Walk The Line
I saw the movie Walk the Line a couple of weeks ago. I really did not know much of anything about Johnny Cash. (Wait, you ask, weren't you quoting him a little while back? ...Well, maybe. Sort of.) Anyway, a friend of mine was explaining to someone that they went in with low expectations and were pleasantly surprised. I countered that I went in thinking it was going to be the best movie that I had seen in a long time, and I was still pleasantly surprised. It was simply excellent.
I would certainly not claim that the details of my life remotely resemble those of Mr. Cash, but I definitely saw a lot of the same themes. So perhaps you will not get as much out of it as I did, but this movie could not have come at a more appropriate point in my life. I guess you could say that I feel like I too am walking a line.
Also, see if you can track down the video for "Hurt" online. It will make you cry.

You know, Lilly, I frequently do not understand what you are talking about. At other times, I get annoyed when it seems that you have entirely missed the point of what I was talking about.
This comment actually made me angry, which is not generally considered to be an easy thing to do.
Yes, I wonder what and whether God has anything to do with any of it. I wonder that nearly every waking hour of every day. It is the lack of conclusion to that very question which causes the maddening frustration I so often find myself in.
That, of course, is not your fault. So I apologize for being so harsh. You are, after all, my most frequent commenter, and the whole purpose of this site is to invite feedback. Otherwise I am merely talking to myself.

i'm not suprised you don't understand half my points, nothing to do with you though, you have no context to understand them in, you are not reading my blog site, and you don't know me... and most of the time your 'point' is not what is interesting to me, but the progression of how you came to that point.
angry
i was angry when i wrote it
not at you
at the fight i found myself in
i can see how it would make you angry and i'm glad you can see that is not my fault
it seems to me that you are stuck in an argument within yourself, an unprovable and unending argument. honestly it looks like tring to find god seems more important then finding yourself, or maybe it is that if you can find god's place you will find your own. you seem sure of finding something but you don't know what that something is... right now and for a while now it seems god might be what you are looking for, but it doesn't seem to me that you are any closer to seeing god as the something. the question to me is why is god anything to you tim? when did you decide that god was important enough to go in search of? i think you have come a long way in understanding why other people think god is important...
writing on a blog site is not, i repeat not, talking
i think it is safe to say that the vast majority of writing done is people writing to themselves
talking is an entirely different beast, and if you wanted to talk to me you have the means to find out my number and call me.
