The Lance

Greetings everyone,

I'm Lance T Flores (and yes, some of my friends call me "Lance T Flores") and I am from Colorado Springs, CO. My nationality is Hawaiian, Guamanian, Greek, German, Spanish and Chinese. I was born in Germany due to my dad being in the Army, but have pretty much grown up in Colorado Springs. I am a transfer from Pikes Peak Community College back in Colorado, and transferred in as a junior in graphic design last Fall. So, this is my last semester here at KCAI as I will be graduating in May (assuming I pass). I have a blog of process work from the past year and a half if anyone is interested in my graphic design work or thinking about majoring in it. (lanceflores.blogspot.com) I'm really into vintage things whether it be graphic design posters, containers, matchbooks, or even briefcases. I own lots of things that are random and different, and also a ton of things from Starbucks...where I work.
As for my goals for this class, the obvious one is to pass (passing in my book is at least a B). I have read some philosophers from the Western Thought II class and some from high school, but in general is difficult for me to remember who has what concept. I am hoping that this class, based on the structure, will help me gain a better understanding and possible appreciation about the philosophers. I'm interested to learn about why we see how we do...
