Well, I put up a new picture since that last one has been up since like… 2 or 3 weeks before I left home… which puts it a little over a month since I’ve changed pics. As you can see, my hair is actually beginning to get long now. This is a good thing. Actually it’s kind of funny. Like I get a 50/50 response to the hair/sideburns thing…. Half the people I come into contact with are like “hey, that’s really cool… I like it a lot”, and the other half are life “eh, i don’t really like it”. Personally, I’m liking it. It’s at somewhat of an uncomfortable length right now, but, once it gets a little longer it should be all good.
It is now 3 a.m. I have a class at 8 a.m. That means I have to be up by 7:15, and THAT means… if I go to sleep I get a grand total of 4 hours… unfortunately, I also had a large cup of coffee about an hour or so ago, and as a result the caffeine has me really alert, so I don’t much feel like sleeping. That wasn’t too smart of me, huh? Oh well, I will learn from it I guess.
I watched Major Payne just a bit ago with Ronnie and BJ. Of course, rather then doing the smart thing and watching it early, we started watching it at 1 a.m., so as to make it so that I had to break curfew to go over there (we’re not supposed to leave our rooms after one… luckily there is about a 2 second outside walk between our rooms) and also so that none of us would get a decent amount of sleep. But it was cool, they’re cool guys, and I definately plan on hanging out with them this year. Even if I am only using them for their cool movie setup (j/k.. sort of ;)).
I am really excited about this year though. There is so much potential I can see in it. I just am wanting to not waste it… I want to make the most of it… and even play catch up a little bit on last year… because a lot of that was wasted. Some things continue to be wasted though… though not by my choice 😉 I’ve made it a goal this year to try and hang out with my friends from back home that are down here more often. I’ve been succeeding with one of them (Karen), but as far as Lisa and Emily go… no. Not that I haven’t tried, but, they never seem to answer their phone… or, when they do, it’s generally lisa and she is either tired or leaving. Oh well. And Brown I’ve hung out with a bit. He’s just above me, so I guess I’m succeeding there too. Although it’s been a few days since I’ve done much with him… perhaps tomorrow I’ll head to his room.
Just… something that I have really realized the importance of recently….. always take advantage of every opportunity you have. Don’t hold out for something that COULD be when something else IS right now. Life is too short to live for the might be. You will enjoy yourself so much more if you live in the now. Keep the future in mind, but don’t live for it. This is really similar to what Age just recently did a post on… I suggest you go read it. She did a lot better job then I am probably doing ;). In any case, make the most of every second you have.
That’s all for tonight.
Be blessed.
“It’s difficult to say goodbye after all this time.
The rain will fall down replenishing all of our broken dreams.
And this burning tree that is withering will bloom again,
Would you believe?
Goodbye, goodbye.
Walk away it’s time to say goodbye.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Walk away it’s hard to say goodbye.
Now all that’s left are pictures on the wall.
Memories and stories that are told.
The more often told the bigger they get.
Create a legacy last we forget.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Walk away it’s time to say goodbye.
No longer can i hold onto this defeated change in my heart.
It’s time to sing “fare thee well” to life as we know it.
My voice it will be still.
Something woke me up in the midst of dream and fantasy.
Halfway there.
But He always fills my cup
And He lifts me up oh how He lifts me up.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Walk away it’s time to say goodbye.
I never took the time to stop and realize,
That death takes many forms,
Even while alive.”
-“Goodbye,” by Plankeye
i think yer looking good 🙂
Very stylish. Yar.
Well, in response:
“… if God can CREATE things, there is nothing stopping Him from creating it COMPLETE and MATURE. What rule binds God to have to create a plant as a seed? God very consistently in Creation created things in maturity (all the stars were visible from earth the moment they were created; animals were fully mature, plants were fully mature, humans were fully mature. Adam and Eve were not created as babies, but as full grown adults….”
Well, I’ll admit, that is a good point. However, it never ststes that they were “full grown”. But moving on.
“Yes, the firmament…you should look into the flood theory. If you’ll recall, there was no rain or anything before the flood, and a universal climate. the firmament had a lot to do with that. it’s this great whole scientiffic theory…. and it makes a lot of sense. you should look into it. and no, the firmament would no longer be there today.”
But if the firmament was there, then no sunlight would come through.. Was this firmament clear or something? Your Holy Book is very vague about this (And among many other things)…. But if it was clear and let sunlight through, it would of caused a massive greenhouse affect…… Ouch…. Sun Block anyone?
“
In regards to Adam naming the animals… I think you are thinking with an incorrect preconceived concept. You are assuming that time really existed, which also carries over into the 7 days thing… time doesn’t exist for God. He is an eternal being (also an infinite being… yes, there is a difference). At the time, Adam was also an eternal being. In eternity there is no such thing as time. That is what makes it eternity. Therefore it would not take a long time to name the animals, or a short time to name them. It would simply be something that happened.”
Yes, but wouldn’t it of said something about the extreme boredom it must of been to name every animal? What about animals that have only been named recently? Is that not thir real name? What is it then. We’ve been calling a whole slew of animals by the wrong name!
“As far as eating dust goes… I’m not a snake expert, but I’d imagine they must eat some of it, seeing as how they live in holes and all.”
Uhhhh….dust is basically dead particles, and holds no nutritional value. If a sanke eats only dust, then it would surely die. They eats rodents and such I beleive.
“In regards to Cain: wrong again. There were more people alive then Cain, Abel, Adam, and Eve. In consistence with the very long lives of people at the time (see canopy theory/flood theory…. that firmament comes into play here too)… and the fact that Adam and Eve had a whole planet to populate, they decided they would in fact have more then 2 children. Cain and Abel were full grown adults by the time that took place, not little kids, as a lot of people seem to think.
Cain’s wife was his sister. See, in a society where that is the norm, it is not gross, weird, or wrong in any way. At the time, there was a perfect gene pool, and therefore no need to worry of birth defects, etc… the more pure a gene pool is, the less chance of such things happening. The only reason it is a bad thing today is that the gene pool has been going on for so long that it has degraded to a point where most everyone carries recessive genes that can cause such problems. Look into it.”
Would you mind pointing out where exactly it says that Adam and Eve had a daughter or any other children for that matter before said pasage? I know they had more kids, but I thought that was after the whole Cain/Abel ordeal.
“I’m not a flood expert. So whether or not a tree would survive, I don’t know. Perhaps it is a mistranslation, and it actually means “branch”. In that case, it doesn’t really matter, because whether it was a leaf or a branch is not really relvavent to the point. Keep in mind however, that there are legends, myths, stories, of a global flood among every major ancient culture. That makes a global flood very likely.”
Well, why dont you try putting a tree under water (With the intense waves of a flood mind you) for 40 days and 40 nights, and see what turns up. Yes, I know there are legends and myths of floods. That’s because the majority of ancient cultures lived around rivers and such, and they flood. Global Flood, I think not. Wouldn’t you beleive “the whole world” was flooded even if it was only in your region (Since you didn’t know ther was a “rest of the world”).
And about the Gothic thing, don’t be a wiseass, you knew what I meant.
Good song!! That’s my favorite song ever by them. :))) Pretty easy to play on the guitar too.
And HEY!! Malcompetent!! Good comment!! I can assure you, the size alone scared me away from reading a single word of it! Congratulations whoever you are!
