Now listening to: I just went to pandora.com and typed in "The Avett Brothers, Owen, and William Fitzsimmons"
Hello fellow mellow yellow,
I don't know what to take from any of this life that I experience and label "life" anymore. I used to fear that I may become crazy one day, but now I think that I don't have to worry about that happening.
I'm already crazy. That might be an exaggeration, but I do think I'm slightly suffering from frailty of the brain.

I went to the diner with some friends this Sunday. It was the first time I felt like I had returned to the Mercy House (the church I attend in Indiana). I don't even know how to explain why. I spent time with everyone who was present at the diner long before Sunday, but for some reason when these six people sat at a table with me yesterday, I felt the Mercy House. Maybe I didn't feel the Mercy House. Maybe I felt a part of a church that I needed to be in. I wish I could iterate it more completely, but it's hard to iterate feelings. Feelings aren't thoughts. Feelings aren't words. At least, I think so.

While I was reading blogs today, I realized that each blog fell into one of three categories: 1. Writing to show one's honest self; 2. Writing to teach some grand point; 3. Writing in attempt to practice writing moving pieces.
I'm not saying one is better than the others. This isn't even an argument. I read blogs because those three categories are something I love to witness in friends and in strangers. I thought blogging was very dumb for a long time, but I don't think it's such a bad idea that everyone has a chance to express what they are thinking. I love the fact that it seems impossible to make a blog that has some other motive. (Well, I guess someone could have a blog that is ridiculous and funny without any point, but I will not add those-we-don't-speak-of to the three categories because I don't like that kind of reading. And, since I have the power to write whatever I wish, I will say that those aren't really blogs anyways. Ha! You can't stop me!)

I haven't been able to think about the future in any sense until yesterday. I don't know if it was because I took some of my friend's St. John's Wart, or if it was because another friend told me about an awesome job opportunity, or if it was because someone with a planning-mind showed me the glory of thinking ahead, or if it was a combination of all three, or if it was something entirely different.

thinking ahead has qualities other than causing stress- like enjoying now what you're thinking about for the future.
i'm just better at the first one than the second.
i like the second better.
especially at.... ??
and with that comment i'm agreeing with you. not trying to inform you. i'm enjoying your realization.
those are two different types of comments... write a blog about THAT!
