the great unknown

what do you do, when you take a step forward, and feels like the wrong direction, so you take a step opposite, but it also seems wrong? where do you go? i swear, we can't catch a break. i feel like shauna and i have been jumping from sinking island to sinking island, like a super mario brothers nightmare. we just can't seem to land on solid ground. and this is the time it becomes hardest to have faith, when you need to fall back completely. i need to know God has an idea for us. i've never been good, or really known complete and unhindered faith. like a child. but its time for my faith to grow. to be bold and relentless.

i'll be 31 on friday. thats old. i can now actually remember my parents being my age, which is weird. i feel like i've accomplished next to nothing in my time here. not sure if i will anytime soon. in waiting for a dare to be great situation, i've let life pass me by. ho hum.

well, either way, the future, as soon as this summer, is out of our hands. we may end up back in auburn for a few years, if the wife gets a job there. a twist i never saw coming. we don't really have friends there anymore.

but, what is life without adventure? i always said i never wanted a boring life. perhaps thats what i've been given. much of me is not a lot different than the kid i was, just farther down the path, skin a little thicker and a head a little wiser.

my other place. with stuff most of you will not be interested in.

March Madness

the wife and i went to disneyland for two hours last night as our passes expire this week. we watched captain eo, rode space mountain and big thunder. i got a stuffed ewok. we ate red robin. i had a california chicken burger with avocado. delicious. its pretty rad that we are able to go hang out at the happiest place on earth whenever we want. we then came home and watched lost. i think is was one of the best most intense episodes yet. pretty sweet night.

i'm gonna go see this this week if anyone is interested in coming along.

watched multiple interviews with mitt romney and sarah palin in the last few weeks. trying to stay open minded about all approaches. doesn't seem like anyone is doing it right. its frustrating. it would seem that our politicians are more polarized than ever and unwilling to honestly approach issues with a vantage point that may contradict their party. its sad. country feels a little hopeless right now, on all fronts. bummer way to begin your 30's. makes me a little more afraid to have kids. especially seeing the uphill battle shauna's students have. seems more impossible than ever for a kid to navigate life with integrity.

well, i am looking forward to a few things:
*delaney's birthday next saturday
*the oscars this sunday
*cd release show with josh on the 27th
