I believe- Lyrics

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people’s hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it’s bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I’m loved when I’m completely by myself alone

I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can’t appreciate real love until you’ve been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

I believe you can’t control or choose your sexuality
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can’t appreciate real love until you’ve been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse tv evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can’t appreciate real love until you’ve been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

The Dangerous Intrigue of the Occult

Today, many people dabble in the mystical, occultic arts. (also know as magic) Is there anything wrong with being involved in these practices? Yes, the Bible takes a clear position on this subject, strongly denouncing these practices. God created us and therefore owns us. He has a right to set the rules for our lives. Gods Word indicates that these practices are part of Satan's strategy of evil tricks and deception, designed to lead us astray. Satan and his demons are real beings set on our destruction. Christians are warned to "put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:11-12).

ASTROLOGY

Although the Bible does go into great detail about astrology, it certainly makes its position clear. We should never trust in astrological beliefs or predictions. Astrology is an ancient, heathen practice that leads to disaster. Our lives are not determined by the stars or movement of planets. The Bible warns against the false predictions of astrology (Jeremiah 10:2; 27:9-10; Daniel 2:1-4; 4:7; 5:7-9) and repeatedly condemns the associated practice of worshipping the sun, moon and stars (or "deities or demons associated with them") (Deuteronomy 4:19; 17:2-5; 2 Kings 21:3, 5; Zephaniah 1:5; Job 31:26-28; Jeremiah 8:1-2).

Magic, Spells, Enchantments, Charming, Sorcery, Wizardry, Witchcraft

Those who follow the path of the magic arts are on the wrong path - a road that leads away from God, not toward Him. In one way or another, the end will be disaster. The evil Queen Jezebel practiced witchcraft (2 Kings 9:22) bringing catastrophe on herself and all Israel. Over and over, God denounces those who "conjure spells" (NKJV) and those who practice witchcraft and sorcery. The Bible says that anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord (Deuteronomy 18:10-12; 2 Kings 21:6; Micah 5:12; Isaiah 47:12; Ezekiel 13:18, 20; Acts 8:11-24; Leviticus 20:27; Exodus 7:11; Revelation 9:21; 22:15).

God warns of the ultimate punishment. Revelation 21:8 says of "...those who practice magic arts ...their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur... the second death" (NIV). Those who practice witchcraft (sorcery) will not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:20-21). These practices are anti-God and are in rebellion against Him.

Divination, Fortune-telling, Mediums, Spiritism, Necromancy, Familiar Spirits, Wizardry, Seances, Channeling, Clairvoyance, Spirit-guides

The Bible strongly warns people not to consult mediums and spiritists for the truth, but to inquire of God (Isaiah 8:19). Clearly, if those who practiced these arts have any power (beyond being great deceivers), it is not a gift from God (as some falsely claim). The Bible condemns and forbids these practices several times (Deuteronomy 18:9-14; Isaiah 44:25; Jeremiah 27:9; 2 Kings 21:6; 23:24). Divination and Spiritism were despised practices of the heathens (Ezekiel 21:21; Isaiah 19:3; 1 Samuel 28). Scripture says that one of the reasons King Saul died was "because he consulted a medium for guidance" rather than God (1 Chronicles 10:13-14).

Following omens or signs

We are not to look to omens or "signs" to direct our lives. The Bible reprimands people for doing this. It is an "abomination" and foolishness (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). Look to God and His instructions for life as provided in the Bible. To do otherwise is to foolishly deceive yourself, or allow Satan and others to deceive you.

A squirrel found my Liscence

So Mike Bates wanted to see a picture of Tammy. So I put it in my wallet, and noticed that I didnt have my drivers liscense. Thats not right. So I search a little, and come to the conclusion that it must be at Hy-Vee where I cashed my check yesterday. I parked by another camaro, and a 60's muscle car. HAHA I love parking by cool cars. So anyway, they do have it, and I am happy because I really want to see Tammy, and it might not be a good idea going there without a liscence, and I dunno how long it would take to get one back, maybe theyd give me a temp one, but its alot better this way... I am so hungry. I ate like 3 bowls of cherrios this morning, and am really hungry. LOL. Cant wait to work so I can eat a double chili greese burger heart attack(TM) hehe. GROWWWLL!

Dumb People

So I got my car fixed today. Apparently the problem was loose exhaust. 31 bucks. I returned my tint, because if I do it, I want it done by a professional. Because its easy to mess up. That was 19 dollars I got back so it barely cost me anything. (repairing my car). So I walked home, and then back. It wasnt to far to go. Then I see this guy on a bike at the crosswalk. Hes like does that say watch? I look where he is looking and cant find any writing in that direction at all. I look at him confused. Hes like never mind. I am looking around, and I ask if he meant the perkins sign? He gets mad and says: NO THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK SIGN! Well I dont think I am retarded, but its a hand, and it means stop! dont cross the streat numbnuts because cars are coming... it doesnt even have writing on it, its a picture! So I dont understand why he got so pissed at me because he was the retard.

