At times I feel obligated to write something in this weblog everyday…even though the daily entry can be dull, bleak, obscure or dim at times. I do keep track of other people’s weblogs. Many of them are updated maybe once a month and are definitely dull themselves. Has this weblog helped me? At times, yes. Sometimes it is good to get thoughts out on paper. Other times it is good to look back on times and try to decipher what I was thinking. Used to I would compose these epic emails to friends which would be a prototype of these journal entries. I needed to express my views. And friends with email was my outlet at the time. This weblog is now my outlet. Read as long as you are interested. Stop reading when this weblog has become worn out like an old cliche.
Does the world need to know? Not necessarily. Has this weblog helped you? Maybe if you are a friend or aquaintance it has helped you understand me more…as far as what drives me….what irritates me….what I’m concerned about. I put no fake facade on this. No false feelings. No feelings trying to make you think more postive of me. What you see is what you get. Then again some negative thoughts I do try to keep to myself. There is no need to express deep disguist at something or someone specific and post it here. That would be counterproductive.
I don’t consider myself a writer. I never have and I don’t now. For me English class was for the express purpose of telling the teacher what he/she wanted to hear. I never really expressed my deep down personal views on something. Never had a reason to. Never took a stance on something. To me, all books are boring. For the most part, I still feel that way. Fictional stories are not my thing. I’d rather read current events and discuss them.
I would like to find out what Wednesday night’s Bible school lesson is about. I have yet to get the book from our head teacher. I guess if he expects me to teach it, I should get a booklet. Otherwise I’ll continue to be a fly on the wall during class. Right now they’ve got me putting together a class directory…which means taking pictures and getting short biographies from the kids. I guess they think I’m good with computers and/or digital cameras. It just seems like excess paperwork for me.
I’ve been told 5 or 6 people out of our small organization of 53 people will be laid off. I still don’t know if I’ll be effected. I hate not knowing. I guess I should know something within the next few weeks. We’ll see…
On a side note, I watched Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien speak on TV today. If leaders were elected only on speaking ability, he would have never gotten elected. At times I could not understand him through his thick accent. I could probably speak better French than English.
