An Ode To Existence

i'm hungry

how come it's taking the green beans longer to cook than the hamburger helper? and how come they don't put the directions for cooking green beans on the back of the can like they do for soup? that makes me feel really dumb. but for reals, how do i know if i need to put it in more water or if the water in the can is enough or how long i'm supposed to cook it? that's a rhetorical question for all you smart-alecks out there. i hope those beans finish cooking before everything else gets cold. let's go check. God bless.

do you ever feel like you're just floating through life? not feeling awesome, not feeling horrible...maybe not feeling much at all. life is little more than this laundry list of daily tasks, you finish them (sometimes), go to sleep, then wake up and do it all over again. it's all quite monotonous....not really what i had in mind when i requested the groundhog day. i only wonder this because mar asked me how i was doing a couple days ago, and i didn't really know how to answer her. this was the best answer i could come up with. i never really know how to answer that question, but it's especially hard nowadays. it's hard not to get consumed by the daily "must do's," and when you do, you miss out on God and stop seeing your friends and doing the things that make life worth living. then you end up feeling like an irrelevant cloud, slowly dissapating until you are no more. the caveat is that while you may feel this way, it's not the way things really are, and you'll miss out on so much if you let life bind and blind you with it's lies. i ain't goin' out like that. i need to get out more, see mar & e & fowler & others more, go further than my front porch between friday night and monday morning. i'm gonna go for a walk now. fresh air & nature are always good ways to remind yourself of how awesome & beautiful God is. like some hearty vegetable beef soup for the soul. bendigos.
