you know what i really hate are my neighbors dogs that bark over everything and anything. and the ones that bark with a super high pitch. opening the gate is always exciting, almost getting bitten by a dog that hates me. sometimes I think I should buy his love and give him some foods.

One of the evils of living in town.

Something that will really freak you out is go hiking deep into the woods and wait until about 1 in the morning and wait for all the coyotes to go off at once. The first night it will keep you from sleeping do to fear, the second night you wait for it to see if it happens again (and it does). The third night you realize you are too tired to care but hope that you get to hear them because now you understand.

if you wanna watch a show you should watch 'alone' if you have not seen it yet. some of the wild animals visited a few of them. all I know is that if an animal/s wants to kill me he better do it efficiently.

It was a classic and timeless. Did you guys get it where you are?

The original opening was way better then the later version.
I think everyone watched Happy Days and didn't bother with any shows that came after.

Pringles comes in a box. Well, a tube. With a lid on it. All the chips are the same size, reconstituted potato. If you like neatness and order, those would be the ones to buy. Not that I'm advertising them or anything.

We've already had someone try to subliminally product place coca-cola on here.

the thought came to me that the most interesting conversations I've ever had were with paranoid schizophrenics.
I was the only one that would take their rants seriously and try to tell them its ok, someone really is spying on them and trying to take their identity. But God loves them anyway.

That position is tenuous at best if you are referring to Hebrews 12:1.

The word watcher appears only in Daniel according to the Roman canon. While there are clues and speculations of the heavenly watchers found in the corpus of pseudepigrapha, these should be taken as what they are: speculations.

The word for witnesses used in Hebrews 12:1 is furthermore not the same word the Septuagint renders English watcher; rather, it is the same word also rendered martyr which the writer already discussed at some length in the entire previous chapter. Considering chapter and verse divisions weren't in the original manuscripts, context dictates the witnesses Hebrews 12:1 is talking about are none other than those slain for the faith in Hebrews 11:32-39.

I am sure that in the bible and church history that you noticed that usually the prophets and mystics have a problem with the official religious authorities/theologians?

not all the time, the best theologians were the mystics and prophets. it is hard to combine both qualities I guess. the first theologian that I listened to was origen. the first religious person I listened to was the guy on tv that had a tv show called "shepherds chapel".

the difference between the two was very noticeable.

i'm wayyyy more dionysian than I am apollonian. the thing that gets to me is that i can understand what others tell me but they hardly ever seem to get me.

I know that your logic can be useful though.

I just don't see any difference between those who are slain for Christ and those who are angels in heaven. to me speculation is nothing more than people trying to understand or communicate. different people go by different rules.

if I understand you correctly, which I doubt that I do, then you are telling me that you are a sadducee and don't believe in the resurrection? lol see man I don't get you very much at all ( on some levels )

Speaking of peanut butter...my parents need to give me some space.

I came home after a long time at college and the moment I come down stairs for the fajitas for dinner (keep in mind I hadn't eaten much until then) I get hounded with "want some this? Want some peanut butter? Want some emergency military rations? Want this. Want that. More food? More food? More food?"

So, naturally, like any person who just wanted some fajitas, I say, "no, I don't want any peanut butter". My parents get offended and my mom starts fussing at me. Apparently I used some sort of wrong tone. Basically, i wasn't sufficiently "happy" in my response. And my mom, when she gets fussy, will not shut up.

When will they just learn that I don't want social interaction when I eat? I just want food, but literally every time I go downstairs they ask me a question and if I open my mouth my response is so,ehow "bad". I wish they'd stop fussing at me for not responding like they would. I need food or I get cranky. Same goes for sleep. Ignore my tone for once and listen to my words.

I'm back at my dorm and exams are over in a few weeks, so I'll be back home with them for the summer. I really hope they don't continue this routine. Although it was much worse when I was a teenager.

I wish people would mind their own business, it would make life so much easier. Parents especially. Maybe its the mother gene. Unfortunately I have a 'tiger mother' if anyone else has one, well you know the daily horror it is to be torn and ripped to shreds each time you so much as breathe.

I have taken to bunkering in my room so that I can be left alone while she is prowling around seeking to devour her young. Sometimes I do ask why God why, why was I born?
