reach for you

I'm exhausted. I worked late Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday; Wednesday I rushed out to church right after work to set up for the weekend, and then I was at the church from Friday noonish till late Saturday night, returning early this morning to practice and all. And now I prepare for another 6 days of waking up at 6:45 and not getting home till 10:30.

The world is a cold and lonely place.

And so is my back yard. I haven't gone out there yet; too scared. The entire area is held in a constant state of suspension where it seems no movement is ever to be found again. It's as if the view outside the doors and windows has been painted over with that which is familiar, while lacking the central force and energy that once brought it to life

I lost a dear friend last night. He was one of those friends who wouldn't abandon you because of something you did or said; one of those friends who would always be there for you even if you couldn't always be there for him. He was the type of friend who would give everything he had and expect nothing in return. He was one of the few in my life to show what love really is, not only to me, but to everyone he met.

someone to tell

It's almost a week since I posted last. During this span, few things happened worthy of taking the time to sit down and write. Well there are a couple; My mom's favorite tree seems to have broken the water line bringing clean water to the house, and slowly flooding the front yard and killing the tree at the same time. Secondly, if anyone recalls the kitchen makeover we've been doing since spring (won contest), progress has been made on the upper deck, and hardwood flooring and a couple doors were purchased on Saturday. Plus, I found Ari Hest on aaron's blog. However, in regard to personal matters, I'm finding more and more that my will to write anything has greatly decreased since I began this new employment venture. One of my most frequently concluded reasons for this is my lack of time and mental energy to let my mind think.

I've never cried so much during a single episode of any tv series as I did tonight during Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, with the Vardon family. If you didn't see it, you missed out, because the content on the website doesn't do it any justice at all.

"If one of you wants to be great, you must be the servant of the rest; and if one of you wants to be first, you must be the slave of all." - Mark 10:43,44

I do my best, but the son in that family beats me flat out.

It's the weekend already. I like how time goes by so much faster now that I'm in a neutral environment for the majority of every day. Without distinguishable daylight, there's no internal/environmental clock to deal with. Sitting at a desk for 8 to 12 hours a day makes each new day virtually indistinguishable from the last: By the time the weekend comes, one remarks, "really?"

For those of you who still use Internet Explorer, you would have noticed that a couple weeks ago I updated the site so it displays properly for you. I also fixed a little problem for Mozilla users. I'm nice like that.

Just you wait until polling stations are a thing of the past. The future is wireless sms voting! Or not.

I feel so compelled to offer some level of insight or opinion on the US election, but I know that almost everyone feels very strongly for one party and against another, and all who support it. There was a documentary on the CBC the other day that discussed how far this election has seperated the American people. They likened it to a level of segregation based on political affiliation; where entire towns would think, act, and be exactly alike; where any alien is considered utterly wrong and requires 'education' or expulsion.
