Uninspired

January 23, 2012

I told myself I would blog more regularly even when school gets crazy. So here I am blogging.

I was smart enough to start several posts months ago when I was feeling inspired. I was also stupid enough to not finish them at that time and now I’m not inspired to finish anything.

I’m still blogging because I said I would. But after my weekend of crazy school stress (a hair-pulling story for another day) and too much family time (Shiloh turns into a brat when my parents visit for some reason), I don’t have anything to say. So I’m going to leave you with a quote that I find amusing.

It isn’t inspirational or spiritual or anything, but I like it. I think I like it because it fits me. It would probably apply to most people.

“If my former self and my current self met for coffee, they’d get along OK, but they’d both probably walk out of Starbucks shaking their heads and saying to themselves, ‘That guy is kinda delusional.’” – A.J. Jacobs

Okay readers, help me out here. Can you make up for my lack of inspiration today?
If your former and current self met for coffee, what would the reaction be?

    I’d be telling myself that time hasn’t changed much and that I should be doing a lot better. “Grow up already!” or in other words delusional.

    I’m with you. I haven’t been inspired to blog in a very long time. So here I go again.

    Glad to see you’re still juggling school and life pretty well. Shiloh has grown to be a very pretty girl.

    I don’t thin they’d recognize each other! ;)

    It depends on which former self met my current self. Several of mine would think I was an old fogie now. My current self would think several of them needed to grow up and get a life.

    I’ve left you blog bling at my blog today.

    Where did you find that quote? Have you read any of A.J. Jacobs books? He’s pretty funny if you ask me.

    My former self say would say of my current self, “You’re not as fun as you used to be!” ;)

      Keri, I read his book… I can’t think of the name at the moment… the one where he tried to follow the Bible literally for a year, on your recommendation. I got the quote out of the book. I enjoyed his book.

    My former self probably wouldn’t meet me – he was kind of a loner… :)

      Dustin, haha! That’s great.

    oops meant to say: Former self would say, “I don’t know…”

    First, we would meet for a Diet Dr. Pepper not coffee (I don’t drink it). But i think my current self would tell my former self, “You were such an idiot. Why did you do what you did?” Current self would say, “I don’t know. I didn’t have you around to tell me any different.” Hindsight is always 20/20. :) Hope you have a good week Jenn.

      Bill, we are going to have to convert you… to coffee that is. :)

    I’m gonna have to be boring but I really think they’d both say exactly the same thing as in the quote! I don’t think they’d dislike one another, though.

      That’s okay Ness, my current and former self would say the same also, so I guess I’m boring too. I agree though, I don’t think I would dislike myself either.
