Tally-Ho or It's Only Gay If You Like It

I've been writing this entry for three days.

Don't ask me why. Maybe it's because I just didn't have a whole lot to say. Nothing remarkably interesting happened this week. Nothing great happened to me, nothing horrible happened to me. It was a frustrating week, but not so much more frustrating then usual.

Maybe it's because I originally started this entry by saying, "I'm writing again. Holy shit I'm writing again." Maybe that sort of jinxed me.

Maybe it's because I had such an awesome weekend and used up all my good favor on that.

Maybe it's because I think my last entry was particularly kick ass and you can't win them all.

Maybe it's because I pissed God off by joining MySpace. And God hates MySpace.

I really don't know why to be honest with you. All I know is that I've been writing this shit for three days and it's still just that...shit.

But since I really liked the title I figured I'd just say something so I could run with it.

So here goes...

Wednesday night I stopped by the Youth Group meeting for the kids who just went through Antioch. In the 12 years since my first Antioch this is the first time I've done that. I've been to other meetings, open youth rooms, Antioch events...but I've never stopped in at the kids first meeting right after Antioch.

I don't know why that is.

I didn't need an excuse to stop by, didn't need any other reason...I just wanted to. I wanted to say hello, I wanted to see everybody. I missed them. So I showed up.

There are a lot of things going on in my life right now, same as always. It's not always in a good way, but I'm a busy guy. I got to hang out with some of my best friends on Saturday night and got to see some of my new friends on Wednesday night. I'm a busy guy...but there's always time.

So we were talking about things the youth group is going to do and the one kid asked me, "Well what if only two people show up." And I said, "Well I'll be one of them, so we're still going." And then he said, "Well what if only one person shows up?" And I said, "Well than that will be me, and I'm still going." And then he said, "Well what if no one shows up?" And I said, " That will never happen...because I'll always be there."

And I kind of laughed because, it's kind of true.

They're a special group of kids.

I recall once saying that if I was ever lucky enough to run into any of them it would undoubtedly be the highlight of my day. But, I was wrong...it was the highlight of my week.

Tally-Ho...
