So its not really a goodbye, just more of a myspace fast.
To better prepare myself for Yoga Teacher Training, I am going to not log on Myspace until February when I graduate. So far its pretty nice. I feel a little twinge of regret for my hasty decision bc now I cant add all the cool people I've met until after YTT.
I mean, nothing is really set in stone. I might log back on to add some pictures. So maybe then I can add all the cool people I've recently met.
But during class, we were told about the whole rich guy getting to Heaven being harder than a camel going through an eye of the needle. And the story follows that most cities were walled up in the times of Jesus. And some of the doors into the city were too small for camels to just stroll through. So the camel would not only have to unload its pack, but also get down on its knees to get inside the walls of these cities. (Get it? Much like the rich guy getting into Heaven). Anyways, the parable really spoke to me when I heard it spoken in that way.
So a few days later, I was driving. And I just had the thought come into my mind that I should not log on myspace anymore.
Its not that Myspace is "bad", its just that my relationship to Myspace is bad. Just as in the parable: its not that our possessions are bad, but our relationship to them. But instead of going home to do something productive (like watch tv?) I would get on Myspace for another hour or so. Neglecting my duties of working out, cleaning my room, eating, (watching TV), etc.
So I think this break will be good for us.
I also think its good because I see how much a lot of those people dont REALLY give a rat's ass about me. And we all basically use each other for entertainment purposes.
Yeah, so two days and counting (more like 1 and a few hours). Ummm, 120 more days to go.
