Jeff's Jots

I've been thinking a lot these last couple days about anger. This was brought on by a converstion I had with a fellow chuch member on Sunday. (See Jeff's Journal for more on that). The discussion concerned the fact that I was protesting my exclusion from the church's practitioner internship program.... Sign in to see full entry.

Whenever I hear about couples who spend thousands of dollars and most of their emotional energy on trying to conceive a child, I just kind of stare blankly and go Huh? What? I must have missed a meeting or something. I don't get it. I'm now 44 years and 9 months old. 537 months. Fifteen thousand... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't want to sound like a bigot on Blogit but lately, I've really grown to hate Chinese. Food. I never was much of a fan. I used to eat Chinese about once a year and that was about right. That was before I met my girlfriend Lisa. The only people who eat more Chinese food than Lisa are the people... Sign in to see full entry.

Is it greedy or selfish to want a lot of money? I used to believe that it was. That's why I struggled financially most of my life up until now. Why should I have luxuries, I wondered, when so many people in the world are without neccessities? The flaw in my thinking was that I assumed, without even... Sign in to see full entry.

Later I realized, I hadn't been... Sign in to see full entry.

I hate banks I opened a checking account last week. You can't listen to the radio or watch TV more than 17 seconds without hearing an ad for this banks "free" checking accounts.

Since I'm approaching my one year anniversary on Blogit, I decided it was finally time to fill out my "about me" page. I know now why I put it off. It was hard work. The first thing it asked me to do was to tell the world about me. THE WHOLE WORLD! That's a lot of pressure. I almost gave up right... Sign in to see full entry.

You'd better enjoy my blogs now, because soon I might not be writing anymore. I don't think they let you blog from prison. And I may be on my way there. I've been doing something very naughty these past few days. I've been watching Lifetime. Television for women. I'm not a woman. I'm that other... Sign in to see full entry.

I apologize in advance if this blog isn't up to my usual standards. You see I'm feeling under the weather. And besides that I'm sick. I'm not sure what I have but I get it every few months. The major symptom is simply feeling weak tired and out of it. My head gets all foggy. It feels like someone... Sign in to see full entry.
