Monday, May 19, 2008

Well, it is Monday May 19th, 2008. Today is my first weekday after receiving my B.A. in English Literature . . . well sorta. I still have to revise and turn in my honors thesis, but it is close enough. Right?

The upper radiator hose on my car cracked and started spewing today. Just wonderful. Things tend to be breaking around me. I stubbed my pinkie toe today after a nice hot shower and it split open. Just Grand.

I still have my job: data entry. Fun. But it is better than nothing yes?

Nothing really changes. I just no longer goto class, and I work more often.

My good, and probably best, friend graduated this weekend as well. She was going to school in South Carolina. She moves back to South Korea on Wednesday. I'm sad about that. I will no longer be able to call her when ever I want to talk about . . . well usually nothing. I will miss that a lot.

I don't understand this thing called life. The way life plays it self out is nonsensical. How to does people rise to the top, and why do others sink to the bottom. And which is better? Is there such a thing a greatness? I think there is, but I don' t think it looks like what man and culture presently deems it to be. This is hard for me, because I long to be great . . . but I measure it in the eyes of man and the things that I am doing. But that is not true greatness, for my life is vanishing before my eyes like a vapor.
Humility is greatness.
Love conquers all--it remains.

"I wish I had the courage to be an absolute nobody. " This is my prayer . . . and I fall short of this desire each and every minute of every day.
