Ok, I have been really busy with work and school. But I promise to do a blog or two this month. The first will be a follow up of last years Top 10 Albums I Bought in 2008, but with the 2009 tag instead.
When it comes to emotions, how many of us put how we feel in front of others? To tell others how we feel but to think what others feel, even if its the same, is complete pish-posh and that they need to get over it. Maybe it's just the mood i'm in or that I read someone else's blog about being alone and all I could think of is the phrase "I have no sympathy."
I know I have said on here about feeling alone and what not, which is why I am talking about being selfish. But at the same time you start to draw comparisons. I know the person I am talking about and I know their pretty extroverted and they have plenty of people to hang out with and even claims they always have someone interested in them. I on the other hand have been without someone for the past 2 years, about as introverted as they come, and have had about three or four people like me during this time. So the selfish part of me thinks "you have no idea what it's like to be me..."
But in reality, as the character Atticus Finch said: "You can not judge a person until you see things from his (or her to be correct) point of view"
Which is completely true, yeah we know each other, but are we really friends? No, just mere acquaintances. I don't hang out with her at all and I only seldom talk to her on the internet. But when it seems like they are always having a good time partying and living "the college life" sure being alone will affect that person, but on my side, being alone has affected me too, but when you haven't really done anything in about two years despite trying to (and failing, even when coming close) you tend to feel less and less for someone claiming to have no one.
In a resilient conclusion, on my end, I need better myself when it comes to compassion, but it's sometimes hard to do so in these shoes...if you know what I mean.
Just another one of those days where I need to kill time at college because I decided to give my self way too much time in between classes; three hours between class on Mondays and Wednesdays and four hours on Fridays. In a sense it can be agood thing because then I can work on homework and whatnot during that time, plus study my ass off before psychology...
Have I been doing that? only slightly... The problem is, most of my classes so far haven't really offered any homework and if they do it's incredibly easy. I just usually sit in the student lounge with my laptop listening to music and checking the internet out. This time i'm actually deciding to write a blog since I haven't done so in awhile.
I do utilize my time to study though. I will take myself to the library and stick myself in the back quiet study areas to do my last minute cramming which has so far worked. This week so far has been really stressful and tough only because I had two tests and a project all due on two straight days. Plus there was other stuff in the class I project due in that went on that I don't want to delve into... But now the school week is coming to a close and I can just sit back and feel relaxed knowing that I don't need to do anything but breathe easily and enjoy my music for the next 3 hours.
I think it's time to get back to reading my book when I get home today... might be therapeutic.
Some of you know me with two sides (or three depending on how well you know me), which is while being a sensitive and caring person, I can be outright critical on just about every subject... mainly pop culture.
With that said, I went with some friends to the mall because they needed some stuff and we walked into this one corner store (I think it's called Journeys) and I felt so out of place. Not that I feel really awkward and uncomfortable and need to get the hell out of here out of place, but the "this stuff is so lame and the only people that wear this stuff listen to lame music, try to act not true to themselves, and overall will regret many things in their life" type of response. It's the fact that I detest current trends so much, no matter what it is.
Let's put it this way, unless I heard it first, you'll never hear me saying "I like this song" while listening to G105 or have my hat on my head in any other position than forwards. You can cut the pretentiousness with a knife nowadays...
I'm critical about everything... music, movies, culture, religion, TV, etc.
Now is it bad that I have such ill will towards certain things? I can understand having some gripes with stuff, but always having some negative feelings towards a lot of stuff? Sure I'm generally happy, but I do think a lot things that people listen to or wear look like ass! And I thought the preppy look was stupid!
I'll be honest, I haven't been exactly happy for a long time. I'm not talking about the fact that we all have peaks and valleys in life, it's as if I have a hill, then valley, then another hill followed by another valley so it keeps going deeper. I'm not sure if i'm depressed or anything, it's probably the constant alone factor I keep facing. It's getting near the end of the summer and I keep thinking that I should have went out with that girl the previous summer because I haven't felt wanted since then.
