about nothing and everything.
these few words that i will spill into this post would be better utilized in the english paper i should be writing instead. however, im apparently procrastinating.
im going to tell you something:
Romans 12:3For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
this is something that has been in my head a lot recently. for good reason, im sure.
this might make no sense at all.
i was recently talking to someone who mentioned something that to me, is a complete waste of time. entertainment, none the less… and not “wrong”…. just in my opinion, non-constructive.
so does everything that we do have to be constructive? i wonder if my mentality was skewed when i was growing up. not that it means its a bad thing, but i tend to analyze everything in terms of what needs correcting or improving. what is or is not beneficial as though everything that is done needs to be so. i never really learned how to relax. how to just rest. and while all of my time isnt necessarily used in a focused direction (ie: random bits of time dispersed on internet, talking on phone, doing this that etc) there isnt a piece of time that i have set to the side to be my ‘time of rest’. and i need that.
lately it has seemed as though the days have muddled together, get up go to work, get up go to school, get up go to work, get up go to school, get up go to work, get up go to work, get up go to church. that is literally my week – and then it starts all over again.
i know it seems as though ive gone into different directions, here, huh? and i dont really have the desire to draw the connection.

Technically speaking, taking time to just rest can be constructive. Whether or not an activity is “constructive” depends on your definition of the term, and your assessment of the activity. Something someone else does that you deem a waste, may be to them what they do to relax, and recharge so they can give themselves some time away from thinking about their daily stresses. By the same token, things you find to be constructive, for whatever reason, may not appear so to the other person. Things you enjoy, like Twitter and facebook, are seen as complete wastes of time by other people. Likewise with writing and/or reading blogs. I think it’s important to recognize a broad definition of “constructive” and also realize that different people will have a different definition.

yes, justin.. i understand completely what your saying, and i agree; that was relatively the point that i was making,.. was that what that person was doing was “their” thing.
things i do like twitter, and facebook – are a complete waste of time even to me! =p LOL those are the things that i think i allow to take up my ‘free’ time without it giving me any ‘rest’ time
