I know. I didn't choose the name. Or how to spell it. Don't look at me. I'm up on my Greek Mythology, baby. And I feel like the fact that I can correctly spell "Eurydice" suggests that I can be trusted to correctly spell the name of her determined beloved.
(Please fail to note that I have not actually spelled it correctly yet. Thank you.)
And don't be tricked by that dark, angsty, Werther-meets-Tim-Burton look on his face.
Told ya. This is Orfeus with a charming girl who is not his girlfriend.
And this is him with another girl, equally charming and equally not his girlfriend.
He gets around.
Okay, all joking aside, there is a reason why I'm creepily blogging about this guy at a quarter after three in the morning. Actually, two reasons:
1) I know he does not follow this blog, and will therefore not be creeped out by his unwilling presence here, and
2) I love this guy! He's just a straight up fun, real, God-loving guy. I'm blessed enough to count him among my friends and brothers, and I just wanted to take this opportunity to show anyone who reads this blog just how thankful I am for him, and just how blessed we all are to live in a world with people like him.
He's a rare kind of guy. Oh, sure, he falls into a lot of stereotypes - he can strut and preen with the best. He's incredibly pesky that way. But he genuinely cares of people, and he genuinely cares about growing in the eyes of God and men. In a lot of ways, he's a real inspiration. You can see the joy shining in his eyes, can't you? That's something that is purely God-given.
Anyway, he's one of my household brothers, and I was just doing some reflecting on my relationships and the friends God has given me, and Orfeus particularly stood out. Who knows why - as I mentioned before, he's pesky. But he's also great.
I hope that everyone has someone like him in their life. I'm super lucky to.
