5:07 PM, in my room
I think that the world, if it ever had one, has lost it's mind. It only took me twenty years to realize it.
Yesterday morningI was watching John Hagee Today, and he said that he had received a memo talking about a new religious movement in America that worships Gaea, the "spirit of Earth", and that prominent figures involved in it were Al Gore, Ted Turner, and one of the leaders of the United Nations (whose name I can't remember, but I know he is one of the founders of the "New World Order"). It really makes sense now, thinking of how Ted Turner gave a LARGE sum of money to the UN a few years back. Hmmm....
I grit my teeth, prayin that our next president would be a Christian and not a tree-worshipping pagan.
Today, I was trying to relax by watching some TV, and I flipped past Ricki Lake. Her guest was bragging about how often she has sex ("every day, and girl... you don't want to be around me if I don't get it!"), and how she was worried about how her recently-divorced female roomate was staring at her as of late. I rolled my eyes and changed it...
...to Al Gore. I decided to see what the paga, er... presidential hopeful was doing. The news program said he was trying to ease arguments between Republicans and Democrats. It's really sad when even the leades of our country can't get along.
Next channel. Springer.
CLICK!
Sooooo I flipped to Nickelodeon... I figured it was a good idea, I'd see some good quality family shows....... aaaaaand I got Elton John. Elton John... on Nickelodeon. What's next, gay day at Disney World? Oh, wait...
I wondered about MTV, but then thought "if someone finds a wholesome and moral show on MTV, I'd give them 20 bucks." On the other hand, Carson Daly, God Bless you.
I flipped to the next channel. A credit card commercial. Gee, there's a novel idea... spending money you don't even have... AND PAYING TO DO IT!!! I've heard of buying yourself broke, but YEESH!! I turned off the TV and started writing this.
In the words of my favorite Transformer Rattrap: "Ah... we're gonna die..."
8:17 PM, on the computer
So here I am... listening to According to John... and something they're saying really stands out. "Humanity is my leprosy." Man that's so true. I forget at times that I'm supposed to think in eternal terms and not in temporal... after all, time is only an interruption in eternity. What I'm saying is, when you look at an apple seed, you're not supposed to see a seed, but the orchard it produces. In other words, there is no spoon (lil Matrix reference for ya).
My sister was taught the other day in sociology class that "Man is inherently good." Oh whatever... tell that to a two year old that yanks a toy away from someone because it "it's mine!" You say "but he hasn't be taught how to share yet!" Well, if he was born good, he'd have shared instead of taking the toy selfishly! I think Abraham Lincoln said it best when he said "All actions have some selfish root." Once while arguing this point with a man on a coach, Lincoln stopped and rescued a pig drowning in mud. The man saw him and said "see, how was that selfish?" Lincoln replied: "I didn't that pig's screaming tormenting tonight's sleep." Humans really are parasites if you think about it. We kill, plunder, and destroy... all for the "good of mankind." But what good comes out of all of that?
