I Want To Whisper in the biggest voice I’ve got…

[but i don’t]

I Want To Shout everything that is on my mind…

[it's obvious why i don’t]

I Realize that this could ruin everything…

[also recognizing that i don’t]

I Think This could make everything better…

Knowing This, i know what to do.

[but, i likely won’t]

Stop Thinking.

I REALLY Need To Stop Thinking Tonight…

And…

I Like That Idea…

[now, i only wish i believed in it]

I Had Created Three Pages Of ‘Stream-Of-Concousness’ Writing…

Somehow, My Faith Life Manifested Itself In Three Barely Filled Pages.

Faith Life? Perhaps The Lack Thereof.

At Any Rate…
The Exerpt At The Top Of This Page Is The Only Part That Was Spared The Delete Key - The Only Part That Matters I Suppose.

sometimes you’re blind to what is between where you are and where you want to go…but you just have to Jump and trust that youll land either on your feet or in the arms of someone who cares

Today - As Summer Days Can Go - Has Been Rather Informative.

… Or, At Least I Tell Myself That.

I hope your not afraid of heights.’

P.S. If alot of this post sounds plaigarized, worry not - it is.

EDITORIAL COMMENT ADDED 11/26/2006
——

This post, in its original context had the following comment. I’d like to remember this:

hmm.. your posts remind me of a favorite book of mine, The gospel according to Larry. This highschooler has a website and he posts these “sermons” that have topics that apply to life. Many people of all ages read his sermons and discuss them. He doesnt’ believe in conformity and he loves Thoreau. He has a tough life. First of all, his mother died and left him at a young age, with just a step father who does advertising. He has a secret crush on his best friend, Beth. He hides behind a secret identity, Larry. Your posts just inspire me. I totally understand [Jump!] now. It’s a great way tying off your posts, Nate. It’s inspiring to me. I’m going to try to live my life that way for now on.

Anti-E-Propage

Anti-Xanga Proclamation:
———————-

Is Anybody Else A Little Bothered By eProps?

The Problem Is This:

How Is One Expected To Convey Their Entire Reaction To A Post - Often Profound And Insightful - In A Few Sentances?

Also, Has Anyone Noticed How eProps Often Don’t Even Pertain To The Content Of A Post? Perhaps That Is A Direct Reaction Caused By My First Grievance Against eProps.

Anyhow… I Figured I’d Just Take The Time To Make Those Two Things Known.

… Also That I Am Hypocrite; Because Only A Few Posts Prior, I BEGGED For eProps.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha… I Laugh.

So… Yeah…

I ‘Forgot’ Once Again.

(…but i think that i am okay with that.)

[Jump!]

p.s. - If Only Two People eProp This, I Will Hit An eProp Weekly Record For The Past Month

p,p,s, - (let’s see if we can SHATTER that record )

p.p.p.s. - Does This Preceding Abreviation Mean ‘Post-post-post Script’?

p.p.p.p.s. - (feel free to ignore the pathetic plea for eLove that appears two lines prior to this one.)

p.p.p.p.p.s. = Post-post-post-post-post-Script… (Odd?)

And Again I Say:
