Florida Follies

Well it seems as if the trip went as fast as I thought it would. I wish it would have been longer or slower. I enjoyed every minute I spent down here though. The first day we went to Islands of Adventure. It was totally awesome. The rides were really fun and the lines weren't that long. The best ride had to be the Spiderman. It was a 3-d ride where you were being saved by Spiderman. It was really cool. I can't help but sound like a 12 year old when I write this but y'all can deal. Well, most of you. But anyway, the second day we went to universal studios. It wasn't as great as I thought it would be. The actors seemed very amateur and not convincing. The best ride though was the Mummy. The pyro was incredible. There was fire on the ceiling and 3-D spiders that freaked everyone out. The picture was also worth a thousand words. Me and Matt's expression was priceless. The next day we went to downtown Disney which was also a disappointment. The Virgin Record store was not what I was expecting. It was very unorganized and everything was grouped together. I saw a megadeth and Moby album in the same rack. I was supposed to buy about 5 cd's but on purchased one and that was a Prong CD, Which is quite good. Well that's about it. The bus ride was a bus ride. thirty some people one bus for nearly 24 hours, what would u expect. So yeah it was a good trip over all and I shall write more in a few

Introducing the newest contributor to your local blog...

Hey there! Today is my first contribution to this fine blog. I wanted to start of with a bang--you know--something controversial, yet not trivial, something exciting, but not irrelevant, something important, but not boring, so I bring to you a post about study halls. Yes, study halls. As a student teacher, I have come to the belief that study halls are a waste of time (yours and mine). Students neither study, nor hall.

As a Christian teacher, I find myself using study halls as a time to get to know my students and let them know I care about their concerns. My students use the study hall to talk, yell, bicker, laugh, throw things, annoy each other, annoy me, and create general chaos.

Have mercy on your study hall teachers! Bring something to study--perhaps your Bible? We might not be allowed to read in front of you, but we would find encouragement watching you read in front of us!

That is all--now leave me! :)

Satanic Music Is The Worst

Something I'm trying to dabble into is more secular metal music. I have received some music from jay and it is good. Something I can't stand is satanic metal. It is terrible. Every song sounds the same and they have nothing better to sing about than killing Jesus or Heaven burning. I was flipping through itunes and found a band called Deicide. They are one of the worst bands I have heard. They have no talent. They may be able to growl and scream till their throats bleed but they suck royally. They can't come up with a song about something other than death to Christians or bashing the bible. It's like they can't or they are too stupid to know anything else. I'd like to see them make a Christmas album. Yeah that would be funny wouldn't it? They are also some of the most fake people ever. They act all tough on stage but in with out their masks and make up they are a bunch of pansies. They talk about Christians being fake when they are just as fake as some of them. I would like to meet one of these bands to see if I could outsmart one of these bad boys of metal. Now, I know a lot of these guys burn churches and all this stuff but I could care-less. A lot of these guys could be tossed through a window and break every bone in their body falling into a big air mattress. They are really wimpy and small. The only thing good I can say about them is that metal wouldn’t be where it was without them. Well there ya go. If you don't like it...SUCK IT

What I Believe Part 1

I believe that their is a God that has created us and cares for us like his own children. I believe he created us in a way that we were meant for something. Whether it is to cure cancer or to make people smile. He created us to preach his word to the lost. I'm not saying that Christians are perfect little angels who don't do anything wrong. It says in the bible we follow that nobody is perfect. I also believe that people have their right to choose. I may not agree with what it is but I guess it’s your choice. By this I mean, I think that it's stupid that guys wear girl pants, I think homosexual people have the choice to be gay and as my religion says and what I believe in, homosexuality is a sin. Not that it’s any worse than murder or lying but its gross and wrong. I have a problem with homosexuality not homosexuals. I also believe that if you have sex before you’re married and get pregnant, that you have full responsibility of that child. You were the careless one that either had unprotected sex or was too eager to wait to have sex. That kid is yours. As soon as the baby is conceived it has DNA. It’s already alive. Abortion is homicide. It is killing a baby which is murder. If you’re too much of a coward to accept what u have done, then you are a loser. Something else I believe is that Christian culture is very much different than what it was a long time ago. I can wear black and listen to heavy metal music and still be a Christian. I can wear what I want to church and still be a Christian. Appearance is not what matters. It’s what in your heart not on your body. I also believe that people who judge the music I listen to (Christian Heavy Metal) are ignorant of this music. They take no time to listen to it or even make an effort to listen to it. You people that listen to 30 seconds of a song and say it’s stupid or gay are very ignorant and shallow. Well I shall have more at a later date good bye for now