Don't tell me the thing about not needing someone in order to be happy... I know, i've been without someone for two years... and i've come to the conclusion that it would be a real good thing for my psyche to have someone to have in my arms and be all cute and what not with. I'm not saying i'm desperate and will take anyone, but to have someone would really boost my morale...seriously.
I guess only time will tell. You guys have read it before anyways...
I'm not using the exact term for enlightenment, but it's the only word I could think of after my discussion with my ex, Heather, and I in my car driving back to my house.
While we were driving back we were having this conversation about how cool it would be to go to Niagara Falls to visit my relatives and I brought up this thought I have been thinking about recently: Maybe there are people looking out for you! Now don't get me wrong, i'm still agnostic until an act of God physically happens in front of my very own eyes, but think about the stuff that has happened since my grandfather passed away. My mother went out the morning of us leaving to come back to North Carolina to look for her sign that my grandfather was safe in the afterlife which was to be a deer. Well, she did in fact see a deer according to my dad. A month or so later my mom goes down to Charlotte for this sweepstakes thing in which the grand prize is 2009 Ford Mustang GT Coupe. She won the card and had a picture of him with her the while she was there.
Here's another instance but it involves my uncle and aunt (my uncle being his son). While he was alive they tried to have a child but for years they were unsuccessful so they decided they wanted to adopt a child. Well a couple months ago, we got news that my aunt is now in fact pregnant and is suppose to give birth in November! They still want to adopt a child as well! My mom said she should have guessed when dad and her went up to Canada to celebrate theirs and my grandparents (if my grandfather was still alive, it would have been their 50th) anniversaries and my aunt was drinking alcohol.
So after I made those points, I said that while I believe that there possibly isn't a God, I do think that people do look over and after you when they pass to which Heather agreed with me.
But here's the paradox: Am I being looked after at all? I mean just look what happened the first day I got back to work from being in Canada for the funeral! Within a week of my grandfather dying, I was told that I would be let go from my job! That's not exactly looking after me but maybe it's some sort of trickle down effect. First his immediate family then his grandchildren and so on. So maybe my time of being look after by him hasn't come yet, but it will.
Maybe this is a turning of the leaf? Maybe, maybe not, but it's not up to me to decide that.
I have been not really busy until a couple days ago, mainly hanging out with friends until this morning, but here is basically two stories that I will talk about:
Starting with the most recent...
Well this morning I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed. I wish I could say how much it hurt, but they used a general anesthetic in my IV that knocked me out within a minute so I was out for the whole extraction thankfully. My face was really numb and for about 3 hours after the operation I had gauze on both sides of my mouth. About twice my one side started to bleed again and I had to put more gauze in my mouth for that side. When the numbness went away, that same side started to hurt, so I got two pills of Ibuprofen (which is recommended) and haven't been in pain for the rest of the night.
The main reason I needed my wisdom teeth removed was because my tooth on the lower right was pointed towards my cheek and would hurt for a week at a time about four times a year, plus the tooth on the opposite side of it hadn't fully broken through. They decided to take all four out in order to prevent the other two "healthy" teeth in order to prevent bacteria growth and what not because of where they are in relation to brush one's teeth.
But anyways, so far so good, tomorrow will probably hurt real bad and I might have to take that hydrocodon stuff. I know I have to have that bacterial rinse stuff or whatever it is and that won't taste good at all...
Now for part two...
Okay, why is it that some women think that when you ask them to go to dinner they think you're asking them out?
