sun

I just wanted to use this post to shoot straight. No poetry, or attempts at poetry. But more like a journal entry for this day, June 28th, 2005.

As you will see to your right, I've added links to this blog. They take you to two very important sties. My very dear friends, Chip and Keith, each have their own blog. It's super intense stuff and I strongly urge you to check it out when time permits. You will be thoroughly riveted by the words they spew.

The third link will be a revolving link. This week, that link takes you to Pitchfork Media, the online source for independent music. As many people who know me know, I love music and I love the spirit of independent music. Therefore, I thought it might be cool to let people get a glimpse of that world. So if you have time, check it out. It's for a very small niche and won't be interesting to everybody, but if you're bored, it might be worth checking out.

I guess in general things have been going pretty well today. I'm not too angry or frustrated, which is always good and I'm trying to take the day minute by minute. I don't know really what I'm supposed to write about. It seems to me that if I'm not masking some kind of hostility, then I can't write. But I feel that I need to break out of that, hence this journal entry.

I'll tell you one thing. I do love summer. It's hot here, but that's ok. I don't mind. There is something about this season of the year that brings out the best in my attitude ( usually ). Sunshine -- you know God was behind this whole concept. A bright yellow/orange orb shedding light and warmth across an entire world. It's a beautiful concept.

And it got me thinking...I want to be a sun. There is something beautiful about being a positive force in this world, someone who people can look at and see warmth and light and beauty. It's so easy to get caught up in all the bs and other things that get a man down. And I'm not one of those people who is content to just overlook the things that piss me off. But I want to be someone who perserveres through that....I don't think God wants every day of our life to be rainbows and bubblegum. But at the same time, I feel like I need to learn how to handle tests better and have a more positive outlook.

I hope that I will do that and I hope you will pray for me. I, in turn, will pray for you, dear friends.

I think that's all for now. This wasn't very intesting. We'll try again tomorrow maybe.

Love to you all,
Gabe
