The Train Wreck

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

Define: Blog - “A frequently updated journal or diary”

Sometimes I forget why I started a blog. I just remembered why a few moments ago. I just finished watching a really not that emotional movie but it kind of triggered a train wreck. You know that feeling of when you have been holding things back for so long and then when one small thing happens it just comes out. Sometimes this happens at bad, inopportune times and sometimes its just a silly Adam Sandler movie on tv. Well, I was sitting there and when the movie ended it just all came out. It was… for lack of a better word, real. I am now sick to my stomach and I feel like a train just hit me. It’s amazing how life changes. A friend reminded me recently of the role God plays in our lives if we let him. Well… Lord here I am. Show me your path, show me whats next.

So I have been at home for the holidays and with it came some free time. I put it to good use by finishing up Sugarhill’s new online store. It went live two days ago and has been drawing lots of attention. With it came a small update to the website as well. Keep an eye on Sugarhill’s site and store as there will be periodic updates. So go take a look and help me out and buy something!

Waking Up and Wishing

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

I woke up this morning, after a dream filled nights sleep, completely restless. My apartment smells like bacon and Mike is gone. I performed my normal morning pattern of email, facebook, and scanning the news. I got up to wander around my apartment and stopped to look out my kitchen window. It’s a beautiful fall day. The tree outside my window has lost most of its leaves as the wind blows them around on the ground. I watched the mail man as he put the mail in my buildings boxes. As he finished, I realized that my restlessness was due in part to my desire for something to happen. I would be happy with anything really. I think I have been living like this for a few weeks now. Living each moment hoping something will happen in the next. Something exciting. Something worth being happy for. I suppose this moment is coming to an end. I hope something happens in the next…
