I have realized something over the course of my life. Unfortunatly it can hurt me in the long run.
I have found that when I meet someone new or just randomly talking with someone I just don’t care about them. What I mean is whatever they are talking about, I just can’t get interested. After I have gotten to know someone the table completely turns and I accept them into my life.
I was planning to post this earlier but I wanted to make sure my thoughts were clear.
Having recently moved I have found myself looking for new places to replace those I left behind. One that I have recently started looking for is a new church. Being a young male the first thing I do is a Google search for the churches in the area where I live.
I checked with a co-worker and asked where he went and the answer was provided. I did a refined search for ones in close proximity to where I live since the one he attends is a little bit farther than I am willing to travel.
But after looking at the website of a church in my area I got all the pertinent information that I needed or now I know where to find the info. It is a nice simple clean site with all of the pertinent information that I needed to know with very few sections of the website that hadn’t been updated in a while/had no information. I appreciated the simplicity of the website. (I prefer simplicity over flash any day to be honest)
But I was able to track down the website of the church my co-worker goes to. It was like night and day…. there was a fancy banner image and was more of a professional layout while maintaining the simplicity that I enjoy. Even thought this second church is half-way across town I am intrigued and wish I could go and take a look at it with ease. The only thing that I did notice right away is there were a more sections on the website that said “under construction” or “more information to come soon”.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not putting down one church over the other based upon their websites but as someone who has studied computers and a website is the first impression that I see I would have to say these two websites are catering to different people. The first church’s website did say that they had a new one under construction. Maybe just maybe it would be a little bit more of an engaging website after the re-design.
Just a thought that I figured I would share.
Well, I am angry with myself right now. I decided to put all the work I needed to do into the last minute and now I am sitting here with 2 hours to go yet and will not get to bed until 4. The thing about trying to go to bed at 4 is I will not get enough sleep and there isn’t really any point in going to bed.
I always seem to do this. I have myself to blame and I really need to change the way I put things off. I am moving so I am going to be dead about mid-afternoon but I will need to stay awake until about 7-8pm so I don’t completly screw myself over this weekend. I am starting a new job next week and I have been working mostly evening shifts and have gotten used to staying up late and sleeping in. I am moving to a 9-5 job and need to change my sleep schedule completly.
