I can't seem to keep myself up-to-date on this thing. I guess it doesn't really matter though, since the few people who read it I already talk to everyday (unlike some people I don't have a large following). I've also noticed my severe struggle with writing personal things here when I know others will read it. This makes it hard for me to add the serious content that really engages my life.
Saw The Passion on Saturday, and I must say I was impressed. The message of that movie is hard-hitting and realistic. Personally, it didn't effect me in the deep way it has affected some of my friends. Certainly I was moved, yet I'm not sure what it was that seemed so familiar about it; kind of like I had seen the movie before. Somewhere under my layers of resistance I'm sure the power of Story will find me weak and vulerable. It always does in the end.
I have gotten tired of hearing the anti-semetic whinings from everyone about the movie. So the Jews killed Christ... or maybe they didn't... why does it matter? The point was HE DIED, and not just that, HE DIED SO WE COULD LIVE! Fact of the matter is, it was God's plan all along that He be killed, and that the chosen people would reject Him. Furthermore, why are you blaming or persecuting the people today for the acts of so many generations ago?
Amongst other news, I hate school. Ok, so maybe thats not exactly news since I have made it so perfectly crystal clear. What else can I say? I've been an A student my whole life, and now that I have a little social energy to burn, I can't do better than a B. Sihj.
What would I change about me? I would be less of a procrastinator. I would get distracted less easily by stupid things like TV and food and books. I would carefully acknowledge my priorities in their proper order. I would have a future picked out for myself. What makes it worse is that I don't really care; there are people and things that matter more to me now than where I'll be in 10 years. Would someone please spin the bottle of my life and point me in a direction?
