It's been a "minute" since i last posted, so i thought i'd update this ol' dreary blog. To give context, i'm living in a cousin's house while they're out of town and dog sitting for them in the morning and night. During the day, i work in an office for a lawyer and his associates who include a Public Relations firm in a metropolis.
Here are some tidbits from a guy who's got some new views on life and its [sometimes] bleak surprises. The list is in no particular order and dull explanations are at the bottom for those..enthusiasts.
1. i Feel odd and forlorn looking through apparel designers websites and the strangely attractive models of the female kind.
2. If you're in an organization, or small business even, and you're trying to sell something, keep a website...please.
3. Stop tooling, fumbling, and fooling around in the kitchen and let your wife-....oh wait.
4. Find out when Mr. and Ms. are necessary..
5. When battling cantankerous bugs of the cockroach family, don't fight unarmed!
6. When in doubt, have an egg.
7. Don't let the wife know that when she's gone i can't make up my mind about which side of the bed to sleep-....oh wait.
8. So. Much. Internet. i Hope my browsing history doesn't break.
9. Unpaid work is going to teach me some valuable lessons..
10. Girlswhosmokeareattractive-girlswhosmokeareattractive-girlswhosmokeare....nope! Still no.
11. Find out when flirting is taking place and adjust accordingly. Stat.
12. Google can be completely worthless, or not.
13. Headphones can make it Real Fun.
14. If ignored, give up. A.S.A.P.
15. When i grow up, make sure to move to a spot with people, lots of.
16. And so, i join this Interesting world of people working a "9 to 5."
Descriptions:
1. One of my assignments at work is to try to build a contact list for clothing manufacturers of athletic apparel, but...i have to sift through a lot of the standard, pricey, strange clothes to find the right one. i May or may not catch myself daydreaming about buying strange clothes for this Future wife of mine and then stroll around NYC like we own it.
2. Getting extremely fed up with people who have a business, but don't keep a website or don't update the web that it's closed or anythang!!... Driving me crazy with how excited i might get and then only to find out i can't find any of their products or at least a website saying it still exists and it hasn't closed up shop.
3. "i'm so single, 12 year olds have more romantic relationships than i do.." -A.R.Y. So good. But yess, i'm trying strange concoctions in the kitchen and it's not working too well. But it's interesting! i'm learning how far i can go!..getting rice to stick to the bowl and throwing flimsy noodles at wooden cupboards.
4. Now that i'm 21, i find it difficult to still not stick to my roots of addressing elders as, "Mr./Ms." but..there's a problem when she or he is my co-worker....?
5. Somehow there are these monsters that slip into the kitchen and like to terrorize me. For some reason they are thrilled to jump out at me when i'm least expecting it and most unprepared. Do they even?! i'm always trying to do battle with them when i have nothing but my feeble appendages. Still, i remember my manners and ask, "Please, put up your dukes." Normally they're more annoyed, and win with smug expressions on their faces when they scuttle off self-assured.
6. Returning to #3, i eat eggs. A lot. Mostly soft or hard boiled as this is, "healthy?" So, if i'm hungry...i'm learning to just, have another flipping egg.
7. "i'm [still] so single, i have to hang a photo of Ryan Gosling around my neck so girls will look at me." - A.R.Y. Genius. Where i sleep is a good tale though. It's in this Queen sized bed. i Can count how many times i've slept in one..with one or two hands. SO many choices of which side!! Options are endless.
8. For my job...i have to be on the internet. A lot. So, my browsing history has never been so stinkin' packed full! At least i feel like it's full..now i'm wondering if it can get too full? We'll see.
9. Yes. It's as if i'm supposed to be a Servant in this life, or something??....mostlikely.
10. Yep. Sorry but, no. Definitely..no. While a girl swearing is not as bad, it's mighty close to her smoking..for me..
11. Welll, i just need to know. i'm terrible at guessing...it's as bad as me attempting mathematics!! So, plain awful.
12. If you know how to use that incredible tool it can be...unbelievable. For example, narrowing your search to a specific date! Quite amazing.
