BUSY DOES NOT MEAN IMPORTANT

I'm talking to my busy, important friends.

SJ: "How you doing?"
Reply: "oh I'm really busy"

SJ: Talking to another friend. "Hey, how's it going?"
Reply: "Hi, very busy around here!"

Busy. I don't like that word. I have one friend and whenever I phone, they always tell me they're busy. What....?  Like YOU'RE so busy that I should feel lucky that you even took my call?  Maybe they're very, very important  - that's why they're busy.

Gimme a break. Everybody's busy. But when you tell me you're busy, I feel like you don't have time for me.

Am I busy. Yes, we're all busy. I'm managing a radio station, I'm managing a band, I'm publishing a magazine, I'm playing on a worship team at church, I'm riding my bike - I have lots going on. But I try not to answer "I'm busy" coz it might sound like "I'm important - why are you bugging me?"

I try to come up with other answers - "It's all good" or something similar.

Anyway, this blog is long enough. And I have many other more important things to do, much more important that rambling on to you. Bah ha ha!
