The strong silent type

I am in Calgary. It is hot. I got the job in Revelstoke. I work from June 26 'til end of August. I will hopefully work in Calgary until then. I am writign short sentences. This reminds me of a joke:

The shortest sentence in the english language:
I am.
The longest sentence in the english language:
I do.

Ha ha ha! Many of you may ask: Is that a Mitch Hedburg Joke? And my answer is: NO. However, this is:

I was writing a letter to my dad, and I went to write, "I really enjoy being here dad.", but instead of writing really, I wrote rarely. But I wanted to use it anyways, so I wrote, "I rarely drive steamboats dad. Quit trying to pretend that I am a steam boat operator."

And so is this:

At the end of letter I write: PS- This is what a part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

And one more writing related joke by Mitch Hedburg:

As a comedian I come up with jokes for a living. So when I'm in my hotel room, and I think of a joke, I write it down. But if the pen and paper are too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of really wasn't funny.

Well, I am not doing so swimmingly. My mind has been plagued with many doubts. Now they don't feel like the classic kind of doubts.. just more or less the confusion doubts. There is so much to know and understand that it gets frustrating. And I haven't been let in on the secret on how to move information from your brain to your heart. I guess I probably have been let in on the secret... but I just haven't noticed... or maybe it hasn't sunk into my heart yet. A lot of you may know me as a great guy and all... but I don't think I am. There is a lot of stuff that I do and think that nobody sees. I know everyone has all of those things too. Which just shows us how much more we need God's grace.

I just feel kind of down. I don't feel great about myself, and I tremble at the thought of everything I am going to have to do and live through on Earth. I know that this is a pesimistic view... but it just seems that life will be this constant battle all the time, and it will just suck. I can't stand the thought of me doing things that will hurt myself and others... I kind of feel trapped in my skin, and I want to get out!

Anyways, Have a nice day everyone!
