...gonna Psych you out in the end

Okay, I haven't felt bad about not posting on here until I actually got on. Since I am now in college, my postings will not be very regular or timely anymore. I'm hoping to still write a few, because I'll always be thinking.

One thing I've been thinking about is how my posts have begun to show a theme: media. So far my posts have included Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lost, and NUMB3RS--only in six posts. So from now on, I'm going to try to make this blog my thoughts about books, movies, TV, and how they relate to our Christian walk. I may throw something random in from time to time, but I'll try to stay on topic.

That being said, I am now searching for a new name! Let me know if you have any ideas.

And now, on to our regularly scheduled post:
I've been watching a lot of Psych in college. *waits for cheering to die down.* It seems like everyone I know loves this show. And I'm loving it too; I haven't seen very many episodes, but hopefully that will change now.

But in almost every episode (especially the early ones), I'm struck by Shawn's endless deception. The lies he tells get almost unbearable at times. Sure, the theme song says, "I know that you know that I'm not telling the truth," but the point is, he's not. I haven't seen enough episodes to know why Shawn does it either. (Someone with more knowledge, feel free to enlighten me.) He's brilliant without pretending to be psychic; does he just have more fun doing it this way?

As I said, I do really enjoy this show. I'm just throwing out a little food for thought and reflection. Would any of us really like to live like Shawn is? We love him, but what's it like living a lie in front of the woman you love--whether or not she has an idea of the truth?

That's all for tonight. I'd love feedback on my new direction, new names, or anything!