So then I go pick up my car. The clunking is gone. On the key chain they had a sticker that said camaro, but they spelled it cemero.... how can somebody who works on cars NOT know how to spell camaro? MY GOSH! Sure I am a journalism major, and he is a mechanic. I couldnt fix my car, but still... that would sound like semaro... its kinda obvious isnt it?

Then I was watching this show called unique whips. About car customization for uber rich people, and they are working on this 1964 lincoln. It even says on the bottom of the screen 1964 Lincoln. The guy was like did that orignally come like that? I guess you cant tell on a 30 year old car... WHAT?! I know this show isnt very old because they had a 2004 corvette. 2004-1964 = 40 not 30. My gosh people.

I mean I know I am retarded, but today, people are more retarded then I am, and frankly thats very disturbing!

Cruisin Tuesday

I was bored so I went to Sam & Ein's Dorm (twinkie a HOHO).We decided to go cruising, and I ended up driving sams car.A 95 pontiac grand am. Cough. That car has like 0 balls. I guess I am used to a Z28, but sheesh I couldnt even get his tires to squeel, and it didnt even feel like it accelerated even with it to the floor. But whatever. So we all decide to rock back, and forth, and then we got the car shaking a lot. On 6th street its like the longest and busiest street in town. AT about 10 oclock tonight. We had also sams friend Denko in the car. We are like OH SHIT a COP! Then the cop starts to turn, and I am like ahhh! He was going the opposite direction as us, and turns toward his right, and we turn to our right. I drive a block, and turn left. Denko Is like GOOOOOO he has his cherries on and everything. So I keep turning fast, and after a bit hes like hes gone... Then I am like are you guys shitting me? There like yeah. Sams like "WE GOT YOU GOOD YOU FUCKER!" (line from super troopers) but I was actually a bit scared. HAHA. Sheesh.

So back at the dorms we are all like where is HOHO? Then were like I bet hes taking a dump. We go in there and dump like 2 cups of water over the stall. Then we run out laughing, and then were like dude I dont think that was HOHO. Another guy went in there and got him again, and were all like who is it? Freakin out its someone we didnt know haha. He we hear a flush like 4 minutes later. Its HOHO, and he is soaked. We all bust out laughing. IT was hilarious.

Pope Benedict XVI

Pope Benedict XVI
78-year old Cardinal Ratzinger of Germany is elected as new pope.

Thats good, but honestly... this guy is 78! He probably doesnt have that many years left in him... I mean age CAN create wisdom, but that doesnt mean it does... Electing a younger man wouldnt have been a bad idea. But whatever, I have no idea how these things work, so Ill leave this up to people who are more... knowing of what their traditions dictate. Its just that he is so OLD....

"Just Another Day"

Morning alone
When you come home
I breath a little faster
Every time we're together
It'd never be the same
If you're not here
How can you stay away, away so long.

Why can't we stay together
Give me a reason
Give me a reason.

[Chorus]
I, I don't wanna say it
I don't wanna find another way
Make it trough the day without you
It's just another day

Making the time
Find the right lines
What do I have to tell you

I'm just trying to hold on to something
(Trying to hold on to something good)
Give us a chance to make it.

Don't wanna hold on to never
I'm not that strong
I'm not that strong.

I, I don't wanna say it
I don't wanna find another way
Make it trough the day without you
I, I can't resist
Trying to find exactly what I miss
It's just another day without you.

Why can't you stay forever
Just give me a reason
Give me a reason.

Loss of Loved One Really Can Cause Broken Heart

By Linda A. Johnson

Confirming the wisdom of the poets and philosophers, doctors say the sudden loss of a loved one really can cause a broken heart. In fact, they have dubbed the condition "broken heart syndrome.

In a study published just in time for Valentine's Day, doctors reported how a tragic or shocking event can stun the heart and produce classic heart attack-like symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of breath and fluid in the lungs.Unlike a heart attack, the condition is reversible.

The Johns Hopkins doctors documented how a dayslong surge of adrenaline and other stress hormones can cause a decline in the heart's pumping capacity. The researchers theorized that the hormones probably cause tiny heart blood vessels to contract, but other explanations are possible.

After I broke up with my girlfriend, whom I loved more then anything, sometimes I would feel very short of breath, and had slight chest pains. This isnt some sympathy plow, but I am just saying that I have experienced this. They have went away, after I got used to the pain and feelings of loss, and learned how to deal with it. Its just weird to think about though.

