| I've always had a hard time journaling, and online it's kinda weird. What do you think?
I thought that I would make a video blog, but I need to practice some.

| A couple of weeks ago I figured out that as life has progressed I am
increasingly bothered by something or another at any one moment in
time. It can always be explained by a variety of self imposed or
external devices including but not limited to things like: a lack of
sleep, a constant necessity to know something else that I don't know or
learned before, relationship trouble, sickness, too much caffeine,
social justice, challenges that my friends face, or any other of the
thousands of pressures that life seems to consist of. I determined that
it is the direct result of sin and life on earth and will not
discontinue until death. I also decided that I would now refer to all
these things as _____. Mostly because all of these very frustrating and
unfortunate things make me feel the same way. Which is sorta like a
disconcerted weight of adrenaline above by stomach, and just below the
diaphram.
With regard to this ____ which haunts me though I have
found that there are certain things which come from it that are
beneficial and rewarding. I also found that other things relive it.
That which tends to be rewarding is that it keeps me working when I do
not feel like it. Many times when I was a child and I did not have but
a slight glimpse of ____ I would quit when I felt like it. This
resulted in many half constructed go carts and electronic clanging
swords being left in pieces. Now I seem to get things done, and there
is some satisfaction to this. I find that which relives it are the
relationships which I have. For instance, last night, Jacob from small
group called and we leisurely talked about life and then he asked to
pray for me, and it was great. It is this sort of interaction with my
friends that I feel is truly beneficial and one that I suspect to have
an increasing amount of importance as I get older.
I also have another blog that I think looks cool at http://johnathanreichart.blogspot.com/. I have not abandoned Xanga as some have, I just liked it...
