Welcome To The Panel

Hi! At risk of sounding entirely too eager and perky, I added that exclamation mark to my "Hi", so I could make you feel truly welcome, but I suppose there's no convincing you how uneager and unperky I am by now... (*hint hint* What's up with her color schemes anyway??) But wait! Before you decide to just turn and run away from me, stay and take a look at this page. This page is named The Panel for a reason and that reason is... it will be devoted solely to discussions. By that I mostly mean any interesting tidbits I get from my daily encounters with people, my various musings, opinions, etc. will be posted here.

On an aside note - Thanks Aiya Web Author. Though honest to God I did not rip this off your page, I did know that putting something like this on mine would look like that, so take this as my disclaimer and congratulate me for coming up with an equally brilliant idea. :Þ

Okay, so with that safely out of the way now, let's begin the madness with today's entry.

This is horrible! I've only got one whole entry up for April so far, and it's on the 20th! But you understand, right? End of the semester's rolling around... Those pesky projects and presentations need to be taken care of... not to mention exams, exams, galore. I got a 275/300 on my second accounting exam. I got the exact same score, a 275 out of 300 on the first test too. Of course, I got point deductions off different things, but those kind of coincidences just make you wonder if your intelligence can really be measured by tests. It seems as if I just can't do better than a 91. Heh. Well, while I'd love to chat some more, I truly must dash. I've got an academic advisement appointment to attend, a presentation due tomorrow, and homework and quizzes, so see you in a week or two. :)

Okay, I'm ashamed... I'm averaging about three entries a month. That's pretty bad. That means out of 30 or so days, I can only take out three times out of my busy schedule to relax and vent. I need to release my stress more often, or I'm just going to build it all up and kaboom - explode. Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm not actually under a lot of stress these days. Just up to my nose with work. Not too difficult stuff, just much of it. So I'm sorry, if you guys feel neglected, which I'm not particularly worried about either, since my counter says there aren't many of you out there. :P Yet, anyways. Watch the counters shoot up like crazy when I adjust my meta tags to include words like "kinky" in them. Hehe. Just kidding. Or not... :)

I got this by way of a forward and thought I'd make it my panel entry for this Sunday, so here it is. Btw, thanks Jazzy. :)
"It's funny...
How I thought this was true.
How simple it is for people to trash God, and then wonder why the world's going to hell.
How we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.
How everyone wants to go to heaven, provided they do not have to believe, think, or do anything the Bible says.
It's funny, isn't it? Or is it scary?
How someone can say "I believe in God", but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also, "believes" in God).
How you can send a thousand "jokes" through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.
It's funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar, and obscene are a form of freedom of expression, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed at school and the workplace.
It's funny, isn't it?
How someone can be fired up for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week.
Are you laughing?
Is it funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you know that many will not believe?
Or worse yet, what would they think of you for sending it to them?
Is it funny how you are more worried about what other people think of you than what God thinks of me?
It's not that funny anymore, if you're the funny one."

Sheesh, 13 days have passed before I finally came around and wrote an entry for March. I have been seriously drained of brain juice these days. I feel like that documentary on mammoths that was on the Discovery channel last night. Yes, I watched it. And the narrator (Jeff Bridges, for those of you who want to ask about everything) was saying, "Imagine how you would feel if you were frozen with your eyes shut for 20,000 years, only to be lifted up into the air to see the world around you now, changed and unfamiliar?" Heh, or something like that anyways. I didn't exactly memorize the quote or anything. :P Yeah, I know. How can you see something when you've got your eyes frozen shut? :P Hehe. But that wasn't the point. The point is, sometimes I feel like I'm ancient, and the world around me is well, just around me. I'm just there, withering the changes about me that go on beyond my control. And it's like, no matter how hard you may have your eyes shut, you still know what's going on. You can't deny the truth when it's right there. In the ice. And no, I'm not trying to be profound. :P A bit of reflection tinged with sarcastic wit I prefer. :)
