  • I had composed three paragraphs of pure nonsense in several days; I kept them "private"; I just now erased them, because they were even more senseless than the senseless drivel I am sometimes wont to...drivel.


    Sometimes I feel the need to write something, but I don't know what to write. Either that, or I know I need to write something, but I'm not brave enough to do so, and I end up writing something else. Why be serious when last week's vote results of So You Think You Can Dance? and the fact that I'm choosing to listen to Christmas music in July are perfectly good topics of discussion?


    Drivel.


    So what shall I say? I MUST say that I was impacted by Bethany Blanchard's last post. I guess I'm one of those people who, as she describes, "...are utterly confused by their experience of god, and yet love him or at least want to very much, and are determined to make something of their relationship with god while feeling like they have nothing left in them but to walk away, and hate how far they've come in a confusing or detrimental path and yet can still make jokes about it..."


    I've come to a simple yet profound realization lately: people need friends. Correction: I need friends. Accepting applications now. Please email any and all applications, inquiries, jests, barbs or praise to andrewjespersen@gmail.com


    Hmmm, what else? Yeah, that's about it. I'm at work, so I shouldn't be wasting too much time.


    Love to all ~Drew

  • I like friends. I've decided it's my purpose in life to make them, help them, & keep them. I suppose that may be my legacy- probably not a financial fortune, but there's a lot of love!

  • sometimes i listen to classical on a sunny day.  my sister once made fun of me for that.  classical isn't for a sunny day, she said.  i told her that my mood determines my music, not the time of day.  so i guess you're feeling like it should be christmas in july.  i find it entertaining just thinking about tjhis scene.  who else around me in traffic could be experiencing the same nostalgia?  or maybe not.  it could very well be JUST YOU.  yeah, me at a light, and i happen to look over to see some mid-twenties canadian guy in a small car rocking out, and when he rolls his window down to throw his peanut shells out the window, all i hear is "jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way." 

  • Call me, buddy!

  • i like christmas music in July.  they played it at breakfast the other day (i'm still at summer camp) and it made my morning.  i also like to hear your deeper musings, even if it means vulnerability vs. drivel.
