Ok so I feel like I need to promote edlives a bit. He's spent a long time building on the idea of making all us Xangans Official Wear and Merchandise. Myself? I will buy the teddy bear, a mug that says Addict as well as the daily dose thermos (I think - I'm not quite sure yet).

I applaud you Ed. Good work BFN.

---

So I've pulled an all nighter. Why, you ask? To clean my room of course.

Ok so that's a lame reason. Get off my back. What really happened was I was watching interior decorating shows from about 10pm until nearly 1am and I got inspired to do a few things to my room. I climbed out of bed and got to work.

So now 6 hours later, I'm nearing completion. I don't have much left to do which is good but I've downed more water than a cactus after a long-awaited rain. Hence, the frequent bathroom trips. (No I'm not just trying to freak my suitemates out)

I just looked up and not five minutes ago the sky was dark as dark could be and now, I see the hints of blue creeping across the sky and it won't be long now until the sun decides to get his lazy butt up.

Now some of you are asking, why did you forgo precious sleep to DECORATE your room? I hadn't finished unpacking just yet. As of now, I am officially unpacked and now I'm just picking up and straightening up the odds and ends. My room even smells halfway decent. Oh, no wait. That's just my desk. The rest of the room still reeks. Damn Subway pizza.

I promise, pictures will be taken this weekend of my room and my CAR. I got it back a week ago today  and Ihave only used half a tank of gas. I was given it with 3/4 of a tank. Now, to scrounge up some bucks to fill up the tank before I get on fumes because even then Bobby's gas won't help me.

Speaking of Bobby - here's an update. As of right now, we are not technically dating. Read into that what you will. That is all I'm saying on the subject. Don't leave me comments saying how he's terrible. You don't know the full story. Only two people do and that's it.

Ok I'm going to go finsh up my room before my meeting at 8am. Oh joyous of joys.

I think this question is fitting for me especially since I'm a part of Movie Madness (the best movie review site around). We have top tens but I feel like I ought to change mine around because I see new movies and fall in love wih them all over again. BUT if I had to choose only five top movies here they are.



- Love Actually
- Mamma Mia
- DEAD POETS SOCIETY ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
- Alvin & The Chipmunks
- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen



And of course, my list is better seen on Movie Madness. I hate having to pick just five. There are so many amazing movies out there. If you have any movies to suggest for me to watch and/or review, let me know in a comment and I'll see what I can do. ^_^ Or, you can always drop by Movie Madness and give us some support so we can open as soon as we get all our material organized.

Well I don't have a roommate this year. I'm still not sure yet all the benefits of that but I will tell you some of the annoying things my roommate did last year. Although, I will admit, I do miss it from time to time. It's sad. You have a roommate, they annoy the crap out of you but when they're not your roommate anymore, you miss it. It's a sad cycle.



1) She studied EXCESSIVELY.

2) She NEVER slept during the week but almost all weekend.

3) She picked he carpet. That gets annoying after the 100th time

4) She was OBLIVIOUS to everything even hints that she was interrupting something important



Who else has stories to share? I'd love to hear them.

So it's been a while since I've actually written. The last entry I got NO feedback on WHATSOEVER. Thanks guys. Anyway, I thought revelife would have liked to read it but they never commented or answered my message. *sighs*

Anyway, I've been busy. Well, moreso lazy and then working. I'm not online (on xanga) NEARLY as much. Sorry about that guys but I've got things I'd rather do right now. I need to finish packing, get more sleep, work, get more sleep and get more sleep. I have been playing on Tribal Wars a lot lately but you have to excuse me. I've got 300,000 points now and I really am getting village greedy.

Anyway, update on my car. It has been taken to the shop finally. We got a new door, new windshield, new door post and new fender. The only problems? The door needs to have some things replaced inside it so I can use the window, the handle needs to be replaced so I can open it AND there are two huge long white scratches along the door and around the mirror is splattered in white paint and there is red paint along the door. Ironic isn't it? Other than that, the car is in the shop now to get fixed. We find out once they are done with it how much it will cost to get it re-aligned. Well, cost and time.

As for me and Bobby? Who knows? I've given up on him. We just need to talk when neither of us have had a bad day or are exhausted. I'm usually exhausted though because work is exhausting. I now work at the Meijer down the street from my old highschool as a cashier. Pretty fun. I have some great stories. Comment me to tell them and my next post will be nothing but stories from work.

