And I don’t know if I could ever fight that internal battle again.  I just pray that I can be the best I can for you.

Absolutely revolting sometimes.

Has given me some time to really do some reflecting on things I’ve accomplished in my life so far.  I’m happy with myself right now, I just want to do better, and do good.  I’m ready to make an influence on someone, somewhere.  I just wonder when that will happen?

At the church today.  I’m a Christian and I’m proud to be one, but I also believe that the world was not spoken into existence but created by the hands of God, and that while time is a human concept, it could have really taken billions of years for the world to form (what’s a day to God, anyway?) and evolution is indeed true as well as the scientific formation of the universe.  I know it’s weird. Anyway, on to the theological point of this post.

The church today is a walking pile of hypocrisy.

I get so sick and tired of hearing evangelicals like Billy Graham, Joel Olsteen, and and even political evangelicals like Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum repeat over and over again that marriage is “Intended to be between a man and a woman according to the bible.”  So, just for the fun of it, I want to draw a few things from the book of Leviticus (For those that don’t know, it’s the book that contains Old Testament law about things like homosexuality) and some laws that must be abided by if we insist on leading a religious war on homosexuality:

Don’t let cattle graze with other kinds of Cattle (Leviticus 19:19)

Don’t cut your hair nor shave. (Leviticus 19:27)

If a man cheats on his wife, or vise versa, both the man and the woman must die. (Leviticus 20:10). 

People who have flat noses, or is blind or lame, cannot go to an altar of God (Leviticus 21:17-18)

Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed (Leviticus 19:19)

Do not Gossip (Leviticus 19:16)

And just to sum it up, astronomy, being a drunken son (Whatever that means), being a disrespectful child, perjury, incest, and witchcraft are all punishable by death.

If we’re going to hold a double standard here, US Government, then you are according to the Bible to be executed, correct?  

Oh wait, that cool thing where Jesus said in Mark:

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your mind with all your strength.”  

And that other part where he says:

“Love your neighbor as yourself.  There is NO commandment greater than these.”

So, yeah. 

     Finally, months of studying useless garbage have finally come to an end, and I can finally see the light towards the end of the tunnel that is my bachelor’s degree.  Some of you may not know that I’ve recently decided to head down a different path as far as my career goes.  I’m a history major now, and I want to be a teacher!  

     Finals week was absolute hell for me.  I failed a class for the first time in my college career, which kills me inside because I know I could have done better.  I need to pick it up next semester so I can maintain my scholarships.  For now though, I’m just happy that it’s summer, and I can be relaxed, happy, and care-free for a few weeks until I start my one-session summer course; though I doubt philosophy can be that bad.  

     I’m so happy now.  Just, ready to relax!

Bottle of Vodka.  Best friend I’ve met in college, and Bro-mom?  I’m drunk. And I don’t care, because it’s summer and I still have exceptional grammar, even when I’m half a bottle of vodka in.  

I’m going to march in the Pride of the Southland Band in 2013.  I freakin’ miss it.
