In Genesis chapter 2, we see the first declaration of something deemed "not good" by God. The not-good thing was that Adam was alone. We were created to be in relationship.
Have you ever had one of those times where something kinda funny happens, and maybe you chuckle a little to yourself for a few seconds, but then you see your other friend who's laughing like a fool, and you just start laughing because they're laughing? And then both of you laugh even more because both of you are laughing like idiots? And then you say something like, "I was only laughing because you were laughing! Ha ha ha ha so funny" (ok maybe not exactly like that) ... Or have you ever cried because you saw someone else crying? Maybe with your friend, or even because you saw a character cry in a movie? ... Have you ever watched a kid spin in circles and then say, "whoa kid, you're making me dizzy!" (quite the foolish comment, but we all say it) ...
I was just thinking today... emotions are supposed to be shared. Even if we just see someone grieving, we might start crying. Even if we just see someone laughing, we might start laughing. God made us this way, to share in our experiences and feelings, even if we don't know exactly what the other person is going through. I think it was a good idea.

Genesis
I know what you're thinking, and yes, i had to change the name of the blog. As much as i loved pretending to be a true azn gangsta, it simply wasn't true. Maybe in 6th grade. But these days, i'm past that foolish childsplay. I probably had about 10 friends with emails or SNs like trueaznboi or lilaznshorty or some crap like that. I refuse to stoop that low. So i just decided to go with my standard aim sn. Legit.
Now on to more important things. Much love to everyone who dropped a comment yesterday. Especially to hlebain who gave me two. Unfortuately she commented the exact same thing twice, which leads me to believe she didn't even read my blog and just sent a generic comment and then accidentally sent it again. Disgusting. I'm sad there are no e-props on blogspot. Disappointing indeed. Now how will i know how much props i got? Mad props? No props? This is ridiculous. Nonetheless, keep dropping by to say hi. I will do my best to write well. No promises though.
Genesis.
What a coincidence! The title of this blog is Genesis and dorm ministry has been studying the book of Genesis this semester! Dang that's tight. We (myself included) have been learning a lot about what it means to run away from God only to have him bring us back to what's important. So, though i've been away from the blogging game for awhile now, i have been mercifully called back to online journaling. What a great Biblical analogy.
The reason i wanted to start this blog is because i have a whole smorgasbord of thoughts, questions, and experiences that i want to share. Things like life, God, sports, home, food, clothes, friends, happiness :), sadness :(, and things of the sort. Is that hecka girly? Shoot. I don't really have feelings though, so don't expect much in that category. But i do have opinions and complaints and questions. That should suffice. One thing that i've been learning about a lot this past semester is transparency. What a better way to live in that vulnerability than to make a blog, right? I know. Hecka smart. But in order for this to work, we (me and you, the reader) need to make a Covenant. Dang this whole Genesis analogy is working wonders. Anyway, the covenant is: i, nathan jin lee, shall be completely honest, raw, uncensored, and transparent in this blog if you, __________ (insert name) shall read it. Yee!
