Inappropriate Questions

As most could have guessed from my blog, I get a lot of my inspiration from people around me. Today's blog is no different thanks to facebook. I was looking through my news feed and couldn't ignore the post that I saw. Priceless.

This post got me thinking. It can be annoying when people assume that they can do, ask, tell, or suggest something personal to you when they haven't earned the right to do so. It happens to me sometimes. Scratch that. It happens to me a lot.

So how do I deal? Well, I've learned that being rude is not the answer.
No matter how off-putting, annoying, vexing, or unsolicited the advice/suggestion/life-change idea may be, I just remind myself that they mean well. My god do they mean well.

Grin and bear it. Oh, and don't be one of those people that makes a dramatic, ambiguous post on facebook book about it. Tweet it, duh.

I'm A Dreamer, So What?

Dead Baby Pigs + the royal wedding

Creepy blog title, huh? just pretend you're interested, ok?


One of my co-workers and I have started to smell this sour, repugnant smell. Little did we know, the school that meets down the hall is dissecting dead. baby. pigs. Needless to say, this got me thinking, and this random, nonsensical blog ensued.

Three new developments in my life:
1. Twitter is the new Facebook. Myspace is dead.
2. My girlfriend and I have been dating 1 year, 26days. (I had to do the math, I didn't just know that.)
3. I still don't feel like an adult.

So, Leah (my girlfriend, who I just realized I have never blogged about) is legit freaking out about the royal wedding. Leah's planning this whole night where her best friend, her best friend's boyfriend, Leah, and I will stay up and watch the ceremony. It's a big deal. Being the kind, awesome boyfriend that I am, I have to buy her a Royal Wedding Party Present, right? It's on it's way as I type. She's going to flip!

Alright, back to the dead. baby. pigs. I forgot my whole point with that train of thought. You make up something about not being able to control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it. Something like that. Circumstances don't define you. How's that?



Five things you can do if you're bored:
1. Find me on facebook.
2. Follow me on Twitter.
3. Follow this blog.
4. Leave a comment on this post.
5. Have a genuinely awesome day.

The Show Goes On

just pretend you're interested, ok?

Well, I finally did it. I hit the "New Post" button.
And I have something to say... the show goes on.

I'm twenty-two years old, I love Jesus, I'm a sad excuse for a student, I'm a graphic designer, I'm an [interim] worship pastor, for some strange reason I still want to be an actor, my album is on pause now... and I have no idea what the heck I'm doing.

I've been in a really confusing place. Half of me knows what I want my life to be like, the other half has no idea. Some could say it's my age. I'm twenty something. I don't even know who I am yet. This will pass.

That may be true, but it doesn't really help. However, what does kind of make it comical is that I'm pretty sure at least one of the thousand people that have taken a look at this blog might just feel the same way.

So yeah, I have no clue. But, the show is going on. The only thing to do is wake up, put one foot in front of the other, choose to be positive, and pray that I get it right eventually. I know this entry may come off as morose, but I'm laughing as I write this.

Even though my emotions aren't co-operating, I'll say this, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." And you can, too. We can.

Well, that's all. I wanted to take a shot at honesty on this blog. I figured you'd appreciate it more than the blog on my love/hate relationship with Starbucks I was planning.

If you're in the dark and wondering when you'll see the sun know this: you'll see the sun, the show goes on, and you're not alone. I promise.

I'm busy, but happy.

Breaking news: Joseph Drinkard is alive. I can honestly say that I have never been busier in my life. However, I can, with upmost sincerety, say that I have never been happier. So much is going on!

A few days ago, I auditioned for a new Channing Tatum movie, "21 Jump Street". Click the link to view so more info on iMDB. I'd play "Delroy", one of the nerds that helps hack a cell phone to wire tap it. Keep your fingers crossed. If all goes well, this could be the biggest role I've had so far. I try not to think about it too much. It stressed me out!

In other news, I've been working on my album and things are going spectacularly! If you like a tight beat so a few vocal runs now and then, I think you'll really dig what we're coming up with.

Right now, I'm enjoying the finer things of Greek culture and a night to myself. Life is good. Friends are good, and God is great.
