Just so you know, we are not allowed to be cooler when we're older ( Read more... )

What is this stemming from?

Ah, Pedro the Lion. I like him, though I have to be in the right mood to listen to his music.

I do like Pedro. I think that Winner's never quit is my favorite album (sometimes... It's hard to find a friend is usually my favorite... and then the other ones are for shorter periods of time).

It's not really stemming from anything more than rambling. And people are really shallow.

i am awfully terrified of aging in general, which i know is a sign of bad character, but i think that old ppl are definitely allowed to be cool after they are dead. so theres hope. just, after we're dead.

It may be a sign of bad character but I think that I think about it a lot. Maybe no more than other people. Maybe other people don't contemplate it at all because they just assume that aging will go well or they ignore it.

And When I'm dead, I don't know if I'll care if people will think I'm cool, which makes me think I shouldn't care now. And I don't care (really, I think...maybe not)

hi, my name is Brett, I enjoy long walks on the beach and romantic candel-lit dinners. I am new to your neck of the woods and I am looking for a date. I think those seminary students are cute, and I would think you are cool if we got to hang out sometime....

TIM!!!!

i need your help. i hope you dont think i exploit your intelligence, but i am writing this paper on the story of abraham/isaac and the difference btwn the story in the quran. it involves comparing ishmael's willingness to die and knowledge of his imminent death and how that compares with isaac not knowing he was to be sacrificed. But now Im wondering if there are any stories in the Old or New Testament of prophets (not Jesus) who willingly sacrificed their life (or came close) for the sake of faith, without being given a reason. Maybe I could compare stories. this is vague, but if you can think of anything let me know. thanks tim.

despite the many glaring spelling errors cause I didn't read it over, one of the corrections is reconciliation not reconcillitation or whatever I wrote

As I was falling asleep I thought of Jonah too.

Jonah rebelled bitterly about going where God wanted him to go. And eventually God had Jonah go to the Assyrians in Nineva to preach a judgment of sorts on them that there was no forgiveness and what would happen. (the Assyrians were the ones who obliterated the Northern Kingdom 10 tribes of Israel) Jonah hated them and didn't want God to help them so at least he was happy about this judgment in that sense. Well the Assyrians ended up repenting and God ended up forgiving them. Jonah through a hissy fit. He was told to go do this thing and he had no idea that God would do something different. It is a sacrifice of sorts. He had no idea what God's plan was...or he thought he had and idea and God chose to be forgiving and Jonah was pissed. Ok thats it...

and don't worry about exploiting me. I don't mind at all. at all
