Cool People and then some


So I was taking a look at my definition of cool and what it means to be a cool person. For me, it was the ultimate trait, in its simplest form, was not caring. Not caring what others thought. Not caring what parents thought. Not caring what the authorities thought. So I tried this. I just tried to stop caring about everything. This has caused me to go down a devastating spiral of not caring for grades, not caring for my future, and, worst of all, not caring for my friends and family. This has caused me to lose many good friends, lose my sister, and lose the cool image I had of myself because I stopped caring about how I looked and I didn't take care of my hygiene too well. I'm saying that I stopped showering for long periods of time.

Anywho, this is when I realized that not caring IS cool, but if you overdose on not caring, that turns you into something else entirely, a dooshbeg. You all know what it is so I
don't have to spell in properly. I don't like being a dooshbeg. So I tried stopping and now I am a very negative and bitter man who is poisonous to the environment.

I know this sounds like I'm being very negative and bitter but WAIT. LISTEN! I am admitting this. I'm not being negative. This is just truth. and I am expressing the desire to change. So don't judge me!!!!! RAWR!!!!!!!!. :-) ok. Anywho, to end on a positive note, I've realized that most of the people I think are cool aren't the people that don't care, ironically. They are the people who care about the right things, and then a few preposterous things. People who care
about people are cool. People who care about people and what the zombie apocalypse would be like, are SUPER cool. Here's a little picture to relieve thine eyes from all these words.


hyuk hyuk.

The End of My Fast, a T-Mobile Phone Search, and More

Turn away all you who are too busy to read about my life. Reader beware~!

:-{|

So I ended my fast today. After a week of depriving myself of television shows, leisure browsing, and games, I think I ODed on all three today. I feel so garbage-like. Anywho, I am kind of glad. I don't know if I got the intended effect. I wanted to grow in Christlikeness, but I just came to appreciate my tv shows, games, and leisure browsing. One very depressing thing I found was that I have no friends to call when I'm bored. I am very lazy and I find it hard to keep contact with friends. So I don't because I have Community, The Office, Zombieland, and Left 4 Dead to keep me accompanied when I'm lonely or bored. However, without any of these guys, I was left to fend for myself in the jungle of solitude. I played solitaire with a deck of cards at least 10 times and I got tired of it really fast. I learned three things from this fast:
  1. I am completely and utterly depraved; a sinful man is what I am.
  2. I need to work harder on my relationships.
  3. I need a girlfriend.
________________

I am also desperately looking for a T-mobile LG Phone. I know I am the only lame human being on this earth that uses T-Mobile, but I hope you can be so kind as to ask your neighbors, fathers, mothers, brothers, wives, husbands, dogs, kind strangers, mean strangers, the village idiot, your racist friend, your crippled friend, your turtle's sons. Anybody really. I just really need a better phone. T-mobile and LG are the only two requirements. In fact, forget LG, just do T-mobile. Please. I implore you to go on this hunt with me.

If you DO find a person with an extra T-mobile phone, do the following: thank him, lecture him on why he should switch to Verizon, and take the phone.

One night (during the fast, this was a time in my life when I was depraved of a useless, BUT huge, portion of my life, and I was getting depressed as a Christian because I did not feel any holier despite my fast. I did not feel more Christlikeness.), I was laying in bed and wondering what it would feel like to feel something that I am currently incapable of feeling. I was thinking, what does it feel like to be in a state of drunkenness? Would I even be having fun? Would the hangover be worth it? What would it feel like to take LSD? Would the demons consume? Or would I make better more wonderful music? I decided that I was gonna get drunk eventually when I'm off contract. Now that I am here, consuming myself with "media", I don't think I would. I don't really feel the urge to.

But that got me thinking, "what if I DID do drugs and get drunk?" That would officially turn me into one of those "bad people" that I never was. I would not ever be able to be judgmental because I DID those things. Wouldn't that put me in a humbler state? Wouldn't that make me a better Christian?!