Anyway, I justfelt like I should update. I need to get stuff made for xanga but alas, I have not the time nor the interest right now. You'll live. I'm gonna go watch a movie but I don't know what movie yet.

FOR EVERYONE planning on voting for Barack Hussein Obama in the 2008/2009 election, I urge you with every ounce of my heart to read this. These are not made up accusations about Obama, and if you believe these things to be untrue, or believe them to be no big deal you are sorrowfully lieing to yourself and this could bring about the moral degregation of our society-completly.
Not that our other candidate is particularly wonderful but we really have no other option: Bad or Worse.

Does what YOU want really count? What about others? Do you really care about what others want, other than your own opinions and desires? Are you really living your life FOR God completly, or is it just a front? Right now is your time to decide. There are many other organizations that are out there right now to eliminate christianity or christian ideals and morals, which is what founded this country, one such organization is the ACLU. Go to their website and do some research, they are supposed to protect the rights of the people of America, except if you are a christian. You want to be able to have a Bible club in your school? ACLU won't help you. But if the school isnt letting a muslim club start up? The ACLU will certainly be there in full force to sue the school board.

I urge everyone to think about these major issues deeply:
1)Same sex marriage ( which the Bible condemns, if you don't believe it then you are once again lieing to yourself)
2)Abortion. The Bible condemns killing, the baby IS a human being regardless of where it is at in the pregnency. If you are reading this, your mother was kind enough not to have forceps placed in her abdomen and have your head crushed because she didn't "want" you. Don't try to fool yourself. Obama is PRO ABORTION- FOR ALL YOU CATHOLICS THAT ARE PLANNING ON VOTING FOR HIM!! This is NOT a lie!! Do not think that any other traits you admire about him outweigh the fact that he wants to make ABORTION LEGAL!
3) Do you really want socialized health care? Yes our economic situation is tough right now, and health care is hard to come by by people on low incomes. But do you really want to be paying more taxes so that they can have crappy health care? Mind you, the health care they get is horrible at best. Canada has socialized healthcare. People wait in line for heart transplants and the government decides who gets it.
We really do not want socialism in our country. Is america Socialist? NO, but its heading down that road fast.

There are other issues to think about, such as the war, but they are not as big right now as the one sole issue of demoralizing the American public and wiping christian morals off the map.

The war can wait.... FAR less people have died in the past 5 years than died on D-DAY IN 1942 ALONE! We will be out of Iraq soon enough as a storng military presence, 4 years is not too long to wait! Iraq is at a turning point right now and crime is going down. We need to hold out just a little longer before leaving so that when we do leave, it does not completly collapse on them. Again, we need to think about OTHERS here, not OURSELVES AND OUR SELFISH DESIRES. Well you may say we got ourselves into this mess with Iraq, I have my own opinions on that. But if we got ourselves into it, we certainly owe it to the Iraqi people to clean up and finish the job and not leave them hanging. After that they are on their own.

I strongly urge you to think about these issues completly before making our decision in the election, dont make a blind decision. Make sure you do lots of research on these things.

One last note before I leave you with this article to read: DONT be one of those rotten people that decide not to vote. By doing that you are doing a dis-service to our country. Enough people "not voting, because I'm only one person and don't make a difference" can mean the difference between Mccain or Obama, which ever you chose... which ever you see as the lesser of two evils you CAN'T leave it up to others to do your job. With all of your educated research about the candidates, and ONLY after, and what you have found to be important in your moral life as a christian living for God, then get out there and VOTE FOR YOUR COUNTRY.

Dear Right vs Left Supporter,

Please find below an important message from Gary Cass, President of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission.

Thank you,
Right vs Left


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear friend in Christ,

We may be in trouble. BIG trouble.

Jesus said "…and many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people." (Matt 24:11)

Barack Obama has publicly proclaimed "I am a Christian." Yet disturbing information detailing Obama's positions on his fundamental beliefs about "the path to heaven," the sanctity of human life, and his lack of support for the biblical definition of marriage have been surfacing. The main stream media has barely reported these beliefs, or hidden them completely. My name is Gary Cass, Chairman and CEO of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission (CADC) and we are going to do something about it.

Soul damning deceptions are emanating from this year's presidential campaign.

