same old same old

It’s been a really long time since I’ve really written in here. Sometimes I feel like I have no inspiration to write anything worth sharing. I’ve had lots of heavier and deeper thoughts lately, but quite frankly most people don’t care to read them. Heck, whenever I mention “Jesus” in a blog, my daily page hits drop by something like 200%. Anyways, for tonight I’ll keep it light because I love you.

So, how about some updates of things that are the same?

1. My eye prescription
It hasn’t changed in over a year. I guess now I qualify for Lasik or something. My metal framed glasses are so outdated and out of style now. To be honest, I’m too embarrassed to wear them in public now. Plus, they’re really scratched up so it looks like my room is snowing.

2. My shoe size
They’re 10.5 but 11 in some shoes, since my feet are wider than Alex Guarnaschelli’s butt. Okay, I typically don’t joke about women and their physical appearance, but honestly I used to think that she was really (really) attractive in some weird way. I ended up looking her up on Google to see how legit she is as a chef since she’s so critical as a judge, but lets just say I learned a new metaphor. I’ve heard of female body types being compared to a Coke bottle, or an hour glass. Here’s a new one, how about an iceburg? (okay I feel terrible. I might delete this tomorrow. )

3. status
I’m still single, and I thought I was ready to mingle, but I guess not if they’re too pretty. I remember writing in here long ago that I’m still shy around pretty girls. Case in point: There was this cute girl in the culture show that I was too shy to introduce myself to at any point during the whole week . During one of our rehearsals, she fell out of her chair and she looked so embarrassed, but I thought it was the cutest thing. Poor girl, poor Joash. E-harmony is looking good right about now.

4. burger love
I have a friend from GW who fasted potatoes during Lent, because he loved anything made of potatoes, and had to eat potatoes every day. God’s been doing a lot of awesome things in my life, and in response I wanted to enter a season of prayer and spiritual discipline. I was thinking of ways in which I could fast, and for a brief moment I asked myself if I’m willing to fast red meat for 40 days. I trashed that thought as quickly as it entered my mind. That’s like asking a JMU girl to give up Uggs and leggings for 40 days this winter.

5. wiping technique

I guess I hurt my right wrist this weekend at the football tournament, but I didn’t realize how bad it was until I tried to wipe my butt this morning, and I whimpered “oww” like Charlie just bit my finger.  I thought of different ways to wipe, like using my left hand or maybe crumpling the TP like some gross, sick, savage people I know, but I just bit into a nearby towel and finished wiping. It felt like I was giving birth through my wrist.

That’s it for tonight. Some things always stay the same, like my grandmother’s hair style, or my dad’s morning breath, but there are lots of changes in my life too. Maybe I’ll blog about it sooner than later.
