overview of an oxymoron

ox·y·mo·ron : something (as a concept) that is made up of contradictory or incongruous elements.

Welcome to my life. The life of an oxymoron. I guess if you really consider that, I'm calling myself a hypocrite. But I prefer to think of it as being a well rounded person. Not to mention the fact that oxymoron is about the coolest word in Webster's dictionary, after onomatopoeia. The other reason I consider my life that of an oxymoron is because I am a moron. Oxy aside, I will always be a moron, in the truest sense of the word. Webster defines moron as a very stupid person. With straight A's and 4.0 GPA, I can't say I agree entirely with that. But, I think my friends and family would tell you that I am a moron, in some ways more than others. In Leslie's dictionary, moron is defined as someone who becomes a bit crazy when faced with stupid situations. Okay, so, I'm crazy! There's nothing wrong with that. I believe that we are all crazy in one way or another. :blink:

Enough of that. My life is an oxymoron for the simple fact that the world tells me to be one way and I try my absolute hardest to be the exact opposite. In other words, I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I do not conform to the world, but to the Truth of God.

I am a rambler, in case you haven't noticed, and I tend to ramble on the discussion of definitions of words. So, please, never ask me what something means. It will only get you a long complicated answer that you would have found better in Webster's. If you're too lazy to flip through some pages in a colossal book, try

God bless,

I love that you got yourself a blog. Love love love it! And I like the whole oxymoron idea. :) You're right, I think everyone is a bit crazy in one way or the other. I pity those who are not. What a boring life they must lead! hehe

I did get your email, I get them on all email addresses. So choose one! :) And who said 8 addresses is too many? :p hehe

Oh, I was sooo happy to see Claudia again. I think we hugged for 1 minute when we finally met again. I gave her the ballerina thingy and she loved it. Said she would find a place for in their house. I went out with some mates from work last night and bumped into her again. She's leaving for Thailand tomorrow and I don't know how long it will be until we see each other again, so I was glad to see her before she leaves the country.

Anyway, keep updating this blog. I love reading your entries.

Love you.
Mel