It was recently reported in the Wall Street Journal that Barack Obama's campaign is making a concerted and deliberate effort to cast him as a "mainstream" Christian. To support this mainstream Christian "image," Obama chose to leave his church of 20 years after his radical, liberal pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright was publicly exposed for his hate filled, anti-American rants, including the outright taking of God's name in vain.

It is becoming clear that Barack Obama appears ready to redefine or at least deconstruct the historic faith and values of Christians like you and me to further his political agenda.

Christians MUST hear this truth and get ALL the facts. The mainstream media is simply going to echo the talking points provided to them. CADC is working as quickly as possible to produce a video to make the facts about Barack Obama's beliefs available to everyone in America. Our video will expose the misinformation and misdirection which is being promoted as "hope" to Americans who haven't had the opportunity to hear about the REAL Barack Obama. But video production is expensive and we can't do it without the help of people like you.

Please help us finish the Obama video Christians across America MUST see!

The conversation about the 2008 presidential campaign is critical for Christians.

According to Jesus Christ, to be a Christian of any kind, "You must be born again." (John 3:3) While many take this truth for granted, proclaiming this truth has become quite controversial.

During recent CADC radio interviews, this truth has elicited an astoundingly strong reaction from some listeners who called the various programs. Many of these callers find the biblical standard of needing to be born again in Christ to be extremely objectionable.

Where is Barack Obama on being reborn in Christ?

A political flier was recently distributed by the Obama campaign in Kentucky. On the cover, candidate Obama is pictured standing in a traditional, protestant pulpit with a large cross behind him. The flier goes on to recount Obama's spiritual conversion, saying "Obama felt a beckoning of the spirit and accepted Jesus Christ into his life." The text reads like the transcript of a Southern Baptist testimony meeting.

But does Obama's profession of Christianity hold up under closer examination? Since only God knows the true heart of a person, how are we to determine if Obama is sincere or merely one of the "false prophets?" Fortunately, ageless biblical truths point to the actions of a committed Christian, which can provide the answer.


A true Christian must affirm the biblical, historic doctrines of the Christian faith.

There are many doctrines that all Christians have affirmed throughout the history of Christianity. However, the most essential truth of the Christian faith is that Jesus Christ is the one and only Savior of the world. Without Christ, there is no Christian faith and as a result, no salvation.

In an interview with Christianity Today, Obama said, "I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian. I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe that that faith gives me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life." This certainly sounds like the testimony of a Christian. But wait, listen a little more closely. He said "a path."

And in a book entitled, The God Factor: Inside the Spiritual Lives of Public People, Obama is quoted proclaiming, "I believe there are many paths to the same place."

Barack Obama's theology is not consistent with biblical, Christian teaching!

The belief that there are "many paths to the same place" denies that Jesus Christ is the only Savior of the world. To say "faith gives me a path" is disingenuous and quite evasive - typical political speak. Notice that Obama is very careful not to make the true Christian confession, "faith in Christ alone gives me the path to be cleansed." (Eph. 2:8; Acts 16:31). Jesus cautioned believers, "If you will not confess me before men, I will not confess you before my Father in heaven."


Obama wants you to believe he is a Christian even as he denies the most central truth of Christianity. Talk about audacity!

Obama's theology becomes even more disconcerting when you consider the influence of his spiritual mentor for 20 years, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Wright is a self–identified Black Liberation theologian and a disciple of Dr. James Cones, the leading intellectual of the Black Liberation theology movement of the 1960s.

In his seminal work, Black Theology and Black Power, Cones defines Black liberation theology. In it he says, "Black Theology will accept only the love of God who will participate in the destruction of the white enemy." Destruction of the "white enemy?" Cones is attempting to associate Christianity with the destruction of an entire race!

This is a proclamation of hate, not an assertion of hope, and it is certainly not a biblically founded Christian theology.


With the video we are planning right now, we will alert Christians to the theology of Obama and expose how contrary his beliefs are with our traditional Christian values.

Please help CADC today, as we produce the video Christians across America NEED to see!



A True Christian Upholds and Promotes Christian Morality / Policy

While salvation is a free gift given to all who trust on the Lord Jesus Christ, the fruit of a true and living faith is seen by obedience to God's Word. This moves us into the realm of ethics and public policy.

Traditional marriage is central to Christianity.

One man / one woman marriage is God's created order. Christianity reserves sexuality for marriage and forbids homosexual acts.

