lots of little things…

This entry may be a bit long, because there are several items of importance I felt needed sharing. I thought about using LJ-cuts, but decided againt it, for no real apparent reason.

So…first things first. Contrary to rumors going around(spoken or unspoken), Ashley and I didn't have sex. Not even close. I didnt get back from my date until 3am because the movie we went to see was 3 hours long(which by the way..Davinci code–so not worth it), and afterwards we talked for quite a while. Lets all remember this happened in Sterling, and with no traffic it takes about 35-40 minutes for me to get home. However, great communication is something I look for in a potential relationship, so it's good to know that aspect is there. As far as first dates go though, this one was practically perfect.

Secondly, you'd think I would have learned my lesson, but it appears once again my excitement about the potential my current social life holds has made me appear too over-eager and a little bit desperate. Nothing nearly as bad as last time(thank God) and luckily I have my boss to tell me point blank when I'm making a fool out of myself. I just need to remember that my excitement about potential relationships can definitely come off as clingly, desperate and over-eager. Which are all very bad things to a woman who wants to casually date for a while until deciding to take things to the next level. So I'm gonna try to relax, not be so persistant/pushy in my desire to see her, and basically just wait until shes ready to see me again. From what I've seen so far, Ashley has all the qualities I'm looking for in a woman, the last thing I want to do is freak her out and scare her off.

Next subject! The horrible and distasteful Sinfest comic I posted a while back. This is actually the first comic I've posted to recieve negative feedback. Is it funny? No. Is it shocking? Yes. Should it make you think? Yes. Regardless of how it's portrayed, Jesus did save the world by dying on a cross. The message is true. The medium may disturb you, but hey–you've remembered it. Life is not always so happy go lucky and pure. While the 'comic' might not have appealed to you, I'm sure there are many people out there who might not even know the gospel story, and this may be the first 'taste' of it. Who knows? Maybe this comic will drive some people to look up the subject or read a bible. Am I defending the artist? No. I'm merely giving you another viewpoint to consider. I will say I find it curious that you all jump at the comic you hate, while say nothing about another comic drawn by the same man with a completely different focus.

Moving on! X-Men 3. I won't spend too much time on this, due to the fact that I could potentially slip some spoilers into this post, but I will say I thought it was an awesome movie. You should go see it. And after you see it, make sure you sit through all the credits. For your patience you're rewarded with an extra scene.

Thats about it for now. I'm off to rest and relax before work tomorrow.
