A good friend of mine is getting married this weekend. I’ve known him since before I can remember not knowing him(if that makes sense). His father is the pastor at my church, they came to the church when I was only two and they’ve been here ever since. For 24 years now we’ve been friends, through thick and thin and finally, FINALLY he found someone who would marry him. Unfortunately his wife-to-be has the female power of persuasion and has somehow convinced him that they shouldn’t live here, but in Michigan instead (weakling) . Soooo… Jen and I are driving up to Michigan this weekend. Sure, Michigan you say…right above Ohio…uh no. They’re living in “Iron Mountain” which is right on the border of Michigan and Wisconsin…far closer to Green Bay than Detroit…so, it’s a 12+ hour drive. Woohoo! Iron Mountain, here we come!

Have you ever had a dream one night and found yourself thinking about that dream for the whole next day? It happens to me every once in a while. It’s not the completely wild, crazy, I can fly dreams that get me, it’s the simple ones. The ones where the dream could actually happen. I remember in the past there have been dreams about people that I know, where a person will either like me a lot or dislike me in my dream and when I awake I have a hard time differentiating between reality and dream. I mean, i understand where the lines are but subliminally I think better or worse of that person because of something they did in my unconsciousness.
I won’t say what I dreamt about last night other than to say it was a good dream and no it didn’t involve anyone else.
Some of these thoughts have brought up bigger questions- I wonder if God is in my dreams? Does he put those thoughts there? Does he use dreams today as he did in the Bible to speak to people? How can I tell if it’s from Him?
Ok, this all sound crazy I know…but I wonder…
I have a horrible habit of saying one thing and doing the complete opposite. 2 months ago i wrote down all of these grand things that I was going to do when I arrived home. Well, I’ve been home for a month now and I’ve completed about 3 of the 20 things I wanted to do. Instead of getting outside and enjoying the great weather and the freedom I have to do anything I want, I sit here chained to my computer. I sit and think about things I want to redesign, items I want to research, or people I need to check up on. I spend hours trying to figure out how to make my life more efficient when i should just get out and do the things inefficiently and enjoy it! I mean, it’s not like I don’t have the time or something.
my computer is a blessing and a curse. I know how to do a lot with it and there are some really great skills I’m developing, but those things aren’t fulfilling. there’s no eternal result.
so, I’m going to try to do better. i don’t know how exactly, but tomorrow I’m going to promise myself that I won’t spend more than 3 hours on here.

a friend pointed me to this great site to help with setting daily goals for yourself. if you’re like me and need all the help you can get, you should check it out: Joe’s Goals
In continuation of my obsession with the evolution of silentfool.com, i’m considering redesigning the site. it seems that i probably spend more time changing the layout than i actually do blogging. oh well, it’s my site so i can do whatever i wish, right?
I’m also considering a podcast to go along with the new changes. Not that I have an abundance of things to talk about, but i think it might be a fun project and a good learning opportunity.
stay tuned.
