Josh...I decided it frickin' sucks that you live some 6 states away. I miss you already TS! I had an awesome time even though it was way to short. Good thing I can fly up there whenever I darn feel like it. And...maybe we can have a dang quesadilla or somethin.
It's good to be home again. I've decided this waking up at 4 in the morning is for the birds. What 18 year old in there right mind does that? Oh well...it's over. Today after I got home from the airport at like 1 I decided to take a nap before I had to be at work at 615. So i set my alarm for 4 to get up and get going. Well...my mom calls at 615 from work and I'm still in bed. Ooops. Some alarms just mess up sometimes ya know?
I'm reading a really good book. It's called "Be Intolerant: Because some things are just stupid" by Ryan Dobson, he says...
Accepting everything means you believe in nothing. When it comes to right and wrong, sitting on the fence won't get you - or the people you love - anywhere. Passiveness is not love. Love is getting in people's faces and telling them the truth. (This is good....read on.)
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
President Bill Clinton struck a serious pose, pounded the podium, and delivered this declarationg with the air of a powerful man who is being detained from serving the American people to deal with trivial details. The trouble was... he was lying! Not only had he had repeated sexual relations with intern Monica Lewinsky, he lied about it under oath, denied it multiple times on camera, and reportedly encouraged others to lie about it under oath. What was America's reaction? Lots of people I talked to thought it was great that the President of the United States knew how to have a good time. The poor man worked hard and probably deserved to have a little action on the side, right? Under intense pressure and facing impeachment hearings, Clinton finally admitted his lie: "Indeed, I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong."
He said he was wrong. Yet...he never seemed all that sorry. Here's the worst part: So many young people I know don't think he had anything to be sorry for.
Wow...so true. It makes me think what my beliefs mean to me. How my God and my "rule book" (the bible) play into my life? It's not easy to stand up for what you believe in but if you don't....you're cutting yourself down as a person. My God is worth the sacrifice or possible harassment for standing up for him because he took the ultimate stance for me.
"Choose to stand for something or you'll fall for anything.
I'm starting a list of things I love in no particular order. Here's entry #1:
Chocolate Chip cookies, right out of the oven, slightly under cooked.
Little pieces of heaven.
