be more interesting

So I think the thing about this is to just actually do stuff. Accept invitations to things. Dare to take on new challenges. Explore new hobbies and interests. You really just have to be interested in something to be more interesting. Of course I’ll never know what the other person thinks, but from my own perspective I think I’m getting more interesting.

I went fishing for the first time since I was a kid the other day. It really felt like the closest thing to a genuine experience lately. I only caught one fish, but the point is I did it, and had fun. I hope that I can continue to explore other new experiences like this in the future.

i sit at home. wondering. thinking. waiting
waiting for something .. for what?
i want adventures. i want adrenalin
yet…. i dont do anything about it
it is too easy to miss out.
to go to bed accomplished you must wake up determined.
that is my philosphie. or some quote i picked up. meh.
but.. i am going to get out of my seat and faster.
this is the beginning of my “yes man” life.
i want to be a person that people listen to. and come to.
i am going to stay liquid.
let my self flow with experiences.
but to do this. i need to get into experiences
i think this will be the toughest thing to do.
to get into circumstances. will take intiative.
it will require me to come out of my shell. and explore what i have inside.
i am on a quest. and i am giong to succeed. i swear

People already said it in my face. And there is nothing worse you can say to me…

I have been very active in my church, I joined the choir last year, I teach a youth bible study group (AWANA)on Wednesdays and I’ve made some very good friends along the way. I try to get out more when my schedule allows (and my budget, lol) and there are some things on the horizon that I have set my sights on…

1. Watch better films.
2. Only spend 2 hours a day watching television or flopping around on the interweb
3. Edit my list of webcasts
4. Find 2 new bands to listen to
5. Find out whether there’s anything local to here.
6. Don’t do housework on a saturday.

when I say “be more interesting” I’m really talking about doing the things I dream about in my head. I see other people doing the things I think I would like to do, but instead of taking initiative to go out and do them, I sit on the couch and watch tv and go “that would be really cool”...

So I checked out the website dailycognition.com (which I noticed on another person’s entry on this website) and I definitely feel like I have more interesting things to talk about after reading some of the articles. It has more obscure news stories that not everyone has heard about. Definitely worth checking out if you want to be more interesting :)

yeah, i think ive managed this one…

Being yourself is by far the most interesting you could ever do. I’ve done so much to force myself into some crowd I think I could be cool in, and have people want to be my friends. It doesn’t work like that apparently.

My approach? Don’t worry about the amount of friends I make, and just enjoy what I normally would enjoy.

When I tried to be interesting, I almost became one of those scenesters who say they’re “unique” like everyone else in their group. After hanging out with these kids for just a few hours, I felt sick with contradictions being thrown into my ears and stuffing my brains with they’re annoyance.

It’s really not a matter of becoming “interesting” it’s a matter of finding friends who enjoy being with you, and get to know you.
