I confess that I am bothered by the inclusion of pedestrian tweets and Facebook status updates in the category of \u201cnews.\u201d Those things might be news coming from a public figure or an expert, but when the anchor says, \u201cJohn from Hiawatha says\u2026\u201d it feels out of place to me; forced; as though they are trying too hard to be relevant.<\/p>\n
I confess that I think relevancy is overrated and might be a dangerous thing toward which to direct our energy.<\/p>\n
Speaking of energy, I confess that I have been less than energetic after 8:30pm. I used to be able to make myself sit down and work in the evenings once in awhile. Sometimes I\u2019d crank out 3-4 hours of writing. I think that at this point I\u2019m just being lazy.<\/p>\n
I confess that I think most of the BCS Bowl game matchups seem a little bit lacking. After Alabama\/Notre Dame, K-State\/Oregon, then next best game is easily the Cotton Bowl with OU\/A&M \u2013 a game I cannot wait to see. 16 team playoff anyone?<\/p>\n
I confess that I\u2019ve spent countless hours sitting next to Nicholas watching football games this season. When I am old and fading, it will be one of the things that I remember most about his childhood. I\u2019m sad to see the season winding down because I never know if next season he\u2019ll finally be too big for it.<\/p>\n
I confess that Chandler Bing (also known as Miss Chanandler Bong), is one of my all-time favorite sitcom characters. Ever since then I\u2019ve kept up on whatever TV series Matthew Perry works in. He was great in a short stint on the West Wing & incredible opposite Bradly Whitford in Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (an amazing show that never should have been cancelled). I actually liked Mr. Sunshine, but apparently nobody else did. I\u2019ve caught 5-6 episodes of \u201cGo On\u201d and have to confess that I don\u2019t love it. I watched one w\/the wife last night & it was okay, but I can tell when a sitcom is aimed at women & I am not a part of this shows target audience.<\/p>\n
I confess that I need to reorganize my hard drive space. I need to purge a ton of files, move some old pictures off my hard drive and to an external storage. There is so much stuff, it just feels like too daunting of a task.<\/p>\n
I confess that I judge people who have confederate flags on their cars as license plates or bumper stickers. I try not to, but I can\u2019t help myself. Every time I do this I know \u2013 in real time \u2013 that I\u2019m guilty of the same exact thing I judge them for. So I usually end up having to give and seek forgiveness in my own mind at the same time.<\/p>\n
I confess that I\u2019ve been listening to A Tree Grows In\u00a0Brooklyn on audio book for the past two weeks a I run everyday. It\u2019s a phenomenal book.<\/p>\n
I confess that I didn\u2019t enjoy school until seminary \u2013 now I wish I could always take classes.<\/p>\n
Okay people \u2013 I made my confession, now it\u2019s time for you to make yours!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
