Yahoo! News - Court Deals Blow to Bush on Combatants

   [ posted  @ 12:12 AM ] [ (0) comments ]

Movie Review:

Great title huh?

Yeah so I say Fahrenheit 9/11 this evening. I have to say it was a little hard to watch. There was a lot of information to take in, and it was hard to watch some of the footage. I am glad I saw it though. It is something that everyone should see.

Critics are complaining that Moore makes President Bush look like an idiot. Well, it is true; but I think the President was doing a good job of it himself.

It is impossible to do justice to the film. You just have to see it. So, get the 6.50 for a matinee. Go see it. Bring a friend.

Oh yeah, and if you are old enough to vote, don't vote for an armed terrorist like Bush. If you are too young to vote, make your voice heard.

And for any idiot that says I am unpatriotic because I question our President, or I don't support the war, or for any other reason. This nation was founded by dissent. They were the first American patriots. I am proud to continue the tradition. I might not be proud of everything that my country has done, is doing and will do; but that doesn't mean that I won't work to make my country and the world better.

Ever had one of those moments of utter confusion? You know, when everything you thought seemed to be wrong...

Yeah those suck. I have had more than one in my life. One of the bigger ones was about my faith or the lack there of.

Smaller ones are ok, but the bigger ones stink.

On another note, I have a growing pain in my face. No, I am not looking in a mirror, you asshole.

Ugh, I can't sleep.

Movie Update:

I got distracted by the real world and forgot to post something that I have been thinking about since Saturday.

Go and see Saved! Find a theater that has it, and then get your worthless butt there.

Sure, plenty of people are crying about how rude it is. How it insult christianity. No offense, but it isn't hard to take a valid and intellectual shot at christianity. Besides, if they actually sat through the movie they would realize it was less a shot on christianity and more a shot on people that blindly follow something without questioning it. (Any person serious about their religion will tell you that he/she questions it. That is after all part of faith, the decision to believe.)

The movie portrays a young girl who is horridly confused and has no real world experience. She believes something unflinchingly and when that fails her she turns and starts walking in the other direction. It also shows some of the most common christian, and generalized, religious hypocrisies. From a pastor that would sooner cheat on his wife than divorce her, to a girl so uninformed that she believes gay people can be cured...not to mention the kid that thought you could get pregnant the first time you had sex.

A little explanation. It is hypocritical to say you love someone and then try to 'cure' them, thus changing them from what they are naturally to what is unnatural for them. It is hypocritical to say you keep your children fully informed, when they are in truth ignorant to the basics of something as important as sex. Don't you dare try telling me sex isn't important. If it weren't for sex, I know at least seven girls and three guys that would not be able to pay for college. Besides, it is how you got here. Unless you are a freak of nature. FREAK!!! I can cure you, come sleep with me!!!

Yeah it is a little hot out and I am losing it. Anyhow, see Saved! because it rocks.

Correction:

There is no heaven, there is no hell. If you want to believe that feel free, but NEVER try to push that on me or anyone I love.

This has been a pretty annoying issue since I left that church, so I believe this would be a good time to clear up something rather vital. I have heard from many people the following: I left the church because I was dating a Jewish girl.

Here is a dose of truth for you: I was kicked out.

Originally, I was starting to question some of my faith. I was starting to think things that had no easy solution. I dwelt upon the matter for some time privately. Then I did seek counsel with Pastor Paul. At the time, Julie was a friend. She had a boyfriend, and I was not seeking to replace him. Everyone seemed more concern with isolating me from the outside world then with dealing with the questions I was having. At the time I was in the SONS group. I would have been hypocritical if I were to continue in that group while I was questioning myself so deeply.

I was given the option: Stay and obey OR Leave and not be welcome back into the group. That broke my heart, but I refused to be a hypocrit. It still shocks me that someone I considered such a close friend, Pastor Paul, would give me only those options and care so little about what was going on with me and so much about the appearance of the group. I left the group.

From that point forth, everyone shunned me. They treated me differently. They reacted to me as if I was plagued. There are two perhaps three people in the church that still treated me with respect. The rumors that I left the SONS group for a girl, that I was on drugs and several other rumors coming from people that had only weeks earlier claimed to love me and know me like I was their own child completely shattered the remaining faith that I had.

I left the church.

About seven months later Julie and I did begin to date. Once again though, despite what all those ignorant little gossipers will tell you, in the end I left because I was driven out. I was driven out by the majority of the church, and how they reacted to my presence. I didn't leave for a girl.

I don't expect you to believe that. No one seems to want to believe the truth. They would prefer to exist within the fairytale that they concocted regarding my leaving the church.

**does a little dance**

playtime is so much fun.

small points for dustin:

1.) you're ignorant:

you called me anti-semitic. you don't even know me. if you even had a small understanding of who i was and what i stand for you would know that i am not anti-semitic.

