Ministry, Work, Love, and Life

  Do I really have to say it ALL the time? I was so blown away this week about how, hmm, let's say distant I have been to everyone. I'm not much for excuses, so I'll just clear my head.

   First, my nieces. As much as they probably keep me from doing stuff I need to do, I don't spend much quality time with them. Most people see fit to tell me tha they're not my kids, so I shouldn't worry about it. Total crap!! Luckily, I don't see them much anymore. I had the chance to take them somewhere and play escort. Literally. They're all about the fairy tales, so my car is now a princess chariot.

   My sisters, well I missed the biggest bash of the season, apparently. Missed is an operative word. Some kind of festival in Montgomery. Really though, I miss my family. I finally talked to  my mom and dad,, who are equally happy to know that I'm not gonna live in a shelter. My oldest sister and I just, well we're different. My youngest sister is who I would be, had things gone differently growing up. I'm glad to see her happy.

   One thing that seems to run in our family is for the women to depend on the men for everything, having no identity of their own, and blindly agreeing with them on everything. I believe in love. I'm not so calloused as to think that it's impossible to agree on stuff. But on everything? Right.

   On another note, Mark asked me to watch a movie with him, which is monumental, as he never invites anyone female to do anything. He actually said the words "spend some time together" which totally weirded me out. Sometimes, it seems we are related. It's nice that we can be so close, and have no issues about the past. And yet, no chemistry. He's an awesome guy, and I'm glad there's nothing there, cuz, yeah, no. nuff said.

   I was asked what's wrong with my friends that, for the most part, they're guys and I haven't been on what I would call a date since moving here. What an odd thing to ask someone. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of my friends. Just, I guess that maybe there's not enough to hold a stronger relationship together. The last guy I was involved with was mybest friend at that time. We were friends for awhile before we actually went there, stayed together 4years, and that's it. There was really no substance to the relationship. I'm a James Lipton, and as far as I know, he's a Barbara Walters. It has nothing to do with male or female, just personality.

   And what's wrong with rushing it? If it ends, it ends. Just sooner rather than later.What does rushing it mean, anyway? I'll have to continue later, as the girls have broken out the hula hoops, and it's breakfast time.
