new blogging.

I have decided to embark on a freer way of blogging so as to be physically able to blog often (the goal being a daily blog). But from knowing myself (quite well for that matter), I most likely won’t be blogging daily. But in restatement, I hope to blog often.

I haven’t got much “done” lately. I really haven’t been working on much—that’s the main reason. Basically I’ve decided to take a break from music and writing, so I can slow down and “sit down with myself” (as I often call it) and do some maintenance.

I’ve been learning a lot of stuff recently. It’s seems like every time I see something, there’s something greater ahead. I don’t know how to accurately explain my life’s situation right now, because I’ve found out EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND recently that I don’t know how to explain things about my life and the way that I believe AT ALL. It get’s really frustrating. All I can explain to anyone right now is that Jesus saved me, but I think that’s enough for anyone to understand, so I don’t really let it bother me. I’m just gonna keep going along learning one more good thing after another.

From where I’m standing right now, I’ve basically decided that music definitely isn’t something I wanna go into for a living. I won’t ever abandon my musical abilities, but I definitely don’t want to go into a career that has much to do with fame making my living. I have a self-control problem with fame—another thing I’ve seen popping up everywhere recently. However, my music endeavors have reached as far as getting a hold of an acoustic guitar, and I’m really excited about it.

My book is being postponed. I got maybe a third two half way done, but it was hard work and I got really confuse about the direction I wanted it to go. So I’ve set it down for right now. My other prose projects right now are also being postponed—I am taking a break from a lot right now.

However, photography will still be worked on. I haven’t done much in the past week or two, but my better stuff will be posted on my newly opened photo blog (linked from the opening of my website www.pippenfamily.com/noah). I got a new camera for my birthday and am still waiting for it to be repaired so I can take some good pictures. Whenever I get the next paycheck I’m getting a wide-angle lens for the thing and I’ll be set.

I’m working on getting a lawn-mowing job on base for the lawn-moving service. I’m not really too sure what all I’ll be mowing, but I guess all lawns are the same thing—grass and weeds. It’ll pay pretty good too, especially if I get the 20 hours a week that it calls for. I can do it too cause I’m home-schooled. So I’ll be making about $500 a month and I KNOW I can save up for a car this way. Oh yeah, I got my permit last Tuesday. Driving’s alright.

I’ve been able to get my hands on a Nintendo NES and Super NES recently. I haven’t been playing them too much, all except for Link to the Past on SNES—almost done with it. For the NES I have Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, Mario 3, Metroid, Jeopardy, Spy Hunter, Dragon Warrior, Volleyball, Pin Bot, and Ghostbusters. For SNES I have Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country 2, Link to the Past, and Mario Kart. I’m not too much of a gamer, but I enjoy them every once in a while. I think I’m starting to turn into a “classic gamer” like Isaac. I just enjoy the old stuff better…

Anyways, there’s today’s blog.
