Procrastination

Isn't it such a terrible thing? I mean, right now I'm supposed to be writing an Affirmative case for my debate camp--that we leave for tomorrow. Now obviously I've been working a while, so I'm taking a break to leave a nice post for some of you guys, that post that you have (or maybe haven't) been waiting for so patiently and yet hasn't come for a long time. So now is a post to break the silence and fill you in on some of those crazy ideas that I thought weren't worth posting about.

Side note:JCP I just went back into the archives of your blog and found the houseplant song. Funny, but doesn't quite compare to "some of that Petra". :)

Isn't it weird how the good ideas come to one's mind in the weirdest of places? I can remember multiple times where in the middle of my shower I am struck by some life-changing idea, but then ten minutes later, I forget about it completely. Or maybe I'm just about to fall asleep, when... BAM!! Just sort of appears and totally ruins the next day cause I'm too tired. Or even while I'm toting a gas powered rotating-wire-head on a stick (commonly called weed whacker) across some random parking lot, thinking about this post and what I should mention on it. Even this mention of random location ideas came to me in a random location. O_o

One such idea came while I was listening to some rock music (that some people might consider too hard). I was thinking about how many Christian friends I had in so many different places, and how many of them had different views on different things, for example their opinion of music, whether hard rock is "neat!" or just... "interesting". Or some people who have theology that would be very questionable to others, yet they are indeed (as far as man can tell) Christians. Then another thought came from that idea--no matter what different views they may have on some subjects, they all have the same common factor, the goal of life being to glorify God. This is hard to put down in words :-\ I think some dots can be left for you to connect.

Anywho, the other few ideas that I was to put in this maybe long post have jogged my memory. I shall probably be back to edit this post later.

TTFN.

I liked this video. I included an inside reference from it. It needed to be posted. I'm tired.

Least original title

In the world. Maybe not, but I like to think that not much is new as far as my titles go.

I don't really intend to directly answer the question why I haven't been available. I'm going to do that indirectly.

Some of you may have heard of this place called "Pine Cove". I shan't post in detail about it. Go look it up with Google if you must. A Sunday afternoon three weeks ago Mom attempted to send Lillian, Annalee, and myself off for a week at this place(note that we were actually going to individual camps so there was no form of contact between the persons) . It turned out we were early. So the next week we made the 2 hour drive again, to be left there for an entire week. It was fun. If this were a speech it would be very monotone. :D

So there you have it. A week of my summer spent in Tyler at a camp. One of many weeks this year that I've been gone. Shall I sum up? Much of the early year was spent gone on debate trips, summer was split between various things like the Double H hiking trip and two week Oklahoma trip, as well as a couple other random things that I can't really recall right now.

My aspiration with this post is to be brief. Inform the public and go to bed, seeing as it's fairly late in this region of the world. F.B., I assure you I will probably type up an email for just you sometime soon. Fear not, general population, I shall return.