Problems In The World Of Worlds

Have you ever had those people that come up to you and tell you how to live or bash the way you are? I get that all the time. People will say things like,"Hey you're a Christian you shouldn't listen to metal music. You should be listening to Point Of Grace and Bill Gaither." Now Billy G. is a great artist but he doesn't tingle my taste-buds when it comes to musical style. I like the heavy, loud, bang your skull on desk, kind of music. I like most forms of rock: Metal, Hard rock, Alternative, classic, just about anything you can think of. Except for alot of the stuff that Micah (former blogmate) listens too. He's into the Indie scene and I'm not. Anyway, alot of people at my school think that to be a Christian band you can't scream, jump around on stage, or talk about other issues besides God and Heaven. Well I have news for you people. About 99.9 percent of all Christian metal, rock, punk, emo, bands sing about drugs, sex, drinking, partying, and even cutting. They also sing about their creator and salvation but its sporadic or in metaphors. Most Christian rock artists have the nuts to sing about these things. In The Showdown's new record, they say the word, Whore and Bastard. Does any one doubt their faith? I don't. The song 'Fanatics and Whores' talks about people that "sell" Jesus and make money from him. Let's take a look at the word "whore" for a second. When somebody calls someone a whore, they are saying they do 'it' too much. I think whore means someone who does 'it' too much for their own satisfaction. Hmm, these people that 'sell' Jesus do it too much (sell Jesus) for themselves (make money). Well, to me this song bashes the 'whores' of Christianity. Let's examine another song by these no good Christian metal bands. Living Sacrifice was a pioneer of Christian metal. They had numerous albums finishing with greatest hits. A song off of that greatest hit was a song called 'In Christ'. The song talks about being a part of Christ. Here are some of the lyrics, "I am in Christ, the son of God, I am in Christ, No longer condemned, I am in Christ the son of God, I am in Christ Resurrected" Well I don’t think this is satanic or not Christian in anyway. Even in the Bible it says to worship God in song. In Psalm 150: 3-5 it says," Praise him with trumpet blasts; Praise him with harps and lyres. Praise him with tambourines and dancing; praise him with stringed instruments and flutes. Praise him with loud symbols; praise him with crashing symbols." The last time I checked a guitar is a stringed instrument and a drum kit has loud, crashing symbols. These men and some women are only doing what their God has told them. If you can't handle the metal, stick to Rebecca St. James and Point Of Grace.
Some people make fun of the way I live. They think because I have long hair that I am a female. I can assure you that I'm not. I have the video tape of my birth. If you would like to see it I will gladly let you borrow it. You can see my unit quite clearly. I am not by any means a girl. If you don't like my hair, my hair doesn't like you. You can SUCK IT. If you think your all big and pick on me we'll see who's big on the field or on the court.
If it's so wrong for me to wear black, have long hair, and listen to uplifting metal music then this world is gonna turn into another Nazi nation. If you don't like the way I live then you sir can...SUCK IT

It's Called Being A Kid Not Ignorance

I have noticed over my teenage years that the older generation has not taken a liking to some of our lifestyles and the things it has to offer. Let's take the heavy metal lifestyle. What does it consist of: Long hair, black clothes, and loud music? I like it. Jay likes it too. It's how we live. If you were to tell me or jay to change our clothes because it's the color of Satan we would tell you to stop wearing rainbow colors because it's the color of gay people. Or maybe something like,” You can't listen to Akon because he talks about sex." How does that grab ya? If I can't listen to Killswitch Engage then you can't listen to Justin Timberfake. I would love to fight someone on the topic of music or attire. Especially in school. People always ask me why I wear religious shirts to school. I do it because none of the other the "Christians" at my school don't have the balls to wear anything of that sort. They will get a t-shirt from a youth retreat and that's it. Nothing that says 'Virginity Rocks' or anything like that. It's almost like you guys wear Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, and American Eagle like it's your job. You should be getting paid to wear their clothes except it's the other way around. They butt-rape you with their sky-high prices and you go along. They have their designer jeans that have holes in them. I got my knock-off brand that had holes when I got them at Good-Will. I think the people that don't wear that stuff should get a medal for not falling for the gimmicks. Well I think this is it for this post. If you can make an argument against this, you can SUCK IT