2.) you're arrogant:

you attempted to wave your little IQ around to impress me. every mannerism of yours that i have experienced is dripping with arrogance. this is moderately ironic considering your 'faith.' i suppose it is another example of the rampant empty christian courtesy that is found in your church.

well that is enough of that for me. ignorance bores me.

Julie's Response

I would like to place in the beginning of my post that Rosey: You are an absolute sweetheart, and thank you for backing me up as well. Hearing and reading about some of these comments this character has been placing in Seth's journal is just a messy situation. It's nice to know other people feel the same way. Rock on, girlie!! :o)

As for Dustin: It seems that you forget what you write and then refuse to back yourself up, so I'm going to try to help you out. TO START, you wrote, " I have decided to be proud(not arrogant) of where I come from." I am quite proud of my heritage, believe it or not. If you question my values on my own family history, you will want to take it back... be VERY aware of that.

You said you were holding yourself back to an extreme extent. Really, what do you have to say to someone you have never met and tried to outwit? What do you have to say to me that you are holding back so darn much? Because if you believe your balls have finally dropped, and that you have the right to say I am arrogant about my past, just try telling me what your holding back.

You also claimed that Seth was anti-semitic. If you look at Seth's journal under the date - 5/19/04, you said: " I do not appreciate your anti-Semitic idiocy." Either you have extreme short-term memory or you are just ignorant, because he is my best friend and we also dated for two years. If he were anti-semitic, that would mean he would try to stay AWAY from me - he would not want to be in my company because of my past and my beliefs. But GEE WILIKERS, he has come to temple with me and has joined my family on many high holidays. And guess what? there are even MORE Jews around him during those times! Your acting meshungina.

Either way, I'm trying to say that your behavior is a little overbearing. No, VERY overbearing. Your trying to say my opinions are wrong by hovering over them with your OWN ideas, which was my biggest concern when writing to you about doing the same EXACT thing to Seth, and now you are doing it to Rosey and Annie as well. Just quit trying to be a higher authority.

P.S. I heart Canada!!!

Time to ramble:


"In heaven, everything is fine." -modest mouse

Yeah, today was nasty hot, and I am glad that I was working inside and air-conditioned office all day. I pity the people that had to be outside and sweat all day. I salute you brave warriors under the sun.

"Someday, there'll be a cure for pain. That will be the day I throw my drugs away" -morphine

I am lucky. I have a great family, even though they drive me nuts. I have the bestest friend in the world. I have a wonderful job. I have the hook up. I have a car. I have food. I have clean air. I am lucky. I wish I could share this with the whole world. Maybe, someday, I could make a small impact in someone's life that would positively change them.

"The greatest beauty on earth is foun in the hearts of those who love." - my dad's coffee mug

Kill me and a two will take my place.


I saw this beautiful girl at work today. When I first entered the office she was seated at a desk. She had on this wonderful outfit that suited her body well. It was not revealing at all, but it showed her off to be the most beautiful girl in the world. I dunno, in that moment I fell in love with her all over again. Even though she hit me...

"whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" -my fan behind me

So, I think I should be in bed. I am wondering why Annie is not around much these days. I know that she is busy with her life, and I could never hold anything against her. She is such a nice girl, and she has been a friend for longer than most have known me. This spot is to be known as the Annie Rules spot. So, ANNIE RULES.

"Kill your health and kill yourself." -Soundgarden

I noticed that this is a long post, and I have said little to nothing. I could bring it to an end, but I need something to do. Yes, I definately need something to do.

_{You left me high and dry it changed me
You lied to me now I am angry
And if the sun comes in your room
And awakens you from your vanity
You won't find me 'cause I'll be
On top a mountain pissing on your grave}


Yeah, check out the audioblog. It is interesting. I can call from anywhere, record a message and within minutes it is online in my blog. That is kinda funny. oh well.

Here We Go:

Another day, another thing to love...or some shit like that. Visited the mother at her office today. First time in a couple days that I have seen her so it was nice. J-dawg came along. It is hilarious because my mother introduces Julie as her daughter...she corrects it a minute later, but it is cute. They love her more than me. It is the truth. I swear it.

"I take a couple uppers, I down a couple downers but nothing compares to these blue and yellow, purple pills."

By the way Nair smells...really bad. Reeky legs!!! (No I did not use the Nair. Not this time.)

Yeah that is all I can think of at the moment. Other than outsourcing rocks. People in India rock!!! Go Madhu!!!

Yup, it is 0002 and I am listening to Das Ich -Distillat (VNV Nation Mix) on repeat. There are many things that we can learn from heavy EMB/Industrial music. This is even more true when we are talking about songs sung entirely in german. Random fact, Yiddish comes from ancient German. Schnifty.

Bush Bullshit


Stop-Loss


_{This is a great idea. Piss off the people that actually are willing to fight for the country. Then when they give up, draft everyone else. Canada is looking so good. I hope every snotty, retarded, ignorant American that gives less than two shits about what is happening gets drafted.}
