A friend of mine was driving to West Virginia today so I thought I would tag along. Mainly because my roots are in West Virginia. It is weird because my parents moved to Ohio, which i think is a step down but what can you do. I was itting in my mother's parlor chatting with her, and the dog I grew up with was sitting at my feet. It was such a natural feeling when I came home, my dog beau came to me, and I spent some time with him, mom used to call him her boy now she refers t him as Old Man. I grew up with animals in the house. I remember having two dogs and three birds growing up.

I have two birds, as I have said before, and I had to find a bird sitter for the weekend. I was feeling anxious last night because someone else was in charge of them. I suppose some separation anxiety. I enjoy having the animals around. It is neet to sit in a meeting at my apartment with Abraham (the male) on my shoulder. Sarah (The female) doesn't like to sit as well. I love having animals around... it makes places feel like... home...

Biblical Theology: Quote of the Day

I often wonder what to post about on this blog, sometimes because nothing is going on, sometimes because I don't want to be like every other blogger who wants his own personal forum on the web even though I want one. I mean who doesn't want their own forum, their own place where, like yertle the turtle king of salama-sod, the ruler of all they survey. I have been reading a lot of blogs, and I enjoy doing it, I like to see differerent perspectives, though more importantly I want to get in my say. When it comes down to it, I really want people to know what i think about whatever. And sometimes, sometimes I just want certain people to know what is going on in my life.

I suppose in the end it is important to accept that in some way I desire community, it is important to me that people know me. It is important that whoever I choose to be, people know me... not a stereotype from my chosen religion, not a stereotype of race or whatever... And maybe this is just one more way for me to ask for community.

Stella

I remember as a teenager there was this show called “The State.” It is by far my favorite sketch comedy show EVER!!!! It is a shame that it never got picked up, I will never forget Barry and Levon, Doug, Larry the guy with the catchphrase, or those crazy Sea Monkeys. As of current a new show came on comedy central called “Stella,” staring Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Waine. All three members of the state (there are also the state people on Reno 911 but I just don’t think that show is as good).

I personally think “Stella,” is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen, but I look forward to every episode of it. Tonight they are growing crops in their floorboards, and it has been so stupid I can’t help but watch, over and over again. Have you ever seen a show like that? It is so weird because I don’t think the show is a train wreck, it is just ridiculous. Wonderfully ridiculous.

I am trying something new

I am trying something new, there is an add on for MS Word where I can type in word and publish directly to my blog, so here I go.

Yesterday we threw a little party at HUGSR. I am a member of the student government of the school. So I get to help plan these official happenings. I was in charge of food. It has been fun learning to cook the last few years, and cooking for over a hundred is always fun. I started cooking a little after 2:00 and worked in prep until about 9. That was exciting because I came directly from church. After that I met a wonderful friend for some coffee. I was exhausted at the end of the night. It was very tiring but very rewarding. I love to work in the background.
