Ramblings

So, I plan on trying to write in this as often as possible. I know that it will be impossible to do every day, as there are times when I just won't be able to get access to the Internet (yes, there are a few places in the world that are still Internet incapable), but most of the time I can hop onto the old desktop (or laptop, or Internet enabled phone, depending on where I am or what I am doing, woah, just had a Yoda flash back there, from Empire Strikes Back, sorry about that) and throw some reflections at the world.

In middle school (a long, long time ago in a city not that far away, I honestly don't know where the Star Wars references are coming from) we had to write a journal entry every day in my English class. The teacher, Mrs. Martin was her name, I believe, would put a quote up on the board to inspire us. Well, due to the power of the Internet, the Quote of the Day can be found on line here. Just like in that class, I won't always use the Quote o' the Day to inspire me, but it will always be available.

Today's quote is...

We're not lost, we're locationally challenged.

-John M. Ford

Pretty appropriate since the television show LOST aired last night. (For more on that television show read this).

I like the thought though, maybe it's the stereotypical male side of me, the side that refuses to ask for directions. (Although, there have been plenty of times when I have asked for directions, but that doesn't mean I like to.)

Even more interesting about this idea is the idea of being lost as being unsure of our life's direction or status. But maybe that's not really the issue, the reason we feel lost in our life is because we are "locationally challenged". We aren't sure what our location is supposed to be.

I don't know why, but this really speaks to me.

Maybe it's because I often feel lost or locationally challenged. It isn't that I'm unhappy in life, I'm not, things are good for the most part, but I often feel as if I'm not where I'm supposed to be, if that makes sense. So, the question is where am I supposed to be? I have an idea, but I have no idea how to get there.

Not because I'm lost, but because I just don't know where it's located.

Well, that's all the time I have for today. Thanks for reading.
