Goodbye Lazarus, and other ramblings

   I want to preface this post with an apology, my mind was all over the place tonight and this is the result, relatively random wanderings.  Good Luck and Enjoy!

   I would like to say that I am not one for fantastical thinking, but that is probably as much of a lie as the cake is. I have had a very, bi-polar week or so and I found myself thinking that maybe there is something at work either on me, or in me, that makes things this way. I know that the first thing that will pop into many of your minds is, "Oh, well that is evidence that God working in your life."  I want to make it very clear to you that I am not in any way discounting that.  It is very likely in fact, but I also want to just throw some thoughts out here that have been wondering around in my head.

    I started wondering about the importance of people. Specifically, why does it seem that some people make a bigger effect on Life (being those lives of everyone who touches them, so grand scale). It is as if there are a select few people whose presence alone can greatly change the way that others perceive life.  This is getting a bit confusing for me as well, so here is an example, Have you ever been around someone that within a few minutes of really talking with them you realize that you want to me more like this person?  or Have you ever notices that someone that you know seem to be the catalyst for exciting (be it good or bad) things to happen even when they are not seeming to even attempt for anything to happen?  Maybe, Maybe not.  But it seems to me that there are people in this world who the world forms itself around, not the other, more normal view of people adapting to their surroundings.

    That that was a bit more intense than I thought this blog was really going to end up.  I figured I would write about why my life has been bi-polar.  I suppose I will give you this at least.  My car Lazarus is dead (situational irony maybe), for good.  My bike went to the grave 2 days later and Found out some other family sad news. So it has been a pretty sad week or so. I also apparently almost got beat up at a party because I walked a friend home who was lost in the rain, I dont know why that pissed off some of the guys there but apparently it did.  That being said I have really had a very good week as I perceive it.  I have a couple of really good friends who do more things for me than I think they realize and I am happy that they are back in my life.

Saw this in Boston and got way too excited for it.  Thus I sent it to one of those close friends.
