these days...

kids have kids.

MYSPACE

Remember the good ol' days when Myspacers kept getting comments saying, "YOU HAVE WON A FREE MACY'S GIFT CARD!"? That was so hilarious! If you somehow acquired the virus, you then would make an obligatory bulletin apologizing for spamming everyone's wall.

Myspace is dead. It has come to its inevitable end. RIP. When will I get the courage to delete it?

Sling Blade

I was half doing homework while watching Sling Blade today. I couldn't resist. It was a lot different watching it now as opposed to when it came out 10 years ago. One part really caught my attention...
Karl Childers (Billy Bob Thornton) says to the mother and son's gay friend Vaughan Cunningham,

"I don't reckon you have to go with women to be a good daddy to a boy.
You been real square-dealin' with me. The Bible says two men ought not lay together.
But I don't reckon the Good Lord would send anybody like you to Hades."

I know it's just a story but it's amusing to me that someone who is mentally retarded has figured out that gay people aren't going to hell because of their sexuality but most of the world hasn't figured this out. Maybe they don't want to admit that something they are supposed to believe in is wrong. Maybe they feel like if they decide one part of the Bible is wrong, they will have to say it's all wrong.

To the people who think it is a choice: Why would someone choose to be something that everyone hates? That's just an idiotic theory.

And if there is a God, I don't think he would make people a certain way and then tell them to be something else. I also don't think God is the way humans have represent him. I don't think homosexuality is a perversion of the way things "should be," I think that people pervert what God would want of us. Why would God carve out a specific group to hate? Maybe it says we are not supposed to condemn others in the Bible but when it is specifically carved out the homosexuality is a sin, what do you think is going to happen?

Why does there always have to be someone to hate?

RUNXAMERICA

If you want to be the fastest unsupported person to run across America, you have to run it in less than 71.27 days.

Martin Ilott completed the journey from Huntington Beach, CA to Central Park in NYC, NY averaging close to 46 miles per day with the total mileage being 3,260.

I would like to do this one day. I have to figure out how to train enough, take more than two months off from work, and not die. Only a certain kind of person can be an ultra-marathoner, and I am not sure if it's for me.

DENY/Doubt

I knew there were Holocaust denialist but not AIDS denialist
. They question HIV being the cause of AIDS.

I saw Doubt. Please save your money although Meryl Streep cry-yelling the word "doubt" at the end is alllmost worth it. lol.

2009

I have to run more. Need some muscles.
This year I hope to get a sweet job and find my niche in the legal world.
I want to try to be a better friend. I want to find the balance between being honest and being offensive/rude (is this possible?).
I also want to send more letters which I have been slacking at over the last few months.


Polar Bear Plunge next month. I'm really looking forward to this because I suck in the cold so it will be especially challenging for me.
Uggs everywhere but I'm almost getting used to them.
My mom is hoping for bad weather on January 20th for Obama's inauguration.

and RIP Sparks which is "fundamentally dangerous." Yes, but I like it.
