Distracted Blues

Distractions Galore!

another randomnotes day.

3 reminders:
1. i enjoy writing as characters. as a result, what you read may not necessarily reflect my actual state, life, and personal thoughts, but those written fictionally as someone else. the degree to which fictional writing is influenced by something personal varies, obviously. what i posted a few days ago is actually going to fit into a new story i hope to write (and have worked on elsewhere).
2. that floor doesn't vacuum itself!
of course, when i did try to vacuum it, my the vacuum cleaner went spazzo. hopefully it will have recovered by this evening as carpets around the house could really use a good cleaning.
3. the revolution will not be televised.

i'm not sure why, but i enjoy burger king's coffee. it's not really that good, but it beats the coffee here at work by a long shot.

Father Stephen is a great great man. he's very much a spiritual father to me and under his tutelage i am learning and growing much.
i do want to at some point experience more of the Eastern experience but where i'm at (Western Rite), i'm just learning to be Orthodox and BE within what i am...the rest will fall in place as i'm directed. i will say that last night, i got to spend some time with some people from another Orthodox church (this one being Eastern) and we had such a great time. Fr. Stephen and his wife were there for a while at the fundraiser and then after that, i went and hung out with a few people all probably mid-20's and it was just...great. while i'm pretty socially backwards, i felt comfortable around them really pretty early on. there's just something really wonderful about getting to spend time with people and getting to know them within a context of knowing there's a pretty similar belief system...that's part of why i miss walker and jeff immensely. hopefully i'm beginning to make some friends here.

i feel as if maybe some creativity is on the way back.
i really need to write a new View Past Light. i've been so dry in regards to writing about things in that vein. i'm learning so much and on one hand, i don't know where to begin. on another hand, i feel as if i have so much more to learn that i really don't really have qualifications to do writing about spirituality myself. for some reason, i feel as if i want to write about the Russian pilgrim from The Way of the Pilgrim, but i have no idea what specifically.

in other developments...i have a pretty huge crush right now.

one last quick update:
as busy as i am, everything i'm busy with is going quite well, thank you.

it's lunchtime.
