its been too friggin long...

boy do i ever agree with that.... it has been way too friggin long since the last time i wrote an entry on this here blog of mine. i'm not sure why, but i really haven't felt much like writing on it; sad huh? i would be quick to say that i've been feeling this way because of being back in the creative vacuum that is Waterloo, IA, but that would be a huge cop-out. granted, it is exponentially harder to be/feel creative here than it was in London, but ultimately i am the only one to blame for letting my creative side atrophy; i'm the lazy one. hopefully, things will change here soon as i am moving into a group of apartments downtown which is part of a development to focus on the arts here in Waterloo and to further the establishment of a 'creative class' here in town. i will be living in a building of loft apartments with 5 other artists, which will be incredibly cool/beneficial. also, i hope seeking schooling in graphic design will help me work my creativity out of dormancy. see, being creative, having creative thoughts, is essential to me, to my health as a person. when i was in London it seemed quite easy for me to be creative, for multiple reasons, i'm sure. so, it was really hard to move back here and have nothing going on, have no great ideas of videos i could put together, no further thoughts on what God could be calling us to do about rethinking what His church looks like/acts... being back has been like being in a drag race and going from 100 mph to shifting it to neutral. i hope/pray that i will be able to get it back in gear soon.
