Smile Empty Soul vs. An Unforgettable Pair

i found this video on youtube.

the song's 'This Is War' by Smile Empty Soul

the lyrics are profane, but otherwise not graphic, and the scenes from Black Hawk Down are gruesome, but it fits, in a poetical justice sort of way.

here's the chorus:

"i drove in a car
i flew in a plane
to come to your house
and kick your door in

and now that it's down to this
it's just you and me
i'll blow your f----- head off
for my country"

----

i know half the time all i do on this blog is complain about war and war crimes and human rights abuses.

i know there are lovely flowers out there, but sometimes the stench of death and war can overcome the soft fragrance of flowers.

i don't think i'll stop writing about this stuff every now and then until every last person recognizes that we all need to be "anti-war" in order to let love in.

as an example, today after work i went to a coffee shop i'm falling in love with, down on Main Street today, just myself and my books, and a couple dollars. i ended up only reading about two paragraphs before getting so wrapped up in a fun conversation with Michelle--the girl who served me my regular 16oz. and a mocha that she decorated just for me, since she felt she forced it on me (just so she could make a pretty design) who's hoping to study forensic science in the fall (and already has the "geek's guide" to it--and Greg--a regular customer at Jerry's shop, a good friend of Jerry's, and an expert on experimenting with cigars and making jokes and being welcoming (who has a half-smoked cigar in the ash-tray of his truck and is happily divorced, and doesn't watch many movies).

it was cool. we talked about whatever, for almost an hour, informally, and i came to really like them. i hope i'll run into em both on the same day again, it was really cool. i realized that just having a conversation with them made me really care about them. kinda weird, and over-sappy, but it was cool.

if we just take the time (and have the guts) to talk to someone, we could enjoy an invaluable connection, and the world will become smaller, and nobody will really be a stranger (or enemy) any longer.

thanks God, you made my day with that pair!

youtube videojournalists.

youtube should hire videojournalists to cover major stories on an international scale... like, obviously i'd be vying for the ones with little coverage, concerning Human Rights.

hopefully they come around to this idea soon so that unknown stories can become world-wide. enough people post celebrity gossip and movie spoilers and God knows what else, that frankly youtube's creators and owners could really capitalize on having freelancers bring them video coverage of far away wars and conflicts and injustices (and other stories too, of course), but this would greatly have the chance to bring about change and prevent innocent civilian death tolls from being forgotten in the dark closets of inhumane government buildings.

youtube, i hope you're listening. i hope you take this chance. i hope you bring on the change.

evolution theory - God's creation

I never really believed in Evolution theories; not the one of Darwin or any other scientists.

I also didn’t really believe the bible when it comes to the point how the earth was created.

God’s creation in the bible is written down like a song. There are the strophes in which God’s doing is described and then there’s the refrain with the words ‘And God saw that it was good.’

It was just a song for me; Nothing more.

But about one week ago I talked to someone about Evolution and about God’s creation.

He told me about Dr. Kent Hovind and his theory.

Dr. Kent Hovind says that the bible says the truth and that God made the earth and that the earth isn’t as old as the evolution theories say (young earth creationism).

And the weird thing is, the more I do research about him and his theory the clearer it becomes to me and I can believe it.

He also says that humans lived together with dinosaurs.

I ask you, is the picture a proof for this theory?

I would say, yes. How can a footprint of a dinosaur and of a human be together in one layer of rock if they didn’t live together at the same time.

But all the Evolution theories and also the theory of Dr. Kent Hovind are just theories! No one has a real proof for his theory because no one was there, when the earth began to be earth.

But I think everyone has to find the theory he/she can believe in.

God will help you to find the right one.


God bless you
