I admit I am a shameless user.  I love the wordpress vibe.  It is mellow and cool like several other web sites that I am only familiar with because I am a shameless user.  This is what I mean:

first, I rarely think anyone is listening/reading what I say.  I am the equivalent of some of the quirkier people you might see on a busy urban street conducting a heated discussion with themselves.  I see this as shouting into the void, internet quixoticism.

second. because I tend to monologue, I see this as internet graffiti–I spray paint my words out on the wall of the net and do it art for art sake, hoping some waylayed passerby might think my “tags” are of interest

three.  there is a lot of cool stuff on the internet and I am not cool stuff.  i am middle age crazy.  the only caveat is I am crazy about my kids and by extension their welfare and by further extension the welfare of others, especially other children.

four. I don’t know how WP does what they do or how they make money out of it, but I know that I am not making them any money.  again, internet graffito artist.

five.  i don’t read as much as I should about what else is out there.  time. kids. busy.

which brings me to this,

tonight I looked around at some of the other stuff out there.  pretty cool.  but where is God?

why is there no God category on WP?  Is He hidden somewhere between hobbies and books?

We love Arrested Development and we tend to quote it a lot.  There is an episode where they stage Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam and George Sr. is supposed to be “God.”  He escapes and a woman cries out “there is no God!”  Funny, right?

Only even I can see that if our egoism, hobbies, obsessions are crowding out the Real God.

Something is missing.

Everything is lost…
