I'm just incredibly bored right now. I like to write when I'm bored, but I don't have anything to write about. I should work on my book, but I just don't got the creative juices going for it. I also like to play halo online but for some reason past two days my wireless connection is shakey at best, makes it hard to play.
Monday I'm supposedly supposed to be going to look for/at my place of residence in 09' pretty excited about that.
Netflix: Greatest thing ever.
If you wanna see about 150 pics of my familly Christmas you'll have to look at em at www.myspace.com/jackhammergf
With in the next three days I'll have made my final decision for mo-hawk or no hawk for Ambers birthday.
I wrote this for my myspace because theres a few people there that i know will read it and deffinatly disagree. the links to biblegateway and wiki won't work here but you pleo peeps know all this anyways.
I also thought about throwin in something about the annoying red kettle birgade. I have heard in the past the give money donated to things that stray from what we believe (such as sponsoring churches, or christian colleges and such) I am to wore down now to investigate that, but if you have thoughts by all means pitch in your 2 cents to my red kettle of thoughts...
aahahahaha i make a funny.
t's 3 am.I didn't get up till 2:30 (I'm sick) and I too a nap at 5:30, i'm pretty much still awake, I hate being sick so i'm all like "Why not write a blog and tick some people off!!!" YEA!!
Just so we're all clear here:
Ben Believes in the bible. Ben Believes that the bible does NOT state the day that Jesus was born. Ben believes that Jesus MIGHT have been born on the 25th of December or it might have been the 14th of January or possibly sometime in the middle of august.
The simple way to solve this argument is to just go pick up your bible and read Luke 2. and or mathew 1 They tell the story of the birth of Jesus, from the different writers perspectives. No date is given not even a hint of the time of the year whether it was close to passover or not.
"oh well, that JUST the bible" You say. Alright lets go to the "nerds" bible. Wikipedia. I looked up Christmas on Wiki and was actually surprised by the results. Not that It refuted my point but just some things about christmas that I did not know. Wki christmas
"The birth of Jesus, which is the basis for the anno Domini system of dating, is thought to have occurred between 7 and 2 BC.[4] December 25 is not thought to be Jesus' actual date of birth, and the date may have been chosen to correspond with either a Roman festival,[5] or with the winter solstice.[6]"
I believe that Christmas should NOT be celebrated as a religious holiday, and I was brought up this way. We celebrate Christmas as a day of giving and getting together with the familly and whatever(BUT, to think that general populace of the world thinks christmas is not a secular holiday is just silly) . Does this mean that I think that Jesus should not be celebrated? Absolutely not. I believe that the BIRTH, LIFE AND DEATH of Jesus should be celebrated not once a year, but 52 times a year on the first day of the week. and we should keep Jesus in our hearts 365 days a year.
I remember once when I was little that Mom told us we didn't decorate our house with lights and stuff because mom and dad didn't want people to think that we celebrated christmas on a religious basis. but maybe they didn't wanna pay the extra on the electric bill.
I noticed that you threw your b-day in there:-P Mike had a lesson once on Christmas and why it was started etc. He's done that with several holidays. It can be interesting seeing the where and whyfores. I too dislike the red kettles. I realize that perhaps the money does do some good but I don't agree with the religious sponsoring of it etc.
I think I have heard from bible scholars (I don't know which ones) that Jesus was probably born in March according to our calendar...but I could be wrong. Either way, I completely agree with your post
Was hanging out at the BP with Greg yesterday before I went to work, and I was playing some tunes and Greg who I would consider intelligent with music, Andrew, who is pretty good and then one other guy who i just consider scum of the earth did not recognize the smooth sounds of "the Foo" because it was the Acoustic side of the "In your Honor" album. That's a shame.
The past few times I've tried to play Halo I've not done so hot. part of it is a lagging connection for 80% of the games, but even the good ones I'm still playing bad, I've not played it enough the past 7 days to keep up. Now, I played "army of Two" tonight and my halo skills screw with my AOT skills and vice versa.
Bill Cosby would be proud. The mice in my room have been having a steady diet of paintballs. I picked up the pillows on my bed and found an paintball with all the paint sucked out of it. Why do the mice eat the balls? they're basically Jell-O... Who doesn't love Jell-O? Satan and his minions that's who.
So I had an epiphany while showering on wednesday. Now, I'd have to double check this with Josh, to make sure that it's factual BUT I'm fairly certain that I AM the greatest *live* DJ, probably in the MOV, certainly within the MTTA, Belpre, P-burg area. How do I know I'm the greatest? Because no one else Is live. BOO-YAH!
I'm looking to finish my Christmas shopping tomorrow... pretty excited.
first off some random stuhttp://www.pleonast.com/user/editWeblog.php?p=entries&&l=1&o=0ff:
Got to see my cousin Cara (first time in more than two years) and meet her BF for the first time, hung out with the familly all night and it was the most fun i've had in a LOOOONG time.
Finaly hit "10" rank in Halo. That means I'm a second LT. and a nerd. I'm excited.
After the aforementioned Halo playing and such I come downstairs, walk into my room, flip on the light, something rattles on the other corner of the room. Where my sports EQP. rack is AKA where I stash my paintball gear when I'm ambitious enough to actually put it away. So I look over there and I see a lil gray field mouse fall through the tallest grate, hits the bottom, scurries out the bottom then runs around and under the TV that sits and collects dust(its not hooked to anything). I picked up something and out fell a paintball with a perfect round hole eatin into it, still had paint in it. I hope it coagulates in his stomach and gets constipated and explodes. The thought just crossed my mind that I need to dig into my dye bad and clean it out, that would make the perfect spot for a mouse nest....I'll put that on my to-do list somewhere inbetween
sleep, Halo,work,halo,sleep,halo,work,halo,sleep,Halo... you get the idea.
The lil guy is just about three feet to my right, he's rustling in some stuff on the side of my bed.... Generally when i think they're gettting to close and they might rush me and try and gouge out my eyes I make a wave run through my (water)bed, its usually loud enough to hush em up.
