This was too cool not to share.
I've had this email sent to me numerous times. The first time I read it (Thank you, Konek.
), I thought it was absolutely awesome. Hopefully, you'll read it carefully, and think just the same.Did God create Evil? This will make you think for a while. At a certain college, there was a professor with a reputation for being tough on Christians. At the first class every semester, he asked if anyone was a
Christian and proceeded to degrade them and to mock their statement of faith.
One semester, he asked the question and a young man raised his hand when asked if anyone was a Christian. The professor asked, "Did God make everything, young man?" He replied, "Yes sir He did!" The professor
responded, "If God made everything, then He made evil." The student didn't have a response and the professor was happy to have once again proved the Christian faith to be a myth.
Then another man raised his hand and asked, "May I ask you something, sir?"
"Yes, you may," responded the professor. The young man stood up and said "Sir, is there such thing as cold?" "Of course there is, what kind of question is that? Haven't you ever been cold?"
The young man replied, "Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. What we consider to be cold, is really an absence of heat. Absolute zero is when there is absolutely no heat, but cold does not really exist. We have only created
that term to describe how we feel when heat is not there." The young man continued, "Sir, is there such a thing as dark?"
Once again, the professor responded "Of course there is." And once again, the student replied "Actually, sir, darkness does not exist. Darkness is really only the absence of light. Darkness is only a term man developed to
describe what happens when there is no light present."
Finally, the young man asked, "Sir, is there such thing as evil?" The professor responded, "Of course. We have rapes, and murders and violence everywhere in the world, those things are evil."
The student replied, "Actually, sir, evil does not exist. Evil is simply the absence of God. Evil is a term man developed to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. It isn't like truth, or love, which exist as
virtues like heat or light. Evil is simply the state where God is not present, like cold without heat or darkness without light."
The professor had nothing to say.On a more personal note, I've been thinking. (Scary, I know.) Do you remember when we were younger and so many of us attended Sunday school religiously (no pun intended), and all of us participated eagerly in the Christmas programs, and we were just overall happy?
Then we came into high school, and so many of my friends turned into "atheists" (don't even get me started on how incorrect that term is), and I was in complete shock. What happened to these people with whom I attended Sunday school? What happened to the kids I used to play games with during bible school each and every summer? What happened to my Christian friends?
It seriously depresses me how people have denied God so openly in their lives. It makes me wonder, however, if they really don't believe in God, or if it's some type of scheme to get attention or make a "statement" or whatever. To those who agree with me on this, I truly thank each and every one of you. To those who I spent my childhood with in our church, I can't stop asking... "Why?".

Districts? You've gotta be kidding me.
Well, I guess this topic is inevitable: District try-outs. Holy God.
I have never been so nervous about something in my life. Geez. I practiced that solo inside and out (not saying I was any GOOD at it
) and I did NOT want to mess up. Well, guess what? I did anyway.
It all started with the scales... We had to play G and A flat. G is probably the easiest scale for clarinet. If you mess that up, you're pretty much... an idiot. The A flat scale, however, was a completely different story. Oh, AND the chromatic scale. I completely blew those. I was shaking so bad, too, that I kept squeaking. OH, and I messed up the sightreading piece which consisted of half notes and quarter notes and, like, two runs of eighth notes. Yeah.. I'm an idiot.
The solo, though, I did fairly well on. I squeaked a few times, but I managed to keep it together pretty well. Not that THAT will help much.
What made it so much better was that they were selling candy in the lobby. YES. I bought cookies, skittles, and a 3 Muskateers bar. Oh yeah.
Other than that, nothing tha-rilling has happened lately. School is boring, my friends rock...
Enough said.

