Back In Black
Click to viewGoodness it has been a while hasn't it? That there was The Foo Fighters along with Jack Black doing an exceptional cover or Back in Black by AC/DC, which I currently am.
Haven't have internet in a while and I tell you it's been more of a blessing than anything. Although I am happy to have it back. Right now I feel like I owe my journal an update, which what I will be doing now. Alright, let's get cracking.
Spirituality
Start with the most important things I suppose. So the past few weeks have allowed me ample time to get back into the study of God's word and it's been very rewarding for me. I know that i still need a little more discipline trying tog et it done regularly but I've been learning so much these past few weeks, it's been amazing.
I still need to kind of force myself to get into a regular routine but I have a distinct feeling that once I begin, I will fall in love with reading the Bible and trying to get as much out of it as I can. God's been very patient with me.
I've been thinking about missions work. I don't know yet if I'm ready to consider it full time; but I feel that I might want to do it as regularly as I can, regardless if it's long term or short term. I don't think I'm being called to pastor work. I'd like to think that God will make it abundantly clear if ever he does decided that I should go into it. it's all up to Him. I suppose I need to find ways of tuning in to what he's saying. Be a little more observant of His movement in my life.
I'm currently preparing for a special trip next year. It should be wonderful. Can't wait to see what God has in store.
Friends
Well hello there! I didn't really end on a very good note last time. I suppose it was all very abrupt. tempers were running high. I dislike being accused of not caring. I mean, I do readily admit that I might not be the most consistent person around and I can be very lazy at times, but I do dislike it with an intense passion when people tell me I don't care when beyond what they can see I am heavily concerned about them. That's all that was.
Moving along, in light of recent events and circumstances, I haven't been particularly gregarious. I spent a lot of time at home and when I'm not at home I do prefer the company of a tightly knit band of friends. I've been enjoying time at home and I think my mother is very happy to know that I'm bound to stay home a little more often. She's glad because then she doesn't need to hand me my allowance, which I must admit in all honesty, I'm beginning to be ashamed of receiving. I feel like by this time I should be providing for myself. I'm beginning to feel like a tumor.
Anyway, I'm enjoying these small, outings with close friends. I've gone to FA twice this week to do nothing but sit around and hang out. I've seen Aaron and Sandra both times (immeasurable joy). Also, Nico is out of the hospital and walking around. That wound is both horrible and awesome at the same time. How many people do you know have "Flesh Eating Bacteria"? It sounds like something out of a horror film. I'm real glad he's doing fine. We will be watching 2012 soon.
I've been talking to Jess more often. When i decided to start reducing the rate of loquaciousness among friends (because me talking to my closest friends in intimate capacity usually ends in disaster), having someone else get closer with me wasn't really a consideration. I've recently discovered, however, that I've been blind to Jess's genuine concern. How rude of me.
I've known her for quite some time and we talk and such, but we usually just goof around. After having been able to talk to her for an extended period of time I discovered a true friend who I seem to have ignored for quite some time. So we talk more now which is lovely. I think we might catch lunch next week to catch up.
Now very far off topic, Jess has been playing host to an expatriate visitor, who I've had the grand pleasure of spending some time with this past week. She is Andrea from Canada. Land of Robin Scherbatsky. She likes all sorts of music (save Opera), reading books and her favorite film is Gladiator. We've been getting along just fine. Today she treated us to Krispy Kreme. That was so very detrimental to our health. She flies on Saturday, back to the great white north.
So I'd like to think that Friends have been doing well (even those who've decided to disappear). At least on my end I'm doing well, in relation to friends. All fair folks.
Work
I'd like to say that I've been vastly productive, but I'd be lying. I must say that not having internet is a major advantage if you ever want to get something done at home.
I've been working on the comic project Anti-Hero, with Tim V. I've got some designs out, still need to do a couple of sample pages. I wasn't able to do a lot for work this week though; for reasons I will later state. I believe Tim will be putting up a blog to chart our progress! Do stay tuned for that! I sure hope this flies!
I'm also accepting odd jobs here and there. I do pretty much anything. Or at least I would do pretty much anything. I just want to get paid. I'm dirt poor. This has to change.
Thesis
I really would rather not talk about this. I'll do it, I'll do it.
Alright. So that's me so far. I don't think I've let anything out. I'm hoping to meet you fellows back here soon. Right now, it's waaay past my bedtime. Goodnight folks!
Ta!