13. i Sometimes forget these and....all of a sudden, the day creeps by impressingly slow. These little tykes can make your day fly at the office.
14. Somehow, i'm just exceedingly exceptional at catching sight of a tremendously attractive female creature and she completely ignoring me as soon as i do. It never fails. In fact, i'm so talented at this, i think i could go for the gold if i made it an Olympic sport.
15. i Like people. i Have to be sure there are plenty of them wherever God moves me after school.
16. "9 to 5." So..entertainingly filled of an Interesting life....this sort of statement is dripping in sarcasm if you didn't know. Wow, it's certainly a lifestyle!...i just hope i'm ready for it.
17. What in the world?! Stop reading. That's all i've got.. Close this superfluous blog!

Relavant But a Dodgy Subject
Summer 2013 has finally settled in. This past year has been..whew, Something Else!!! That's..an understatement. If you don't mind i'm going to just savor this moment for a minute longer. There, i feel better. Hearts broken/mended (almost), prayers answered/unanswered (Hah, they may seem unanswered but He's got a Plan like always so it's not my problem!), and some wild dreams have occurred...(several nights ago i had the most wild one of all: i was giving youth talks about Marriage. Can you imagine? Me, just me, giving talks, supposed meaningful talks at that, on Marriage of all subjects!? Made me almost mad when i woke up. What a waste of time. As if i know about That!?!!)
Well, i'm an intern at a PR firm in NC and own a car. It feels Real....-ly like a dream. It's like i'm an adult or something....whoahh let's not get carried away. i'm still a college student, no matter how hard i try to enter the grown-up world. i Better get used to it. At least another 2 years.....(hopefully 1.5! We'll see if i can take the strain..doubtful.)
Now for a subject i've thought about here and there as i've gotten older and it's hit me in the face more and more: Pride. Phew, guys/readers, i don't know about you but that is something i just can't quite.."get in to." i Don't mean to sound Lofty, but come on. How much is necessary? True, some arrogance may be allowed for oneself when one accomplishes something Significant...possibly winning an election for President or being able to give back large sums of money to something that helped you grow as an individual but..being proud about just about anythang seems..over the top. Some people are just so Proud. i'm thinking like this because i recently overheard a peer of mine explain how her skills in music and how long she has been singing and so on. i Was so horrified, i could barely focus on my work. This far from unique individual was standing there, mouthing away about her accomplishments and how she's come a long way and how she sounds so good now..
It only gets worse when someone is so proud they do not want to lower themselves and even exchange conversation with someone they deem to be beneath them. What in the world? i Fear, they're missing It.
A while back i was waiting for some associates at a fast food drive-through to get their food and you wouldn't believe what happened. The young lady gave us the food, there wasn't a single, "Thank you..!" and because of this, it was quite awkward. No, more than that. It was, out of place and weird. It didn't make any sense for that to happen and i was, confused. Completely. This may have nothing to do with them being too proud and everything with them just being tired..but it certainly got me thinking nonetheless.
You see, when someone says, "thank you," they aren't just expressing their thanks. They're actually doing something else as well simultaneously. They're bringing themselves down and putting themselves on that same level as they are valuing the other person as well. They want to honor the other person and show that they care enough about that person to say, "i Appreciate you for doing/helping with something i couldn't do by myself unless i were to swap roles with you!" Especially if one is selling some product.
Saying "thank you" is so crucial to me not only because i was raised that way, but because of its implications. Furthermore, it can be applied to the Gospel perfectly. Why do we need to show our appreciation to God? Ahah...(Hint: the Cross and everything else He has done).. This cycles right back to me being perturbed about people being haughty.
If one thinks that highly of his/her self that much, to give so much credit to their own, it is time they re-evaluated what is vital to their lives.
