Meanwhile, Back on the Blog...

So, not much has been happening around the highlands of late. Things are pretty calm. Been writing a little, not as much as I should like. I'm on Facebook now. Tis interesting. Anyhow, now for the random thoughts:

I don't seem to be thinking of anything. My focus seems off these days. Well, I have a focus, what I mean to say is I seem to be listless. It's all a stage no doubt. But what can you do about it? Nothing. You just have to wait it out. The more I live, the more I find that spiritual battlegrounds are mostly sieges and trench warfare. Ooh, cool metaphor. Well, I better go to bed, I suppose. God help me. And always remember:

Life is good, even when it's not, as long as you've got God!

Help!

Well, I saw the movie Help. It's a Beatles movie. It was really funny. I thought it was quite a bit like an early form of Monty Python. Very off the wall. Yeah. So, shall I digress?

My new book is coming along well. I'm nearly a third done with it. Course, it's not going to be a terribly long book, but that's fine with me. I'm gonna go get half a sugar cookie. Excuse me a moment. 'gets up' 'comes back in 3 minutes, having devoured a tasty soft soft sugar cookie, parts of which are lodged in his braces' Sorry, that last description was a bit less nice that I would have like. But I'm sure you know what I did. Anyhow, I really haven't got anything else to say. KAILI!

Remember...
Life is good, even when it's not!

Because I Felt Like it

I'm making this post because I feel like posting. Not that I have anything in particular to say. But I thought that I ought to update this spot. Why do I rhyme when I can't think of anything? Probably because it's easy. On a deeper note, I think that many of us prefer to revert to what we do best when we don't know what we're doing. Of course, in actuality, (or at least for me), I don't know what I'm doing most of the time. I mean, I know what I'm doing but not what will come of it. It's at times like that that I remember God has a plan and a purpose to everything. And then, it doesn't matter so much that I don't know where my path leads. I'm cool wherever I go. As it was once so eloquently put:

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love,
Love is all you need.

And God=Love. Therefore, all you need is God. End of story.

Just Some Sagey Blathering

Well, thought I'd make a post, even though everything on my mind now is too deep and long to explain in a post. If you want to know about these deep thoughts, talk to me, or give me a call. Anyhoo...

Obviously I still haven't said anything particularly interesting as yet, which in this case means I have no post as yet. Though the point could be argued. But alas, I have not a one to argue with, and I'm afraid my studies in rhetoric are insufficient, nay, non-existent. Ooh, a rhyme. I like to speak in verse. Some say it's a curse. But I always say to them: "Be glad it isn't worse." wow. That was either madness, or brilliance. We are men of Action, lies do not deceive us. Let your sword do the talking! I will, it shall be loquacious to a fault. Ladies and gentlemen, you've been a wonderful audience, we've decided it's a draw. GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!!

A Short Elaboration on my Philosophy of Communication

I believe that communication in modern America has gone into a downward spiral in the past 15 years or so. The main reason is that do to the sheer amount of communication, the constant connectivity, the act of communication in and of itself has been rendered totally impersonal. Now don't get me wrong, cell phones and email are very useful, but they should not be used as the basis of creating relationships. They are merely tools for upkeeping one, or for sharing facts(like the homework assignment, dates of events, etc.). I believe that a truly healthy relationship must be formed through personal contact, if it is to survive when contact is not available. I think that if the all the cell phones and Internet went down for two months, at least of the relationships(And I don't mean romantic, just relationships in general) of the youth of America would collapse. In essence, I think that to forge and maintain a meaningful relationship with someone, you need to see them. Not to mention the added dimensions communication takes on(tone, body language, expression) when people are physically in the same place. In brief I think that as a society we are forgetting how to create meaningful relationships, and the worst is yet to come. Sadly, it's only a symptom of the fact that the love of Christ is not in every one's lives, which is the basis for all real relationships. And that's what I think about modern communication.(I really only hit the tip of the iceberg. I'm definitely going to work this out in further detail now, and write an essay.)
