Are you weak in the upperstory?

Despite this disturbing poster I am in pretty good spirits. It's a lazy Easter Sunday and what better way to commemorate and celebrate the resurrection of Christ with laying around and enjoying good ol' relaxtion. That's right. Today I am doing nothing, but sleeping, eating, reading, and other unstrenous, but fun activites. Hoopla!

Admidst all my enjoyment and stuffing delicous deep fryed turkey into my face I had a dangerous revelation. If I'm not careful I'm going to forget that not everyone knows the significance of Jesus in their lives. I found myself this morning finding it hard to remember what it was like before I became saved. I just subconsciously kind of assumed that people all knew about Jesus and how he died for every one of us, taking our sins to the cross with him, giving us a way to access God. That is very dangerous. Before Jesus left he gave Christians the command to convert people to christianity and disciple them. I think too many of us have forgotten this commision. Alot of christians think that these commands are only for certain people, but that's not true. No matter what are occupation in life is, no matter where we are, we are called as christians who know the truth to tell other people about it. Not telling people whould be like having the cure for cancer and not ever letting anybody know what it is. Instead of the cure for cancer specifically we know the source to end suffering, give life meaning, we know the one who created all mankind and the earth, we know the one who holds the future in his hands, we know intimately the Father, and it would be a shame for us to sit on that valuable piece of knowledge and not share it with those who still need it. Can you remember what life was like before you were saved? Some of you can't. Some of you have been christians since you were little kids. For those of you who can remember what life was like before you accepted Jesus' sacrifice, before he cleaned you up, and showed you what a relationship with God can do, if you can remember imagine what life would be like not ever knowing. There are people out there that are living that life right now. What are you going to do about it? For those of you who have known your whole life the same applies. Look at the lives of people who don't know and tell them so they can know God and live. If you find yourself looking at the lives of people who don't know Christ and you ask yourself, "What's wrong with their lives, they're just like mine?" Then you might want to do some revaluating. Knowing Christ should change your life and if it doesn't then something is wrong. Seek this out and pray for God to change your heart. We should all feel for those who are still lost, don't let the message of Jesus become meaningless to you. A way to keep it meaningfull is to share it with those who don't have it. Just think about all that.

Wow, well I had other things in mind for this post, but I didn't know I was going to type that long. I guess I'll just have to save those other thought provoking, genius comments to myself. Oh well and I'll bet you really wanted to know how to do a quadrouple backflip and kill a pigeon at the same time. See ya.

So it begins.

Well today has been the first day that I have really experienced wedding related stress. I'm getting married in December. That is almost eight months away, so for me we have a pretty long time before we get married and I'm not at all stressed out about. Now my fiance is kinda the opposite. She is freaking out about the wedding, the honeymoon, bridesmaids dresses, groomsmen, reception building, food, music, and a list of other things that are just not bothering me at all. Now this means one of two things. Either I am apathetic and a bus flying at me fullspeed wouldn't stress me out or I just rock until time doesn't exist anymore. For obvious reasons I like to believe that it is the second choice, but if I am truthful to myself and the Statue of Liberty it is probably a mix of the two. Mostly me rocking though, oh and a little modesty. Seriously though I love my fiance more than I can ever say.

Moving on. I have a pretty significant amount of work to do before school lets out for the summer. I have to write 17 pages tonight to turn in tommrow. Now this is just a simple case of me procrastinating badly. All I had to do to not let this assignment build up on me is write a journal page everyday. Long story short, I didn't do it and now I'm paying for it. With this knowledge I'm gonna have to challenge my good amigo AJ and say that I am the worse student that there is. (go to twentythreescadoo.blogspot.com) I am the worst! Give me my prize!

Well..... I am a highly opionated person. Here is the question. Can two highly opionated people be real friends? Or are they just civil to each other for the sake of keeping up the mask of friendship? I am interested to hear what you intelligent readers would say about all that. I guess then with all that said and swimming around why don't ya catch some of it and .... comment.?

Don't give me that psychobabble crap!!!!

This post is going to be purely a venting session on a subject that really pisses me off! If you don't want to hear that kind of thing then don't scroll on, but if your skin is thicker than a grapes then read on.

I hate busy work. I absolutely can't stand work in college classes that has nothing to do with preparing you for a future career or equipping you to better handle life situations. Why the hell am I paying 20,000 dollars a year when a majority of my classes are wasting my time? Don't get me wrong I have some really good classes that are helping me out for what I want to do with my life, but the majority are bull crap classes that are taking my time away from the classes that matter. Taking away from the time that I need to spend working on projects in the classes that really matter.

I understand that we all need math, science, English, psychology! I understand that, but in useless classes like psychology (and by useless I mean that it is a core class and everybody has to take it) don't assign elaborate projects that take up a hell of a lot of time and stress me out beyond what I can express with words. There is no reason for me to spend time outside of class on work that is not specific to my major. Am I lazy? No! I work very hard on the things that matter. I just don't see the practicality of wasting time and money!!! It is enough to make me tear somebody else's hair out! Well I think that with this post and maybe beating up a perfect stranger I'll be able to get over the stress that this class has caused me.

On another note school is only living for another 3 weeks. In 3 weeks I will be able to relax and not have to deal with the stressful pleasures of college life. If you don't know what I mean by that don't ask me because I don't know. I just don't. I just had a random memory from a long time ago. Here it is: this girl that lived down the street from me used to pick on me, but her taunting and attempts to upset me really didn't work all that well because the way that she tried to do it was by calling me the "Jolly Green Giant". I just kind of thought it was funny. I mean I wasn't very tall and I wasn't green so I didn't understand the antagonizing. It just didn't make sense. The only really affect it had on me was that I had a couple of dreams where the Jolly Green Giant would appear randomly. Maybe she was retarded. I don't know.

Well as I go through life being annoyed quite a bit by the everyday hassles of trivial living try to remember me as a happy person. (I told you I was venting) Post the turtle!! Go.