This happened two days ago between a friend and I who I haven't seen in about nine years. That right there shows that I just want to hang out and reminisce about stuff, that's it. I have no notions nor feelings towards her in that way at all! I don't get why people in general automatically assume stuff like that. Sorry if I don't find it weird that hanging out with the other sex can happen without a date being a possibility. Who knows the next time I will talk to her again because it's a little embarrassing for someone to automatically assume I want to go out with them when I haven't even hung out with them in almost ten years! I'm not going to ask you out based on Facebook conversations because you can't hear the person and you aren't right near them in order to develop and feelings like that. Oh well, when I can eat more than just soft food, I just go get dinner with friends of the same sex and those of the opposite sex who know I'm not trying to date them and take girls I want to go out with to midnight bowling.
Yes, the title does say "domestic terrorism" because someone was assassinated in the last 24 hours for what they believed was an okay thing to do. Dr. George Tiller was an abortion doctor and one of the few that did late term abortions; he was murdered during a church service he was a attending by a very adamant and extremist pro-life supporter.
Now let's get this straight... Pro-life... means for life or for the right to life, yet this, and many other doctors who do abortions have been assassinated by other extremist pro-lifers. Does anyone not get the picture?!?!?! I thought if you are Pro-life you mean all life! I know I am writing this late at night, but come on, I can even see how much of a farce some of these pro-life stances are! I'm not knocking those who are Pro-life but understand that they can not convince people to not have abortions because they are not that person making that choice. It's just sickening to see some people contradict their very message of Life by killing doctors, blowing up abortion clinics, and constantly protesting about how someone will go to Hell because they decided to rid of an unwanted fetus. It's so sad that this is one of the biggest rights of choice that a woman can have, yet so many people want to take that right away from them.
Don't get me wrong... yes I am pro-choice, but I have my own limits onto what I consider "legal" circumstances for abortion. Ultimately though, I am a male and therefore can not make that judgment. I could only do that if males were the ones getting pregnant, but we don't so we should never have a say in that process.
Going back to the murder of this doctor, the head honcho at Operation Rescue, you know, the organization that has the Roe of Roe v Wade as one of it's members, acting as if this murder was a victory for their side. They show their contradictory stance by saying that his murder was necessary since he aborted so many potential children. I thought these people were Pro-life? If you're pro-life that means all life, not the life of something that is not born yet. If someone wants to abort, let them because it's not your life. That person may feel they made the right decision or could regret the whole thing later on, but it's THEIR choice to make that decision, not yours!
This is AMERICA, not IRAN nor NORTH KOREA. We have FREEDOM OF CHOICE here! It's alright to be Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, just don't go to an extreme about it. A personal opinion is fine (like this blog), but there's no need to protest because you aren't entitled to that person's life and how they run it. For those that think that murdering a doctor is the right thing to do WHILE AT THE SAME TIME condoning those doctors for "murdering" unborn babies is horrendous; what happened to "Practice what you preach?"
I'd say let people ruin their own life if you think what they are doing is such a bad idea. People will guilt-trip themselves, no need to get into their face to tell them they are wrong. You wouldn't want someone that has a pro-choice stance come up to you and say "your parents should have aborted you" would you? I would think not because it isn't right, the same goes with all those stupid anti-abortion protests at abortion clinics. Let women make their choices without fear, there's no need for this extreme Christian stance that almost borderlines how the Taliban treats women. As John Lennon said, Give Peace A Chance.
I was texting Andrew today after I found out another person whom I have known for a couple years has a child now. I told him that every time one of our friends or acquaintences has a child or gets engaged and.or married, I feel older everytime. He says he feels smarter which is true, but it also made me think about how the older we get, the wiser we get...supposedly. I know we are in the Erik Erikson stage of our life where we deal with the problem of intimacy v isolation and that thought of how the rest of my life will be sometimes becomes a constant thought. Sure I had one girlfriend, but will I have another soon? Will I get married? If I am married, will we divorce? and ultimately, will I be alone in a house having a dog as my only friend? I know I am only at the very beginning of this 20-year stage and by the time I am forty I will have any of this questions answered by then.
