The Scatterbrained Fool Talks Again
Much going on these days. I can't really complain though.
Yesterday, I hung out with my friend, Judy, and sat at Quizno's gabbing about life and what have you. She was just finished with finals so she was totally running on adrenaline. It's nice to just chill with a friend every now and again.
Went to Davis last Sunday with Tony. Met up with my former roommate, Sean. We sat around and talked about what was going on in our lives. A lot of catching up was done. I feel bad for Sean though.
I'm realizing that I need more self-discipline. The kind of discipline where its not about being fearful of the consequences of inaction, but just due diligence on certain matters. The reason why this comes up is that I notice that I'm not nearly putting in the same amount of effort as I did last semester. Sure, I didn't exactly start this semester on an emotionally balanced note. But even then, I still think I can put forth more effort than this.
I seem to be spending more time with photography these days. After meeting with Mike a while ago to talk shop, I think I'm headed in a better direction as far as this craft goes. We'll see how this next project goes.
As of late, I've been entertaining the idea of going active-duty after I receive my commission. My original plan was to stay in the reserves after getting my "butter bar." However, the idea of leadership experience day-in and day-out sounds like something that can really grow me. Sure, it'd be an adventure of sorts, but I see this as a way that can stretch and grow me even further. Just a thought.
It appalls me how simplistic (and naive) some people are to the societal problems of this world. Its like they're sheltered to certain realities and somehow think that it can be fixed like you can fix a computer or some such. It's been my experience that this simply isn't the case. Real-life doesn't always hold to the "school solution." I've come to the conclusion that in the end, all you have is heart, character, and wisdom. And get this, age has little to do with this. I've known many wise 19 year olds. I've know many foolish 30 year olds. I guess some people aren't astute observers of human nature. It seems to fly over some people. If only there were more of such observers in the world.
I just realized that for a lot of the things mentioned above, I should probably pray about that.
