"Also, the sun rises and the sun sets; And hastening to its place it rises there again."~Ecclesiastes 1:5

 so i have changed the look and name of my blog. it's still the same address, but i've decided to head in a different direction with it. instead of just writing about random things that come to mind or the unimportant things that happen to me, i, superbob, will now focus attention onto expanding horizons.

i know that no matter where we may be living or at what stage in live we may find ourselves life can get pretty small. one of my biggest fears is routine, some people find a comfort in knowing what is going to happen tomorrow, but really i find that too much routine makes me a dull bob. sometimes, and recently a lot, i get into a certain routine and find that not only do i bore of it quickly, but i also start to think "what's the point?" or "is this all there is to life?" or "help! this can't be everything!" i become claustrophobic as my once seemingly important busy life becomes less important and more busy and my world starts to collapse around me and i find myself trying to dig my way out with a toothpick...

                                       ...ANYWAY...

                                                    ...sorry i got a little carried away...

anyway, i don't really want to spend this time bringing you into the dark corners of my silly mind, but i do want to help you understand just what i am trying to say.

have you ever been caught up in your life with school or work or family or church or whatever your world consists of and realized one day that it all seemed so small, so pointless and ever asked yourself "this is what life is all about? just day in and day out of this?" i don't know maybe i'm mental but this seems to happen to me a lot and so i decided that i am going to use this blog as a sort of outlet, an outlet away from the mundane ordinary. 

i have this theory that the more unimportant and small one's world is the more that person is likely to engage in gossip or petty arguments or the more likely they are to get caught up in worthless drama just to make their world seem more important. i have seen friends get forsake responsibility or engage in relationships that are inappropriate or do things that they would never originally even consider. i'm probably wrong about this, but it seems that i have witnessed this happen to a few people i know. saipan is certainly an easy place to forget that there is a world beyond itself. so the whole point of this blog is to remind myself (and anyone else who needs it) that there really is a world beyond here, that most of what happens in my life is really not worth as big a reaction as i usually give it and that there are whole other worlds where the sun also rises.

Amen, sister! You know, I was just talking to a friend a couple of months ago about how I wish I didn't react as big as I do sometimes. I don't consider myself an overly dramatic person usually, but sometimes I'll react to something and exaggerate it. Then people are like, "Man, it's not that big a deal" and then I have to get all awkward and say things like, "Well, I actually don't feel that way. I actually feel about four times less than that reaction made it seem."

FOUND YOU!!! It took massive amounts of looking, but you can't get away now!

Love your blog, chica. Sorry about Baby Barak.

Mal, I'm so the same way!

I agree. Being bored seems to get a lot of people into trouble.

I like the new name and concept. I think a lot of people have the same feeling you do.