In an interview with the homosexual newspaper, The Advocate, Obama said "homophobic" messages are coming from the pulpits of black churches because "most African-American churches are still fairly traditional in their interpretations of Scripture."

Obama praised his pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, for being on the correct side of the homosexual debate, apparently because Wright embraces the liberal, non-traditional way of reading the Bible.

Obama says he supports "the complete repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act" and calls for the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in the military.

This sounds more like a politician appealing to his ultra liberal following, not a follower of Christ. Armed with CADC's video, Christians will not only be informed about Obama's desire to deny traditional marriage, but have a video they can share with family and friends that clearly illustrates the audacity of Barack Obama and his views.

Please help make sure other Christians across America know the TRUTH!

Christianity has always advanced the sanctity of innocent human life.

The belief in the sanctity of life is rooted in the Christian view that all people bear the image of God. To murder an innocent person is essentially an attack upon the image and likeness of God. Where Christian ethics are embraced, the taking of innocent life through abortion, euthanasia and other unjust means has ended.

Yet the most egregious disregard for the sanctity of human life is going on in America today: the heinous practice of partial birth abortion. This "procedure" is when a full term, or nearly full term, baby is killed while in the process of being delivered.

In 1997, Barack Obama voted against banning partial birth abortion, failing to support a bill that would have made it a felony to murder a partially born baby. Again in 2000, Obama voted against limiting partial birth abortion by failing to support the banning of state funds for this purpose. While the typical liberal rant is "what about the mother," BOTH of these pieces legislation offered the provision to make an exception to save the life of the mother.

Yet for Barack Obama, it's only murder if a baby is in a mother's arms, not her womb – or at least partially in mother's womb… This is infanticide, DEFINITELY not a Christian value.

Please do your part to insure the production of the CADC video that illuminates the REAL Barack Obama for Christians across America!

Christianity promotes liberty of conscience.

There is a concerted, though rarely reported, effort to censor the free speech of Christians in America today under the auspices of "hate crimes" legislation. These laws are a threat to religious liberty and freedom of conscience because they criminalize certain ideas and kinds of speech.

Certainly not Christian beliefs, right? By speaking their mind or reading parts of the Bible that condemn homosexual acts in countries with hate crime laws, Christians have been fined and jailed. Almost every week there is a report of how Christians are being charged with "hate crimes," merely for upholding Christian morality.

Could this happen in America? Barack Obama voted FOR changes to federal hate crimes laws (S. 1105) in 2007. Under this legislation, a pastor who identifies homosexuality as sin as defined by the Bible, could be open to prosecution for "hate speech." Having passed both houses of Congress, the last hope to stop this further censorship on Christianity is …the President. Is this the "change" that YOU and YOUR FAMILY are looking for?

Please help us get this video produced and in the hands of Christians,
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

In this political season, the Christian faith is under an unprecedented attack!

On the Barack Obama campaign flier with him on the cover standing in a Christian pulpit, the text reads, "Faith. Hope. Change." It ought to read, "Apostasy. Hate. Depravity." Obama, in his attempt to deceive Christian voters, is in the process of deconstructing the Christian faith.

Please help us with our production costs. Video is one of the most effective means of conveying the truth that all Christians MUST hear. Send your most generous gift today, so that we can make sure that Christians across this great land are informed. Please help keep our nation from moving farther away from our Christian foundations. When Barack Obama redefines Christianity, he defames Christianity.

Please make your most generous contribution today!

We will not let the attacks by liberals like Americans United for Separation of Church and State stop us!

The only thing that will stop us is a lack of support from caring people like you. Today, I am turning to you, and asking you to help …for God, for Country and for our children. Working together we can put this video in the hands of Christians across America and we CAN keep politicians from defaming Christianity and redefining its most important tenets and values.

Thank you in advance for standing up for Christ and partnering with CADC in this most urgent matter.

To God be the Glory,

Dr. Gary Cass
Chairman / CEO

PS - Time is slipping away. Barack Obama is preparing to spend MILLIONS to create his "mainstream Christian image." Doing this could deceive millions into a false belief that there is a way to salvation other than Jesus Christ. CADC urgently needs your help to continue defending Christian beliefs and produce the video that will spread the truth to America throughout these critical summer months.

Please, pray for CADC and send your best gift today!

Again, thank you.
