THE LATEST
This just in: I got a call from VA Beach. The job was given to someone else. The main reason being that I'm "over-qualified" for the position that I was up for. The department is growing and there may be something in the future that better matches my talent/skill set. I'm totally cool with that. This frees up both money and time for me. If I had been given the job, I would have to spend money on moving expenses and on furnishing an apartment. Also, if I had a new job I wouldn't have the flexibility that I have now in taking time off. Now I'm thinking about going to the Cornerstone Festival again this summer. This time I'd be taking a short film for the film festival there. Of course, there are other travel plans I'm considering as well.
I feel like God has blessed me with extra income recently (free-lance video work and I think I'll get a tax refund this year) but I don't know if there's a specific reason for the surplus or not. I should probably squirrel some away in a cd or something :)

The honesty of the moment tempered by long term truths?
Is it wrong to deny the expression of feelings because I know that feelings are transient? If I were to tell you something today would you assume it'll still be true tomorrow. I'm still worried about promises that can't be kept. Maybe I'll be safe if I send mixed signals. You know, for every heart-felt expression of unreasonable desire to be with you I'd offer up a heart-felt, mind-fed doubt about how well things are going? That'd make you feel better right :) haha
Well, I don't want to get you too wrapped up in emotions. How much is too much? I don't know. What I do know is that I've "talked" to you more in the last three weeks than I have with the people I live and work with in the last three months. I've been happier despite a tendency to get somewhat depressed when sleep deprived. I'm walking around amazed at how full my thoughts can be of someone my eyes have never seen. From my vantage point way over here, I still think you'd be good for me to be around even if we weren't emotionally... ummm... active.
So, at the moment, I'm very into you.

Last night I thought of another reason why the slow road is a good one. It isn't simply a matter of being sure not to make a big mistake. There's a matter of being ready or mature enough in the various areas of life. I know I have things that I think need to change. It's good to know you now. It makes preparing for the future more apparent. whether "we're" in it or not.
The Innocence Mission
So beautiful, so soothing.
"Let's get up early now/dive clear into the day/let's get out of the with open arms/not wait to be embraced"
I only have one album "befriended" but I think I will buy more. Their other CDs don't quite seem as soft and warm from what I've heard. I wish I could just go home, put some headphones on, lay down and just listen to this and other good music.

In case you want to know if where you're eating in the Lynchburg VA has been clean.

Most the thoughts that were swirling in my head that I wanted to tell you have all flown out. Oh and I'm sorry if my answers to your questions are too vague and too short. I'm not used to answering questions and if I haven't thought in those terms before I'm slow at formulating answers. :)
In some ways I wish we could've had the meat of the "C" conversation over the phone or in person. But maybe it's best the way it happened. Sometimes when listening to people talk about things like that I get distracted by trying to look sympathetic.

This morning the sun is out but the thermometer read 34 degrees (F). Hmmm if it were in the 50's I would have considered riding my motorcycle to work. Of course, earlier this week it was 56 in the morning but it rained that day and then got cooler.
It'll be so nice when it gets warm enough to ride again. I really do enjoy it. It took me a month or two to get to the point where I didn't have to think about operating the machine. Now, while I'm not an expert, I don't have to concentrate on shifting :)
If it's in God's will for me to move to Virginia Beach, I might sell the bike. I've only had it a few months but over there it's flat, congested and not very curvy. I don't think it'd be much fun to ride. Also, if I move, I'm thinking about not signing up for internet service and not getting cable/satellite TV and possibly canceling my Netflix account. My expenses would be higher and it might be good to have fewer distractions around the house. I'm sure I'll have internet access at work. Maybe I could get a laptop and find a coffee shop with wireless access. It'd be weird not to have internet access at home but maybe that'd be a good thing.

It's the lunching hour. ;)
Well, we showed the School of Law promo video to the School of Law promo. They caught a couple of problems with people's titles on the screen. They also caught where we misspelled chief. Tim initially typed them all in I think and his spelling isn't very good. Of course, I should have caught it. In fact I stared at it for several seconds because it didn't look right. I managed to convince myself that it was okay. My bad. Oh well, there's a school of thought that says to leave something that needs fixed when you show a project to a client. That way they have something to tell you to change and they don't have to make up something for you to change. I guess some people feel they aren't in power if they don't have you change something. I don't think the Law School people are like that... well, not all of them anyway.
