Another blog. I find blogs awfully strange. It's a lot like a journal, but rather than simply writing your thoughts for only yourself, you write them for everyone else too. It gets some people in a lot of trouble when they forget that. I wonder then, if a journal would not suit them better? After all, if you don't want to be judged or criticized, why write on the internet where both breed like mad? Yet, at the same time, I realize why they do it. And I realize why they sometimes forget to bite their tongue. They want to be understood. And the only way to do that is to share. They need to share their thoughts, their beliefs, their feelings. They need to do that so that they can be understood. It doesn't need to be someone they know that understands them either. Because if one understands another's feelings and thoughts, a connection is made. A connection that makes whatever the other person is feeling twice as good, or half as bad. This connection can be made face to face of course, but in this digital age of ours, it seems to get harder and harder with each passing year. We all love our families, we all have our friends. But in the end, sometimes they just don't understand. And without that understanding a vital connection is missing. Through blogging, we put ourselves out there, fishing with our souls to catch an understanding few, and connect. I'm not sure what to call that connection, or why we humans have this need. But we do need it, and it does exist. I have said in the past that I do not like to rant. That focusing on the evils and injustices that the world gives you is not healthy for the soul or mind. I still hold to that. However, I wanted to blog about my recent troubles, not to focus on them but to simply share them. By sharing, I hope to let it go, once and for all. Many of you, if you read my signature recently, know that my laptop was stolen. That was my only computer. I live with others that have computers, thank goodness. But what if I hadn't?...

This blog i think, will be a bit rambley. I don't like to rant, as I think it is rather unhealthy to dwell on the evils and injustices that may be handed to you. But I do enjoy rambling. Talking and writing about inconsequential things that just make you happy or feel good about the state of the world. It is a rare thing, to read about something good that's happened on the news or to a friend in a letter. I haven't really posted as often as I would have liked the past few weeks. I've been busy with one thing or another. Job hunting, helping my family, applying for the new semester at college, etc., etc. But you know, I'm kind of glad for that. I got to take a break from Mizahar for a while, and immerse myself elsewhere. A friend of mine joined the Marines a while back, and I've finally gotten around to writing letters with him. He's probably my best friend, and I was immensely glad to get back in touch with him. My Cousin got married, hard to believe for me, we're only five years apart. Honestly, I don't think I'm that immature,though undoubtedly some will disagree , but marriage still seems so far off. Anyway, she really did marry a great guy. So I can't be too surprised she fell in love with him so fast. Anyway, as great as those things are, I thought I'd blog mainly about something else today. My appreciation for Mizahar. You see, while I was out and about( actually still am, but its dying down as the month progresses), I didn't have a lot of time to post, but I did have a lot of time to read. And read I did. And I think I really came to appreciate all the hard work and creativity that went into this site. The founders, the players, the Storytellers, they all work together amazingly well. And while there... | [ Continued ]

I am thankful for the alarm blaring in my ear, it means I was able to awaken I am thankful for the dishes that need cleaning, it means I was able to eat I am thankful for the dirty footprints on my floor, it means I have a floor to clean I am thankful I have a boss breathing down my neck, it means I have a job I am thankful. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Yes, even you non-Americans, especially you!

Hello All, today's Blog will be rather short, as I feel as though I have only one simple message to convey. That Message is patience, and how I now feel as though I have been beaten over the head until I learned it. I realize not everyone here believes in God, but I do, and I feel like he answer's prayers in a rather humorous way. I prayed for patience, and he gave it to me. Boy, did he give it to me. My computer died on me last week, and I was forced to use my college's computer. I was forced to severely delay my response time due to this. And I had to cope with waiting in line, and slowing down my activity here. When I finally got my computer fixed, one of my thread fellows got into a bit of trouble, and unfortunately was dismissed from Mizahar. Bringing all that together, and I have been forced to wait for great amounts of time (to me). But now, I feel I undrstand that other can't post very quickly, and even though I knew that before, I feel I understand it now. heh heh, I sound like Alric with all that talk of understanding. Anyways, that's all I wanted to say, thank you for listening. |
