosophy can
be described as the study
of nothing. So here.

6. And -
So, too, religion
as many people hold that
"nothing is sacred."

8. Hey Slice
First you must decide
How many syllables appear
in the word "desire"

(Note I assume the answer is 2, but there's an ambiguity in your offerings.)

9. I think that is pretty creative.
Although, if I were your prof, I would give you an F.

13. In a class where there's tangible knowledge, instead
a load of pretentious bullshit like "Once you understand, you don't understand"


Well fuck you. Fuck your Philosophical circlejerking, you don't impress me. You can converse with the beret wearing outcast in the back all you want, spare me.

:rant:

14. LOL. Right there with you, dude.
I abso-frigging-lutely despised philosophy, well, actually, my professor. I had to take a bunch of courses to get my doctorate (In psych of all things) and the head of the department was this holier than thou moran who did nothing all day except expound on his own ridiculous pontifications. It was awful. So glad it is behind me.

15. I actually like the class
But I'm completely fucked when it comes figuring out to write about, since we can write about anything, and I've got too much stuff on my mind to process at once.
