so i decided to write something today. since it's new year's eve, i'll write about that. and i'll also write about something else.
first, the something else. "so, what do you want to do?" i really don't care what we do.
from Good Will Hunting:
Skylar: Maybe we could go out for coffee sometime?
Will: Great, or maybe we could go somewhere and just eat a bunch of caramels.
Skylar: What?
Will: When you think about it, it's just as arbitrary as drinking coffee.
and so often we find things to entertain ourselves and occupy our time. when hanging out the focus should be on your friends. but so often it seems that we hang out just to not be alone. i'm sure many people in our society know what it feels like to be alone in a crowded room.
and this has become spiritual for me. sadly, i admit, this is where i am spiritually. i find ways to occupy my time so that i dont have to sit face-to-face (one-on-one) with God. how did this happen? i think it was just a gradual process of neglect. first, maybe i became too busy. then, the busyness faded and i got bored. and instead of curing it with my creator, i wasted time with other things. well, enough of that!
and on to The Big Midnight. sometimes i feel like i'm an alien. i think that's a good thing. what's the big deal with january first? everyone knows that the year really starts on april 1. spring, new beginnings. what kind of year starts in the middle of winter?
i guess resolutions are a good thing. but how about them monthly, weekly, daily resolutions. those are the ones that stick.
