Trip 2: Gaborone– day 1.

Well, I'm feeling a bit better to day. We had a lovely church service. The organ was undergoing maintenance so we sang a cappella, and we didn't sound that bad. The sermon was the riveting fourth installment of 'Christian' by Andy Stanley. I think it could go without saying but; I was captivated. 

So anyway we're heading to Kang today. I think you'll recall from my earlier traveling related entry, we moved the S.B.T.P. office to the mall. We have to go through there on the way to Gabs, and since we're taking it easy on this trip, we just gonna stay the night. 

I'll write again once we get there—3:11pm.

Week: 129

Another comes and goes it seems. I have been deeply wrestling with thought of my coming birth day. Even though I know that it's over 6 months off, I can't help but wonder what all my come of it. "You're just being a worry wort!" right? What makes this such a big deal is that I'll be eighteen— that number which long I have dreaded. It's approach is Impending, with all of the stealth and design of a great-cat, the day comes. What shall I do if the permits do not succeed? I am terrified. I can think of no worse fate than to be shipped back to America, it would divide my being! Not unlike black cauldron of cold and dark and the depressions and vile vindictive vice, which I know well.

What can one do in these times, but hope that what Jesus has planed is somehow better than what I would hope/wish for? I'm not quite to tears yet, but they may come before I have finished penning this. For the first time in a long while, I can't see foreword. This makes me fearful.

If all goes well, we leave for Gaborone at mid-afternoon tomorrow. For my family; it is to be a holiday, but for me, it is a sign that The day, upon which my greatest woes and possible joys hang, from a thread.

I have not seen Bole in over a month except for a glimpse of him passing the gate. He is still alive, somewhere. But it's so freeing with out him, that I almost fear that he might return. Hopefully, I'll have more to share tomorrow. Maybe some good news! 

Good night.

Entertaining possibilities of inaction.

Well I have looked in to the video mode of blogging. It looks fun, exiting, and entertaining. I was thinking of doing one similar to the first few entries of the slender log called MLAndersen0, it would be simple to sit down and speak my thoughts in the stead of trying to remember every detail in the story whilst I type.

When I approached my dad on the subject, he thought I would try to make a V-log similar to Jonathen Fisk's show, Worldview Everlasting, which would also be fun, but that's a bit more "in the now" than what I want to do. He hasn't given me an answer yet, but even if he does say yes; I might not do anything. I have been dabbling of late with the idea of retiring my blog. 

The whole reason I started it was to see what one does and does not put on ones blog, so that I, through experience, could write a better horror story. It's not exactly the best reason ever, so I expanded. I decided that I would try to describe my home, Botswana, and we all know I have done it no justice.

I am not announcing any thing, just contemplating.

Something–something.

I think it's been about a week or two since I last wrote. The same old routine continues both mundane and arduous. It would be a lie to say that "I had for gotten" or "was too busy". The fact of the matter is that I simply cannot write consistently, because if I did it would just leave you reading the same old thing. Not as if I didn't want to write, and you have seen when I write for several days in a row how bland it can get. So, in a way I want to share my world with you, but in reality I can't do that the way that I set out to. Perhaps I could change my approach and do something more like a video-log, I don't know. And maybe I'm just tired and it's just the exhaustion talking ('cause that happens from time to time) so I'm not announcing any thing yet I'm just thinking about options. May be I just need some tea or coffee...

Week: 132

I didn't really do as much to day as I thought I would. But I did a lot of research into the nature of Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) and the Slender mythos, and I can say for certain, that I will be planing and structuring my games in a lot more detail than the first. I have a few ideas that I'm gonna scratch down and I'll revisit them when I graduate (hopefully that's before I'm in Nebraska). I'm also looking at blender. It just sounds interesting. I just hope I can make something interesting.
