Insomniac Ramblings
Been up since 2am stressing my interview with Josh Hoge today. Why? No idea. He's a Hoge, we will get along famously. But, it's my first face to face interview and I am ready to puke. Could also have to do with the fact that the particulars are not worked out and I stress that sort of thing.
Looks like I may get a promotion at work. Not getting excited about it yet. Want to see it materialize first.
Checked my email about an hour ago and saw Barry of Carbon Leaf posted a new blog. For those affected by the Va Tech shootings, you should read it. Because of his post I went back and re-watched their video from the show they did there shortly after the tragedy. I remember telling a friend a few days after everything happened that I still hadn't let the events sink in yet. No, I never went there, but I have friends currently attending....those were some tense hours waiting to hear from them...they all were okay.
Anyway, back to what I was saying...watching the video after reading his words, it sank in. I'm overcome with grief, sorrow, and above all joy. Obviously there is no joy in what took place that day, but seeing the video and strength of the human spirit....that brought me joy. Joy in the fact that the peers of the ones who lost their lives will not let them be forgotten. Joy that people are finding the strength to go back. Joy that this tragedy will not define that campus...and joy that people like Barry Privett and other "celebrities" understand the scope and the magnitude of what happened there and are trying to be part of the healing process.
