Blogging… The Thing I Hate the Most.

As you can clearly see by the title of this post, I hate blogging.  Care to know why?  Allow me to begin.

There are several reasons as to why I hate writing blogs; the number one reason, though, is probably because of the simple fact that I just absolutely hate writing.  Now, if I were in any way at all a good writer, maybe I wouldn't mind it so much… but I am far from that.  For me, writing comes as a huge struggle.  I literally spend up to an hour just trying to think of a topic, or if I am given a specific one, then that hour is spent trying to figure out what to write about this subject.  Writing is definitely not my forte.

The previous paragraph was more so concerning writing in general, so this one will be focused more specifically on blogging.  Having to write blogs, in my opinion, is a complete waste of my time.  There are so many other, more important things that I could do within the time frame that it takes me to actually finish writing a blog.  Also, I don’t exactly see the importance of writing them… I don’t understand why I have to put aside time to write them pretty much every week.  I know that the reason behind them is probably a very good one, I don’t doubt that… I’m just not able to see it yet.

Blogging is stressful.  I honestly don’t see how some people enjoy it so much… some to the extent that they will take it on as a career.  But hey, all the more power to them.  While blogging could cause people like this to rise to the top, for me… blogging will be my downfall.

Moving

I’m moving.  Finally, after four long years of trying, our house has sold.  In all honesty, we never thought that this day would come.  I mean, after four years how could we?

At first, we were ecstatic; we could not believe that this was actually happening to us!  However, that initial excitement has dramatically decreased… and our house sold just last week.

Everything is happening way too fast.  As I already said, our house only sold last week, but we are expected to be out of our house and into a new one in less than a month.  We are having trouble with this… we have found practically no houses that are close by to fit our desired qualities.  We want a house that is actually big enough for all five of us, we want to stay in Person County, we don’t want to live in a subdivision again, and most of all, we want land… we want a lot of land.

Considering our time limit and the lack of preferred properties, my parents are thinking that they will just end up buying a plot of land and building the house that they want on it.

Even though it took four long years for us to get to this point…four years full of disappointing outcomes in regards to our house selling, now that it has sold, the wait was well worth it.  Despite the fact that moving has proven itself to be a hard and stressful task, we cannot wait for the day that we will finally be in our new house.  We are so ready.    

"Hero" -- Skillet

This song, in my opinion, could have two meanings… one understanding could be that it is speaking of Christ, while the other could be seen as one’s own inner strength.  I feel like an individual’s religious views could determine the way in which he/she interprets this meaning.

If you look at this song in the sense that it is referring to Christ, then I feel like the artist is trying to show how fed up we can come to be with the world that we live in; how we can become so broken that we finally realize that we need something greater than ourselves to live.  We recognize that we need a hero to save us… from ourselves, and everything else that is around us.  We see that we need Christ to be our strength in life… that we need to give in to the power of God and allow Him to take us and become our hero.

Now, looking at this song from a non-religious perspective, I think that the artist is trying to show that common, everyday people can do amazing things.  I feel like this song is saying that when times get tough, and when things in this world become too great to handle, we want to wait on a hero to come and save us.  However, when this “hero” is needed the most, we can rise to the occasion and our own inner strength will prevail.  It will show itself when the time is right.  This interpretation of this song is ultimately saying that anyone, absolutely anyone, can be a hero.
