Getting through the last year of high school is pulling all the motivation I have. And yet for some odd reason, this fall I will be attending college. Harder classes, and very expensive to say the least. What am I thinking (for all those with a sarcastic sense of humor, don't say a word)? What in the world has me so posessed as to think that I can successfully reaply
I have so much fun coming to sites like this and reading all the Hypocrisy from the commentors. You claim that "Christians" are "using their religion as ammuntion in their campaigns". Talk about discrimination against an entire group. It is so easy to make a label for an entire group. I am a Christian, I don't have anything against all the homosexuals in the world, true I do believe the decision to be gay is a sin, but I also believe lust is a sin
I was sitting in a class the other day, the teacher had finished lecture time and I was having an interesting conversation with a fellow student. We were discussing religion, politics and the homosexuality issue. After some time I started to see a pattern to the converstion. When either of us wanted to flatten the others comment the sentence would start, "I respect yo
I believe that a child-like faith is all we need to understand the Truth. BrummyBoy I totaly agree that childlike faith is required to have a relationship with God. The point I am trying to make however is that I can't understand everything that God is doing and there for have to believe that the "what" will be taken care, but I can figure out why I, as an individual put my faith in the "what". I apologize that the artiicle was unclear on
It is a relief to hear that there are still those that realize that Bush is human too. I am extremely conservative and don't mind listening to other oppinions, but I do have a problem when those "oppinions" are more of a way to rip on my oppinions. I appreciate your open minded blog and eagerly await your next
It becomes truly apparent how far removed the political world is from the average person that the people of America are not considered anything but numbers and percentages. I'm not saying that the way it's looked at is wrong, just disheartening. It seems like the government no longer runs to serve the general public, but a select side of it. In my oppinion its not because of the government itself, it's just because the American people are so divided.
I can do the whole, I believe when I don't know for sure, but I can't do the whole, I don't know why I believe what I believe. Its all about the why, not the what. Faith is knowing why you believe in what you don't see. You can't simply believe because you just do, you have to understand why you believe what you just do. Why did I believe or not believe, that is what
I love those days when a couple of buddies just to get together and goof off. Play a little "DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION" and drink vernors till we get so sick from the shaking that we lie down to play some good ol zelda. Yes I admit it, my friends and are indeed gamers. Not exactly those pathetic guys who do nothing else but gamers nontheless. I love games simply because
American's are rather self centered country wise. It makes sense to me to call myself an American because I consider the word American, another way to say U.S.A citizen. I know this sounds rather egotistical and I am somewhat ashamed to admit that I don't consider Canada, Brazil, Mexico or any of the "American" countries American at all. It's not because I look down on those countries, it is because their countries have proper one word names instead
Recently a person I knew, not too well, committed suicide. While nothing in my personal life was affected it really got me to start thinking about my own mortality. I really am just a speck in the wind like everyone else on the planet. I have a hard time thinking that life is really that short and can be taken away with a single decision. Why would anytone voluntarily
As Mark Twain once said, "I'm not addicted, I've quit a thousand times."
I've noticed that females are the masters of multitasking. I have a single track mind, it's hard to focus on several things at once. I would rather take my time and get it done well than get a load of thing s done and do the semi quality. The thing is girls can do them all at once with fairly high quality, or attention to detail. My question is for the girls, how can
On August 4th my mother came up to me after breakfast and sad she needed to talk to me alone. The firsr thing that came to mind was oh crap, I'm in trouble again. I didn't know for what, but we headed out to Logan's Landing, a little park by the Bordman river. I handn't been to that park in many years and doubt I'll go there for many to come. She told me that she had
Good luck on the play and I hope your character comes of as you hope. In hopes that you break a leg, yet don't
I just recently decided to apply for a higher paying job at a local water park. As of now I work as a bagger at a local grocery market, where the pay is low, but the co-workers and the managers are great. I decided to risk it all to see how the new job goes, and I hope that the pay ( since it is my pay plus another half of my salary) will make the switch worthwhile. I feel decidely lousy jumping out on my boss, but he will get two weeks notice and I re
Over the past several weeks I have experienced crumbling in my foundation of belief. To put it simply almost everything in my life over the past four years has been a lie to keep people at a distance. I thought I knew that if they got too close they wouldn't like the real me and I would lose them. It hit me a short while ago that if i held friends at a distance there was really nothing to lose. so now I am rebuilding the foundation of my life and hopin
Sherye, I am not a soldier, just a teenager that has been taught by my father ( a Korean vet) to respect the loss of all my countrymen. Hans, Thank you, and I do honor the brave men who not only defended our country but lived through the war to educate those of us who still need to learn of the danger. I respect the living vets ( my father being one) and definately hold them in the highest regard. They were indeed the ones who defended the country I'm pro
Thanks Larry for your insight into the world of growing up. Your article did change my perspective, but it did not change my oppinion. It is true that some people are more controlling than others by nature, and some people, like myself, are just so laid back we really don't care one way or another. When I'm around little kids, which I am very often because I have a little sister and am transporting her and her friends places and forced to babysit, and as long as they aren't hurting themselves or
My friend (you may know him, Dan Kaschel) and I were walking out of a book store late Monday night when a car full of college age students drove up and stopped to ask for directions. The thing that amazed me is how many guys fit into such a small car! Anywho, they asked my friend where the dock was, he glanced increduously at me (since the dock was clearly marked to blocks back) at starts the task of trying to get these guys to realize they missed it two blocks ago. The entire time the driver is
I totally agree, the American society is heading towards destruction and most people are too stupid to realize it. I am strongly opposed to the gay lifestyle, especially now that they infringe on my rights on freedom of speech. If I say anything negetive in a public place I can be charged with "hate crimes".
Welcome amadeus to the blog world. I'll be looking forward to reading some of your articles. Tim
Why is it that parent's seem to be so power hungry. I know for a fact that both my parents went through very similar things when they were teens, though teens today have alot more stress without any doubt, but I often wonder what changed them. Whenever an injustice is done I think about how I'll never do that to my children because I want to end up nothing like what my parents are. Now the funny thing is I'm sure they said the same thing, so what changed their minds as to the decision that affec
This poem was written at a time of great stress in my life, though it is not the best I have written flow wise, it is the one I treasure above all. My values shine forth through this unknown hero. Many untold tales are out there, and many unsung hero's, this is to honor those hero's though they may never be known. On a field a lone soldier stands All his companions, in the final sleep The soldier's tears flow into bloody hands Weep for the loss my friends His grizz
Ever since the telescope was introduced and most likely before, humans have been searching the universe for signs of life beyond their own little world. TV shows were created such as "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" to let the imagination roam free, and to paint a picture of what each indivdual thinks could be out there. I admit I've had my own fanciful ideas , but recently I've been thinking (a rare occurrence in itself) not on what's out there, but why in the heck the human race really care
When confronted with the idea that I (basically computer illiterate) could successfully use the internet to express myself, I was not overly confident in the idea. Needless to say with some friendly prodding here I am to bore you all with my thoughts on various topics. My purpose is simple, to express how I feel. I look forward to future input on my ideas. Yours Sincerely, Tim
