Really, It’s Me

June 16th is my birthday… I’m pretty excited. I’ll be 20 years old, can you believe it?!

doldrums |ˈdōldrəmz; ˈdäl-; ˈdôl-|
plural noun ( the doldrums)
low spirits; a feeling of boredom or depression : color catalogs will rid you of February doldrums.
• a period of inactivity or a state of stagnation : the mortgage market has been in the doldrums for three years.

Thank you Apple Dictionary. Anyway, I’ve kind of been in somewhat of a rut. I have writer’s block. I mean, I pay for this blog and care about putting myself out there, I just wish I made more of a difference had had more interaction. Like, what sort of stuff do you all want to hear about? Is there any specific direction I should take this blog in? Should I start writing songs and slash or poetry? I’d be down for anything.

Random thought: I think I’m going to begin writing a story, yeah. I’m quite the prolific writer you know. I have 3 books currently with over 3 copies in print. My first book was when I was very young and I called it “The Sock Book.” Sort of like See Spot Run meets a how-to video in book form. This book’s protaganist leads the reader on the adventure of discovering great verbs, which is a very noble task indeed. My second book was called “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.” A great adventure story from Wolf’s perspective, this narrative highlights misconceptions of Wolf and the truth about the Little Pigs. It’s wonderful. My last book is called “Why Nigel Likes Chicken.” If I recall correctly (and that’s a stretch, I don’t remember this book from the 8th grade much… I need to find it and pull it out I guess), this story’s main character is named Nigel. He can use magic and has to use a magic sword to destroy the evil guy. I think. Anyway. That’s my lenghtiest book and the 2nd hardback. All three are self-published works written and illustrated by yours truly. If you want one, shoot me a line, maybe I’ll scan them and make PDFs.

And now for an awkwardly abrupt ending. Goodnight.

Yup, it’s that time again, I’ve written a short little blurb of random thoughts from last night (Wednesday)! Check it out and link to me, okay? I’ve got to get the word out of what I’m doing.

See my last post.

I added a Google Analytics plugin to my page and signed up for a GA account, and it works like a charm. Thanks all.

Does anyone in the blogger community know of how to do this? I have no data on my subdomain, and my Google searches turn up nil. Maybe I’m not searching correctly, but my stats seem like to me that they’re just effective for my top level domain of http://canaanchapman.com.

Does anyone know where or how I can remedy this?

So this image above is my “Summer Internship Blog” that I created specifically to keep people enlightened to what I’m doing throughout the summer. I’m wanting to go on full-time, but I’ve had to raise my own support. I began a letter writing campaign, and those are in the mail, and now I can only trust God to help me raise those funds. I thought about sending a picture or something with the letter, but I created this website instead. No Twitter, no links, no frills, just ministry. It will house all my prayers, praises, and goings-ons of the summer in the LifePoint student ministry, which I think will help anyone who graciousally supports and gives to me buy into the vision of me wanting to DW (do work) for the Kingdom.

Anyway, check it out now at: http://intern.canaanchapman.com
Bye,

I just returned from seeing Star Trek.

It’s become one of my top favorite movies of all time now. Really. I’ve been a long-time Trekkie since birth. I own every single episode of The Original Series on VHS for goodness sake. My DVD collection is great too for the newer series. I’m quite critical, but following the hype of Star Trek for a long time now pretty much sold me on it though. Tonight, after much anticipation, I got to see the movie with my dad and a whole row of LifePointers.

I was connected from the outset. Big bag start and great pace throughout. The whole movie was amazing. It was great, I don’t have enough words for it at all. I don’t really like movies all that much, but I loved this movie and will see it again.

The only thing is: what was up with Uhura and Spock? I just don’t get their relationship. Someone explain that to me, thanks.

I’m going to go mellow out and sit and contemplate this movie high I’m on. I love the cinema, just for movies like Star Trek.
