I'm back...(again)

So it's been a while since I've posted. You would think for an INFJ this would be the ideal forum to express my deepest thoughts and desires. But I also want to talk about random stuff that may only interest me...until I can come up with said random thing, here's a thought:

Something that was said tonight provoked some thought...it's interesting that Christ came in the form of a baby when He could have just appeared as a full grown man. Obviously, there's theological reasons why He came the way He did. But, it's fascinating to think that He would be willing to experience life as a human from the very beginning. There's a sense of awe and wonder in that; something I often lack because of the familiarity with the 'Christmas Story'.

I'm back...

Ever invest in something, trying to make sure you don't get your hopes up, but that something (inevitably) doesn't pan out, and you feel like you got suckered punch? And then you realize you did in fact get your hopes up? And the funny thing is that you are more upset about getting your hopes up than the thing not actually panning out? Good times....

6 Months

To be honest, I didn't think I would last this long when this whole crazy experiment started. My intention was to make it out here, but I guess I left room for failure. The other night, a friend asked me if I was happy here. I found that kind of hard to answer. To a certain degree, I'm better off here than I was in So Cal. For one, I have a stable job with a potential future. And I enjoy not having to drive. My social network is definitely in need of assistance, but that's kinda been the case ever since I left San Diego. Overall though, things have plateaued, as my friend Mike would say. We were talking last week and we both agreed that the novelty of moving to a new area has worn off. Occasionally, I experience my "wow, I can't believe I moved 3,000 miles and I succeeded" moments while in the subway or walking the streets of downtown Boston. But, I guess I'm getting to that "what now?" phase. So I don't know if I can quantify my time in Boston in terms of happiness. I'd like to think that the experience of being here will somehow have an impact down the road. In any event, I can't deny that I'm supposed to be here right now.

Old Skool part 2: Probably the greatest game ever...

I want some JAM!!!

So, I'm starting to get settled into Boston. And it only took me 4 months! I live with some great roommates, I've gotten involved with a great church, and I actually kinda enjoy my job. Well, it keeps me busy, which is a huge upgrade from my last one...Plus, we are moving to a new location next week and our cubicles have sliding doors!! So stoked about that. Actually, in all seriousness, since I moved here, I've just been in awe of the Lord's faithfulness. I mean, I literally came to Boston with two suitcases. I honestly didn't think I would make it. But God has done above and beyond what I even asked or thought...
Random thought: It's amazing how many music montages on YouTube are devoted to Jim and Pam.

I did it...

I did something I told myself I would never do. I bought a bed. There's no bailing out now...

Remember Number Munchers?

That was a fun game. It made learning fun. That and Oregon Trail got me through elementary school.
So, as you know, I'll be in Boston indefinitely. How long is indefinite? Only God knows. I'm just playing it by ear. In the meantime, I'm working at a publishing company. Hopefully, I'll find my niche there...