People seem to have a Calvinistic view of thier lives, believing that everything is already planned out for us; the loss of lives, the romance, the jobs, and the end of our life, but I don't want to sit back thinking it's out of my hands because it isn't. I'm the captain of my own ship and I will steer it in what ever direction I want. I think about how my life would have been if I stayed in Arizona as I probably would have taken some honors courses and gone to a proper university instead of Wake Tech Community College. I mean I have been back in North Carolina for four years and I STILL haven't really thought of what's it's like being back here. Of course I love being in North Carolina because this is where I was raised, but I was just starting to accept living in Arizona, so I still feel that I am in some sort of crossroads on many points including identification. Only time will tell as they say, or as Elektra King said in Goldeneye, "What's the point in living when you can't feel alive?"
As April 15th looms around the corner, Wednesday to be exact, many of us here in America will be scrambling to the local post office to turn in our tax forms, but in England, there is something entirely different that will be observed. It is not taxes nor some sort of holiday, but a rather gruesome anniversary of an event that should have never happened.
On April 15th, 1989, Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England, the home ground of Sheffield Wednesday FC, was being used as a FA Cup semi-final venue between Liverpool FC and Nottingham Forest FC. Forest supporters were given the larger Spion Kop end while the Liverpool supporters had the smaller Leppings Lane stand on the opposite side of the stadium. Back then, stadiums often had fences surrounding the field in order to keep hooligans from invading the pitch which became the fatal obstacle that day. I can not imagine in this day and age why someone thought it was a good idea to turn beautiful stadiums to sporty versions of prisons...
Because of numerous police errors, too many people were in the Leppings Lane "pens" and a crush of spectators happened. The only ways for the spectators to escape the crush was to climb the fence or literally climb on people's shoulders and then be grabbed and picked up by another person situated in the second tier of the less crowded terrace. The game had already kicked off while all this was going on, but it was stopped after six minutes and abandoned.
Many stadiums here in America are all-seaters and always been like that so many of us do not understand the concept of a stadium with no seats, but it creates a fantastic atmosphere if the crowd is properly contained. In this case here, it clearly wasn't as there was such a massive overflow.
That day on April 15th, 1989, 94 supporters died, with another died a couple days later and another a couple years later (he never came out of his coma). All in all, 96, yes, 96 people died from an event at a soccer match! It's hard to imagine knowing someone who was just going to a simple sporting event and never return. This Wednesday is the 20th anniversary of that tragic a fateful day and I hope anybody that reads this shows their highest respects for those who went to enjoy a nice game of soccer and ended up losing their life.
To all those who lost their life, you have my respect and Rest In Peace. It's been twenty years and that day is still fresh in many people's minds and you will never be forgotten.
Well, there is, but it's just political diatribe that I don't feel like getting into at the moment.
So on to another music video!
In all honestly, I really like this song, reminds me of the women singers and groups that were somehow emerging and dominating during the mid-nineties. I actually do like this song, it's "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone" by Paula Cole (no relation).
Oh you get me ready in your 56 chevy Why don't we go sit down in the shade Take shelter on my front porch The dandy lion sun scorching, Like a glass of cold lemonade I will do the laundry if you pay all the bills
CHORUS: Where is my John Wayne Where is my prairie son Where is my happy ending Where have all the cowboys gone
Why don't you stay the evening Kick back and watch the TV And I'll fix a little something to eat Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor How do you take your coffee my sweet I will raise the children if you pay all the bills
Chorus
I am wearing my new dress tonight But you don't, but you don't even notice me Say our goodbyes Say our goodbyes Say our goodbyes
We finally sold the chevy When we had another baby And you took the job in tennessee You made friends at the farm And you joined them at the bar Almost every single day of the week I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer
Chorus
Where is my Marlboro man Where is his shiny gun Where is my lonely ranger Where have all the cowboys gone Where have all the cowboys gone Where have all the cowboys gone
President Obama recently overturned a Bush ban on the research of embryonic stem cells and personally I am for the research because it will help out in finder cures for cancer and what not. But really, I wanted to post this song about the subject which gives both sides of the argument pretty well! It's called "The Great Debate" by Dream Theater. It's a great song, but most YouTube videos of the song are in two parts because it excedes their 10 minute length.
