Musing

I just finished reading an excellent book called Blue Like Jazz. I say it is excellent because it is a book with very honest comments and stories from Donald Miller's life. Since starting reading it I have been finding myself increasingly wanting to be a deep person. Whatever that means.

Part of my feelings may stem from the fact that life has not really turned out how I pictured it should and I continue to see lots of perceived injustice around me.
My church needs change, something awful I think. Making a career out of music just was not practical for me last year and, unfortunately, maybe it never will.

Managing time also seems to be a problem of mine too. I'm always busy.
Too busy sometimes... but things are getting better.

But for any of my friends and aquaintances who used to talk to me, I am sorry I have not kept in touch. I am sorry I have become a recluse and somehow destroyed communication lines. I will be trying to communicate with some of you in the near future and not for any purpose other than to ask you how you are doing.

Man of the Year

Last night my wife and I went out to see a movie. That was exciting in itself but the movie we went to see was "Man of the Year" and it was fairly well done. I was really moved by the main character's motives and thoughts. Honesty and ethics were really the main point being made in the film and I really thought the main character embodied what an honest should look like. More and more I am realizing that we need that honesty in our society.

Overall good film. It has excellent timing with the voting that will be happening in the USA in the next month.
