Awestruck by the resounding silence

HMMM.....
I'ts awful quiet over here.
By the way, the previous post was not a joke. Unless it's on me, because I am getting organized.
Let's see... this is going to be the first of three Sundays in a row playing in the worship band. This makes me happy. If a little tired.
Going to start the hunt for a new apartment today, the roommate and I are tired of living in this building, and want something where the neighbors are less...erratic. If possible, I would also like to find a cheaper place(we'll see).
Life seems to be getting into pretty good shape. For now. What on earth happened to being doomed?
Oh, well.


2 hours later...
Now I know what happened to being doomed. My car had a ball joint break on it. On the way to lookin at the apartment. So now I get to owe my roommate even more. Yee-haw.

Getting organized

Now, if you know me, this might sound like a joke. In fact, I'm not entirely sure it isn't. But, the fact is, that something snapped in me recently. In a good way. Really. I've been cleaning the apartment a bit at a time, got my car cleaned out and cleaned up, even vacuumed. Unfortunately, I still have the disorganization in the liveing room and my bedroom. Drives me a little nuts, it does. Crazy, huh? Oh, I even got myself a planner and a trunk organizer. The planner, well we'll see how that goes.

Also, my creativity's been flowing as well. I managed to write words to a tune I've had on mando for a while, and written two other poems, one of which I sent to a magazine. Sorry, can't publish it here. Yet. First publication rights and all, so I won't flub that up. Got some other ideas going, so we'll see.

Life, edited for your viewing pleasure... and a church rant

That's what we want, isn't it? To be able to get rid of the parts of life we dont want the world to see? Our dark secrets, our fears, failings, humiliations, all gone?
Thus is the power of the blog.
I'm going to assume no recent readers, since I haven't had any recent comments. But, so everyone knows, this blog has been edited. Some. I won't deny I was having a bad patch, and may yet have a worse one. But I no longer wanted to write everything I'd written, so I unwrote it.
I don't feel different. But maybe someone won't see some things I wrote stupidly. It's like speaking, only some things can actually be unsaid if the readers only come once in a while.

Or not at all.

But Real Life isn't that way. No, life is unedited, ongoing, and raw, but without complete coverage. You can never see all the sides of an event. Or a personal struggle. I edited this in the hopes that it might prevent me from making a Large mistake out there.

Church Rant:
Why does the church ignore single men? There is great support for single women, but single men get the shaft. At men's events, the focus is on (mostly) being a better father or husband, biblically. But I haven't seen or heard much for single men. In fact the only single author in the Bible I can think of is Paul. I also can't recall any specific promises or challenges God has for single men. Are we unwanted, undesirable, second class believers? What is it? And Why?
