I'm finding my break increasingly ironic. I have all this time with which to do all the things that I've wanted to do all throughout the semester, yet I find myself doing nothing, and not really wanting to do anything. Except I'm bored and want to do something, but I have no clue what. I've finished watching all my Buffy seasons and it takes an effort to get back into it.

It takes an effort to make myself do anything really. Which annoys me, but does nothing to aleviate the problem. I think it's funny that when I suddenly have time for everything, I end up doing nothing. Such is the way of things though.

I do know I'd rather like to get a hold of Heather over break and maybe do something with her. Gaming, or coffee, or anything really. I just have to find out how to find her... I'll have to ask Clayton about that. I also want to stop by Luke and Andrea's and bring them some cookies, but I find myself skittish to do so. I have mental walls about just going out and doing things, especially just dropping by places. I like having preset invites and times. I wish I was more bold at times, but this is how I am, and I must do with what I am given.

Dude, I so have to get this.

And by this, I mean this, which I already wanted, but then I saw the preview they did for it and it simply kills me. Plus, anything that uses whatever song that is has got to be one of the coolest things ever. Seriously. Ever. Really.

Apologetics

There is a serious lack of decent speakers on christianity of late. Also, pudding, but that's a discussion for another time. I tend to surf various sites that discuss apologetics and the like, and it seems to me that there really aren't many really good writers on the matter anymore. At least, not quite on the level of people such as C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton, for these two people I find quoted often, and with good cause. Both men have been dead for a good many years now, and there seems to be a lack of really thoughtful stuff like that of which they wrote.

I suppose I can understand this though, given the way education is anymore. Man alive, but people like C.S. Lewis had amazing educations. Our society lacks in this anymore. It tends to focus more on being and teaching p.c. crap rather than actually educating us. And the bustle of things really gives little time to truly sit down and contemplate. My physics teacher once told us of how Newton came up with the most brilliant of things when his college shut down and he had to go live on his farm for a few years. He said that those years of nothing but thinking were more productive than anything he ever did after that. Life anymore is not built for those who would like to slow down and think. I can't imagine just how much valuable brain space ads alone take up and clutter up.

There are some rather good writers on the subject of christianity, to be sure, but I don't know, they don't seem to have the spread that some of the older ones do. Perhaps it is merely a matter of time.
