Imagination...Fuel of the dream

...or just synaptic misfires? Either way I have no complaints.

I like haveing a steady job and the fact that it has good pay and benefits is great too, but I go to work for two reasons. Niether of which is because it's for the greater good as I work in Tech Services. I like to go to work in the morning because A.) half the time I have such a workload that I can sit and Blog or web-surf or read up on something and B.) until the past few months, when I got involved in a few group bible studies, a large percentage of my friends are there. Ceratinly some of my closest. Hanging out at work is a blast at some moments becasue of them. Of course the playground is littered with tripwires if you get my drift and what is a good day can take a nose dive by way of unsavory topics, attitudes, and language. That is however not the point of the post.

This is about the Samiches, former, inactive, or otherwise. These guys are truly a motley crew if you can excuse the referance. On days we are lite on work the topics can be so very wild as to require a flow chart to keep track of it. Sometimes we even get to a point where several of us realize we had been talking for an extended period of time and then spend several minutes back tracking to figure out what the point was. Today, among other things, was a day for new ventures and playful antics in the shape and shade of a movie.

This is something the group has imagined many times over and wants to do. So many ideas have poured from these minds though most have been gut buster humor shorts. Finally, for whatever reason, we finally took a single step toward the creation of such a movie. The script is flowing nicely onto paper and each man has his role. Even camera angles and costumes are being concidered already. By this point you might be thinking "Wow, they are realy making a movie." You my friend, would be quite mistaken. I can't tell you how many ideas this group has thought about doing and at times even began with the intent on finishing.

Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining right now. In fact, weather this happens or not, I think that it is good for us to brainstorm and put forth group efforts together. Good for us to imagine and laugh. Good to have a sence of fellowship, though not one focused on God, that encourages and mediates. It is not always a matter of encouraging and mediating though. With the absence of God things at times get downright offensive and improper. Those times are not so grand nor are they helpful as fellowship goes. I guess I'm saying, at least for the good times, I am thankfull to have access to their dementia. Very different and uniquely talented individuals (though lazy as can be).

It has been and I hope continues to be my pleasure to see the growth in them as I have. Some have grown much since I have met them while others are just starting and having a tough time of it. I'll let you know if we actually start filming.
