Lately, I’ve been enjoying the pace at which time passes. I’m getting older and I enjoy it. There’s more freedom in being older. There’s also more responsibility. As I get older, I know kids will take what I do as an example of what is or isn’t okay to do. It happens all the time. I wonder what sort of things my future holds.
Flock is a lot better these days. Last time I used it was over a year ago. I suggest getting it if you spend most of your time online on social websites and if you have your own account on the family computer, or if you have your own computer 
I find many weblogs to be very silly. I like when people write about their lives, or any number of other subjects. What bothers me is when every single post is mysterious and doesn’t really say anything. It’s like, “why did you make me read that? I didn’t learn a thing about you except that you are pretentious.” I wonder if we all get like that sometimes… probably. I feel like a person is being cocky by expecting or desiring people to make comments on something that’s not conducive to comments. Maybe that’s where this whole “first!” thing came from - people think to themselves “I want him/her to know I read this but there isn’t anything to respond to, so I’ll write ‘blah was here’ or ‘first!’”. At the same time, however, I can understand not wanting to get too personal. And stop with the billions of inside jokes, or inside anything. Only stop where it’s appropriate. If your blog is just therapy for you, then by all means write whatever you want. If your goal is to please your readers, then stop with the inside stuff.
Michael bought this lamp via ebay. It’s lovely! Don’t you think so? I got the lamp in only 4 days. Good buying experience.

I’ve got lots of time to pray too, so email requests if you want.
I’ve been thinking about life and how we should live it. I want to rely on the bible only as a source of authority on this, but it’s hard not to come across different views. Some say to enjoy life because it’s a gift from God, but take it too far by focusing on riches and end up losing their focus on God. Some say to completely serve God, forsaking everything that is yours or part of you. I think it’s probably somewhere in between. I think we should forsake everything and give it to God, but that God will give us many joys in life if we just obey Him.
Obeying Him, that’s the hard part sometimes. We doubt and question the source of an order we’re given so that we don’t have to do it right away. But honestly, even if you did something that you thought was a command from God, but wasn’t… that wouldn’t matter because God would still make good come of it anyway.
What if something you have was given to you by God, and you lose it? How sad! But as Job experienced, God can make up for that loss (plus some!). Problem is we like what we have now. You know?
It’s difficult to maintain any interest anymore in having a website. My life is an outright bore, so when anything does happen in my life, it’s either bad or neutral. I used to want to have webspace just to keep pictures and such, but I don’t really even care about that anymore either.
I may delete this website and stop subscirbing to dreamhost (which is a great service), or I may not because I don’t know if I’d lost all the good stuff I’ve built up by having the service for this amount of time.
10 dollars a month isn’t so bad.
I wish I could delete my other domain, but I’m pretty sure I have lots of accounts with websites with my email address associated with afaith.com as my sign-up email. I don’t want to try to send a password I forgot to my email address and have it sent to the email address after I don’t have the domain anymore. My email address is pretty common I’d guess.
Whatever though.
We’ll see what happens. I might just blog whenever something happens in my life. That’ll be rare.
Completely off topic: Why’d those noobs have to make Roseanne a drama? I was forced (sorta) to watch Dan have a heart-attack. At least Roseanne took it all back in the last 15 minute of the last episode because she didn’t like the direction the show took either. Why is everyone always giving Roseanne grief? I think she’s beautiful.
Blogs are just so public. I’ve known this for the entire time I’ve been blogging, but it’s bothering me more as I get older. It wouldn’t bother me as much if so much of the internet wasn’t archived. Archiving is great because you can go back later and check out what your family and friends were saying years ago. I think that even if your entries are boring, it still can say a lot about who you were. If I die of my heart disease, I know my younger siblings can go and read my blog entries later on. I have a lot of them backed up, but I won’t give them to everyone I know, hah.
Be it old news or new, it’s still interesting.
Wow. I’ve been listening to music this morning and it has really receded my depression, and made me pretty darn happy. For the last few months I’ve been listening to music a lot. I tend to stop listening when I get depressed because music is such a deep-soul experience for me. It’s like when I’m depressed there’s no room for music, and visa-versa. I can’t bring myself out of depression with music, I have to have a moment of neutrality in my emotions, then start the music and then it can cheer me up.
I find that once I get used to listening to music, and then stop for a week or so, I get depressed. Same goes for singing. I wonder if that’s what is causing it. Michael doesn’t let me listen to the radio when I’m around him, which I think is reasonable, I guess, because they do repeat a lot. He lets me once in a while, but I don’t ask him very often and appreciate when he does let me. I think it’s only happened about twice, lol. Radio is on a rare kick where I like most of the songs played, so I want to enjoy it.
I’ve been spending a lot of time with Michael recently so that’s why I haven’t heard music much, and he hasn’t even been listening to much of his. That’s probably my fault. Some of his music depresses me. It has to match my personality or I can’t handle it. There are exceptions though, like a couple of ICP songs*, lol.
I’ve had time alone this morning since 4am, so I’ve been listening for a few hours on and off.
Man, I love brazil nuts.
*icp songs: one I like is chicken huntin’. 
weird, I know.
