Low on the Go!

well..how sad. the usual summer phenomenon is back. readership has plummetted from 80 hits a day to about 30...and it will soon plummet even more. it'll take all year to get back up to the 80s...although i think 80s were a new high in my blog readership. besides, i don't take too much stock in this...and if i do, well then this is a good hit to my pride. afterall, i don't really write for people..i simply want to record some of my daily random thoughts...which is probably why low on the go is like a box of chocolates. sometimes you'll get the really good nutty kind...and at other times you'll get the awful ones filled with cherries or something idotic like that. i just thought i'd post the sitemeter graph, because its almost linear in its decline, and it made me chuckle a bit.

in other news...it occurred to me that humans are constantly seeking excitement. Excitement in travel, excitement in courses we take at school, excitement in work and excitement in relationships. We're constantly looking for what will PLEASE us, even if we know its probably not the best for us. As a girl i observe this quite often in myself and in relationships my girlfriends have with guys--it doesn't surprise me when they choose the exciting and the "bad" over the solid, sturdy and dependable (caveat here, i'm sure this happens with guys as well..i just don't have as many guy friends in relationships). But at the end of the day, there is much to be said for the solid, the sturdy and the dependable. And who is to say that excitement and dependable are mutually exclusive? They aren't! But sometimes, when caught up in the hoohah of life, they may seem as such. Fads are exciting...i mean, kabbalah bracelets? come on! they were the RAGE. but after the excitement is over and the lust has gone, tell me what is left Madonna? Christianity on the other hand, is old..and for most passé. What a tragedy though, since if we looked past what society dictates it to be, we would see something simply exciting and revolutionary. This is, not unlike Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. The poor guy wasn't so great looking, and wasn't too charismatic. In fact, compared to Mr. Wickham, he was rather surly and boring. But at the end of the day, it was Mr. Darcy who captivated the hearts of the Bennet family, despite it taking awhile.

This is applicable on so many differing levels, and i realize this blog is really about nothing new for the general reader. But for myself it is a lesson i am learning once again in a sort of different form. there was once a time when i would elaborate on this, but some things are just too close to the heart, and i'm learning that my life is an intricate web to which many others are connected, so you will have to deal with the cryptic. That is, unless you can't stand it...in which case you can talk to me and perhaps i will deign to reply.

All in all though, there is something lovely about sturdiness and dependability. i am captivated by it. Perhaps it is so lovely because He was what we were made for.