I'll have the videos put up here along with the videos and then you can post on the song or the topic at hand if you want to.
What if someone said Promise lies ahead Hopes are high in certain scientific circles Life won't have to end You could walk again
What if someone said Problems lie ahead They've uncovered something highly controversial The right to life is strong Can't you see it's wrong
Human kind has reached a turning point Poised for conflict at ground zero Ready for a war Do we look to our unearthly guide Or the white coat heroes Searching for a cure
Turn to the light Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates Turn to the light Turning away would be a terrible mistake
Anarchistic moral vision Industries of death Facing violent opposition Unmolested breath
Ethic inquisitions breed Antagonistic views Right wing soundbyte premonitions In a labyrinth of rules
Are you justified Are you justified Are you justified Justified in taking Life to save life Life to save life Life to save life
This embryonic clay Wrapped in fierce debate Would be thrown away Or otherwise discarded
Some of us believe It may hold the key To treatment of disease And secrets highly guarded
Are you justified Are you justified Are you justified Justified in taking Life to save life Life to save life Life to save life
Humankind has reached a turning point Poised for conflict at ground zero Ready for a war Do we look to our unearthly guide Or to white coat heroes Searching for a cure
Turn to the light Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates Turn to the light Turning away would be a terrible mistake
We're reaching But have we gone too far
Harvesting existence Only to destroy Carelessly together We are sliding
Someone else's future Four days frozen still Someone else's fate We are deciding
Miracle potential Sanctity of life Faced against each other We're divided
Should we push the boundaries Or should we condemn Moral guilt and science Have collided
Turn to the light We defy our own mortality these days Turn to the light Pay attention to the questions we have raised
I love how the government is doing as much as they can to help the economy with bailouts and stimulus's, but it's being ruined by those who take it for granted and people who want to stick to what has been ruining the economy in the first place.
It is absolutely pathetic that major banks are using the money that is suppose to be used on us, their customers, the people who really need the money, and these idiots, the CEO's (Corrupt Egotistical Offenders) take millions and possibly a billion dollars to give to themselves, vacations, and jets (well no jets since Obama told them to "fix it"). I applaud the decision from Obama to set a cap on their salaries, even though he should put a cap on sports superstars too. Those high ranking officials at these banks really need to get their head out of their asses and use common sense!
Secondly, tax cuts haven't worked for awhile, that's why something else is needed to be tried! I don't really see money from a tax cut because that money goes back to the IRS as what?... TAXES. The stimulus, i'll admit has money going to some stupid things, but while people focus solely on that, they forget to realize that everything involves jobs, and people need jobs. Right now there are almost 4 million people without jobs (including me) and those jobs give people money which they will use to pay bills and buy products, therefore stimulating the economy. Sorry Republicans, you may have gotten some tax cuts, but we all know that they don't work.
I just had to do this for my World Religions class, so I will apologize in advance for the length of the post. I numbered the paragraphs for easier reading and understanding.
Here are the questions I had to answer. Each paragrapgh is one number:
1. What is reality? How can you prove that something is real? What is truth? How is a religious truth different from a scientific truth. 2. Do you believe there are "beings" or a "higher being" "greater" than humans? Briefly explain. 3. Where do you think the world comes from? Where do you believe humans come from? 4. Are humans inherently good or bad and why? 5. What do you think is eventually going to happen to the world? 6. What do you think happens to people after they die? 7. How should people behave and why? What should guide people's sense of how they "ought" to behave? 8. Describe your attitude towards those who believe differently than you do. If you consider yourself to belong to a particular religion, describe how that religion responds to individuals of other faiths. Do you have any friends or acquaintances of a different faith?
