bored and ignored

Is it crazy to think I'm the only person who thinks about me? No one has done something nice for me unexpectedly in a long time. No one goes out of their way to even talk to me. I think I'm probably wrong. I have to be. Not only that, I must be pretty selfish.

I'm thinking this way because I'm so completely bored, and will be for a while. I can feel it. I'm feeling like my usual approach hasn't been as effective as I thought it would be. Thinking optimistically isn't working.

I am Spongebob.

I've been watching a lot of Spongebob lately... yeah. I also have lately been feeling pretty negative about a lot of things. I was(am) tired, unsure of where I stand in my peer group, and rather stressed about everything that needs to be done in the coming weeks. I was kinda depressed.
So, I was watching Spongebob and came across my new favorite episode. It features Spongebob being an oblivious pushover just happy to make people happy and Plankton trying to teach him to be more "assertive." I thought "My gosh. I'm Spongebob."
Crazy, I know. I won't go into details, but I found a completely unexpected identification with the sea sponge.
I too have been wanting to be more assertive. So, I found myself paying much more attention to this particular episode. I watched Spongebob(myself) turn into a maniacal bully, without out him(me) even knowing it. Yep. Sounds like me. No sense of proportion. Where is the balance between assertiveness and meekness? CONUNDRUM!

Elysse: "Life is like a milkshake. Sometimes you ask for strawberry, but you're given chocolate, and then you realize you wanted chocolate all along."
Ezra: "The moral of the story is; never let a Mexican make your milkshake"

so, some pictures

My computer is acting like an idiot. Sometimes I wish it would just grow up. Anyway, until I get my pictures back(I'm starting to worry I never will)I cannot provide the documentation of Virginia Beach I promised. I have a few... meaning these two. I hope they are to your liking.

who can say it's true that truth is relative?

I thought about truth today. Have you ever heard "truth is relative?" Even if I ignore how paradoxical it is, I can't get over how sad the thought is. Truth is constant and unchanging by definition. So, if truth is relative, it would mean there is no truth. Only what an individual decides is "true." Therefore, leaving us to our own devices. Fortunately, truth is truth, God is God, and we are not alone.

All is well.
