I Dream of Missing People

I had a dream this weekend.  It kinda stuck with me. The details aren’t important at this time. But the thing that has really got me thinking is the persons involved.  Most of them were persons that  haven’t been actively in my life for a season or two.  It troubled me because these people had been on my heart for a while. That made this dream all the more so uncomfortable.  Now none of these persons have left my world because of disagreements or bad feelings. At least I don’t think so.  But it made me realize AGAIN how much I miss them. I can rant on how much I miss them because none of them will read this.

I know that life gets in the way. But it really hurts my heart to think that all the time I invested in these people and they seem to have disappeared from my life.  It makes me wonder how much value I must have in their world.  I had thought that I would have placed higher in their worlds. I mean enough to warrant a call or text or an email now and then. Most of them still live in the same town as me but can’t be bothered to drop by or invite me out for coffee.  It also hurts my heart to see them move on without me. Some of them making choices that I believe are damaging their faiths and that might have long term consequences. 

I know that the last comment might seem judgemental.  And its true that I have strong opinions on things. But that is how I see it.   Although I would be willing to let most of that stuff go (for a while), if it meant that I could be a part of their worlds more often.

But Life Gets in the Way….

One of Those Days

My laptop is still in the shop. I have loaner, but it lacks most of the stuff that makes my laptop mine. I especially miss my itunes. I subscribe to somewhere in the area of 100 podcasts and I am missing most of them. Thus making my work days longer and allows my brain to wander. And wander it does. I have some great heart to hearts with myself that threaten to spill out as to be regretted later emails or blog posts. I have found myself angry at the most random things. I miss friends that I haven’t talked to in a while and then I am miffed at them for not being around more.  My work motivation is affected. In fact I am posting this rather than moping the stage.  

It’s not my absence of my laptop that is to blame. It’s just once again I feel out of rhythm.  And need a little focus.  

All this to say I am cranky and having one of those days.

 

Well, I should get back to work, because life gets in the way.

Unwinding on a Friday night.

I have officially subscribed to more podcasts than are humanly able to listen to.  Even though most days, I have four to five hours to listen at UPS and maybe a few more at the church. I now have more coming in than there are hours in the day. So I am interested in everybody’s list of must listen casts. 

And as this blog grows, I will be adding what/ who I am listening to. I probably will include a review of some kind. Hopefully, this will help me give positive feedback to my podcast friends. I know I should actually comment directly to them on their websites. And maybe even give them an Itunes review. But since I don’t have my laptop at UPS, I usually forget individual comments per cast. And believe it or not, some of the podcast websites are blocked at the church. 

AND if this goes well, it will be included in my future podcast.  

How often this will happen depends on how much Life Gets in the Way.

Podcast in the future

Well I have picked up a new mic and headset. Not overly expensive but adequate for the first step in this experiment. I am strongly considering a podcast about my corner of the world. Not too sure of the format or content at this time. I am considering a couples cast with my wife maybe down road too. But I will probably record some ramblings and see what comes out. 

Don’t know when this will happen, because life gets in the way.

I have decided to give this a try. I think one reason i have been so attracted to the whole Web 2.0 is because the easy way to sense community. I enjoy the fact with some of the new internet social tools like Fbook and Twitter, I can interact with people all over the planet. I listen some them rant on their podcasts. Or get into on Twitter. But it is nice to feel like I am participating in their worlds. I probably have been without the sense of being part of a community here for quite awhile now. My sphere of friends that I hang out with is not a sphere but more like a dot. My busy-ness and usual lack of funds has made it hard to have a lot of free time to go and do and be.  Life gets in the way. That is what this blog and possible podcast is going to be called.  

Any way, I have to get back to work.

Hey,

This is just a test to see if I can blog and if any one is going to read it.  I want to say that life gets in the way of geekiness and what I really want to do.
