Tales of a Secret Rockstar

I'm so bored of little gods, while I'm standing on the edge of something large, while I'm standing here so close to You . . .

I find my mind is so often this jumbled mess of ideas, but I can never sit down long enough to organize and express them. That's a frustrating place to be at. I got a lot of time to think this weekend while I was at Missionsfest in Seattle. Mostly because nobody talked to me while I was at my booth. But they did take information, so that was good. I got to read a bit too. I read "God in the Dock" by CS Lewis, which I picked up in Edmonton. I'll probably have to read it again. It was really good, and kind of along the lines of what I've been thinking about lately. He had some particularly interesting things to say about the nature of mythology, and how Christianity is a "true myth". There were a few essays about miracles and how they measure up to scientifically understood laws of nature. Very good reading. Am I going to comment on them at this point? Probably not. And by probably I mean definitely. But thoughts are brewing. When I have time this blog will explode in a series of try-too-hard intellectualist posts. It will be delightful.

Speaking of try-too-hard intellectualist posts, I am currently trying just that with my xanga blog. If you are into profound and random ramblings check it out. Seeing as I havent heard from you yet, I am assuming its a possibility that I actually wont...bummer. In any case you can still anonymously enjoy some intellectual-isms-shana-style. Search me under Shanabee.

Hey, wanna know my trick to getting jumbled thoughts out, when I can't sit still long enough to write something meaningful? I make myself write one sentence for every "idea", even if it's an insanely long sentence. If I have it in my head that I only have to write one sentence, I usually get it out.

And then later, when I have time, I go back and write more about each sentence. But the first step usually helps me, anyway.
