| Alas, i do believe the time has come for me and Brandy to part ways (xanga-wise only). We are both engaged, we are roughly 800 miles apart some of the year and 200 miles apart other times of the year. I will be writing on my new site....more than i have on this one over the summer. Mainly due to the fact that School inspires me to some rather weird/deep/not deep/unsure thoughts. So...please read it...if you don't read it i will stop writing. Oh and please subscribe too because i don't feel like hunting you all down but i do feel like reading about whatever it is you are doing. Aight...Brandy man...it's been fun. And i promise i'm going tomorrow to get measured and call them in for my tux.
The new Xanga is MuseFluid. http://www.xanga.com/MuseFluid I think it has at least three meanings and counting...so i'm not gonna type them all up here. So....for the last time...Zoolander...signing off.

| Lem: I still haven't settled. I realized it the other day when I was at the send house. I guess it was night. I slept in "my bed" and it felt really familiar and normal. But then I came back to my bed at college and felt even more normal. Last time I was home it took me two nights just to get used to my bed again. I hate that.
My girl is in the Dominican Republic and we are going a week without speaking to each other. That sounds bad but really, it's the distance. I can't believe I did a year of this. Out of control. That is why I am watching LOTR; I can't seem to get used to her being "gone" again. It's harder this time. It has made me realize that I'm really a pansy deep down inside. I sleep when I feel that life is out of my control. I just ignore it and go to bed. That's terrible. I guess there are worse things I could do but, seriously, it's rather pathetic. When I can't sleep I watch a movie. Lord of the Rings to be precise. The thing that really irritates me is that I don't know what to do about. I'm getting my work done, I'm working (like for money) another nine hours a week, but I don't know. I'm not too certain it's healthy.

| Lem: I need money. Which is not news. But I obtained this job with Matt and Chris, and this post is in no way meant to intrude on their beliefs or values. It is here to speculate on mine. The job was putting up flyers. A shady man pays 10 cents for every flyer you put on people's doors. Not a bad gig in the city. If you walk fast and stick those suckers on in a hurry you can make around 12 dollars an hour.
It was saturday. It was cold. It was moist and looked like it might rain. Shady Man counts out the flyers and hands them to us. I read it. In short, it was a scam to take the houses of very poor people. No banks. No middle men. Nobody to keep Shady Man's boss accountable. And all it promised was that the person who actually sold their house would be out of debt with money in their pocket. It did not tell them that they would not have a house. Nor that they were going to get ripped off.
I am big on social justice. I talk about it all the time. To be fair, I rant. I get mad at people who claim they are Christian and do nothing for poor people. I tell them I don't like them. That they annoy me. I think a lot about those verses in matthew where the righteous and unrighteous get separated. I read an article that said that passage was translated wrong. The guy said that the verse should be translated "the just" and the "unjust." Which just added fuel to my social justice ranting. Yeah, that sounds good. The just. I am just. Right??
I put up those flyers. I put up a ton of them. I made good money. It helped me go on a date with my girlfriend. You should have seen me. I was fast, I was quick, I was making money. I sold myself for forty bucks. I sold what I stood for for forty bucks. And by doing that I proved something. I proved that I didn't stand for it at all. I proved that all my talk was just empty words that made me feel better about myself. As soon as it was better for me I sent social justice to hell because Shady Man gave me forty dollars to do so.
This life is about what I believe. I will either get into Heaven or get sent to Hell because of what I do or do not believe. "Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." What I say I believe means nothing. What cause I say I stand for means nothing. What I say I believe is not what I believe.
What I believe is what I do. Is that not the scariest thought ever??

| Brandon: Wow! I can't believe how much time has passed since I last updated. It's even harder to believe how time seems to go faster the older you get. Life is going really well. A lot of things have changed for me since I last updated. The biggest and most exciting one is that Monica and I are now engaged.  It happened the second weekend in January. So we have been busy with wedding plans and all the fun stuff that comes with getting married. I have also moved out of Hartville for the time being. I moved to IN and got a job now and am planning on working here for a little while. Work was so slow at home and I had a job opportunity out here so I took it. On top of that I get to live like 10 minutes away from my beautiful, amazing fiance. Pretty freakin excited about that. I guess that is about all that has changed by those to are pretty major things in my life right now. It is really weird to be living away from home again, but I can't say that it has been awful. It is weird to be on my own again. To have to go buy my own lunch stuff and pack my own lunch and all that fun stuff. It has been teaching me lot's more responsibility, which is a good thing. I was reading my dear friend parla's update and it pretty much summed up the way that I have been feeling spiritually. God has seemed to be very distant, but I continue to hear Him say, "seek and you will find." It's the struggle to continue seeking even when I don't see or feel anything happening that has been really rough for me the last few weeks. The more I seem to seek though, the more He seems to reveal Himself to me. That's all that he wants from us. He wants us to seek His face at all times. Good, bad, or mediocre. It doesn't matter to Him. That is what I want. I want to through myself at His feet at all times. No matter how hard things may be at the time. Now that I have been thinking more about getting married and being a husband, it seems to put a lot of the so called 'important' stuff into perspective. I've had to think about what I want spiritually for my wife and I. How I'm going to accomplish that, and to be completely honest with you, it scares the crap out of me. I'm scared of being a failure, of letting her down, and not being the spiritual leader I need to be. I just need to continue to throw myself at the foot of the cross and to seek his face daily. Until next time Peace, Love and Coffee!!! | | |
