Griping

So I went to the store today and they no longer have the razor blades I need for my razor. grrr. I bought a whole new razor and a bunch of replacement blades. Its sad that things always need to be new. Why cant we stick with the old? Do only the old want to stick with the old? Am I getting that old?
Why the need to upgrade. I feel like we Americans always have to have something new just to please our desires and make us feel like we are doing something or accomplishing something. Its almost too easy to just survive in American so we feel the need to always have and do more, and cant be satisfied with what we have and do now. Its always a thin line, because u want to strive for more. Its how we grow. But the direction we have taken it in seems to be wrong.
And I love technology, but I was thinking. Man, technology... has it really done much for us, or just made our lives more complicated? perhaps, its finally coming full circle and being perfected. then again, who knows what the future holds.
Im just trying to simplify my life and really home in on the important things. and now Im rambling.
Go Steelers! haha. We are going to win the Superbowl this year. Seahawks dont have anything against us. Yeah, so goodnight. till next time.

Here we go again

Yeah, so Im settling into my job now. Go figure. You guys thought Id never say that, but I can honestly see myself doing this for awhile. Granted, I still have a lot of other things I wanna do, but I want to turn my ambition away from always looking for a better job or opportunity to really working on myself and my relationships with people.
Im going out on a date tonight. Im not too excited, but Ive gotten to know this girl and she is pretty much on the same wavelength as me which is good. She is going to get her masters in int'l policy which I think is pretty cool. Of course, in every other way we are total opposites. Maybe Ill say more about her later.
My Space has been more addictive then Blogger ever was and its getting really big. It was hard to convince people to join blogger and write about there lives, but people have no problem posting pictures, and comments, and everything else on My Space. Guess they passed up Google in the number of hits they get a month which is incredible cause Google is my home page. lol.
And Ive been helping out with the youth group a lot more lately. We had a worship set after this show with Three Cord Wonder and Regardless, two local Christian bands. it was awesome. and I showed up on a Thursday night for once. Basically Rob out worship leader is leaving very soon and we are looking for a new high school pastor. Its going to be interesting the next few months. And I gotta step it up with worship. I hope they hire someone with some worship ability.
Anyhow, Ill leave you with this. I was talking to my friend Wendy online and she asked me, "Have you been committing any crimes lately?" and I said, "...only stealing girls hearts." ;-) You gotta understand the relationship we have to really get it but I thought it was funny. Take Care...

Happy New Years!!!!!!!

Well its 2006 and we are all getting older. haha. You know, I wish I could have recordings of all the wonderful conversations Ive had over the years. Last night I spent New Years with two of my newest friends, Matt and Diane. It was a mostly uneventful night where everyone else seemed to be having lots of drama. In any case, we all had a good time and the night ended at Matt's house. His parents had some of the neighbors over and one of those neighbors gave us some cigars. Who am I to pass that up?! They were from Honduras, the good kind that last a long time. So we were sitting outside in the brisk air smoking our cigars and just talking about life. And it was wonderful. And everytime this happens to me Im like, "wow, I miss this". I miss college primarily for the reason that most people like to talk about the deeper issues of life. I dont hate small talk but it annoys me sometimes, and I know its mostly the environment that allows you to get into these types of discussions, but all I want to really say is that I miss it.
Ok. So you are wondering what we talked about. Well, Matt is majoring in journalism and is a wonderful writer. And somehow we started talking about John Steinbeck's works and how he was very much a global thinker and how some people have such a limited view of the world. Gosh, I dont want to sound pessimistic though because Im hopeful. I couldn't believe I was actually acting the literary critic when I probably havent read a good piece of literature since college.
Anyhow, it lead to us talking about life and death, and what we are here for, and how we should live our lives, and then I realized why Im so careful with who I spend my time with. Talking about deeper life issues really nourishes my soul, and I really miss it. I really, really do. And I need to start surrounding myself with those types of people again. Even more then I do now.
In any case, my new years resolution is to go back to school. Anyone else have any new years resolutions they want to share?
