Warning: Gripe Post

Here's my gripe. The bulletin board on myspace is rendered completely stupid as it is constantly spammed with little quizes and chain letters. If anything significant is ever posted on it, you would have to be logged in close to the time it was posted, because in a 1/2 hour or less it will most likely be out of sight as more useless spam has overflowed and pushed the message out of the top 10 new preview window.

"Ah-ha!" you say. "I have a solution! Unfriend the people who spam so no more clutter will clog your bulletin board."

Sorry friend, not that simple. If I were to unfriend the spammers, then I would soon have no friends as they would tell my other friends that I am a snubber and should snub me in turn. I guess my request to remove those retched little quiz thingies is prideful. But really, it is rather shallow and selfcentered is it not, to constantly ask people to read what 50 colors are your favorite, what features you like in the opposite sex, and to not tell your most embarrasing moment. It's like your advertising yourself and only the parts you think will sell well to the other people out there. Oi it's annoying. Every once in a while something good comes through on that bulletin and I have illusions of what it could have been used for instead of the worthless bit space that it is.  

A Question of Pain

We were discussing torture today in my world literature class. The teacher asked my class if torture was something the characters and people of our story were afraid of. My classes reply was one of silence. I found my mouth somewhat shut-up by the silence of the class and lay in my seat dumbfounded. My teacher sharing the same emotions as me fired off another lively inquisition. He asked if we thought torture was something to be afraid of. Still no reply. So he decides then to force an answer out of a randomly selected soul. They reply, yeah I guess. His eyes get wide and he exclaims, YEAH YOU GUESS!

He then asked another person, they replied, I dunno. YOU DUNNO! .......

The discussion then began to take form as people were roused from there lethargic mental states, but I wish to know your thoughts on torture. What do you think of it's practices, should it be allowed? Is it just or unjust, right or wrong? Hit me back with some replies.

Love is all you need

 Love is all you need.

I  have come to this realization during this pass week of my wife's absence. I can't think of anything that I would want or need more then to have her loving presence simply back by my side. I don't want any movies, games, trips, money, flirts, etc. I just want my wife back. That's all that really matters to me right now. With her back, life will take on a new shine and joy.

Take this concept beyond me and my wife now. Is this not true of all things in life? If you had all the power, wealth, technology, everything material the world could offer, but had not one soul to love you, what would you have? Nothing I say. You would be a miserable lonely wretch. If not for the love of a mate, family, or friend, life would be a dull hollow hell.

If you don't believe my word on love being biggest thing in life, look at God and Christ. For God so loved the world he gave his one and only begotten son..... The importance of love is littered throughout the Bible. And for any sensualists out there who might mistake my meaning of love, I do not mean the sensual and sexual side of love, though it has its roles and joys. I am talking about the sacrificial side of love! The side that says, "Hey I'll forget my oneself and look to your good and betterment instead! To you your health and care not mine.

Life is all about love. The rest is just details that go along with it.

Is this Professor real?

I just finished my first class meeting for African American History and was joyfully surprised with the experience. My professor (who is black) walks into the class and begins to introduce himself and the class. He uses some very accessible comedic lines about football teams and such things and then to my jaw dropping astonishment announces that he is a Christian as he's going through his past careers before teaching. It went something a little like this.

" So I quit my management position and decided to go into fulltime miniseries and the service of God. I am a Christian, a 114% to be exact. My christian viewpoints will tend to pop up from time to time in this class. You can argue with me about my faith if you like. It won't matter, you'll be wrong, I'm right for I am the teacher. And if you don't believe in Jesus Christ, I'll flunk you. How's that for being open minded? 

..........silence

The class went from happy laughing at light jokes to dead silence.

Inside I was screaming Halleujah! He was of course not serious about the last couple of bits, but I thought it was great how he sarcastically demonstrated what all those supposed "free-thinking" liberal teachers have been hypocritically promoting in there own classes all these years (by this statement I mean there telling you different ideas are good, and then when someone brings up something different from there own savagely attacking and patronizing it).

I'm going to love this class. He comes right out on issues such as the death penalty and racism, no hiding behind relative answers, and coolest thing of all, is that when he address's problems such as these, he  looks at the root of the problem, the nature of man. I'm afraid I'm liking this guy too much and am just going to swallow whatever he says. But still, it's a better feeling then all the nausea other professors have shoved down my gullet.
