let it snow

It’s been a pretty strange weekend…I don’t even know what to say. It had some pretty great moments and some pretty terrible ones, and all in all, I don’t know how to feel. Funny how the weather could create such strange social situations (alliteration!)…

One of things I realized though, is that it is so easy to be selfish. It comes so naturally, and it often even feels justifiable…and I have the hardest time getting out of the mindset where “it’s all about me”. I haven’t struggled with myself as much as I have currently, which is a real “accomplishment”. I feel a bit like Jacob did when he wrestled with God…the sheer desperation. I want to wrestle God for more than a name though, and I feel like I’ve fallen knee deep in this fight for meaning, for something genuine.

On a different note, topics to be covered sometime this week:
1) Review of Waitress
2) The magic of Freaks and Geeks
3) Some thoughts on Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine
4) Some thoughts on the attention paid to the 2010 mascots
