i blog because i can. i love to write, but i never have time to do it. thats the frustrating part. im sure most people would write more if they could... their ideas and feelings and hardships and loves... i mean who doesnt want to write about that stuff, cause everyone loves to hear about it, surely, atleast women do, i think its because women are more sensible when it comes to making live meaningful. most men wont write, atleast where it is accessible because they are scared of vulnerability. but i think writing is the best way to be the least vulnerable, because when some one is reading what is being written the reader is only present, not the writer, thus the vulnerability that comes with personal contact is lost.

i wish writing was a more common phenomenon, people are suckers for reading into the lives of other people. who isnt a busy body? everyone loves to be in the "know," people love talking about "drama" and watching "drama" and being in the middle of "drama" so why not write about your self? i dont know, but i guess it has something to do with people wanting to talk about it, watch it, be in the middle of it, but no one wants to be the subject of it. well, i still think people should write more. what about things of life, things about being human, humanness and behavior, i mean why do humas want to be wanted but then they act like a jerk to those who want them? why do we love ourselves so much? i mean, i dont think im that vain of a person, but i look at myself in the mirror all the time. naked too. i have no idea why, surely my body doesnt look different one day later? unless i feel bloated from eating too much yins wok. why do humans act so territorially? especially in america, personal space is a commodity. having been overseas a couple times, its so obvious that personal space is not so appreciated or required.but i love my personal space, i hate it when im sitting in a row of chairs and someone i dont know sits right next to me when there is another chair open one seat away. i cant figure that person out, they are in america and they know the personal space laws, but they think they are above those laws and i hate that.

see, life is so weird, humans are quirky, and i dont know why, but im one of them and i demonstrate these principles perfectly. oh, and why do humans love food so much? i mean food is the subject of more than 50 percent of my conversations, i imagine most other people are the same way, but we love food. If you read the hobbit you see that the hobbits have taken on the human characteristic of food love. but any way, i love food! i look forward to eating ever day! i have an idea for a fast food restaurant. sell every possible fast food in one place. that way you can get wendys frosties, chickfila sandwiches, mcdonalds fries, taco bell tacos, oh that would be so wonderful!!!

well any way, i need to write more and i need to write about life and its quirkiness. i need to write about how i feel. i need to write what i think other wise those thoughts die, and what good are dead thoughts?

You and Whose Army?

America elects a pro-choice candidate and suddenly my fellow Christian brothers and sisters head for the hills screaming the world has come to an end. Are not abortion rates much higher in several other countries? Why aren't we just as concerned about "life" in those countries? America elects an economically progressive candidate and people are screaming "socialism" preparing for a Rapture. (An mid-1800's invention of conservative Christian theology). Doesn't America know that Democracy is one of the youngest political philosophies to be employed? Why do we think the fate of the world depends on the success of our economical and political philosophies? America is struggling economically, and Jesus is now coming back to rescue his 2000 year old church from this difficult tribulation. Doesn't America remember that its only 232 years old? Why does God's blessing equate with monetary blessing? Why do American Christians constantly tie the end of the ...

Pastor Or Theologian?

I received a facebook message from a long-lost college friend and roommate the other day. In his cordial greeting he noted, and correctly, that I had just graduated with a Masters in Theology. I really appreciated the recognition and congratulations, but what bothered me was his next question. He asked if I was "going to be a Pastor or a Theologian?" I laughed, not because I thought the answer to the question was obvious, but because of the fact that he dichotomized the two disciplines as mutually exclusive. My first reaction was to respond with a smart alec remark about his ignorance and misconstrued views of Christianity and its relationship to education, but then I had to stop and remember that he graduated from the same undergraduate institution which I graduated from, and probably, like me, attended a 'fundy' church growing up. Reminding myself of this context cooled me off a bit and I kindly responded that I would hope someday to do both. Nonetheless, what his ...

go with your gut

I was sitting in a coffee shop on Sunday, and a young lady sat next to me on the sofa. The place was packed and that was the only other seat open. She asked if she could sit and I smiled and nodded. I continued my business, trying to give the impression that it was no big deal that this cute girl just sat next to me. It wasn't a big deal, after all it happens every day. Right... Though it appeared to be the case, that was not the case. For about an hour or so I could not focus on what I was doing. I was constantly thinking about what I will say in order to strike up a conversation, find out her "status", and make a decision whether to ask her out or not. So I sat nervously thinking about what to say. It wasn't that hard, because she was feverishly grading what appeared to be homework, as if she was a teacher. So at a natural transition in my business I asked, "Are you a teacher?" That was that. She was kind and responded as if not to be bothered by my questi...
