| ... one day back at Tech, and I just stop posting. That's so crazy how that happens. Busy semester, yeah? Anyway, I'm up at Kentucky for the week ... Transylvania University (visiting the lovely lady), you know. Good times.
I guess I'm just writing here to feel alive on Xanga. I'll be back with more at some point in my life.

| I'm past the guilt of my sell-out business. It happened, and now it's over.
I've come to discover a couple of things in the very past lately. As some of you may know, my best friend returned two days ago from South America. After almost six months, his feet returned to American soil. I was there to greet him. I can't begin to describe just how much I missed that man. Caleb Taylor Duvall Hurst. It astounded me to see what a different person he has become ... how God has completely got inside him and worked him into who he is today.
We spent the whole weekend together, reminiscing and catching each other up on the events of our lives. It was amazing to hear what he had to say, what he went through while in Bolivia, Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina (among others, I'm sure). He also dropped a ton of weight. That was weird to see too. It was good, mind you, but ... weird.
Whatever the case, I was at his house all weekend with him and his family and some friends down in Fayetteville. Being down there made me understand something. Everything is changing around me, all of the time. There's nothing I can do to change that. Even I am in a constant state of motion. However, when I look at it objectively, there are still some things to which I can return where I will always feel home; I will always feel welcome, as though the harsh erosion of time has not affected this quiet place in any way, shape or form. It's funny, you see, because even though Caleb is the one who ventured back from a long time away, I too feel like I have returned home.
It was good to be home ... even if just for a weekend.

| Okay, so I'm done. I'm really sorry that happened, and almost feel the need to post five random things to wash the taste out of my mouth and off my front page.
Whatever the case, maybe this is just a post as an effort to do just that. I don't really have anything on which to write; I'm just writing.
Whatever.

| Okay, so I'm a sell-out. I'm blogging about my scariest nightmare. I am somewhat ashamed. However, I figure it will be enjoyable, and maybe I'll simultaneously get some psycho-analysis in the process. I'm not one to remember my nightmares, and seldom do I recall my dreams, but the one that has always stuck out to me is the reason why strobe lights and stop-motion animation freak me out to this day.
The big picture is somewhat foggy, but certain parts stick out like a sore thumb. I suppose I was about seven when I had this dream. The animation was very choppy, resembling a stop-motion picture or something taking place in strobe lights. It was in black and white, and I was inside a Dracula-esque castle. A violent storm was brewing outside, and the lightning shone spasmodically through the windowpanes at uncertain intervals. I began to ascend the stairs of a spire in said castle when my gaze turned upward to the ceiling of the structure. A man (dead, I assumed) was spread out and nailed to a chandelier on the ceiling, and he was staring at me with cold, panicked eyes.
Okay, so that was a pretty short dream. Not only that, but it probably didn't sound too terrifying (although dead people nailed to chandeliers isn't something to be expected out of a seven year old). Whatever the case, I have sold out and had a good time doing it.
Thus, I shall rest and commence the glory that is Sweeney Todd on Blu-Ray DVD!!!!