1. To me, reality is what we see in the world all the time, what happens to us and others, and the overall experience one has during their life that can either hinder or prosper one’s self. I am one for science because there is a realm within the sciences where everything is falsifiable because everybody knows that what has been physically presented to us can be proved or disproved through experiments and equations. We jump and land quickly back on Earth because of gravity and that if you crash your car, unless wearing a seatbelt, you will be flying out the windshield at the same speed the car was going prior to crashing. Those are pure truths because there is not “it happens because it just does” or “(insert higher power here) is the reason” as an explanation. A truth is a statement that can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt and a scientific truth is what we call scientific laws such as the laws of gravity and inertia. A religious truth is very different from a scientific truth because it all depends on how much you cling to what has been said in the Bible and what you think is real or not and many are not falsifiable and therefore can not be said as truth.
2. I believe there this is a very high possibility of other beings that live somewhere else other than Earth. I’m not saying that I think that Area 51 has UFO ships within its complex, I’m saying that because we haven’t been able to explore all of space to determine whether or not there are other signs of life (intelligent or otherwise) to answer that question. As for a “higher being,” I put that belief into doubt, but not saying if I actually believe that there is a higher power or not. In a reality setting, if a person came up face to face with an animal being like a bear, which one is the higher being in the truest sense? The bear would be seen as higher because it does not need a weapon to take out what is threatening their area. Will people agree with that? Of course not, I have had that discussion before about whether or not humans were indeed animals, which we are or else the bear would not eat us. As for being greater than a human, well sure if there is a God and every coincidence is God’s work, but we would not know if there is a being greater than a human until we have had that intervention.
3. We still do not know how Earth, let the entire universe happened exactly, but I am open to all explanation that can hold their ground in theory. We have these debates about whether or not to teach Creationism in public schools, but because religion is not aloud to be taught at a public school during school hours, it can only be an after hours class or at least a non-credit class during the school day much like how seminary works for Mormon students in Arizona (I use to live in Arizona so I know all about that particular subject). As long as there are religious schools, there should be no need to teach Creationism in public schools. The downturn about religious schools is that they are all private schools which require money out of one’s pocket for their child to be admitted instead of setting up a religious public magnet school. Speaking of Creationism, I do not believe that God created all the animals and that the Earth has only been around for a relatively short time instead of a couple billion years. Us humans developed from other animals, more specifically from our primate brethren. As mentioned before, the theory of evolution is falsifiable but so far has not be disproved. Humans ourselves vary from region to region like all the other animals and we are destined to evolve sometime in the future.
4. It is hard to explain if we inherently good or bad because every human has a different story to tell and we can go from a good parent to a terrible child and vice versa. Did we inherit good or bad from the species before us? Probably so because the DNA that is in every single living and formerly living creature determines or behaviors and notions towards the reality in front of us. Of course its not just heredity that makes us the way we our, we also learn from others either from being told or just by observation which determines what we see as good or bad.
5. Many things can happen to the world. For one thing, the threat of nuclear war is always present and with the amount of nuclear weapons we have, we could destroy existence on this world as we know it. Albert Einstein said, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." I believe that could happen if we do not end up destroying humanity as previously stated. Another possibility is Global Warming. We might not think that Global Warming is going to change the world, but we have done so much to the atmosphere that in due time (whether we are still living when it happens) we will end up being like Venus or another version of the humble oxygen-lacking beginners of Earth. It has been predicted that the Earth will be destroyed in about 5 billion years because of how close we are to the Sun. The Sun has a set life span which will eventually run out and end up exploding, swallowing and destroying the nearest planets. If we end up not having a nuclear epidemic or Global Warming, that is what will happen. We have seen so many times people thinking that a religious Armageddon was going to happen and so far we are still alive.
