I just thought I would post today, as I have nothing to do at the moment and haven't touched this blog in several months. I kind of missed it, and I've gotta be honest--it feels good to be back, even if it has only been for 45 seconds at this point. I don't really have anything earth-shatting to say (but, then again, when do I ever?)... I mostly just wanted to (A.) Get a new post so that an advertisement for a 3-month old show isn't the first thing someone sees shold they stumble upon this page and (2.) Mention that I plan to start blogging regularly again. This is not because I think my thoughts are worth anyone taking the time to read, but because it was always a great way to process my thoughts and nail down exactly what was swirling around in my chest. Getting outside input was always great, too (because I can be very, very wrong sometimes and it is important to get slapped back into reality every now and then). So, anyways, hopefully this is the beginning of a new, long chapter in the life of this blog. Adios.
P.S. I decided to change the name of the blog from "They Call Me Heger" to "Learning How to Die." I thought that "They Call Me Heger" sounded a little self-important. "Learning How to Die" comes from a Wilco song titled "War on War." I think it is a concept that is, in a sense, a summation of the rest of my life. Every day for the rest of my life I'm told I have to die to myself and put on Christ if I want to really live. I'm learning how to do that.
You have to lose
You have to lose
You have to learn how to die
If you want to want to be alive
You have to die
You have to die
You have to learn how to die
If you want to want to be alive
