November 29, 2002 02:30 PM: avoiding regret

As i've gotten older, and yes i know i'm not that old, i've realized that i've taken alot of things for granted that i wish i hadn't. Thanksgiving had always been one of those holidays where i didn't understand what all the fuss was about. It was just a stupid day where my family got excited about turkey and football, and seemingly little else. But it seems like these last couple of years, the true meaning of thanksgiving has come to me. It's just strange that I never really realized...

So, I've had a great last couple of days. I was tempted to post a sappy, emotional, piece of crap about love and relationships. But I've decided against it. I can say with some certainty that I'm seeing someone now, and she's wonderful to no end. I can also say with some certainty that I can give some damn good relationship advice; I know I did tonight. It's just sad that great people are settling for not-so great people because they're scared of being alone. It's not right....

It's like movie makers are going out of their way to make your bladders explode these days. The reason these types of movies are so long is because all you book reading nazis who go to see these movies always come out saying "the book was better" like you would be able to tell a screenplay from your asshole in the first place. It's not meant to be a book, it's meant to be a movie. Why are all these people going to see the movie if they've read the...

November 24, 2002 02:32 PM: life is funny

I'm starting to think there is something wrong with me. As the world turns and everyone is unhappy, i'm not. I mean sure, there are some things in my life that i really wish were different. but alot of those things aren't things i can really control. It seems like the things that stress others out, are the things that i can easily pass off. i guess i'm just blessed with a mind that doesn't dwell, or maybe i just don't have any problems that deserve stress. i count myself...

November 21, 2002 02:32 PM: civil rights violation?

Can someone tell me how city curfews for teenagers don't violate civil rights?more: I was just wondering if anyone knew the specific reasons that city's can have ordinances banning being outside after 11. i just don't think it's right that you can tell people they have to be somewhere at a certain time because of the so-called bad things that happen late at night. Sure there is a lot of drinking, sex, drugs, and partying going on, but why should everyone be lumped into a category of doing bad? what...

November 12, 2002 02:34 PM: say no to rehabilitation

I shouldn't do this, but I'm going to post something about someone else's post. I did it last time, and I guess I'll do it again to Emily's post. go read her post first, and then come back.On the surface, it seems like anything outside of rotting in a solitary cell is unjust to the victims' family. I admit, on the onset, it seems fair to me that inmates should lead as miserable a life as is possible to live. But as I think about it and see more about...

November 8, 2002 02:35 PM: crowder and powerpoint

Michael Herman: Do you remember a key moment when worship became very real to you?David Crowder: Yes, I do. I remember standing in the hall after a worship service in my home church. There were a bunch of us talking about the great worship service when a child came screaming down the hall with a nursery worker not far behind. It was quite a sight. It was at that moment that I knew I had to honestly ask myself, "Who had the more worshipful experience this morning? Was it me...

November 5, 2002 02:36 PM: understand these understandings

John Strappazon's message from Paradigm on Halloween was good. So good in fact, that I'm posting it here for everyone to listen to. From an sociological perspective, it's very interesting. A lot of the things mentioned are things that plague society today. But from a Christian perspective, understanding these understandings has already helped me deal with non-believers. The idea of sincerity not reflecting actual fact is something that I believe is killing (non-literally) people all the time....

November 2, 2002 02:37 PM: smart girls are pretty

b-may: When doling out the compliments, one should always tell a pretty girl she's smart, and a smart girl she's pretty.Words of wisdom from a really hot, wicked-smart chick....
