God made you, you.

Some people don't like who they are. The sad thing is, that God made these people! He doesn't care weather they had a good childhood or not. Whatever the situation is, He still made them, and loves them enough to die for them. No matter what it is that you do, you were made for a reason. And many, many people don't see it that way. Unfortunantly, there are many people who see themself as worthless, or incapable of things that they would like to do.
Something you should know about me, is that I am very artistic. Things like that just come natrually to me. Music, drawing, arts and crafts, that's just my thing. Then there are people like my boyfriend, who are very logical, understanding, and need a plan for every little thing! Not that this is bad. Don't get me wrong, I love the way my boyfriends mind works. I swear, just because of the way he is, his brain has a little section for everything he does! One section for math, one for science, one for logic, so on and so forth. Whereas mine is just strewn all over the place. Everything I think about has some conotation to something else, usually a song, or a piece of art that I have seen lately.
Now that I have officially spilled the way my boyfriends mind works... The point here is, that Everyone is different! The best thing is, that we are able to find the best in other people to ballance out the weirdness of ourselves. If I didn't have my logical friends around, I would be a crazy mess!
The point here is, that no matter how unhappy with you being the way you are, you might be. God made you, you for a reason. He doesn't make mistakes, so thank God you are who you are.
Thank you for reading this short little blog. I hope you noticed that this was a short blog, with a powerful message. Thanks again for reading! Your faithfull writter A J :)

An update on "time"

Last time I "blogged" I wrote this semi-interesting piece on time. I don't know who read that, or even if ya'll liked it because *cough* no-one commented, or subscribed! *cough* Anyway... Back to the subject. Time... let's see, I went over how creepy it is to think of the "present" as the "present". (If you don't know what I am talking about, please, go back, read, and catch up!) I have considered this more, and it is still freaky. Here in the comfort of my home, I have a clock. That clock goes, "tick, tock, tick, tock" until it's battery dies. It is incapable of moving itself from it's situation, can't change itself, is literally dead! We, are just like that clock. Give me some time to explain myself here, I am not saying that you are dead (except for if you are "dead in your sin" and need to be revived by the holy spirit), I am not saying that you can't move, and I'm not saying that you can't change. But in a sense, I am saying that you can't change. We cannot go back in time, or forward in time for that matter. Not only is it a ridiculous assumption, but would you really want to? Don't just jump to conclusions here, Really think about this for a moment please. Say, you did something bad, that you shouldn't have done. And I'm sure we can all picture ourselves doing that un-known act that no-one knows you did but yourself, that you regret every time you think about it. Maybe you have pushed this so far out of your head, that you don't really remember anymore. If that is you, congratulations, you have found your "happy place!", just imagine yourself having done something wrong. It would be nice to go back, and just not do that, wouldn't it? If you said "yes" you haven't thought this out enough. But, I won't make you re-think it for a while yet. Say, you are in your local candy store, there are these BIG TUBS of candy and you get to scoop you're desired candy into the plastic baggy of your choice. You found a tub of candy that you thought looked really good, but had never seen it before, so decided to try a piece. But, it was so good, that you tried another, and another, and another, till the tub looked half full. Obviously this is hypothetical, and if this is your "bad thing" that you shouldn't have done, I am not psych, and I am so sorry for putting it on the internet for the world to see, if you have a problem email me, if you put up a good enough argument, I just might change it ;) Now, think what would happen if you could go back to the candy store, knowing that you regret your actions, and not eat the candy. Not a bad idea. Yes? NO! If you hadn't made that mistake at the candy store, you would have made it somewhere else. We are people, people usually learn from their mistakes. If you hadn't "stolen" from the candy store, you might have gotten up one day and decided that it was a good day to rob a bank, or something more extreme/severe than a candy store. Going back in time, even for something as small as eating candy before you payed for it, could alter your entire being. You would not be the person you are today without your past. Your past is a big part of who you are. Everyones past is filled with good things, and bad things. Without either one of these qualities, you would be so much different than you are today. I don't care who you are, your past has a lot to do with who you are today. So, I hope I have put a new light on those weird si-fi movies about going back, and altering the past to make things better. Because, I don't think it would make things better to go back and say, kill Hitler before he had the chance to start up those camps. Because if Hitler didn't do it, someone else would. Which is also why it's important not to forget our history. If we forget what we have done in the past, and how we felt, it is a very strong probability that we will repeat the same stupid mistakes that we have made before. Just like a song, that repeats itself over and over till you are screaming "WE GET THE POINT!". That is what our history will start to look like if we decide to change/forget the past.
I hope you enjoyed this blog, if there is more you would like me to add, or something you think I should write about, please, leave a comment, or email me. And SUBSCRIBE!!!! (not that I'm pushy or anything :D ) Thank you for reading, and dedicating to me some of the time in your day. I definitely appreciate it. Your faithful writer A J

