In the Light of the Dawn

Hello, world! I am sorry to have been laking in blogging on this blog over the past month or two. Between starting up another blog for my summer missions work and the work itself things have been absolutely crazy and out of control. I can honestly say that I have missed writing with this blog.

Speaking of summer missions blog, if you have been by here before you might have seen links to my summer blog. Well, if you are looking for it then you will be out of luck, because it is no longer there. I just deleted it.  It just got to the point where I started to feel like I really didn’t need that blog and I have a perfectly wonderful blog already here.  That and I felt like at that blog I should only talk about my summer missions work and there really isn’t that much to talk about on it so I have my little free-for-all blog here to turn back to.

So far the summer has been good. I’ve been at work for a month now and have come up with some really cool things.  I will go ahead and be truthful and say this hasn’t been an easy adventure for me.  I’m basically alone working here. I come to work from around 9-5 each day and then the rest of the night is just trying to figure out stuff to do. I am also living alone in a town house that is 20 minutes away that belongs to a family who is working away this summer and have to take care of a cat (it came with the house; my boss didn’t even know about the cat) and I have never taken care of cats before so that has been challenging.  It’s just been a lot of loneliness and trying to find purpose in what it is I’m doing here.  But thankfully Christ has been with me all the way and things are much better.

I have definitely had some fun trying to find stuff to do in my spare time. I’ve seen a bunch of movies. I basically work beside a cinema that shows independent films and I have just been enjoying it tremendously. I’ve always loved indy films but living in a small town we never got to see them until they came out for cheap-sale at the Hollywood Video. I’ve got to see The Brother’s Bloom & Away We Go, both of which I highly recommend. Last week I went to the bigger, more blockbuster theatre and saw Up…again, and, yes, I did go see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last night at midnight and it was amazing!  Apparently I’ve had high school friends living close by that I didn’t know about and I met up with them and some more who came up from home and we got to hang out and go see the movie.

I’ve also enjoyed going through miles of stores. I grow up in small town, US of A, so the biggest store I’ve ever lived beside is a Wal-Mart (standard, not supercenter).  I work in an area that has a bunch of different shops I like. There’s a Best Buy (I’m a tech geek. I also have stranger than mainstream music taste and so BB is good for having some of that. So much better than Wal-Mart and their mainstream Pop/Country stuff that is about to get on my last freakin’ nerve **disclaimer: I truly apologize if this last statement offends anybody. That just not my taste in music and if you enjoy it and it makes you happy, then by all means ignore my rants and call me a fool.**) as well as the biggest Barnes & Noble I’ve ever seen (It’s like heaven).

I think that’s about it for now. There is still plenty more I want to say (I’ve got a couple months of stuff stored up) but I don’t to weigh down this post. I’ll save it for some other time. I hope to get back into the swing of things here.

I hope you have a truly wonderful day,
