A checkup.
I’ve been meaning to get on here and write for a while, but even now that I’m here I don’t exactly know what to write about.
I guess a good place to start is with the Wii–thats right I’ve finally reentered the world of console gaming. Now, PC gaming will always be superior, don’t get me wrong, but the Wii is crazy fun. My mom was ever so gracious as to buy the Wii for me, and frankly I think its a great investment. I mean seriously, when is it not fun to swing your arms around like an idiot in front of the tv? Even my mom couldn’t deny it. After she tore me apart in a game of Wii bowling(yes I suck in real life and on the game). She conceded it was a lot of fun. Also, Super Smash Brothers Brawl is a crazy awesome game. So far I’ve beaten the single player mode, and I’ve beaten 33 or 41 events. Its another one of those games that isn’t anything spectacular, its just fun. I think people get so lost in “innovation” they forget how to have fun when they play a game. You can only, “oooo” and “ahhhh” for so long, and once thats over you find yourself with a really boring game.
Monday Ovie, Ben and I had a meeting, and it was nice to get together and just talk about our dreams. I also got the chance to hear some things about myself I hadn’t heard before, and those words are appreciated. There are so many things we want to do, but for whatever reason we haven’t been able to. I like that we’re looking back to the basics again. As a whole we like to make things complicated. I’m honestly starting to think we do that simply to distract ourselves from the simple truths we don’t like to acknowledge. A lot of things that are “gray” aren’t really all that gray, we’re just comfortable with leaving it that way.
I guess the only thing I can say is pray that I get some direction. I’m not the best at listening to God, but I’d really like to know what I should be doing. Work is probably the biggest thing. Theres nothing particularly wrong with my job, in fact, the couple of weeks have been really smooth. The longer I work there, though the less and less I feel like I’m in the right place. Maybe I’m just antsy I don’t know, but I wish I was doing more with my life…problem isn’t I haven’t the foggiest idea what I should, or want to do.
I realize now one of the things that gives me great joy. I’ve been thinking over things I like and love, but in the end I think helping people through things really brings me great joy. To see the weight lifted off someone, or to see that moment of revelation when the answers become clear is a great thing to me. I don’t particularly see myself going into counseling, but thats ok. I’d just like to think that one day I’ll truly make a difference for someone.
