This one is deep...

Have you ever wondered "why did this have to happen to me?" Or "Why do other it better then me?" "Does God really think I'm stronger, so there for I'm poor?" "Is there really a 'true' religion?" Growing up in the Mormon church, I was taught that it was the real, true church, and all others had bits and pieces, but not the whole pie. Many religions are similar to this, I was told by a Jehovah's Witness, at the age of 8, that I was going to hell for being a Mormon. Well there is one church that says you should explore other religions, and that's the Catholics. Maybe they are the real deal?

Ok, in saying all this above, I'm not by any means saying that the Book of Mormon is a bunch of bull shit, Jews must die, and that Quanza isn't a real holiday, but I am saying that I don't think you should have to follow a bunch of "rules" to achieve enternal glory. I'm not saying go out and cheat on your spouse, or kill that co-worker (we all have one), But, if you want to have a cup of coffee, I think you should have that right. Or smoke a cigerette (though I don't recommend that) sure, induldge in glass of wine or throw back a couple cold ones while watching the game? Sure, why not.

Now with that you might say.. "But what about laws?" Laws are ment to keep order. I don't think 10 yr olds should be drinking whiskey. Or 5 yr olds driving. You have to be resonable there. But you should be able to make life choice, without having to be punished in a religious sense. I believe in god, yes. But, I'm going to live my life the way I want and let him decide if I've lead a good life or bad life. I don't think it's right to judge people either. A great man once said, "Only God can judge me" That man was Tupac, and I'm reffering to his song, yes. A great song it is, and a great man he was. He called himself Machiavelli da Don some times, reffering to Niccolo Machiavelli, the Italian philospher. He also wrote plays, and was a diplomate, but he was more known for is Ideas on the way of life, and how things should be to sustain a perfect living enviornment. Similar to the rightings of Locke. I won't plunge into that, cuz I could go on and on, but if you have the chance, look him up.

Now on to more useless bits of things to think about.. Like the fact if you want world peace? We gotta find peace, and end the war in the streets. To have peace, you must have war. So.. You might be thinking "Build more jails?" Yes, and push harder to keep those who have done wrong locked up. It's too easy in todays world to get out of jail once you have been put in. I'm not talking about those who have been drunk driving for the first time, or those who smashed up a few mailboxes cuz they were stupid teenagers. I'm talking about those who are a fifth time voilent offender, or have been busted for drugs for the second time, not third. To keep things clean, you have to shorten the leash.

So now you think I'm pretty crazy, can't make up my mind and am all over, but everything I have said is true, and something big to think about. So on another note, the Vikings beat the Eagles, yay. And now I'm off.

The end to a new begining.

Well, it's December 28th 2010 already. In a few days it will 2011, this year has gone by pretty fast I must say. A lot has happened, more then I care to admit. The Ute's when 10-2 in reg season, only to get the Vegas Bowl and totally choking it up hard core vs Boise State. Better luck next year I guess. The Vikings in one month had Randy Moss, started working better as a team.. then released Randy Moss. Shortly after the fired Brad Childress. Brett Favre admited to leaving the voice mails, and ended his most consuctive starts. And the big three in Lebron, Dwayne, and Chris in Miami finally getting their rytheme going, people are starting to be scarred of that team from Miami.

So enough about sports, let's talk about me. What have I done? Nothing really... I've had 4 different jobs, one was seasonal. I've moved out and moved back in. I've been to jail for something that wasn't my fault. I haven't been pulled over, still drug free, and not addicted to anything but starburst and the stupid internet. I'm meeting new people and actually finding that joy I had at the begining of the year. I've accepted the fact I will never find that perfect song, cuz no matter how hard I look, I always ended up frustraited. I started watching Glee and actually like it. I've seen more movies in theaters this year then I have in the rest of my life combined. My favorite is undecided as their are so many that were fantastic. I have two kittens now, about 4 months old. They didn't like my dog at first but now they are almost best friends. I've gotten somewhat closer with my mom, and me and dad are closer then ever. We can relate to a lot, cuz my life now is what his life was kinda. We have more to talk about when we spend our days fishing or just sitting at home hanging out. There is so much more I could write but I don't know what to say. So for now I finish this, maybe to add another post to it in a few days.
