I found out that I do a lot of weird things and I can explain them. One in particular are the bizarre essay topics I choose to write about in Biola. Last year, I shocked my teacher and my peers by writing about the positive influence of illegal drugs. I am very proud of my essay and you should read it if you have time. Just ask me and I'll post it up somewhere. This year, I shocked myself by analyzing a poem about prostitution. Props to Sharkface. Anywho, I found out that I do these shocking things particularly because Biola is a Christian College and the teachers and students are all Christians for the most part. I know that people don't always act Christian in Biola; people curse, fight, get violent, smoke, gamble, and other such sins. I am no diferente. I just write like a pagan. I don't hold back too much on my writing. My poems and my essays are a reflection of that.
Anywho, I write on such Christianly awkward topics because I don't want the teachers or students that read my essay to get too comfortable in a Christian setting. They have to realize that such sins exist even in Biola and they can't just go on ignoring them. Basically, I just try to use shock factor to shock Christians out of their states of naivety and look at the world with "eyes unclouded" (Princess Mononoke). haha. Anywho. Sex Pistols.
I love these guys.
