So it’s has been… oh-so-long since my last post. I feel like so much has happened. How am I supposed to get caught up? I don’t think it’s really possible at this point. Maybe I’ll just pretend that all from the past has been shared and today is a new day with a new blog.
Ugh, but then there is this pressure to say something profound. It’s like… ‘Jules hasn’t posted for ages, I wonder what sort of emotional realization he has come to, to bring him back to the world of blogging.’ There is no life altering statement so I think the next best option is just to say something trivial.
Sometimes I’m terrified. It’s not that I’m worried for myself, I just want others to be happy. But does exposure to the terror bring joy? I think so.
I bought a loofah
I went shopping the other day and (thanks to the bright eyes of a friend) found a formal outfit with which I am overjoyed. I just wanted something nice I could wear to church but still casual enough to not look overly severe on campus.
After picking out the outfit it was over to Bath and Body Works. I bought a loofah and body wash. It smells like cucumber melon. It is a pain to apply. Now maybe I’m just doing this wrong, so feel free to correct any misconceptions I may have about the correct bathing process.
- Place button-sized drop of wash on loofah
- Work into lather
- Thoroughly cover skin with lather-rich loofah
- Rinse
- Smell like cucumber melon
I ran into problems as soon as I got to step two. I dropped the wash on the loofah and it just kinda… disappeared. I felt like I was just running this plastic over my flesh. Where are the suds?
A jedi is >= a mutant
After months of the mundane, my fantastical dreams have returned. Last night could be considered a prime example.
I was a neutrally aligned jedi master who was facing the newest threat to the galaxy: Wyres. Wyres look like Sony robots with lots of… wires… sticking out. Anyway, I’m not sure why they were so dangerous but they were a beast to hack through with a lightsaber.
Now everyone thought that the Wyres were top contestant in the race for who will bring down the republic. As it turns out, the Wyres are weak sauce compared to the mutants. I mean, the mutants could crush the Yuuzhan Vong like roaches beneath their organic carapaces…
Anyway, things get really complex, but basically, I beat out the mutants, not with physical prowess, but social structuring. Yay for fantastical.
Feed the things that you want to grow
I was talking with my mother this past week and she made a statement that I haven’t been able to remove from my mind
Feed the things that you want to grow. Apply your time towards what you want.
I’m not quite sure why I hadn’t fully considered this before, but I think it wise advice. I need to use my time in such a way that I am moving towards the things I love. Silly life.
