But Basically

So yesterday we beat the one team that we strive to beat every year! That was so exciting. It really boosted our confidence because well, we havent exactly been winning...So hopefully that will all change. But basically I'm updating my blog because I'm stuck in spanish class with nothing to do. So I'm going to write random things about my day...and who knows, maybe I will throw some random pictures in. So after a four day weekend and only 2 days of school, we are finally getting back on track. I have a stupid project on the Knights Templar due and only a few days to research (how stupid) and I also have suchhh a busy schedule with basketball. We have practice, game, practice, game and so on and so on for the next couple of weeks or so. So that means staying up until like 1 in the morning (such fun-not). Oh and something totally random-I dyed my hair! Yeah I went from blonde to brown and it was such a big change that I'm still getting used to it. But the first day after I got it done, it looked red and it was terrible (not that I have anything against redheads, actually I am in loveee with Rupert Grint). But now it is looking better and actually brown. So anyway nothing really exciting is happening in my life, well besides the annoying snow. Okay well I'm just going to end this random post (and sorry no pictures-I'm feeling lazy) So Bye!

Awhile

I feel like it has been forever since I have last posted something. So i'm just going to tell you about my day. You really dont have to read this because, well, let's just say that My Life Is NOT Average. And actually I spent awhile on MLIA just because I had nothing better to do. We were off school for a snow day which means my whole family was at home. Not Fun. I spent my day watching Obsessed and Mamma Mia. Then my brother decided to go out and buy Just Dance 2 for the Wii. Even though I am uncordinated, I still cremed him in just about every dance. Thats really the extent of my day. And you are probably sitting there reading this and thinking, "Why doesn't this chick just go out and play in the snow if she is so bored." Well heres my answer: "I HATE snow. I don't own any snow boots or really any snow clothes. I don't see how snow is fun. Yes its pretty, but that doesn't make me want to go out and get all wet." Nothing really exciting happened today...at all. So I'm sitting here in my bed getting ready to watch a movie (yes my third movie of the day...I'm such a bore) and hoping that tomorrow is better...after all it is a Friday. TGIF. Bye Bye!

Devil

Today, I was talking to some of my friends after we watched a scary movie. It was about these 5 people with records that got trapped in an elevator together. One by one they are killed. Well basically, one of them was the devil. After watching this, a conversation (argument) started. Some people were saying that the only reason there is a devil is because God has to keep him here; without the bad there would be not such thing as goodness. Another person says that God could just banish the devil because God is all powerful' but perhaps the devil is powerful also. Well personally I believe that we only let there be a devil. Humans let the devil get the better of us because we are weak creatures. We only let there be a devil in us because we can't say no. I believe that if humans were strong enough, then there would be no devil.
Today, here and now, the devil in our world is ourselves because we let ourselves to harm to others. We let ourselves be horrid.

Religion

"I believe in God, the Father the Almighty." But what if I didn't think other religions were wrong. I believe that perhaps, all religions are the same, but just perceived differently. I know that I have mentioned the differences in people and that is what causes disputes, but what if that made people develop the same religion in a different way. Maybe thats not right, but that is just something I think about. Because who is to say that every religion but one is wrong? Besides God (or whichever diety you prefer)

Life

I was just thinking about all the other countries in the world who don't have as much freedom as I do. I worry about whether or not I finish my homework or whether or not my hair will look good in the morning after I wake up. Other people worry about whether or not they will get food, if their cattle will die, if the water they drink will make them sick. I complain about not having the latest ipod or the cutest clothes. Some people complain about not having a blanket. Or their child getting sick and dying. I live in the country where even the most severe illnesses can be treated. As I grow up I wonder what my husband will look like, how big our house is, how many kids we will have. In third world countries they worry about providing enough. Some people earn $70 a year. I can spend that in a day.
When I think about those will less money, I wonder what they think about life. Do they wonder why they have to live like this? Do they enjoy life? Do they ever have time to relax? You only have one life to live and I have the luxury of being able to enjoy and live it and learn. I don't have to worry about not having running water, indoor plumbing, or access to medicine. I am lucky to have a life where I don't have to worry.
