Christians and Mary Jane

Upon rolling some joints at school, my friends inquired what my thoughts were on God and whether or not he thinks it is ok for christians to smoke pot. They were curious because they themselves are christians and they did not wish to do any wrongin' towards the Lord. My response, while not condemming, I believe was the right response. Instead of answering their question I asked question myself saying "If smoking weed WAS wrong in his eyes, would you quit? Cause if you wouldn't then it doesn't matter." I think it should be obvious to anyone whether or not God approves of grass, otherwise they wouldn't hide it, stash it, talk quiet whenever it's mentioned, cover their heads, lower their heads or constantly give reasons for why it is OK whenever its place in their lives is questioned.

Ball of Twine by Louis XIV

I'll take a ball of twine and I'll twirl ya
Like a yo-yo on the ground
Ya come up before ya come down

To a ball of twine you're like a yo-yo
running on the ground
You come up before you fall down

Well God saved the Kinks
From the music and the big pinks
'Cause sonny boy, well he's better than ya think

And there are things that I hear on the radio
Where they're singing all the same music fablio
I'd rather listen to the jets from the kitchen sink
So God save the music, and God save the pinks


Lord by Apollo Sunshine

Don't leave me, Lord, if you're really in there

They built you up
Built you so big
So big I can't tell what's imagined
Just a good idea, gone bad
But I LOVE YOU, LORD, for all this
And it's a shame
The way they've made you out
How they made you
They made you some pissed-off man
A whole lot of pissed-off men made YOU

Don't leave me, Lord, if you're really in there

My America

For my digital photography class we were given a project entitled "My America". The aim of the project was to have us students take pictures of things that enveloped our perspective on what america is, and then choose 30 of those pictures to turn in for credit. I originally planned to label all the pictures with songtitles such as "stairway to heaven" and "highway to hell" but the titles wouldn't line up with the pictures, yarrggg.

Movies

These are my thoughts on movies. Any ones that I don't list are probably because they weren't worth remembering.

187:
Bad

Repo Man:
Amazing

Charlie Wilsons's War:
...meh

The Kite Runner

I had to read this book for school, then we had to watch the movie. I actually enjoyed the movie much more then the book, and while it's good, it's just sort of... meh. The characters are VERY good and the relationships really complex, but it's just not that... exciting. It's an interesting journey though. There also some GREAT lines.
