You know back in the day I used to be a fairly regular blogger. I don't really know what happened but somewhere along the way I lost track of it all. Maybe my schedule got busier, maybe I got lazier, maybe the world started spinning faster. Who knows really? It could be a million things or just one. But after the summer I have had thus far, and the year that is coming up I feel that I should begin again.
I've made a lot of changes in my life - and attempted to document them in a personal journal and that has turned out tragically. Why I think this will be any different, once again I do not know. But I do find something comforting about having my thoughts out there for someone to read and possibly learn from or be challenged by or perhaps even draw comfort from. That and it's always better to get some thoughts outside of your own head - sometimes they make more sense afterwards.
But back to the changes I've made in my life. I just finished college. Note that I did not say graduated - but finished. That is because I did not infact gradute. Which I'm oddly ok with. You'd think after 6 years, thousand of dollars and I don't even what to know how many hours with no degree I'd be a little more pissed than I am. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I know I will one day complete the degree. It's only 2 classes - one of which I have to retake to be allowed to take the second class. Well that's not quite true. I still need to deal with the foreign language thing - but that's not really a big deal. But now that I'm done with good ole SUNY Oneonta - I've moved off to the land I affectionately call 'The Buff' (aka Buffalo). I had never been there...aside from the 36 hour visit a few weeks prior to the actual move...and I knew basically one family. The woman who had opened her home to me I had maybe an hour long conversation before I actually moved in. Loking back it all seems so........well, crazy. It was clearly one of those moments where God was practically drop kicking me into life. I wasn't happy about and sure I was given a choice because I have free will, but why bother fighting the guy who knows how many hairs I have on my head? So off I went to intern for a band.
Relevant Worship. That would be the band who is in the process of changing my life. That may seem a bit dramatic - but some would say that I am a dramatic individual. In all seriousness - it is because of this band that I am staying in Buffalo, that I am 'working' in the music industry, that I feel at home in a completely foreign city, and that I can honestly say I do have friends out here. They helped me through a very rough time for me emotionally, and spiritually without even knowing it. And they most likely will never know what they have done for me - especially since I can't quite explain it.
So - currently the job and apartment search are on! WOOHOO!!!! Except I think I might have found a apartment...we'll know for sure next week. But next week also happens to be Kingdom Bound. A massive - well not massive, but very large christian music festival that Relevant is playing at. 4 days o' fun n' music at Darien Lake kiddies. It's sure to be a good time and I for one am looking forward to it. Especially since I have never been to KB before. Shocking I know - in all the years that I've been around I have never actually been there.
Ok random sidenote....I just finished watching Season 10 of Stargate (aka the final season). Now I am about the let the nerd flag fly so be prepared..... I've been watching this show faithfully for about 5 years now seeing as how I did not have HBO when the series began. I have all 10 seasons on DVD (as well as the 2 available seasons of Stargate Atlantis), I own the original movie, and plan on buy the 2 movies that will be following on DVD in the coming months. I have loved this show from the first episode I watch at some ridiculous hour on a channel that my TV antenna barely picked up (It was the Last Stand if you're wondering). I've always been amazed at how much a television show can matter to a person. I know it's ridiculous how much I care about these fictional characters, but I can't seem to shake the feeling that somewhere these people exist. Crazy talk I know - but they have been alive in the hearts and minds of the writers and actors and viewers for 10 years now...how can they not mean something to someone. I have learned so much from this show - I now understand theoretical asterophysics. lol. But on the odd chance that someone from the show, whether it be crew or cast, THANK YOU for ten wonderful years and hopefully years of fantastic movies.
Well I have been rambling for a while now and I can't tell you everything about myself because then what would be the point of ever making another entry. All questions and comments are welcome. I look forward to keeping this sucker up....I sure hope I can do it.
