Adem Urinates In A Subway Parking Lot
The first thing I hate about blogs is the title. For some reason someone decided that the date was not an adequate expression of the contents within and that they should be summarized with a witty phrase. Well, some of us cannot come up with witty phrases and for that purpose, many of these titles will be the date or something completely random. I am beginning this blog because I am away from everyone that I usually come into contact with on a daily basis.
When I lived in New York, there were people that I was used to bumping into at the grocery store or seeing at a pub and we might refresh each other on how our lives have twisted and turned since the last time we'd seen each other. But seeing as I now live in Tennessee, that sort of thing doesn't happen. That being said, this blog will be me letting people in New York, specifically, know the comings and goings of my life in the south. Although, it should be noted, this blog is not limited to New York readers exclusively. That would be stupid. To lock down a steady theme for this blog seemed like too difficult a task, seeing as it intends to be full of any information that might remotely pertain to my life which is, to say the least, a vast stream of information. I have elected to call this blog "Trying On Skin..." because ultimately, that is what we are doing as we are growing up and into ourselves. People keep saying things to me like, "You don't sound like yourself" and "You don't sound like yourself." Why, even the other day someone said to me, "You don't sound like yourself" and I suppose this is just me trying on skin and trying to decide who I am in the flesh, and who I am in Christ and where these two identities ultimately collide. So some future "title's" might consist of things like "Adem Makes A Friend" or "Adem Learns To Dance" or "Adem Urinates In A Subway Parking Lot." Get excited, friends. Side note... Driving here was some 13.5 hours excluding the hour and a half I spent with my friend Matt in Lebanon, PA (we watched the new modern family- the valentines day episode is amazing) and I was drinking a lot of water (a trait i've recently developed. trait? habit? whatever.) Nonetheless, there came a point where I had to sort of shimmy my way into an empty water bottle and relieve myself of fluids. Wait, it gets better. So, the people at Subway in West Virginia were such turkey's (ironically enough, i had a turkey sub and it was amazing) that when I got back out to my car, I emptied the bottle in the parking lot. So 3 Cheers for being nice to your customer ordering the turkey sub because he just might be crazy enough to empty his pee bottle where you parked your chevy. We'll call this the end of the first blog. Worship service went well this past week... I didn't pee on anything. Humbly yours, adem
