Nothing new of significance to post, I'm just feeling pretty blah in general. Tired of trying to make a big deal of things, finding the Big Meaning in things. Work's been stressful, adding to things.
One of things that attracted me to my church family some 16 1/2 years ago was that they took their Christianity seriously. What I mean is they lived it and it was the most important thing in their lives. Maybe it's just my mood (and my tendency to over analyze things, right Paul, BEG?), but I've grown tired of looking for the big issue, the important concept and the deep meaning. Is that what Christianity is about, the constant search of the the "real" truth?
Rhetorical question, I guess. I suspect the answer is both yes and no. At anyrate, I'm tired of the digging, so nothing deep for now. Maybe more posts on car parts.
Similar apathy and exhaustion have led to the recent lack of posts on my blog. I just wanted to live and work for awhile, and stop the constant analysis. My solution was to stop blogging altogether and immerse myself if meaningless computer geek stuff, building a new system in my free time, what little there is of it. It's been a good break, and I'm starting to come out of the blue funk and ask deeper questions again.
So my advice would be: embrace this "moping" for a time, and it will run its course. Nothing wrong with car parts posts, BTW!
I'm with you, Doug. I turned off my computer at home and it has helped a great deal. So has the fact that my wife is home.
In any case, I truly believe that no one was created to be intense all the time. This is something my wife reminds me of all the time.
Enjoy the car parts. I plan on posting more of my fantasy writing and/or Linux stuff.
Thanks for the encouragement guys. It's a little ironic, isn't it, that the three of us are feeling this at the same time? And we all siink back into our geekiness - Linux, fantasy writing, cars, MoveableType tweaks, homebuilt PC's. Heh.
BTW:
Pinakidion - Your comments are broken. I tried to leave two on your 'Need Prayers' post and neither went through.
Virusdoc - One of the side effects from your spam lockdown is that all of your posts are now old enough that they don't accept comments. I tried to leave a 'hoping you come back soon' comment for you last night too. :-)
Thanks for the comments heads-up. I'll correct that with a post tonight.
Take a sabatical.
How bout a retreat?
Maybe to the promised land...:)
I just emailed you and said I wanted to wright something deep to feel good about myself but I just sounded stupid.
Maybe it's gas prices or feral cats, I can't decide.
Thanks for the thoughts. I'll check on the comments. I had something that couldn't deal with trackback spam.
Now it appears that my solution allows no comments.
I'll see what I can do. Thanks for letting me know.
Meanwhile, enjoy your cars!
Feral cats?!? I'll have two of whatever she's drinking!
Oops...that's BEG, not PEG. Two of whatever he/she is drinking. [blushes]
