I haven't updated in a while...
so here's an update.

What are some typical questions that might arise when two friends meet after a long separation?
"How are you doing?"
Doing fine. My limbs are intact, my heart is functioning, my nerves feel hot and cold, I'm still fat.

"What have you been up to?"
Well, there's school, obviously. Physics midterm tomorrow, don't really know how to prepare, I guess I'll just do some problems later today. And there's lab right after the midterm, great. There's family, nothing really happening. My car was recently repaired for a big costly problem, but now it drives even better.

So there we go. The sun is in a very ridiculous spot this time of day. It is shining through my window, at a 2 o'clock position from my head. The glare, magnified by my glasses, is quite annoying.

"But really, Oscar, what's going on?"
I really don't like vague questions. You might as well have said, "how are you doing with God?" because that's a much better question to ask, in my opinion.
So how am I doing with God? I don't know, really. I seem to be slipping MORE than usual. If you are looking for a prayer request, here it is. I find myself feeling upset more than usual, my thinking is going to the wrong places again. I suppose, though, you could say that "performance" doesn't matter. However, the heart affects "performance", and there's a problem with my heart.
Not saying there was never a problem to begin with, mind you.

So what's the point of this post? I don't know.
===============================================================
Yes, I enjoy driving very much. It isn't about fuel economy, it isn't about cost of repairs. It's about the driving experience, the thrill I get every time I depress the gas pedal, the rush I feel every time I turn the steering wheel. It isn't about where I'm going, but how I get there. Cruising on the freeway, 80ish mph, passing cars on the freeway. Going to the mountains, gripping the apex of every curve, every hairpin, while staying on my side of the road (for safety reasons). It's the roaring of the engine every time it revs high and delivers torque to the wheels in preparation for a corner, it's the searching of the best angle to attack the corner at, it's the highest speed at which the car will stay planted as it moves through the corner, and it's the sling from the corner into the next that really gets me. Driving is not ordinary to me.

Halloween is coming up. What to do?
Also, Thanksgiving. But that's every single day to me.
