The only reason that I'm really writing this is due to personal accountability. I have said over and over again that I am going to write once a week, at least, but unfortunately I'm not very good at being accountable to the things I proclaim for myself. It's stupid, and there is no real way for others to hold me accountable when I don't allow people close enough in order to prod me to write anything at all.
My blogs aren't great. My poetic writings have been on hold. My theological discussions are at an all time low. Who have I become? I'm a stranger to myself, but that's really it.
I have dreams too you know!
I have been slowly taking steps to realize some of those dreams, which is really exciting. Slowly but surely I will ascend the mountain of life, and make something of myself, or not. It doesn't really matter.
I realize that this is just a bunch of randomness, and I don't apologize. There will probably only be 4 people who view this page, so this is for them and me!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I was driving back from the homeland yesterday, I had the strangest thought creep up in my head space, but before I divulge this private message, I should shed some light on some of my history. You see, as a young boy I was intrigued by the paranormal, extraterrestrial, and all of those weird sorts of things that capture the mind of young people. It got to the point where some friends and I wanted to write a series of stories based on adventurers who were called up on to save the world from destruction by traveling through distant galaxies and such.
Needless to say that never happened, and I'm only friends with 1 of those people anymore. So much for a good thing, I guess! However, one piece of the extraterrestrial puzzle that always kind of gets overlooked was one that found its way into my head space last night: Crop Circles!
Now, I realize that the hoax of crop circles has been debunked over and over again. There are groups of people who go out into fields at night and stomp down crops in intricate shapes that could only be created by alien crafts touching down. Fine! However, how cool would it be to make one yourself? Which is where I left it last night. I told my friend that I wanted to partake in such an activity and it sounded ridiculous, and it doesn't read any better than it sounded last night, however I want to go in a different direction with this. So, bare with me for a second.
What if crop circles were messages from God?
What if the men/women/children had visions from God that lead them to create the designs in the crop?
What if there are aliens out there?
I don't know! Again, writing for personal accountability this week, not really for content. However, I'm for real about wanting to make a crop circle--this summer even!
In order to do this though, I'm going to need a few things: 1) a pasture space (preferably without cow-pies!); 2) friends; 3) supplies; and 4) a good design. Without this combination of things this activity will fail completely. Now, allow me to explain a little bit!
In my head and heart, I respect farmers too much to be stomping down their crops, especially after the hard season they had last year. So, I figured if there were a pasture area full of grass, livestock would be able to eat it regardless and it wouldn't really cause any harm. I also can't do it alone, because I'm lazy and not that smart, so I need a small group of people who would be willing to help out. The rest is pretty self-explanatory, I think. If not, get at me, and we can talk it out some more!
So, there you have it. One more goal to add to my list of things to do in order to live a better life!
