Every Man's Battle

I just finished reading "Every Man's Battle", and I've learned a lot from it. Although it is cheesy, not that great of writing, and super "conservative" (the authors make it sound like it is impossible to watch an R rated movie without sinning...I'm not sure I buy that), I really think that everyone should read it. Guys, if you take it to heart, I'm sure your marriage (present or future) will benefit, and females, it will help you to understand how guys think. Even though some of what you read may scare you, it will definitely be a great thing when you try to understand your boyfriend/husband, and you'll know how to help him work through his struggles to make the relationship better for both of you...check it out.

my theory on music

I think that in general, one can learn to like almost any type of music. I seen numerous people (including myself) say that they would NEVER listen to country, but after being forced to listen to it for a little while, they fall in love with it. I still like country, but working in a warehouse with the radio on all the time got me sick of hearing the same songs over and over again, so I started listening to classic rock and alternative rock, and I fell in love with both genres. Someone even got me to start listening to hip-hop this summer, and I love it now (I just wish the lyrics weren't all so sexual...I've had to give it up for a while as I work on purifying my mind).
Just my observations...

verizon commercial

What's up with the Verizon commercials on the radio? The entire commercial is in English, and after saying the phone number (in English) they say "para Español, marca dos". What the hell is the point? If someone knows no English, they won't know the number to dial or why they're dialing it, just that they're supposed to dial 2. And if they know enough English to understand the commercial, then there is no need to tell them in Spanish that they need to dial 2. I don't get it.

sick

I came down with one hell of a cold monday morning...it sucks.

Here's a few ways you can make a difference, it just takes a second of your time. It may not seem like you're doing alot, but think about the effect if each person gets 5 people to do it too...we'll soon have millions more using these sites and making a considerable difference.

I authorized anonymous comments...so go ahead, comment away. (It'd be nice if you put your name on them though.)

I need God

That's about all there is to it. I keep trying to do things on my own and I keep messing up.

money

Saturday I went to the drag races, and even got to help out with one of the cars a little bit. It was a blast. There's nothing quite like being 30 ft. from a car that does 0-300 in 4 seconds. Quite the sensation.
On one hand, it was a blast, and on the other hand, I couldn't stop thinking about how much money went into just that one day of racing, and how many people could use the money more. It's really like that with all professional sports (and most forms of entertainment, really). If you think you don't contribute to this, your advertising dollars certainly do. And think about the millions that go into television and movies. How do we find a balance between enjoying some of these things and using our time and money for more worthy causes?
I feel pretty worthless lately, like I'm not really doing anything worthwhile. I need to do something to change that.

troy

I just watched Troy. Good movie. I love movies...I wish I had the talent or the skill to do something in the film industry. Theatre would be pretty cool too...such beautiful and powerful mediums.
EDIT: o.k. so maybe it wasn't entirely accurate, and it was definitely hollywood-ized, but it's still a good story with some great lines, and the film was well done.
