One thing that annoys me...

...is when people let religion and/or politics run their lives.

It shows in the comments people leave on any news article you read (especially on AOL) about someone coming out, or some other gay related topic. They, more often than not, have to bring religion and/or politics into it.

The people that do this on any and every subject are the really annoying ones.

The most recent example of this was in the news last week. A kid who goes to a Baptist(?) school wanted to go to his girlfriend's school's prom. She went to a 'normal' school. The boy's school said they would suspend him if he went because they are against rock music.

wtf?

They even make the students sign an agreement that says they will not go against the school's policies on what is not allowed even outside of school.

Schools like that (i.e. Catholic schools, Baptist schools, etc...) to me sound like they are bordering brainwashing.

Here's an example on the political end:

I asked Dad what he thought about Global Warming. He said he doesn't think it's real because the democrats make a big deal out of it (he also mentioned Al Gore).

I don't know about you, but I just find people who let religion overly run their lives annoying. Especially when it comes to the point where every, or almost every decision revolves around their religious and/or political beliefs.

The WORST thing is when religion and politics mix. In other words, when politicians make decisions based on what they believe. This can be seen in many things recently such as gay marriage.

I think these people need to stop being so uptight and relax.

I believe in God and call myself a Christian, but I don't let it run my life.

I don't know. Maybe that means I'm a hypocrite?


Okay okay, one more thing that annoys me:

MILEY CYRUS!!!

God! Don't get me started on that spoiled brat...


P.S. Sorry if I offend anyone with this post. It's what I believe so...

Also, I posted on my WWII blog today about Operation Valkyrie, my new favorite WWII subject. I might buy the movie when it comes out tomorrow. I haven't seen it yet, so I'm not sure if it's any good or not.

New Poll - Global Warming

I read an article on Yahoo (I think) this morning about a new study on Global Warming. The study was on how much sea levels will rise if/when the West Antarctic ice shelf collapses. So I got thinking, and decided to put a poll up to see what your opinions are on global warming.

I, for one, voted 'yes.'

I'm not an expert and I haven't really taken the time to study much about Global Warming, but from what I hear, I'm inclined to take it seriously. I mean if they say the ice shelves are melting, then obviously there is going to be a rise in ocean levels. That is a no brainer.

So vote and if you want, explain what you think. And please be nice about it. Also, if you can, provide some facts or whatever. It makes your opinion a lot more believable.

Maundy Thursday and Good Friday

Just a couple interesting things to report for now. I won't blog too much until everyone gets back from vacation.

Yesterday was Maundy Thursday. I had a dentist appointment in the early evening and church in the later evening. Mom and I both had an appointment so we rode together. We pulled into the dentist office's driveway when I saw a white van. I said to myself, "Oh no! Please don't let that be him!" Going into the reception room I noticed only a woman waiting. I thought, "There are a lot of people who come to this dentist. More than one of them must have a white van. It can't possibly be him."

After about 5 minutes of waiting I heard him! Then Alex's friend came out of the back "work" area. Why did the most annoying of Alex's friends have to be there at the exact same time I was? To make matters worse, his mother is one of those people who has to talk to everyone about everything. My mom was already back getting worked on, so I was there alone with his mother when the kid came out. His mom went back to pay, while I was forced to talk to him. Ugh. Like I said, his mother just had to carry on a conversation with the receptionist. -_-

The interesting thing about our little "chat" came when he said, "So, why don't you hang out with Alex anymore."

I said, "I don't know. Ask him." He just said, "Okay." From there the convo went from this and that until FINALLY his mother came back to take him home. Whew what a relief!

Like I've said before, you really can't understand how I feel about him and why unless you have been around him. The only words that can describe him are; rude, annoying, loud mouthed, immature, and undesirable. lol

While I was getting worked on I got to watch the funeral service for the three police officers shot and killed in Pittsburgh last weekend. My brother went down there cos he is a police officer too. They said officers from as far away as; Florida, Canada, California, Australia, and New Zealand came to take part in the funeral procession. Also President Obama had condolence letters hand delivered to the three families.

R.I.P. Officers Eric Kelly, Stephen Mayhle, and Paul Sciullo III


On our way home I asked Mom if she could help out with the lawn mowing thing since she used to work as a landscaper during the summer. She said she would help if I needed it. Alex still hasn't given me a yes or no answer (big surprise). He probably won't help for whatever reason.

...Stupid...

A couple of interesting thing happened during the church service. During the first hymn, the front doors opened and closed again. So someone came in. I can see who walks in the front doors which are over my left shoulder, but I didn't look. Then after the hymn was done the person left without even coming in the sanctuary and sitting down. o_O

Then we were in the middle of something or another when I hear the back door open and close. Then it opened and closed a few minutes later again. You can't see the back door from where I was in sitting, but someone on the other side of the sanctuary said they saw someone stand in the office then leave. o_O O_o

Just after the sermon started another person came in. This time an older man came in and sat down near Alex and I. Then after a few minutes he got up and left. o_O O_o o_O

wtf was all that about?!?!?!

One other interesting thing that happened during the sermon:

Alex nodged me with his elbow and whispered, "There is something in your hair. Look at me." I turned my head to look at him. He ran his fingers through my hair! He just didn't pluck something out of my hair, he actually ran his fingers through my hair!

*melts*

I got a little tipsy on the wine that was served. Even though it was just a little bit, I still felt weird after drinking it. I was slightly wobbly when I walked, and I was clumsy. Then when I drove home, we have to go up a hill. I was pressing the pedal but we were still slowing down. I looked down and realized I was pressing the brake pedal instead of the gas pedal. Doh!

Okay enough of yesterday news. Let's move on to today.

Not much to report for today. A lot of Good Friday church stuff that I won't go into cos it is irrelevant.

The only interesting thing that happened today was when I was home alone. Dad went up to the church to finish up stuff. So what does a 17 year old with a laptop (or any other computer) do when they are home alone for awhile? ;)

I had just started masturbating when I got a text message. I looked at the name and it said, "Alex." I almost had an orgasm! Then I read it and found it was actually from his sister who was using Alex's phone. MAJOR TURN OFF!

So I replied to it and went back to pleasuring myself. After I got into it again, SHE TEXTED ME AGAIN! I replied again, and had to restart once again. Then I came close to finishing WHEN SHE TEXTED ME ONCE AGAIN!!!!! FFS!!!!!!!!

After I replied, I turned the phone off. Then I had to start from the beginning again. -_- I'll have to tell Alex this story :p

Well that's about it I guess...

Oh, Happy Easter if I don't talk to you before then!
