Beatles Fact

Music video for "Something" from Abbey Road. As the Beatles were not getting along, each segment was shot in isolation.

RANT TIME!!

Ok-So I just read this article and it absolutely infuriates me! As a part of the youth Christian crowd that this article is addressing it makes me sick! I cannot understand how someone who can call them self a Christian can be SO judgmental. Those who are homosexual are not by choice, someone would not simply wake up one morning and decide that they are no longer attracted to someone of the opposite sex. It absolutely pisses me off to hear people argue that homosexuality is a choice and that they do not deserve the same rights as heterosexual couples do. Love is love-love is an unconditional bond between two people- whether they are of the same sex or not and I fully agree with those people that this article is lashing out against.

 I am a Christian, but I am not a fundamentalist Christian! I believe that there are some things that are mentioned in the Bible that just cannot be applied to modern life. If you want proof of this read Leviticus in the Old Testament. This is the book that many use against homosexuality-but one can also read in this book that it is a sin to eat blood (blood pudding) and a sin to eat animal fat.  Also in this book it states that "You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud." Leviticus 11  "And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud:it is unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you" Leviticus 11. 

Everything that is said in the Bible cannot be taken literally-and for those who use the Bible-and especially the passage in Leviticus as means to back up their reasonings against homosexuality better not be eating pork! Do not use the Bible to justify your uneasyness with homosexuality. We are all Gods children. God does not judge and nor should you. 

Below the article that inspired this lovely rant.

Daily Beatles

I think I am going to add a daily Beatles fact. Here is todays:

Eleanor Rigby was recorded today in 1966. As John said, it was "Paul's baby, and I helped with the education of the child..."

A New Day

It is amazing what a difference a couple of days can make. This weekend I was in the worst mood ever, feeling very lonely, bored, and unaccomplished. I was probably feeling this way for many reasons, 1. Because I am not working I have way too much free time, and I do not do well with a lot of free time, 2. I normally do not take my adderall on the weekends-something that I think I am going to change because the difference it makes is amazing, 3. I missed my family! The weekends are always the hardest-I just want to hop in my car and drive to see them! 4. I was lonely-I am beginning to get to know some people down here but I'm thinking I have some self confidence issues because I don't fully feel myself around anyone down here. That needs to change fast. 

This week however I'm feeling much better. The 4 things I noted above still apply but I feel like I am handling it better. During the week I have more to keep me busy and getting to classes and being around people helps. 

So I woke up this morning with a new drive! I am going to put this new found ability to focus and get things accomplish to good use and use my day off to get things done. Recently my mind has gone from a jumbled mess where I could barely here myself think to a place where I could have clear and complete thoughts. Its amazing what a difference that has made in my lift-for instance I can actually sit down and write without getting lost in my own thoughts. 

Well I need to take this drive and apply it to that essay that is due tomorrow! I am so ready for this semester to be over. 

Peace. Love. Dream

Notes from my Heart

We are no longer is love

We grew apart

Those many blissful memories 

are slowly dying in my heart 

There was once a day we said forever

Now I see our love has ended

forever turning into never

We held on for too long

struggling for peace

Fighting for our love

dreaming of a release 

Now 

I'm going to be strong

I'm going to be free

I'm letting go of you

and focusing on me

I gave our love everything

now my heart is in two

I need to love myself

and not rely on you

Accomplishment

Thats right! I just accomplished something-and for those who have ever lived with me or know me well know that this is a huge accomplishment! I fully finished a load of laundry!! Thats right-from washer to dryer to folding and hanging to being put away! All in one day-all in just an hour and a half! Its sad that this could really be considered an accomplishment-but in my very unfocused life something as simple as getting laundry done in one day, and not one week, is a major fete! Not only did I just complete a load of laundry but I also got quite a bit of an essay done, well the rough draft. Its a pretty intense essay- I am applying the Marxist Theory to the popular social networking site Facebook. 

Well now I am going to use this focus and apply it to me finishing off Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! Gnight!

Peace. Love. Dream. 

Giving this a try

I am going to go ahead and try to give this whole blog thing a shot. I have tried once before but didn't really keep up with it. I have so much going on in my mind that I feel like I just need to let it escape in someway-so this will be it. I will probably be using my blog to rant/vent and to type up some poems/lyrics that have been running through my head recently. 

But as for now I have to go-it is the last week of classes and I have a huge paper and presentation due on Wednesday that I have not started on. The end of the semester is ALWAYS so stressful. 

But I am really going to try to keep up with this better-for my own sake.
