neurological dryer lint

last night was the first night of lifespring's 8.50 club, their wednesday night guys' study thingy. i was by far the youngest person in the room. it's weird. dan burton, one of lifespring's guys, talked about feeling like life was going nowhere. kinda the themes that eldredge talked about in wild at heart - which i think we're going to go through in this study, wonderful, that makes the fifth or so study that i've done on this book - anyway, stuff that i think guys in a different stage of life than me feel a lot more frequently. the lack of passion or drive for life, the feeling that things are never going to get better... the loss of adventure... so it's interesting to explore these ideas with people actually in the situation than the guys i lived with in the compound. i don't know. maybe it'll be good to go through this stuff again, get the perspective of some of the guys i really respect, like dick alexander and andy deuitch and jim littlejohn... then again, it eats up my wednesday nights so i might not stick around. we'll see.

driving to columbus tomorrow for a microsoft thing at 8am. argh. bet that'll be a fun drive. and then adrian's staying w/me all weekend. although i got lots of homework and video for club to prepare, so hopefully we have time for some actual entertainment.

i've relinquished the role of avid ilovebees supporter and become a distant spectator. they're revealing storylines that are somewhat related to the halo universe now... it's like they're releasing new audio episodes of some story about a few characters once a week. who knows how long this will last or where it will go. i'm hoping for some monumentally big tie-in with the game come nov. 9th, like unlocking some huge features using some information that the ILB thing has revealed.

big brooke trisler is playing our fall weekend. coolness. he also might be opening for deadpoetic / acceptance if they're actually playing this weekend... how sweet would that be...
