New Inspiration

For the past few months, I have been struggling with a theme for this blog.  About once a week, I sit down at my computer and visit all of my favorite blogs: some of them thriving with comments and views, others thriving with helpful insight and new ideas, and some both.  But my blog is none of that.  My computer, however, is a different story.  I read a lot and I write a lot, and regardless if it’s worth listening to, I always find something to say.
The problem is, I simply don’t know how to put all of these things into perspective.  By “things” I mean entries about everything from taking advantage to Christian single-hood to this awkward thing that happens with strangers called the…well, maybe you’ll just get to read the post someday.  Last night was one that night of the week, where I sat down and read for a few hours and the end of it all, I had no output.  So many things to say, but so unsure of how
In short, I need some new inspiration because apparently my old method of inspiration isn’t getting me very far.

a few things to forget

Add a bucket of water to the ocean just to

watch it go again

turning into rain found on porch steps of

suburban American homes because

little children feel that's where they belong:

standing at a mountain's footstep because

to them, there's a top—somewhere. 

Please remember this tonight in the

silhouettes of power lines and in the

birds circling the setting September sun because

the best memories are the ones you will

forget; leaving them on the rusted bleachers that

line your little league baseball field. 

I wonder where Tomorrow will take you

when she leads you off the Ferris wheel and

away from the county fair, where you will

never see the world the same again. 

Tell me, what was that you said,

as you dragged a stuffed dinosaur by his neck around the park?

Tell me if there was anything more than a

first grader crying,

"I want to go home." 

what you have is plastic

...burned your pockets and everything that's in it

If you don't know about these notebooks, you most definitely should. I really can't remember what person first told me about these "legendary notebooks" but it was certainly while I was in college and since then, I have been hooked. I got three really nice ones from my parents on my birthday. One of them is pictured here.

08 February 2010 - I was determined to have a good day today. Though I had a lot before me, I forced myself to get out of bed early, turn on some music, and make myself some breakfast. It's amazing how if I neglect essential things in the morning, it has an affect on the entire day. I don't say that selfishly, I just want to reach my full potential--everyday. No more settling for less.

Amidst this muse, I actually managed to take my 365 before 11PM. Go me!

07 February 2010 - Too many long days. Sundays are usually pretty busy, but this Sunday was particularly busy. I enjoyed church today, I also enjoyed lunch/dinner after. Saints vs. Colts was entertaining but as a Colts fan, I was unimpressed with the lack of effort at the end of the game. Anyhow, I am beyond exhausted and I will probably end up waiting until tomorrow to upload this.

06 February 2010 - Dual Emotion: Intense stress but overwhelming happiness at the same time--how can it be?

Spent a great portion of the day hunched over the computer writing my personal statement for grad school applications, applying for a job, and doing other work..fortunately I had Patrick there with me who was also studying. It's nice having him around. Anyhow, the time is now 11:52 PM and I am drained. I am glad for sleep, but upset that I still have an enormous amount of work to do. Oh well..it will have to wait for Monday. As of right now, I am going to sleep. Go Colts!

05 February 2010 - Long night! First birthday party I have had in 7 years. I have never been a party person but this year, I chose to give it a shot. It was quite enjoyable, I must say, not as near as stressful as I thought it would be. If you were there and are reading this, I cannot thank you enough for coming. That was a truly great experience.
