Instructions Before Reading

I stand by the right to publish incomplete snippets. The point of this blog is to share life. If there is a unity in my life, it will become apparent what that unity is. No post is a complete thought, theology, worldview, or poem within itself, it must be taken within the context of the entirety of this blog, considerations of who I am in public as well as who I am in extreme situations like when I am forced to wake up at 4:30 in the morning to help my wife jump start her car in 20 degree weather.

I recognize my right as a flawed human being to do the following: 1) be wrong, 2) change my mind, 3) be inconsistent, 4) have improper grammar and spelling conventions. You are just as flawed, wrong, capricious, and prone to theological alteration as I am... so get over it.

Social Economics.

We tend to say and do things that give us social currency, I should know, I'm in a band. I have just made a withdrawal from my social ATM and used it to purchase some of your affection.

Earlier today I was waiting for my Literary Criticism class (I didn't have to name the class but it makes me look smarter) when a couple of students walked by and started talking about another student, "Oh she's undergrad right?" People who are not grad students don't use the word undergrad that casually. Another social currency. I'm not saying we need to be paranoid, it's just more evidence that maybe I'm more than a little insecure if I admit it, and so are you.
