Status updates
Sometimes I feel as though status updates annoy the world on facebook. People don’t want to know everything you’re doing from minute to minute, like “I’m sitting down having coffee” and etc. So I guess I try and keep that to a minimum on facebook. That and I don’t go on facebook that often. Sometimes it’s necessary to go on and send a message to a friend or to try and keep in touch, and I do admit that I like facebook for “staying connected” and keeping up with what is going on in others’ lives.
It’s funny though. Sometimes I find myself thinking in updates! 
Or thinking up updates that I’d like to post. Here are a few that I thought of, but decided not to post on facebook tonight.
Amanda is “takinging inventory of her closet, as she finds she has way too many clothes and still tells herself, ‘I don’t have anything to wear!’ and that proceeds to justify purchasing more clothes.”
Actually, that’s not a wholly useless comment. Maybe I will post it at some point. But instead I used twitter again for the first time in almost a year to write something about “cranking up” Brian Eno for the night while I pack and unpack for the week.
I really haven’t had a lot of time lately, literally. And that’s the real reason behind not updating as often anymore. I’ve been going from doing one thing to the next and then the next. I find that the only time I really used to have to update was when I was in school, and coming online and writing a journal update about the life and woes of being a student felt easier than tackling an assignment. Well, now I have to find that will behind the motivation again, and just figure out how to harness it, without school. Maybe it’s called discipline.
I think that truly, I would rather be out there doing and doing and doing things, rather than stay and have “quiet time” and be with God. Now, I’m procrastinating from God. But this weekend, I couldn’t run away for a change. After having a busy schedule, I’ve found it a challenge and a struggle to come back to a peaceful and restful time because you just want to keep going. But how rewarding is this? When you finally get down to it, and it took me, say all of the whole weekend to get here, but finally at 9pm on Sunday evening, I’m having that time now. Just to peace out. And think. Maybe get to sleep early. Well, it’s the start of a new week.
Peace.
I’m listening to Brian Eno. Oh yeaaah.
And I’ve got to find more Scala. I like the Scala cover of Radiohead’s Creep. But it’s better to listen to something without any lyrics when you’re writing. And ambient is kind of perfect for a meditative setting…as they do use a few tracks in yoga class…hahaha…
