| I no longer post here. You can read the whole well-made post here, (or scroll down, i guess) or just hop over to my new blog, transparency|inaction .
I can't wait to see you there!
Peace, love and joy to you all, for the last time (here anyway).

| As smugly as you can speak, I suggest you read this aloud so that you can experience all the comedic gold that is this:
Here's the thing. I wrote a novel last month. So I'm pretty important. Basically, I am way too big for xanga now. So big, in fact, that I'm moving......on.
That's right, America. I'm not just packing up and leaving--I've not given up on this whole honest connection via the infinite tubes and pipes that comprise these internets--I'm moving on to something bigger and better.
And you're invited.
</smug>
Actually, it really wouldn't be the same without you. Please come. Please decide that I'm worth the extra click, or the extra traffic in your RSS aggregator (if you're a way cooler internet wunderkind than i am, and actually understand how one of those things work), or whatever it takes to come keep up with me.
UNLESS you don't enjoy reading me, in which case this is a good time for you to stop without worrying whether I'll read anything into it. Or, like, if reading me makes you angry, quit now. No hard feelings. Good game, America.
But--if I had my way--you'd all come, because without you this place would just be me. Oh, and I'd miss you all a lot.
I'll be keeping up on all your blogs via the e-mail, and I'll prolly still stop in every now and then to comment. But I'm not going to be adding anything new here.
Which is sad. I've been here for 701 days. It's safe to say that this has been one of the very few things I've kept for that long. In that time, I've:
- completed 60 credits of coursework
- lived in three different places with two different roommates
- grown (and now shaved off) a pretty kickin mustache
- gone through 3 different hats
- lost sleep on account of at least 3 different girls
- broken a hand, the root of a tooth, 2 cell phones, 3 pairs of sunglasses, 1 pair of regular glasses, a printer, a low e string on a bass, 2 computers, and at least 1 heart (which is, unfortunately enough for me, my own)
- put (only!) over 13000 miles on my car
- and worked in 3 different youth groups with a total of about 175 jr and sr high school students.
This is kinda sad. Come to the new place quick so I won't get sad and lonely. There's already a post there that you won't see here, and it's got a contest attached (with prizes and crap!). Here's a link: http://timothyomargheim.blogspot.com/
Peace, love, and joy to you all, and I hope I see all of you over there.

| I still care more. And that's all I got on that.
Fortunately, other things do change:
1)
Like
my brother's medical condition, which continues to improve. He's still
having some troubles keeping the O2 stat high enough, but he's
detubated (i realize that this prolly isn't a word. i do not really
care.) and has been walking around a little bit. We're expecting him to
get discharged from the hospital on Friday.
Oh and here are some pictures of his car:
2)
The big news is still coming. It involves change.
3)
There is no number 3 tonight.
This
is all that I have. I'm tired, I can't figure out up, and, most
frightening of all, I think I may actually be happy with my life, or at
least more happy than unhappy. And that's the hardest to admit.
Still licking my wounds, but wishing
Peace, love, and joy to you all. | | |
| First and foremost, thanks for all the prayer and support. Jon's doing
a lot better. I talked to him for a little bit today and he said that
he has trouble breathing and he's in a lot of pain, but everything's
roses other than that. My parents went to the impound lot today to get
some of his stuff out of the car and take some pics, which I'll post as
soon as they get here. Apparently his car made the news as well, so my
dad saved that on one of our computers for me to watch when I get home.
That's all I've got tonight.
Peace, love, and joy to you all. | | |
| Hey, so, my brother was in a pretty serious car accident this morning.
He was apparently t-boned on the passenger side of his car while
traveling westbound through the intersection of N Carefree and Powers
(if you don't know, don't worry; that's just for those of you who know
the Springs). Somehow he ended up then colliding head on with an old
(as in, made entirely of steel-reinforced steel) pickup truck that was
stopped waiting for the light. Conditions were super cold early this
morning there, so icy roads are prolly what set all of this off.
By
the time my sister got there, the paramedics had arrived and were
cutting my brother out of his now completely totaled Chevy Malibu. They
stabilized him at the scene, and he was conscious and responsive. Well,
right now he's at the hospital. He's going to be fine, I guess, but in
the meantime he's kinda jacked up: 3 or 4 broken ribs, a punctured lung
which has already collapsed once, a cracked spleen (which I don't even
know what that means), and a small cut on his thigh which required 5
stitches. They're doing x-rays on basically his whole body now to find
out if he fractured his femur (which they are relatively sure he did)
or if he did any damage to his spine. He'll be in the hospital for the
next couple of days while they watch something or other.
But the
word is he's going to be fine, so thank God for that. I'm thinking I'm
going to end up leaving my car in Colorado after Christmas break for
him to drive around in, at least for next semester, since I only very
rarely use mine out here. The really, really scary part of all of this
is that at this point, my brother doesn't have health insurance. Which
is just plain scary.
So, I guess I'll just say, Please pray.
Peace, love and joy to you all | | |