Welcome to Spring! :)

Spring: Pretty Flowers, Happy Animals... all kinds of things that make girls like me happy! Playing guitar outside time has come! Oh, how I long for this time year round! It's an amazing feeling, knowing that everyone in hearing range can hear you... Sometimes scary, but other times you are like "I HOPE someone heard that!!!" This time of year, you just long for a tree to climb, and a great book to sit up there and read! Camp outs in your back yard are great fun too! Hiking, bike riding, horse back riding, running, all these fun things you can do! Some you can do year round, but others are just way better in spring! Weren't the "April Showers" worth it? Look around you. Gorgeous things are popping up everywhere! God has blessed us with vision to see His wonderfull creation. And I think this time of year our eyes should be peeled more than usuall for something new and exciting that wasn't there, or we didn't notice last year.
Now that excitement has passed I would like to take this time to talk about something that has been on my mind for the last few days. "Everyone ready?.... Drum roll please!!..." "Time." Now, you may be thinking "Time? Really? Time? Seriously... how complex is that? 60sec = 1min, 60min = 1 hour, How hard is it?" I know... I know, it's pretty ridiculous. But it is kind of weird if you think about it. Why can't we just stay in one time period for ever? Have you ever felt that way? You just wanted to repeat something over, and over, and over again? And what is this about "Present"? It is this slow line that moves along on the scale of time. Can't go forward or back after you pass it. You are constricted to this skinny line called "Present". And there are weird sayings... like "This is now, it's a gift that's why it's called the 'Present'." That is so creepy... Seriously gives me the willies. If it's the "Present" as in "Gift form" That is the scariest thing alive! Some things aren't happy. Is it just me or aren't "Gifts" supposed to be happy? What happens if you are dying this slow, and painfull death. Do you want someone to come up and say "It's a GIFT! That's why it's called the PRESENT!" No, of course not! Who would? That is just one of my pet peeves... I mean yes, sometimes it feels pretty good, and you never want to leave this "Present". But we don't get to decide when we leave, or even if we get here. Do you see how complex this is now? This is just one of the main questions. Maybe I will update this  blog at a later date... or continue it on a different one. But for now, I hope you have enjoyed the happiness on Spring, and the questions on Time. Thanks for reading! Please subscribe! Your faithfull writter- A J

Good music

Good music. Lets see... How can I describe this? The dictionary defines music this way: The science or art of ordering tones in harmonic sucession. But I think good music is something else all together. Finding the sound that you like, I think, is a life long journey. I go through what seems like phases. One day I feel like hip hop music, the next day I want country music, then another day I want hard rock. It all depends on what you want to hear, or what tones you like. I have a friend who, I swear, only buys music if it is in the key of G. Personaly I like a little variety, a little C, a little D... But to each his own. The definition of good is defined: Of a favorable character, or tendancy. So, if you put both of those together to get the dictionary's definition of "good music" it would be: A favorable ordering of tones in harmonic sucession. So, by dictionary terms good music is Bach, or Beethoven. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against either of those guys, I like a lot of their stuff. But, I couldn't listen to it all day. I'm sure there are people out there who can listen to that. I'm not one of them, to each his own, I wont judge you. I would be more than happy to sit down and listen to Bach with you. I just probably wont do so of my own accord. I'm going through a small obsession with a song called Rumor Mill by We are the In Crowd. A little hard, but great fun to listen to. I found it randomly for free on Amazon! So, I am sending ya'll out on a mission! find music that you can't live without, or music that you can't seem to go a day without listening to, and post the name of the track, and the artist as a comment. You can add a link too. I am interested in what you are listening to, so Please! Do tell! :) 
Thank you for reading this short blog on music. Your faithfull writer A J I hope to hear/ read your comments soon!
