224-Gotta Say, I'm a Little Confuzzled...

Upon a reheat of my coffee, I heard a loud *POP* and opened the door to the microwave to find coffee dripping from the ceiling of said appliance...random.

I have done just about nothing today. No, really. I took a rest day. A real Sabbath. Which for me is just about unheard of. I don't know what I think of it, because I mostly just felt tired. I took a nap, read a bunch, cleaned my desk out, listened to the music I wanted to listen to (my roommate is out of town,) and basically just thought about stuff.

Words cannot express the beauty I see when I look out my window. It rained all day. The fog blanketted the hills surrounding the university. I don't remember watching anyone walk past the football field that I can see. But as I finished my chapter of Soviet history, I looked out the window to see the sun hitting the tree tops, the sky turning pink in the fading light. Birds started chirping. Oh my, leaving this place will be hard! I only have a month and a half left, too.

I had one of my moments. One of the times in which I could just forget life and go do whatever I wanted without the concern for money and prior obligations. I have decided I don't really want stuff. I'll hang on to my bass, my guitars, my computer, and my iPod. Maybe I'll keep my truck. Meh. It's just stuff. It'll burn in the end. I still believe the real treasure of this life is centered in God-centered experiences and relationships.

Having a conversation with my friend at breakfast, I was asked what I was going to do when I graduate. It was the coolest thing ever to be able to say "I dunno. I go where I'm led" and actually mean it.

I'm so excited for life! I have no idea where I'll end up. But this next year is going to be AMAZING! I'm so content with life. I've got it made.

Dude. I feel your excitement. I guess you know why I'm stoked on my future... I'm excited to see what God does with your life. I'm sure it'll be awesome.

Oh my goodness, I'm so jealous of your constant zeal for life! I wish I caould be as comfortable with it as you and be able to tell people "I don't know" instead of feeling the need to make up some random thing that people will be satisfied with. Like seriously - I'm jealous. You rock!

"Confuzzled." What a cool word! It's like confused with some hopeful fizz in it. I, too, love the energy God planted within you and look forward to seeing where He takes you - fizz and all!

Oops. The last comment actually came from the rabbit's mama, not the rabbit himself. Rabbit's mama pushed the wrong button. . .