Bwuhahaha... I'm ba-ack!
You thought it was safe to once again post on xanga...
Dude, I needed to update like whoa. I swear... I haven't updated this for months, which is pretty pathetic on my part. I apologize to all those who give a crap. (Kayla?
Haha) Here's a tha-rilling update for your thorough amusement! And for
the compulsive organizer part of me, I'll separate everything into
lovely little categories.
School: Eh, it's fine. Sci-Fi is awesome (though watching movies first thing in the morning makes me mucho tired-o.), Physics should rot in hell (No offense to Mr. Bowman who is quite cool... considering he teaches a sucky class), Advanced Math Concepts is... blah. I don't mind it, but I wouldn't mind missing it. Band is... band.
Half band days are my fave, because all the silly chorus people get to
spend time with Mr. Perkins, and we get to relax with Mr. B and enjoy
ourselves. (Uhh... No offense to chorus members... Well, maybe a few. ) ...*sigh* When is Thanksgiving vacation, again?
Work: (For those who haven't heard, I work at the library. If you don't know by now, you're obviously a sucky friend.
...Just kidding.) It's going fine... I have busy days and boring
days... more boring days... But ANYWAY, it's pretty awesome, I must
say. It's not too stressful, and it's nothing I can't handle. Yup.
People in General: (Ohhhh, you knew THIS one was coming...)
Okay, let's just get this out in the open: I am usually not easily annoyed by people. Even if I AM, I usually don't go on a ranting rampage to someone (mainly Kayla or my lunch table homies) unless it REALLY bothers me. So, now that you know that, let's begin.
1.) If it's one thing that bothers me, it's people who do and/or say things to get attention because CLEARLY they don't get enough from their friends or family members. Hell, it's probably even your family's fault. That doesn't mean you have to be so damn annoying, though.
I mean, it's okay to tell people about your problems, say, ONCE, but to
continuously tell people how sad/miserable/depressed you are makes you
a freak. And annoying.
So... STOP. Please. For the love of HUMANITY, just stop. I don't care about your problems, I can almost guarantee that OTHERS don't care about your problems... Just stop.
...And stop wasting the Earth's damn oxygen. According to Al Gore, we don't have much longer considering the Earth's dying, jerkface.
2.) Okay, here is yet another thing that bothers me: People who act like they are God's friggen perfect creation and they have the ability to do anything and everything that they want, no matter how it annoys others... Well, I have news for you, sweetheart. And read VERY carefully...
YOU'RE NOT AND YOU DON'T.
I don't care if you're involved in, say, the fire department (HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE OMFG!1!1!!1!!!!!1!)... That doesn't give you the right to boss people around, ESPECIALLY since I've been told that you can't even DO ANYTHING. ...Idiot. Scolding upperclassmen is a BIG no-no. Do you WANT to get punched in the face? Seriously.
3.) ...I hate bossy people. Ch'yeah. I can't elaborate on this one without being waaaay too specific, so... Yeah... Just take that into consideration. (No, I will NOT tell you who it is. If you're not sure if it IS you or not, it probably is you.)
4.) If you believe that you are "popular", you live in a little fantasy land. In the real world, no one gives a SHIT about popularity. You're either a worker or you're not. No more living off of daddy's money or WHATEVER.
...GAH.
So, there you have it: The first official rant of my junior year. Kinda makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it?
...I'll probably remember something later that I forgot to mention. Oh well...
THE BAND'S GOING TO ORLANDO, FL IN MARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can feel the jealousy oozing off of y'all. Bwuhahaha.
[Update:]
Kayla has one of the best friggen boyfriends around. You don't even KNOW of all the things he does for her. All of y'all are jealous if you must keep CONSTANTLY telling her how bad of a boyfriend Chad is. Get a life. Or a boyfriend, jealous losers. Seriously, darling, green is NOT your color.

WHOA. An update? I MUST be bored.
Well, for your thorough amusement, I have posted a lovely convo between Kayla and I:
Juniebug008: Thou shalt not steal... Well, ya broke THAT one.
GeekInThePink45: Haha
GeekInThePink45: I stole butter, I'm sorry.
GeekInThePink45:
Juniebug008: You're going to HELL.
Juniebug008: For stealing BUTTER.
GeekInThePink45: Then the devil will taunt me with Land o' Lakes. 'Bwahaha, look what got you hear instead of pigging out on cheesecake up in heaven!'
Juniebug008: lmao
GeekInThePink45: here*
GeekInThePink45:
Juniebug008: "And since it's Hell, it nevers stays solid... It always melts in your hands!! Bwuhahahaaa!!"
GeekInThePink45: lmao
GeekInThePink45: 'And there are no sinks in which to wash the sticky, hot butter off of your hands...so you may suffer mild burns!'
Juniebug008: "And... there are no bandaids. *dramatic music*"
GeekInThePink45:
GeekInThePink45: Now that's just evil.
Juniebug008: I know. They don't even have those cheap plastic ones.We are so silly.

Omg. Summer bored-ness strikes again!
Yeah. So... Guess what? I'm bored, so I decided to update my xanga for once. Wow.
Nothing really totally exciting has been going on lately worth mentioning, besides the fact that tennis camp is awesome.
Even through the tormenting heat, it's really fun.
Okay, time for a good rant. (You knew this was coming.)
I'm sick of having "sometimes" friends. What do I mean by that? Well, let's see...
I hate having a friend who will only hang out with me if there's not anyone else to hang with. I mean... Yeah. Thanks. I feel so friggen loved when you run over to someone else and start talking with them and joking with them... and completely ignore me. Yeah, that's real friendship.
And it's not like this is the first time this has happened. It's been going on for a while. I mean, it's not impossible to hang with more than one friend at a time... yet it seems to be for some people. Gah.
Well... That's all I have to say about that. I just needed to express that. (Names will not be given, by the way.)
