Traveling Thoughts

This blog has been fairly surface as far as my life is concerned, rarely do I ever write about anything that is more than surface level stuff about me. I avoid speaking about my Christianity, I avoid speaking about politics, and I avoid speaking about work, among the million other things I most likely have a tendency to avoid.

I avoid speaking about my Christianity because I have a constant on again off again relationship with God because I’m reminded every couple of hours how pissed off I am at Him no matter what good He’s doing/done in my life. Half the time I’m so pissed off that I won’t even claim to be a Christian because I’d rather sacrifice my Christianity than be the person that turns another person away from Christianity because I’m a “hypocrite”.

I avoid speaking about politics because of several reasons, 1) I used to not pay so much attention to them and 2) they’re so controversial that one has to know the issues they’re going to discuss and they have to be able to support their stand on the issues or they’re going to get run over verbally by people that know about the issues better than I do (which kindof is another reason I don’t blog about my beliefs because sometimes just because I know something is right in my heart doesn’t mean I have what I need to back up that belief).

I avoid speaking about work just because it’s bad form to blog about work and because one can get fired for it (read: Dooce’d). But here’s my take on that, there is just some shit that has to be put up with at work, because we don’t have a choice, it just has to be done, and so if I have to put up with that shit at work, I’m going to blog about it just so I can get through the day without being completely frustrated to the point where I just can’t get past the issues that will exist in any job I have. I don’t want to get fired, but it’s important that I speak about my feelings, that way I don’t go into a rage that can be far worse than me blogging about my thoughts and feelings.

All this to say, the content of my blog is going to change a little, I’m going to start discussing topics I didn’t use to discuss because this blog is my blog and I need to start writing about stuff and getting it off my chest or I’m going to go freakin’ insane.