6. I have considered myself Agnostic for quite sometime (even though it can be seen as Atheist from what has been said) and do not really know what to say about what happens when we die. I do not want to tell myself that when we die, that’s it, nothing else because I want to think that our soul continues on into some sort of after life, maybe even reincarnation. This is where I can not draw a line for an opinion. The thought of an afterlife is extremely appealing to me, but the thought of just waiting while living in order to reap the benefits of Heaven is not. I know that as long as we accept Jesus and God as our leader and repent our sins we will be let into heaven and that’s how it should be. I’m not saying we should all be hedonistic pigs and when asked to repent to do so just like that, I’m saying we should enjoy our life and when its over and there is a Heaven, I can let whomever it is know that I will repent and accept whomever is in charge as my leader because I wanted to question and figure out things without being told someone else’s interpretations.
7. We can not be the one’s that determine how others are to behave, but if that was the case then everybody should have their own set of guidelines and boundaries when it comes to what or what not to do. I myself am not religious, but I have my own boundaries that I set where I do not do certain things because I know it’s not right because of reasons and not because I have been told no without any reason why it is wrong. People are taught how they are “ought” to behave either from parents, teachers, peers, or religious verses. We can not change or determine how a person will act because there will always be criminals and others that are seen as “immoral.”
8. My attitude towards others that believe differently than me is a pretty warm attitude. I have plenty of friends who are highly religious and I respect their views. I treat them the same way they do to me and we respect each other’s views because we understand each other’s background. Unfortunately, my view on religion is in a slighted way because of the people that do press their beliefs onto other people or use it to explain all their answers (what I mean is people that use Bible verses for answers instead of actually answering the question). I have a few friends of the Islamic faith and the same can be said for them as with my friends who are highly religious with their Christian faith. I do not consider myself as part of a faith. I was baptized in the United Church of Canada, but other than that, I can count the amount of times I have been to a church for a service with one hand. To sum up a song by Rush called “Faithless,” the chorus talks about one not having faith in faith nor belief in beliefs, but they believe in love and that is faith enough for them. I believe that is true and that one can have faith without having religion because we can all believe in ourselves without a “higher power.” But it can be nice to know you have someone or something there that will protect you and give you a leg up when down.
Again, I apologize for the length. And if you comment, please do not use scripture because the assignment specifically said no scripture or stuff of that ilk so lets treat it like that.
I know I haven't been posting a lot, but it's just that I have been busy with school and reorganizing stuff. The new blog will come eventually, maybe this weekend, maybe not, so just stick in there, its going to happen!
Also, I got my drivers license finally and I couldn't believe how easy the test was! All that worrying and nervousness for nothing!
Oh well, back to listening to that awesome stoner rock band Kyuss.
2009, A new year, a new era, and time to keep those resolutions! Well, atleast try to anyways.
I believe this time I can get back on my feet and try to be a better person overall. I know that I won't be able to go out with a certain someone as I had wished, but there are others out there that I am friends with that I would to see if I can go further with them. Also, time to be committed to what ever is in front of me, which means I might pull a Rocky and give myself some vigorous work outs (except not trying to be buff like Rocky).
Also, I would like to announce that I am planning on creating a second blog! What will the new one be about? Well, music is always beside me in my life and that is where the focus will be for this blog. Every week will be a different artist and within that week there will be posts showing lyrics from whomever the artist is for that week along with music videos, live performances, and interviews, maybe even the band playing a cover tune! Stick with me folks, I will be creating this blog soon, hopefully by next week.
That's it for now, I am not going to dread anymore as most of that crap was in 2008 and it just needs to be left behind.
A blog about events of a life from one person's point of view. Every once in awhile there will be personal rants about opposite views and what I think is somewhat slanting how we, as humans, think about things going on in the world and why we close up on some of the most liberating things.
I am 20 years old, originally from Niagara Falls, Ontario, but I have spent the majority of my life in North Carolina, but I have also lived in Arizona for four years. I want to be a history teacher, so lets hope for the best!