I thought of all the people who weren't as self-conscious as me, and COULD do those things without thinking, and just regret it later. I thought, what makes me different from them? I think about these things too much to do it by "accident". So I hypothetically developed the mindsets of [I'm already this bad, why not?] or [God will eventually forgive, if not immediately, in fact that's what I prefer, because it would be too weird if he forgave me too soon.] or [I don't even care.]. I think I was roughly around 45% serious about this.

But God is so good, even when I don't feel like God is working in me. He did not let me get to 50% serious. Also, he provided me with absolutely no access to LSD, crack cocaine, marijuana, beer, ecstasy, or even a cigar (cuz i go big or go home, no little cigarettes for me! but I still didn't have access to this). God is truly providential. If he did not put me in this stupid Christian university, who knows what I could have found in my roommate's desk? or my neighbor's? or my friend's? God works in me like a firework (reference to Katy Perry song, it makes no sense). God damns the wicked. I'm so glad Christ made me right, because i am so very wicked. It's fascinating how many times I forget that the only thing between me and damnation is a man who came and died for me on the Cross 2000 years ago. It's a very thick thin line. No typo there.

If you have read this far, you care for me much more than I deserve. Or you are retardedly bored, in which case, I urge you to go out and find an LG T-mobile phone for me. Thank you for reading what i emote.

Raising Hope: The Only Hope I Have in This God Forsaken Wasteland

This may be a gross overstatement and actually rather false. But anywho, in light of the recent broken ankle/sprained ankle controversy in my life, I have been getting a lot of advice on medicine. A lot of "You should xray that dood"s and "You need a cast man"s. But, alas, I cannot, because I am poor and I don't have insurance. Yes. I think this is why I bag on Terrance's occupation a lot. (He is an insurance salesman) I apologize for all those times I put you through pain Terrance.

Anywho, I've watched the latests episode of "Raising Hope" which filled me with a lot of hope. Here's the quote that did it for me.

Virginia: It's the circle of life. You get sick. You heal. You get sick. You heal. You get sick. You die. It's just how it happens.

I was strangely comforted by this.

Besides, I decided to trust in the professional expertise of a master of Eastern Medicine. A Korean Acupuncturist whom I dubbed Heinrich Wilhmer.

Answered Prayers and Broken Ankles

I've had the same recurring prayer request since school started. I wanted to develop my attitude towards my life and the monotonousness of it all. I always had the exact same schedule and the same friends to chill with and the same work to do at the same time every week. My spirituality was suffering due to the extremely dull monotony in my life.

Then, God answered my prayers and broke the seat on my bicycle as I was going. This caused me to fall on my ankle and break it. Now everything is different. My work feels different as I move around the store with my crutches. My eating time is different because I always have to eat with people and not alone, which was the norm. My class times are different because I get extra sympathy points from fellow class mates and teachers. My social interactions are different because my ankle becomes a common topic of discussion.

The only thing that is not different is my spiritual life. I stopped dreading the monotony of everyday life and now I am focused on my ankle. God has no place in my heart and it sucks. However, there are two things that I just kind of realized which I will end with.
  1. My ankles are not my ankles. They are God's ankles and if He takes it away, so be it.
  2. I miss my skinny jeans.

Quote from Greenberg

Man A: Youth is wasted on the young.
Man B: I'd go further. I'd say life is wasted on...people.

Misconceptions on Intelligencia and Faith

I always had the idea that the reason a lot of smart people weren't Christians was because they were smart and they knew something that I didn't and I was glad to be an ignorant believer because it made me happy.

However, lately, I've realized that there are a lot of REALLY smart Christians. Not like, "oh, you aced that exam? shoot, you're smart." More like, "You figured out how to make a chemically induced explosive device all on your own when you were 12 years old?" smart.

That said, I do think that there is a correlation to being smart and having a smaller chance of being a man of faith. It's not intelligence. It's pride. Smart people have a tendency of relying on their intellect a lot. Now, when they face something that basically tells them, "You will never know all of me even if you extensively study me for all eternity", is a bit daunting and difficult for them to accept. It's really a shame how people can hold on to their pride for so long. :-j|
