I'm mad. I can't go to the book expo in DC saturday. Since I lugged my mother to walters art gallery Wed. she said I have to babysit because she has a party. Ugh. Plus she said I wasn;t going anyway cause she didn't want me down their by myself. I'm not a child. I'm almost 20. Not a lot of people share the interest in books like I do. Man I really was excited to meet stephenie meyer, sarah dessen, and a bunch of other cool writers. Oh well. So tomorrow I have to get up at 9 and get nicole then head to Dunkin Donuts for a wake up call. I have a meeting at work at 10. THen my friend asked me if I'd watch her baby so I said yea. SO I have to get her after the meeting. ANd I have to finish an online final.
I watched da vinic code thursday night. I loved it. Whats the big whooping deal if jesus had a kid. I think it just scares people because most of them are brainwashed into thinking a certain way and if someone was telling/showing that what you know may be wrong it totally pisses them off and deep down scares the hell out of them. If you were a strict strict uhm lets see born again christian...and jesus born and died a virgin and was so god like blah blah blah, then are told oh he married mary magdelene and had a child and there is a surviving blood line today that would freak them out. Jesus was after all a Man. He wasn't a superhero like some portray and I'm sure he made mistakes like you and I. Wow sometimes I get a little too carried away with religion. I guess the fact that I've been preached to about how I shouldn't think for myself (more or less) really pisses me off even further. Hey I believe in God just like most people but I'm not going to live my life by the bible. I think it's a possibility some of that stuff could be wrong. I'll take my chance. And it doesn't mean I'm going to hell. People can believe what they want. I won't treat you any differently. But if you want to come preach to me (i've had it in the past) I won't listen. I'll tell you to please back the fuck up and go tell someone who cares. I've been told that reading on certain subjects is me fooling around with the devil. I've been told people are going to pray for me. It's not going to make me stop broadening my mind. I love stuff that people despise. It makes it even more interesting to me. If you tell me not to read something I'm going to do it. I was raised to think for myself and come to my own conclusions not to believe what someone else is telling me. Guess what People lie, and most people believe them. That's why I like the religion I was baptized into. Methodist. Their people with open minds. They listen to others. They aren't strict. They realize people sin but don't condone them for it. I think some religions are just out there a bit, but it's my opinion.
When I heard about the da vinci code and how much certain religions wanted to ban it, I definetly jumped at the idea to read it. It's just who I am. I love the supernatural, the undiscovered, the unthinkable, and the unattainable. Maybe that's what makes me the interesting person some people find me to be. But I'm just happy that I was raised to be open minded so that I can open my mind to new and exciting possibilities.
Wow this entrt was long. Hope you enjoyed ;)
