Looks Like I'll Post More...

I'm sitting here in my English Comp class. Yes, that's right, I'm back in college. I'm the "old" guy. I am glad to be here, nevertheless, and am grateful for the scholarship I was offered in theater that helped make it possible. Things are coming together (slowly and differently than I planned) but they are coming together. Let's see what happens. The ride should be lots of fun.

I'm So Dizzy My Head Is Spinning

Oh yes the oldies. And right now a song totally applicable to my life. Ever feel like you are getting a grasp on things and then suddenly....you are back on the bottom rung of the ladder.

Ever wonder why so many people leave you alone when down but become your best friend when things are great.

I like to be a bit light hearted in my blog, but recent events in my life have had people question my intentions and whether or not I'm real.

I find it very interesting that other people always seem to know more about me than I do. I've thought about giving my brain to science since I apparently don't need it thanks to all the others who have decided I am their personal project.

I am starting to wonder about people in general and how easily they can be swayed. I wonder at times if I've ever found that true friend who accepts unconditionally who I am and what I say. Who isn't tossed about upon the waves and blown with every new wind as James so eloquently put it.

I have always believed people. Most say that makes my naive, but I think it makes me trusting. Have I been burned. Oh yes I have been burned many times. I think I am keeping up with with the trauma count at the Galveston Burn Unit. But I guess I will just get some ice, and get back up.

Somewhere out there are those true people who don't judge or allow themselves to be better or higher than others. Who know that beams and moats exist in all and that true Christlike unconditional love and encouragement are the spirits way of bettering each of us. Not belittlement.

Sorry this was a bit of a downer, but hey it's my blog. Thanks to those who read and for those who accept the faults in each of us. You are the true inheritors of the kingdom of God.

Holy Hot!

Well, it is hot as heck here in SE Texas. Aunt Jill made the comment that none of us will go to hell because we've already done our time here. Hmmm? Something to think about.

Had a great day! Super busy but unproductive. My laptop is way to slow to handle the operations I need it to do. Computers are supposed to make things easier, but I wasted so much time waiting for the stupid thing to catch up to me it was insane.

Why do they make programs more and more complicated and not allow the computer to run it. Yes I know...they want you to buy new computers. But guess what...they can all....well...you know.

The rest of the day was fine, other than the need to take a shower everytime I stepped out the door. I seriously sweat like an Elder's Quorum President in my father's office...ok maybe not quite that much.

Oh well. That's about it. I'm sure there is more to come and believe me when I say...it's gonna get interesting.

Day One (hopefully not the last, but hey who knows)

So I've started a new blog. Yes my life has been turned upside down and I have no idea what lies in store. Most people looking at me would not say I look like my head is up my proverbial butt, yet the truth is that it is. It has just traveled so far that it has resurfaced through my neck and has the appearance of being in the right place.

But be that as it may, each day seems to be a new adventure, trial, and learning experience. I have come to this conclusion at least; I love the two superstars of my life...Emma and Hayes. They are everything to me and they continue to teach me new things each day.

I was particulary impressed by Emma's understanding of people and wishing they could learn to love each other unconditionally. Furthermore, Hayes, age 10, commented today that he decided the most powerful things in the world are as follows (1) Friends, (2) Forgiveness, and (3) love.

WOW! Out of the mouth of babes. If I can figure out how they do it, then I might just get this thing called life figured out before I get too old.

I was told earlier that I was old, but I claimed to be like a fine wine.

My recent addition to my list of those I consider good friends and worth listening too asked the following,

"Does that mean you are constantly fermenting?"

Nice huh? I merely commented back yes, but also always increasing in value. Haha..(sorry it was the best I could come up with, she stumped me...I know I'm shocked too.

Well to bed I go. Perhaps I'll write again before the second coming...here's hoping.
