Random thoughts...

[keebler683]

Okay...first of all, I would like to say that I've had a wonderful past two days. Yesterday was Landon's birthday and I got off work early, drove to his town, then we drove to St. Louis to a Cardinals game - which they won. Then it was quite the drive back to town last night, but we made it safely back. I had a blast

Hey there. I told you I was going to start giving you some comments, and I'm finally getting around to it. I don't have an account yet, so that's why I'm "Anonymous" today. Anyway, I'm glad you had a good time with Landon at the Cardinals game. I don't know if it's the same way with you or not, but when Celesta and I would do something fun, it would last for a few days as a fun time. But from then on, the more time that went by, the more "magical" and perfect the memory became. Most of that is probably from missing her so badly, because I did it throughout college too. Every Sunday night that I would drive back to school, I'd get the feeling that I took the weekend for granted because things suddenly seemed so much more special.

Anyway, about your second "Random thought," I can remember getting a lot of the same thing when I was in high school, mostly for two reasons. First, with the car I drove, the first thing some people would ask is "So, how fast have you had it up to?" You wouldn't believe the looks on people's faces when I'd say "Oh, never faster than 75 on the interstate." It's like they carried the attitude that I didn't deserve a car like that if I wasn't going to "drive it to its full potential." And second, since I lived so far out of town and in the sticks, I had little to no social life outside of school. So you can imagine how many "I feel sorry for you" and "That must be boring" comments I got. And of course it was because they had never experienced the things I had in nature. They didn't know that I was much more content sitting on a tree hanging over a creek flowing by. But boredom is completely subjective. It's like a jackrabbit telling a rock that it must be boring sitting in the same place all day, and the rock telling the jackrabbit that it must be agonizing always running someplace. I think the same goes even between Christian people. Say you have one person who had a very dramatic turnaround in his life, and is now traveling all over the country telling his story. To him, your life may be boring because he has a fire lit under his buns to go tell thousands of people. And to you his life would not exactly be appealing, as you're trying to establish something solid and make a difference to people around you. And that's completely fine, because we can't have everybody running all over the country telling their story because there would be nobody to listen. Anyway, I guess what I'm rambling about is that you really seem to be bothered when people call your life boring. So maybe you can take some comfort in knowing that not only do people not know what they're talking about when they call your life boring, they can't know because they're not you. So you shouldn't get upset about it. It's like a second-grader coming up to you and telling you that you're doing a calculus problem wrong. You'd just shrug it off and smile because he couldn't know.

Well, sorry about all the rambling. Looks like I really need to get an account set up for myself so I can blow off some steam. Talk to you later.

Hey, I checked out your ramblings. You've got a lot of good thoughts there. I can tell your mind is pretty busy and I like the way it thinks. I'm Nathan Bergland. I graduated a couple years before Kasey and I know her through my girlfriend, who is good friends with her. By the way, sorry for using your journal to yap about myself Kasey. You probably saw that you got another comment and were let down to find it's just me talking about myself. I promise I'll leave you a real comment next time you post. Anyway, talk to y'all later.
