Hello blogland. I apologize for the long wait. I've just been quite a busy boy. I'll spare you all of the gory details though. Today is day 30. Which means that I only have one more day of vegetarianism. Wow. I am, however, having quite a tussle with myself as to whether or not I will stick with it. Who knows...I guess we'll find out tomorrow. I'll be sure to let you know though.
I also wanted to let you all know of something that I realized about myself the other day. It is a warning of sorts. I was talking to a couple of my good friends the other day, and the topic of relationships came up. Now, when I say 'relationships', I actually mean 'people whom you are romantically connected with'. Because I have relationships with lots of people. But I am nowhere near interested in most of them. In fact, I would that life is entirely defined by relationship. One relationship with Christ that influences all the others. But that's another discussion.
At some point in this conversation, I lamented the fact that I am probably going to be single for the rest of my life. I said this rather casually and in a borderline sarcastic manner, because I don't actually plan on this. But one of my friends said something that I've been chewing on all weekend. It was along these lines: "Well it's because you're just kind of the independent type".
I've realized that this is true. And that i don't like it. It's not only true in the 'relationship' context, but in all of my relationships as well. It feels like I don't pursue people the way that Christ did. I only let people in if they show interest in me. This is disturbing to me. Well, I'm off to work. Maybe more later. Some lyrics or something less depressing....

That is so true. I know I'm ready way old blogs, but I didn't know you had this thing so give me a break. I feel the same way about having such an independent spirit and air about myself and you're right! I only let people in when they show interest in my instead of investing in other peoples lives as Jesus did.
hmmm.
cool.