Cruisin USA

Sam, Ein, and I were cruisin in my car yesterday, and having fun. Ttops off with the music up, and the stupidity up as well. We seen this person dressed as a chicken by the sidewalk. He was trying to get people to go eat at this one resteraunt. We drove by him or her like 8 times, and we yelled at him waved and honked our horn. We were like WE LOVE CHICKEN! BAAAAA COCK! AND other stupid randomt things. I bet his feathers were in a ruffle whenever he seen us. One time he threw his wings up in the air in unbelief or something and turned around when we came buy. It was pretty fun. He had a Foul temper. HAHA just kidding get it foul. Anyway whatrever. Sam was driving my car like the whole time. He was cruising around a speeding somewhat. We seen a cop so we turned by the airport. He was a ways behind us, then he turn onto our road. Sam pulls into the parking lot, and we all duck, OBVIOUSLY IT WASNT HARD TO TELL IT WAS THE SAME CAR. Then sam drives behind these cars, and then sits by the exit and we watch the cop. I am like sam are you crazy?! He then floors it the other direction and confirms my belief! What a nut case. The cop didnt follow us. Lucky enough.

Actual Walking Robot for Sale

"A small walking man-shaped robot for home security and entertainment is going on sale in Japan for $5,450." They are ONLY selling it in Japan. This just shows me how far behind Japan we are. The United States should get its act together, and start making robots as well! LOL. I am tired of working... I need my robot to do it. Lol, when I dont want to get up in the morning, I will tell my robot to go to Zkota for me, and make sandwhiches. Or I will tell it to go to class, and then tell me everything it heard. Which would probably be every day, because I have more important things to do then school or work! Like masturbate... JUST KIDDING! GOSH... IDIOT! The link below is for the story. Enjoy...

Friends

Friends
~by Tyler West

Friends are great
We started as friends
You became my best friend
What could be better
Then a lover who is a friend

Friends laugh, cry, comfort, and love
They are there for one another
And make life worth living
I love you for many reasons
But one of the greatest ones
Is because you are my friend

Friends are great
I love being your friend
But there are things friends cant do
Things we once had
And things I wish we had again

You say that’s all you want right now
And I will always be your friend
As your friend I will grant your request
I will be happy and make you laugh
But I want you to know
Someday I wish for more
I want to be your lover and I want to be your friend

Clowning Around

Mikes GF Tammy and I clown around sometimes. She likes to insult me, and I like to insult her... lol. Jockingly of course. But anyway she threw this multi colored rag at me when I wasnt looking. I bent down to pick it up, and started to laugh to myself, you could see it on my face tho. It was a silent giggle if you know what I mean. She sees me, ands like look hes laughing to himself! WHAT A FREAK. HAHAHA! It probably seemed strange to anyone looking at me. The reason I was laughing was because the rag triggered me to think about why dont women dye their umm "gardens" different colors? I mean people do that with the hair on their heads all the time... Or get it highlighted. I have never seen one like that... not that I have seen many at all, but I have never heard of it either. HEHE. If I was a girl, I think I would get highlights in mine for sure. I dunno maybe its cause its WEIRD! Thats why I was laughing anyway. Imagine a "carrrot patch" dyed so it looked like the rainbow HAAHAA!
***Sorry If I offended anyone out there. I am a sick dirty pervert occasionally, and if George Carlin can get away with things like that on TV I surely can on here. Well that is if my women friends dont casterate me first...

Yesterday Was Interesting

So Chris from Zkota calls me, and wants me to go hang out at the Amaco. I arrive and there is like 15 people there. This was at like 8:30 or something. They were racing a lawnmover and a little scooter things. (basically a skate board with a motor and a handle you rode it standing up.) We were very racious. Then they had a truck with a couch in it. They fit like 10 people in it, and chris and chasity rode in my car. We took off my ttops in the middle of the night it was cool. We then raced the poeople in the truck with the couch. LOL we gave them a head start tho. It was pretty fun. I always feel like I am going to be arrested when I hang out with Chris. LOL. Never got my tint on my windows tho! Then I went over to play D&D at mikes that was pretty fun he had his friend Jacob over, and he is like the most charismatic and jocking person I have ever met. Except maybe my cousin Neil. (hed had a corvette) (not that thats relevant). Then I hung out with Mike Bates band at the amaco at like midnight. We went to his house, and watched a movie of them playing. It was interesting, but I didnt really connect with any of his friends, except the one I let ride in my camaro.

