Thought Blog...

So... I've got a lot of thoughts running through my mind... and I thought I'd spill a few of them onto paper (so to speak), hopefully allowing me to process what's up..

Well it's not really a lot... maybe I just feel like there's a lot going out... but I'm also standing still. Honestly sometimes I wonder if the whole world revolves around me... but then I realize that to every person, the world does indeed centre on them, because it's not possible to see things from another's eyes. You know, that might be one of the reasons that God is God... his omniscience gives him rather unique insight into other people's hearts, wouldn't you say?

I've also been thinking about my writing... and why I like to write... whether I'm good at it, if there is any purpose to this pursuit... They say that most bloggers are aspiring authors, and I suppose to a large degree that's probably right. I guess I am. I'd love to write for a living... and I honestly believe that given the right amount of expertise in a subject, a bit of coaching and a massive move of God... I'd be decent at it. Like say... if you wanted me to write an article on Starcraft... I'd be pretty decent at that... but ask me to write about the latest fashion... LOL.

What else...

Purpose, destiny... the rather crazy pace of my life... been thinking about those a lot too. My future here in HK... what I'm missing back home...the vastness of the world... the smallness of a single person... the infinity of God.

Lately there's been the changes in my social life... in the boundaries surrounding how I relate to people (namely girls :P) and the various cool people (mostly guys) who I've been privileged to meet over the last couple of weeks.

I've even been thinking about how I seem to write with more sophistication and eloquence than I talk... possibly because I have more time to think... or maybe I'm just used to it. Perhaps that's the same with everyone... because we're conditioned to speak in slang and write in full sentences (or at least I am).

Pondering loneliness too... and the hunger of the human soul for company...

*Sigh... I reckon I won't sleep tonight... I'm thinking too much. Even so... I know that I shall dream as the night continues one, fading in between a fitful consciouses and a troubled slumber; then wake up tomorrow morning and it will be as if nothing happened... like I hadn't been thinking about these things. Only this blog will give any evidence of this inner turmoil...

Am I poetic or what? :P

Update May 19th, 2008 - Status - Yellow - Mood - Good

Well, it's been a while since I've updated. Mostly because I've just been way too busy... or way too bored to write anything. Or too tired... I actually had to nap yesterday...

So today, taking a bit of a break, updating my blog, doing my clothes washing and whatever I feel like doing...

As you can see, my status is yellow, cause I'm a tad sick... though it's nothing serious... almost better. I think I got a flu, but cause I have a shot, I only got mild symptoms. Either way though, it's cool. It's getting hotter (which is a tad annoying) and the buildings are FREEZING (which means I actually NEED a jacket!?). I always wondered about that and the energy consumption... plus the cost of electricity is really high!

My mood is still good though... and things have been turn out really well here. Lots of things have been changing and it's been going really well.

Re-adjusting

Well, the past few days have been, well rather awesome! Lol

Busy as anything, well not really, just spurts of busyness... and spurts of waiting around for those bursts of frantic activity... which all seem to happen on Friday nights and Saturdays... when I should be enjoying myself... *sigh.

So what's been happening since I got back...

Well, apart from a rather annoying outbreak of acne due to the changes in humidity (and the crazy heat here) not all that much... well I take that back. A lot of stuff, but nothing of note to talk about here. Lots of staying at home, working, chatting, working on my guitar playing.

I've actually be doing lots of work since I got back, I think my pastor realized that all the things that I do really fast... aren't really things that EVERYONE can do really fast:P Which was awesomely encouraging! (Cause I didn't even realize that myself). Having said that... I had rostered myself on for Worship next week.. to give me a week to recover and practice and stuff... but suddenly I'm leading worship tomorrow... and ALL BY MYSELF!! My whole team either can't make it (away in a different country), is sick (with a sore throat), couldn't make it to practice (and don't know some of the songs) or are just too busy...

*sigh

But on the up side... and hopefully my friends back home don't take this in the wrong way at all... but going home has really allowed me to focus on doing my job here. I think I'm satisfied that no matter how long or how far I stay away... I'll always be able to go home and chill out, catch up with people... and in a couple days, return to that state... of just being awesome friends. So now I can fully concentrate on being in HK, doing all that God has called me to do... it's pretty sweet!

Let's see... I've also been doing a mother's day clip, learning some new software, gaming with some youth (and teaching them about the gift of prophecy... go figure) and getting to know some awesome people even better than I had before. So yea... it's been a good week since I got back... now I really do have 2 places that I call home...

Except for the heat... I really hate humid summers...
