Colors In Array

Okay.

I'm finally writing one of these things again.

I'm not really sure why I haven't been keeping up with it.
Well.
Okay, that's a lie.
Honestly, I haven't had much inspiration/drive/desire to even write, which kind of sucks because I left you faithful readers with a huge cliffhanger.

I said I was gonna be more honest and then bam, I'm gone.
I'm like your favorite TV show that promises the goods and then the finale episode was a complete letdown.
Stupid television.

Well now it's premiere time.
Which is funny because school is about to start so that kind of makes sense.

A couple things before I get into this.

1. Go see Scott Pilgrim vs. the World if you haven't already. It's incredibly fresh and original.
2. I now have sandwich cutters in the shape of a Tie-fighter and the Millennium Falcon. If you don't know what either of those are...shame on you.

Okay so I'm in love with comic books.
I've been hearing about this awesome book called Blankets for a while but haven't found it in any store.

Cut to the other day when I walk into Barnes and Noble and find it in the graphic novel section.
It was also $30.00 (Whoops).
But.
It was well worth it.
I don't think I've been that emotionally moved by a comic ever.
It's 600 pages of amazingness and if you ever have the chance to read it...please do.

It's a story about growing up/relationships/love/heartbreak/lost faith and it has stuck with me ever since I finished the last page, and I'm not sure if that's what is giving me the inspiration to write this, or it's other stupid occurrences that these last few days have brought, but I'm loving it.

I took a break from this whole blogging thing because it was becoming kind of stagnant. I wrote a bunch, but it didn't really mean anything. Some of it did, but a lot of it was me talking just to talk, and I hate that. I wanted to write about stuff that I felt passionate about, and I think I'm finding out what that is finally.

During high school, the "adults" would always ask you what you had a passion for.
Some people knew.
I never did.
They'd go around the room and answers like ministry and politics would be said without hesitation, but when it came to me, I always hesitated. I mean...I liked missions trips and capital hill as much as the next person, but they were never passions of mine. I wouldn't even come up with an answer. I just didn't know. That usually came with some weird look from the teacher, but can most teachers say that they really have a passion for teaching and putting up with annoying teenagers all day?

Boom. Roasted.

Now, if I were have that question asked again at this very moment I wouldn't hesitate at all.
I'm in love with film.
I adore comic books.
And I'm passionate about love and finding great relationships.


So...ya...take that high school.
No one likes you anyway.

    I'm totally buying these.

    Plus: I'm in the same boat as far as finding what you're passionate about--and buying books far too expensive.
