Because there really are bed bugs

I’m so not tired, I’m trying to come up with reasons to stay away from my pillow… sad times… So, I’ve started going to a Bible study at a higher education facility in my county. It’s pretty chill. 300 Asians and 8 white people cram into a room in the art center for amazing worship. From the name tag greeter people to the music to the preaching, it’s an awesome place to spend my Friday nights. Better than being alone at home watching MacGyver reruns. MUCH better. I bought my first tree on Saturday. It’s a money tree. And no, it’s not the kind with dollar bills pinned to a paper concoction, it’s a real living growing plant that has taken up residence, where else? In my accounting office. The boss says since I keep writing checks, now I’ll have a way to replenish the bank account. Too bad it doesn’t work like that bro… And if you don’t know anything about agriculture (or you haven’t been to Ikea in a while) here’s what I’m talking about. OK, enough sociability for this year… good night

Over a year...

...since my last post.  I don't think I have much to say either.

I moved far away from everyone. I'm still employed. I got my Accounting Associate's degree. My brother lost his first tooth.  I bought a motorcycle. I sold the motorcycle and got a car. I went to Hong Kong. I came back. I moved closer to everyone.  I saw snow in So Cal. I got sick. I got better.

I'm alive.

(in case there were doubts)

vent

I’ve got a question/thought for you: Who do you vent to? Your best friend? Your mom/dad/spouse? I figured out (just this morning) that my vent is a coworker that I hardly ever talk to, but every time I do, just the way he asks how things are going in my life, I feel like I have to tell him all my woes. Usually I feel pretty good after our conversations too, like it was a relief to get out there how much I hate my Algebra class, or the fact that trying to figure out my schedule is harder than juggling army tanks. Seriously, this guy should be a counselor. :) FYI: My class blog project hasn’t started yet so that’s why I haven’t posted, though now I have so you can’t yell at me too loudly anymore.

hmm...

 Thinking is the quickest route to destruction
 for thinking leads to realization
 and realization can shatter the soul

"Do not dwell on the past."  This is sound advice from my history professor and I suggest you listen.  I didn't and now I'm hurting.  Don't think about the atrocities that children experienced in My Lai during the war in Vietnam.  Don't think about how the Nazis treated the Jews in concentration camps, sorting their clothes, stockpiling shoes, heaping naked bodies outside.  Don't think about all the millions of people who have died without knowing Christ.  It might destroy you.

In case you haven't heard...

Obama is our new president. I don't know if I am exactly scared or worried by this but I am a bit apprehensive. To me, Obama comes across as being a bit too cool, a bit too likable, a bit too good to be true. I am not against having a black president. I am not against having a young president. But I do not agree with much of what democrats stand for. He wants to change things. I like changing some things, but I don't look forward to higher taxes and legalized abortions. I oppose homosexual marriage. I support the war in Iraq. There are things that I think should not be changed. The next four years should be an interesting trial for all Christians, Republicans and conservatives. I would love to know your thoughts on this event.
