Quick personal update...

So, I've been using World of Warcraft to get past some stuff in my mind.

Let me ramble for a second.

I know in my life I will always have tests, trials and tribulations. It's a bit annoying that some of them seem to repeat themselves.

Am I supposed to pass them in a better way? Some of these are really hard, and it doesn't depend solely on me, and it doesn't depend on God either, depend on other people. I get to a point there's only so much I can do, then time just has to pass... And things get back to normal.

I don't see how I can pass them much better than I have already. Maybe there is, since I'm on them, might as well try...

Anyway, back to World of Warcraft. 

Other than a couple American Football practices (which I skipped for a bunch of other reasons too) I haven't missed on any other social opportunity. Ok, I have cut on some time to write, organize myself and to think.

But I don't want to spend that much time thinking anyway. The stupid game allows me to be completely focused and distracted on something other than my repeated problems.

Also, it's fun to know people from other places. There's this dude from South Africa, that has a wife and a 4 yr old daughter that is really interesting.

He's sort of a stay at home dad, with his own IT company. My old self would think, "What a loser, a dude with all this is spending his days on a computer game...?", my new self is amazed that you can be a loving husband and father, and still be those kind of people that drown themselves on an hobby. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's not what I want for my life, nowhere near, but I can't judge it, really...

Something else I've been trying to implement in my life is to love everyone. Even my enemies. Not out of guilt, not because Christianity tells me to (well, sort of), but because I think I'll be happier if I can do it. It's the same as Forgiveness and Repentance. I think the genius of Forgiveness is to release the grip other people have on you. I think the genius of Repentance is to release the grip the past has over you.

It feels like God created us this way, and these Christian values are the secret to human nature and unlock everlasting happiness.

I think that's about it for today.

God bless you all.
