Flawless babble from the single most important human being ever to walk the earth.
Slowly becoming more comfortable with who I am now, enabling others to slowly accept that I’ll never be THAT Jorge again.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Is it normal to be terrified of achieving your dreams in life?
This is going to be such a mellow blog, I can already tell.
You’ll (possibly) remember my obnoxiously long entry from a month and a half ago, where I confessed to a new perspective in life. I listed some of my frustrations with the basics of christianity (the religion I was raised with, like most everyone else it seems). I talked about my wife, who is intent on remaining a believer, regardless of where I end up in the whole debate. And I announced my decision to start living like a christian, mostly to save my marriage.
Not surprisingly, I received an overwhelming response from a great number of people, and from all sides of the argument. It was the sort of thing that almost made me feel like I owned a popular blog. Don’t worry, I’m a practical man. I know what it really was. But we’re allowed to fantasize every now and then, aren’t we?
Well since then, most everybody has returned to treating me like they did before (preferred). Some might say that I’VE returned to being the way I was before, fallaciously. In any case, most of it is irrelevant, because a month and a half later, I still have the same friends, still have the same relationship with my family, and I still disappoint the same people. The only change is my relationship with my wife, which was the goal all along.
There’s only one person continue to disappoint that I……truly hate to disappoint. And I wish I could flip a switch for them, but I can’t.
