Dear You # 2

Get offended. It's probably not about you. Some of these are written for a few people.

Dear you,
It's often said that time changes people. It's certainly changed me. The growth I've seen in my life overthe past year and a half has been great. I guess it's ok to know that some things and some people never change. I didn't think you would either.

Dear You,
You kind of annoy me. I'm not quite sure why.

Dear You,
Sometimes I look at what you do, and think, why? Do you know why you do, what you do? I don't. I don't know why you are content with apathy. He could be alive in your life, give it a chance.

Dear You,
You saved my life twice. My commitment is my thankfulness.

You should read "Mere Chrisitianity" by C. S. Lewis.

"...The real problem of the Christian life comes where people do not usually look for it. It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Standing back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind." - C. S. Lewis.

Uneducated Arguements Always Lose.

I've come to find that whenever Atheists want to challenge or piss off Christians they just remove a passage in Deuteronomy or Leviticus from it's context and make a vague sarcastic statement along the lines of "Well, I GUESS I'll have to go and live like this now..." only to no avail, because if they had actually done their research they would've realized that Christ's covenant fulfilled the law, and that their point is invalid. Suck on it jerks.

Sometimes

Sometimes you just have to accept the fact that they will always get on your nerves, and they probably won't change.
Sometimes they won't grow up and that irritability you experience around them could be for a reason.
Sometimes you realize that there will always be more work to do, more mouths to feed, and more problems to fix.
Sometimes you just won't care.
Sometimes crying would be nice.
Sometimes disappointment lasts.
Sometimes you should have less maturity than them but really don't.
Sometimes your clouded view of everything is ok.

Sometimes you just have to sit back, blast some post-black metal and simply call it a day.

Studio Art AP Breadth Artwork

There are two sections for my Studio Art class. For the AP portfolio board you have 12 breadth projects and 12 concentration projects. What do theses terms mean though? the Breadth section of your portfolio corresponds with the teacher's assignments, so basically you have a decent amount of restrictions. The concentration section is 12 pieces on a specific concentration, mine is to illustrate complex emotions and feelings in abstract design and symbolism. I'll delve into that work more at another time when I post my concentration work.

Here are some of my Breadth projects, as I scan more, I'll post them.

A small bit of DIY

 Today I transferred an old XL size Frosthradr tee onto a small plain black shirt. - Frosthardr is a great Christian black metal band, check them out: http://www.myspace.com/frosthardrfanpage  -  This is really cool for me because I haven't worn this shirt since I wore XL shirts. So about 3 years ago. I'm planning to do this with my other old metal shirts too, I'm pretty pumped about it. And once the latest parcel comes in the mail, I'll have the rest of my patches for my battlevest and I can finish patching it. I'll post pictures of it too, once it's finished. In other news the Haiti earthquake happened about a year ago. Everyone at school pretty much forgot about it. I'm kind of bummed out.
