i skipped a day. whatever shall we do? well let me catch up. the last couple of days have been so busy, i haven't even thought about the internet, and haven't even checked my personal e-mail from the house. wednesday, i had some stops to make on the way home, and yesterday was just insanely busy all day.
a couple of things i have noticed:
1. things which usually seem so important to me to do online, really don't matter. i have 3 friend requests from facebook, and i can't imagine that those people are going to be terribly offended if they have to wait a couple of weeks for me to confirm. other things i have needed to discuss with people that i usually would do via message board or IM, i have actually called the people to talk about. it's nice to hear a real human voice, and have a normal conversation.
2. there are some things on the internet that can be very beneficial. i snagged a nice laser printer for $75 (with shipping) the other day. i don't feel bad about this, since i needed it, and it only took me about 5 minutes. i also want to trade some guitar gear, and i think i'm going to make a listing on craigslist for it. this will also only take a few minutes, and will be a great use of my time.
a few other random thoughts this morning......
1. i wonder how The Who feels about one of their iconic songs being performed by someone who "sure plays a mean xylophone"? (if you didn't watch the BCS championship last night, you might miss this one).
2. brian mclaren, in his book 'a generous orthodoxy' makes the following statement:
"For too many people, the name Jesus has become a symbol of exclusion, as if Jesus' statement 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me' actually means 'I am in the way of people seeking truth and life. I won't let anyone get to God unless he comes through me'." ...... i think this is something we should look at seriously, because i think he's right, and i think people get this idea, not from the Bible, but from people christians, and their presentation of what and who Jesus is. (i know some of you don't like mclaren, but i hope you'll still take a close look at what he's saying there, because i think there ARE a lot of people who feel this way, and it's not a good thing!)
ok. it's time for me to get to work... i got here early enough today that i could pound this out real quick. don't hold your breath for an update tomorrow. saturdays have seemed to be awfully busy lately.
oh yes. i want to wish a happy birthday to my little sister. only one more year of being in your 20's, kelly. you know, some people do their entire lives without having 4 kids, and you'll pull it off before your 30th birthday! (and i beat you to 4, but i had to cheat to do it.)

You know the original plan was for us to have 6, and to get it done before Michael hit 30. I think if it had happened, I might have landed in a psych ward.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks! I've got high hopes that my 30th birthday won't suck quite as bad as this one did. Of course, since Michael will most likely be out of the country, maybe I should just hope for a good 31st.
