Title: DT Strain Philosophy
Description:
Updating Title: Welcome to DT Strain Philosophy (2004-2008)
Updating Description: This site is no longer updated, but remains as an archive of my essays. My current site is called,
The Humanist Contemplative and you are welcome to visit it!

To the right you will see this site's contents. While this site features my general philosophy, there is a sister-site to this one, on which I kept a blog from 2004-2008.

The "Noble Conspectus" is a name I've given for a series of essays in which I've tried to capsulize a lot of my ideas about living wisely into an easy-read and shorter format.

"Natural-Objective Ethics" is a little more in-depth and covers why I believe ethics is secular, man-made, and yet objective at the same time. It was written earlier.

"General Essays" include a wide variety of writings on various topics. Most of them are my most recent work. Often if something I have to say on an issue is too long for a blog post, it ends up becoming an essay. As time goes by, I may begin to categorize them.

"Principles of Socio-Personal Humanism" is a body of work in which I attempted to lay out my complete views on the topics presented. While this is a collection of essays, their order and interdependence on one another was carefully planned. This body of work can sometimes be the most tedious of my writings, but should be interesting for those interested in these ideas. Mainly, my goal with the PoS-PH was to get my precise views written out, with less concern for how easy of a read it would be or for presentation.

Additionally, PoS-PH was penned some time ago when I was just out of college and some of it seems juvenile to me now, so I have had to resist the urge to make changes. Not to say that I disagree with it now, but my approach was more direct and crude, as is often the case with young adults. My focus was also more on "debunking" than it is today. Nevertheless, I've decided to keep it as a mark of where I've been.

I have tried to find ways of writing my ideas that make for easier reading and are aimed more at what things bring us together as human beings than what divide us. The Noble Conspectus is a reflection of this effort but, although there is much there I value, it still did not quite get completely at what I am trying to do with my ideas.

In further works, my hope was to to bring together elements of eastern and western philosophy, as well as modern scientific concepts into a cohesive work that is secularly rational and emotionally spiritual; presented in an interesting and easy format. Ironically, presenting things in an elegant and simple format is far more difficult than thinking of the philosophic concepts themselves.

Now I solely focus on my new site, The Humanist Contemplative.

Thanks for reading :)

Sincerely,
DT Strain

Title: Finding A Bridge: My Name Is Kim Sam Soon Sequel
Description: Kdrama fanfiction by clockwatcher
Updating Title: Finding A Bridge: My Name Is Kim Sam Soon sequel
Updating Description: Disclaimer: I do not own My Name Is Kim Sam Soon nor am I affilated with the show in any way. I do not own any of the canon characters in this story.

Note: This story was completed in July 2006 but the dates have been changed for scrolling purposes.

I feel so guilty.

Yes, Dad, I feel guilty.

How sad is it that I don’t think of you as often as I used to?

I don’t think that I miss you less and I am sure I don’t love you less but I hate that I think of you less. Does that make any sense?

Is this what loving someone means? Does it mean I need you less? That I can’t be Daddy’s little girl anymore? That I don’t need you to feel safe anymore?

But I am happy, Dad. I am very happy. And I know that you’re happy for me. And that makes me even happier.

But yet I am sad. Because I get to see you less. And then I am I glad. Because I get to see him more. Am I crazy?

I really love him Daddy. Really! Like really, really, really! I just thought I’d throw that in.

And I love you too, so I hope you understand.




"You! Wake up,” Sam Soon said, shaking Jin Hun.

“Hey, leave me alone. You barely let me sleep last night,” he grumbled.

“And yet, I am up. Get up. The boss can’t keep getting late to work, you know.”

“I’m not the boss – only the boss’s son.”

“Excuse, excuses,” she teased. “Honey, it’s time to wake up,” she cooed, caressing his arm.

He groaned. “You keep doing that and you’re going to have to get in here with me,” he warned.
She smiled, getting off his bed.

---

In a bathrobe with his hair still wet, Jin Hun walked into the kitchen to see Sam Soon sitting at the island, drinking coffee. “So what’s for breakfast?” he asked.

She rolled her eyes. “You tell me.”

“Huh?”

“Isn’t that how you got me to spend an extra night? You promised to make me breakfast. If I’d gone home, do you think I’d be trying to fill my belly with coffee?”

Jin Hun walked past her and headed for the fridge. “Again, if you’d let me sleep, I’d have woken up earlier.”

She rolled her eyes. “So where’s my breakfast? And I don’t want leftovers.”

He gave her a sidelong glance. “Tomorrow?”

She looked up at him. “Huh?”

He smiled. “Spend one more night and I promise to make something for you tomorrow.”

She frowned at him, picked up her phone then dialed a number. “Hey Unnie, do you have any breakfast over there? What?” She slid off the stool. “We aren’t opening till 1 today, right? So I am not late. Relax, I’ll be there,” she said as she walked into the bedroom.

A few minutes later, she emerged with her overnight bag.

“Why are you taking that with you?” he asked, pointing at the bag. “What about breakfast?”

Sam Soon stood and leaned on one leg. “How long have you known me?”

“A little over two years…?” he asked, slightly confused.

“And do you think I am stupid?” she continued as she resumed walking to the door.

“What are you talking about now?” He followed her.

“Do you think I am going to fall for that breakfast line again?”

“You fell for it yesterday,” he said, laughing.

She turned around. “No, Honey, I didn’t fall for it – I wanted to stay. But I am sure my mother misses me. I want to go home today. Is that okay, Sam Shik?” she asked, as she reached for his face.

“Do I have a choice?” He was sulking.

“No,” she said then kissed him. “Talk to you later.”

***
2 years later...

“Unnie,” Sam Soon called as she mixed up some batter. “How do you break up with someone you love?”
