I suppose two years between journal entries is a bit lazy.
It's July. It's hot. I hate the heat. I especially hate record breaking highs. I like record breaking lows much better.
You know what I would like to see celebrated or at least recognized? A week straight of non-record breaking temperatures. "This week is neither the hottest nor the coldest week we've ever had." That would be cool.
New interests: In the last two years I've picked up a noted interest in Nightvale, a podcast about a town that suffers from/enjoys a daily dose of the paranormal, vague and ominous government agencies, a sheriff's secret police, a schizoid mayor/mystic, a five headed dragon running to replace said mayor, a scientist with gorgeous perfect hair, a faceless old woman that secretly lives in your home (also running for mayor against said five-headed dragon), and intern stuck in an alternate desert dimension, a monomaniacal glow-cloud, an evil corporation, a dog park in which no dogs or people are allowed full of hooded figures that you are not allowed to look at or think about for too long, non-existing angels, and host of other beings and issues that you are not allowed to think about, all being reported bi-weekly by it's local community radio show host, Cecil.
All Hale the Glow-Cloud.
Also, I've continued crocheting and knitting. I crocheted a giant 15-foot Doctor Who scarf that is too large for normal use. I wear it when it's extremely cold or if I'm attending sci-fi or comic conventions.
I had carpal tunnel surgery last year which put me out of commission for drawing for a long time. I've had to re-teach my hand how to do it with frustrating results, but painting is not so hard. Computer art is extremely difficult when using a trackball mouse, but a regular mouse still makes my hand go numb if I use it too long.
Niece had a baby last year and he just turned 1.
My other niece also had a baby last year. He's about seven months old and I crocheted him a cowboy had.
I have not been to church in a couple of years. I've become somewhat disillusioned by mega-churches and how impersonal and crowded they are. There is no connection felt with the people anymore. My wife has a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses over every once in a while to do bible study. That's fun when I get to sit in on my lunch break sometimes. I should really pick up my bible and do study myself.
I'm thoroughly addicted to Minecraft. I discovered it about a year and a half ago and haven't been able to put it down ever since.
I'm struggling with weight issues. We've been to see a nutritional therapist who believes she can diagnose my nutrient deficiencies with applied kinesiology. I'm starting to think she's a quack, but the supplements she prescribes aren't bad and I have to admit (when I take them) they do make me feel better. I'm not exercising or drinking enough water, so that part I have to change. Too bad they don't make a pill for that.
The world is a mess and crazy and mean and petty as always. People find new things to fight about and try to make me feel bad about it. Facebook is full of it. I've had to tune it out to preserve my sanity.
And that's where I am in a nut shell. Probably lots I'm forgetting or don't want to think about.

Devious Journal Entry
Four years between journal entries. Getting lazier by a factor of two.
Not much has changed. More babies. I honestly forgot about the cowboy hat I crocheted (apparently). Still don't remember doing that.
I don't do 2-d art much anymore. I crochet and I play Minecraft. The world is crazier and meaner than ever. I still believe in Jesus but I don't go to church because, well, everyone else just believes in Trump. They stopped believing in Jesus for some reason. So I feel alone in that I'm a liberal christian--both the liberals and the christians won't have me. I will still have them because that is how I roll and always will be how I roll. Lo

Its 12/21/2012. The 13th Baktun has begun. Booya Mayans.
So, that must mean we have 5125 more years before the world has a chance to end again. Get it right next time, will you world? End already!
Boredom is Poison
The ADD Axiom
Boredom is poison.
There is nothing worse than being bored for a person with ADD or ADHD. I count myself among them. My sons are both unfortunate sufferers too. My younger son more so than my oldest, as he must be medicated, just like me. My oldest can cope without medication.
I'm crocheting a sweater right now. Using camouflage colored yarn.
Struggling to overcome boredom.
In an Age of Reason - Reasonable Faith
I believe there is a greater consciousness pushing the human race to be more than it is. I believe it guides and steers us at the same time.
Atheists tell me that they do not believe in God because it defies reason that they trust more in their own intellect and senses to interpret and understand the world around them. I guess my problem is, the more I rely on reason and my own senses to interpret the world, the more I see God behind it all. I can't ignore obvious signs of intellect and intention behind those things that are "supposed" to be random and chaotic. I can't wrap my head around a DNA strand coded to self-replicate and grow
