Through my life I've witnessed why it's a such a big deal to marry someone that has the same beliefs as you. My mom is a Christian and my dad isn't...doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but it is.
Just like in dating, if the other person doesn't believe in the same things you do, THEY WILL DRAW YOU DOWN. There's no getting around it, and I've experienced it in a relationship. I watch my mom sit alone in church and then I come home and watch my dad sit alone in the living room. Sunday mornings could possibly be the WORST day for my parents. They share everything in life: love, kids, home, money, laughs, tears, but do they share faith? The one thing that could make them ever so much stronger in life is putting a little "waiting room" or "traffic" in their relationship.
It's probably the saddest thing I've ever witnessed...and I hope that I can learn from their example and not be as lonely on Sunday morning....

Phones- just another disadvantage
Its that time of year again! Every house in America has the familiar sound of phones ringing every hour, and the voice of a republican or democrat is heard on the other end. And if you’re irritated like everyone on in the US, you hang up immediately, or yell into the phone. Personally, I find the latter more…releasing.
Today I picked up my phone, thinking it was someone important…WRONG. A little girl’s voice comes into my ear and she’s going on and on about how she’s twelve but can’t vote and cares about this and that…and I’m thinking to myself, This is a bloody kid! Does she care about what she’s talking about? Probably not. She’s probably gettin’ paid big bucks though to do this! That’s what the cares about!
And like the voice of a 12 year old can sway a party. DOUBT IT! Okay, obviously someone who likes Kerry, killing babies and two guys be able to have sex, WILL NOT change their mind because of a RECORDED voice on the telephone that they could easily silence! DUH! The best way to get people to change their minds is to hypnotize them! And usually that’s done visually. aka Television.
I could totally be on a campaign team…except that I don’t really like our government… but that’s a rant for a different day…say November second.

If I have to write something...
You know what F I N E stands for? Freaked out, Insecure, Neurotic, Emotional. And that’s usually how most people are feeling. Fine is such a generic word, I suppose. You’re feeling like crap and it shows, so the people around you, whether they know you or not- think it’s their business to ask you what’s wrong. And you, feeling like crap, don’t want to tell anyone, let alone complete strangers. So what’s the response you give them? “I’m fine.”
Obviously you’re lying, and hoping that the people will take the hint of what you’re thinking, but if you’re lucky- the people who asked you- are your good friends. And then you can’t get off the hook with a ‘fine’…they know you’re lying!
They ask again and still, you answer, “I’m fine!” But what has to be done to get them off your back? To either tell them, or freak out on them which makes you feel even worse.
But why can’t people just stay in their own business, and why has it become custom to say that we need to “share each other’s burdens”. You know what kind of life your friends have…do you REALLY want your problems to add to that?
Maybe I’m just being pessimistic….and me. I hate telling people the blood it wrong with me, because one, it prolly doesn’t even have to do with them, and two, if I wanted to tell them- they wouldn’t have to bloody ask!
Whoa…I’m getting ahead of myself and my bad attitude it taking over. I better go before I insult anymore people.

Disappointing
I think one of my first posts was about words and the effect they have on people. It blows my mind the kind of mood I've been in lately. My attitude has changed towards my sister and my friends and my mom. I've been insulting people A LOT lately...and just saying RUDE things...and I can't believe the stuff that's coming out of my mouth- truly. I try not to talk...but it's not working so far. I really need to stop though. I say rude things to the people who mean the most to me and I act mean and rude to them as well. *sigh* I wish i knew the cause...then I could "cut it out of myself" as Heather would phrase it.
So I took my PSAT today. Not as hard as I thought it would be....the ENglish thing kinda bummed me out...I realized how slow a reader I truly am. Each section was 25 min. and it took me like twenty minutes to read like four long paragraphs and then I had like five minutes ot answer like 15 questions! It was crazy. And the math section...well there were two...and the second one I liked a lot because i got it and knew how to do it...so all in all, i guess it wasn't a bad experience. I guess I'll take the SAT's in the spring. *shrug*

Should we, really?
I saw a girl today with a handmade poster on her electric guitar case. It said...something about voting no on 39. It makes since. With 2004 being a presidental voting year...who wouldn't be into politics right now? Everyone knows what they believe, what they think should happen or pass and they know why they think that.
For example, one of my friends is strongly for Kerry which absolutely BLOWS MY MIND...but we were talking and I said that if I would vote, it'd be with Bush. A few other friends around me agreed and the Kerry Fan FREAKED OUT. She "of course" knew why I was "pro-Bush" but on the others...she went off. She brought up the two major things in Kerry's campaign. Gay Rights and Abortion. Gay rights she didn't get into...but Abortion she did, and her explanation was weak but interesting. She gave the scenario that "you accidently but suddenly get pregnant and have no way of taking care of it...then what?"
WELL YOU SHOULDN'T BE HAVING SEX! If you don't have Sex, then there's no reason why you would need an abortion...and on the occasion that you get raped or something and you get pregnant...HAVEN'T YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF ADOPTION AGENTS?
Abortion is simply just another way the Devil is using us. YOU THINK GOD LIKES THIS? It's a way to let us be immoral even more. THAT'S RIGHT, LET. Hey kids, you can have sex all you want, AND THE BONUS: if you get pregnant, you can get rid it of it! We'll have more updates on preventing STD's...
That's ridiculous.
And the fact that everyone is involved and wrapped up in this poisonous weed that's called politics is sickening! Should teenagers even be in this fight that turns brother against brother? Maybe people think that they need to have a voice...that they should be heard...and they deserve to be heard... but being heard- is that the same as being a part of it? Is there even a way that we can be heard without being drug into this pit?
Kids that can't even complete their homework shouldn't be involved in this...not at all...and it's sad that I even am. But when it surrounds our lives, how can we not?