Anyway so I go to bed, and cant stop thinking about Tammy. Even though I had all this fun with my friends I still miss her so much. Does she miss me? I dunno she never likes to talk about her feelings to me anymore unless I prod her, Then she gets mad, and I ahve to drop it. She doesnt like to talk about us anymore. I dunno why it feels like she wants to forget about us. I dunno why. She says she doesmt, but the way she acts makes me wander.

I am trying to give it time, but will that help. I dunno. I am soooooo fucking longing for a girlfriend. I see all the SDSU couples holding hands, and I wish I could just hold someones hand who loves me. Trust them, confide with them Laugh, and have fun. Be their world and and them be mine. My only problem is I want that person to be TAMMY! Why cant it just go back to normal? When I was happy and so was she? What did I do to deserve a broken heart? Love her? Why cant I have someone? Am I destined to be alone? Am I destined to settle for someone that I dont really love, but that makes me not feel alone? I pray every day that it is not so, but nothing changes. I wish somebody could help me. I feel so alone.

I want to Remember You,

ARGH! I was walking down the sidewalk infront of Mathews hall today, and I sort of seen this girl.I say sort of because the sun was my eyes. Anyway my memory is like BAM! I get a de ja vue... a memory of a memory. This girl jogs a memory of another girl I THINK I once knew. She looked a lot like Tammy. Same hair, same height, this one that was walking had the same pants that I remember this girl wearing. They wer black and baggy. Its like a memory of a memory. But now I remember her in more detail… I am now obsessed with finding out who this girl is… I need to know. She looks a lot like Tammy. So this was on the way to my one gay class, and then after class BAM! I REMEMBER HER FACE… But I am doubting my mind is this girl real or not? Could she be my mind creating something, and tricking itself. Just now I think I remember talking to her and she was holding her books to her chest… Why is this bugging me so much? I think I remember her…but do I? I think Darci might know who I am talking about but she isn’t on msn! This is driving me insane… I think I mighta had a semi crush on her… I think I might of seen her at our old HS… but I cant be sure… I REALLY WANT TO KNOW! AHHHHHHH! Damn it! I completely remember her face now, and I remember how she talked… but I cant be sure if its real. LOL I AM NOT INSANE! I think she was my friend for a little while… or we at least talked.

Ok its like 10 minutes later from when I wrote this now. I get all Sherlock Homes and I'm like if she had books then she must have went to school with me. I now think I can remember her sitting and doing her homework in the hallway. This is so weird... She musta been in a class ahead of me... Some reason I want to meet her again if she is real. OMG THIS IS SOOOO WEIRD! Why cant I totally remember her?

I also had a thought that maybe she was my initial view of tammy. Before I got to know her and I just seen her around, but I dont think so...

The Game of Life

Sometimes its easier to explain life with an analogy instead of plain words… why I don’t know. However, here is my analogy:

Remember that game we played as little kids… the one with all the shapes, and the table with different holes for the shapes. There was only one shape that fit in one hole. Although sometimes you could cram the circle into the square hole or something, but you always could tell that it wouldn’t fit just right. I have always been trying to cram the wrong shape into the wrong hole… but it never felt right. Then all of a sudden quite by accident I found my right shape. We fit together so well it was obvious we were meant to be together… Then my shape decided it wanted to try to cram itself into a different hole. Now, when you already had a perfect fit isn’t it foolish to settle for being a circle in a square hole. If that’s what it is eventually your hole is going to be pretty damn uncomfortable. As for this hole, why should it go seek squares? They will only disappoint me in the end… I have already found my circle… it just needs to realize it is a circle and come back to its perfect hole… and if it does not… I am not going to try to cram squares when I already found my circle, even if my circle cannot see I am a round hole anymore.

Tiger Ducks

A lactating woman in Myanmar has volunteered to breastfeed a pair of endangered Bengal tiger cubs recently born at a Yangon zoo and separated from their aggressive mother.

The two-week-old cubs, a male and a female, were taken from their mother Noah Noah after she killed the third cub in her litter, prompting veterinarians to engage in alternative childcare, the semi-official Myanmar Times weekly reported in its edition to be published Monday.


Oh... okie... I hope they dont bite your umm... DUCKS.

Camaro Update

As many of you know my Camaro was sitting in another city, since last monday! Due to a massive coolant leak, MY worst fears were confirmed when it was the waterpump that had a hole in it instead of a hose. A 150 dollar waterpump! My buddies uncle so nicely paid for it until I get paid and we worked on my car until 1 in the morning! It was kinda neat though. The leak is gone, but the coolant sign is still on. Even though the coolant is fine. And it still trys to run hot, but when the temp gauge gets up about half way the fans kick on and it cools down. Except if I am moving, then there is alot of cool air coming into my car, and it stays at normal temp. It is drivable, but I will probably have to fix this problem this wednesday, but I am happy to have my baby back!
