What is life?

             Nothing to exciting I guess... Just back to normal life. Getting my Broadway fix as I type. :) I love this part of my life! Learning about music, is one of the best things EVER! It's also extremely helpful when you're trying to forget about something you don't want to think about. Just letting y'all know just in case! :P
             Many, many times we forget what life is about. So, I have a question for y'all to think about... What is life? This is quite the worldview question. You could wimp out, and use the dictionary definition: Existence in the physical world. But, I want ya'll to dig deeper! Really think about it. What does it mean to live? What are you living for? Is it worth it? If not, What would you rather be doing? Or should you just be happy with what you are already living for?
              All these questions should be answered. And if you don't have an answer, don't fret! Just find out what your answers are. Many times people go their whole lives without really knowing what they live for. I encourage you to figure out what it is that you live for, and if it's what you want to live for, find a way to pursue it harder.
               Unfortunately I don't know all of you on a personal level, so I can't help you... But, answering the questions above should help. I hope. :)

                  I don't really have much to say today, but I hope you enjoyed it. And I hope you all think about this REALLY HARD! :) Thanks for reading! Your writer- A J

How to use sarcasm... correctly.

Sarcasm... Ah, the mysteries, the joys! The many things you can say, then say "I was being sarcastic."
This blog is to help you master the art of sarcasm, and realize when someone else is using it.

Top Phrases: 
1. "Lovely!" Basic definition: Lovable, delightful, beautiful, grand, swell.
2. "Wow!" Basic definition: Striking success, expressing pleasure and surprise.
3. "Really?" Basic definition: Real, in actuality, true, unquestionable.

Rules: 
I probably should have stated the rules first, but I didn't think about that till just now, and am to lazy to go back and fix it... :P and ya'll are smart, you can figure it out!
1. When using sarcasm, say exactly the opposite of what you mean. This is the most difficult part of sarcasm. But, it's also the most fun part!
2. When using sarcasm, only use it with people who know the rules of sarcasm. If you decide to use sarcasm places no-one knows what you're talking about, you will have to teach them the un-spoken rules of sarcasm.
3. When using sarcasm, be careful what you're saying out loud. Most sarcastic comments are meant to be kept inside, because they are not usually the nicest things to say.

Now that you have the Rules, and Phrases to use. You need to know when to use them. Obviously, you don't use sarcasm in tight, hefty, or important situations. PLEASE only use sarcasm when you are in a situation that you won't get in trouble for joking, teasing, or playing. 
Sarcasm is an amazing form of communication. One that I never use, as you can tell from my blog! But mastering this form of communication is a long tiresome path that only a few reach the end of total mastery. Please don't give up on this journey, the one you take when you read this blog and decide to do something about it! mastering this art is extremely difficult, and must be done with caution.
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it helped you understand sarcasm better! :)

Boys

"Slugs and snails, and puppy dog tails." I started my last blog with the poem about girls. So, I figured it was only fair to start this one with the boy poem.
Shall we begin?
I have always thought there was something special about little boys... When, and if I have children of my own, I hope to have little boys. :) They are really cute I must say... And some of the most cute things they do have to do with cars, and guns. You just have to learn how to teach them how to use the things they like to have correctly. Teach them not to shoot people, but animals to bring home to the girls in the kitchen. If you teach them to have proper gun safety, to respect the weapon and what it can do, they will use them correctly.
Boys will be boys. If you take the toy gun, they will make one, if you take the one they make they will use their finger, and I'd like to see you take that away. Boys are meant to be the man of the house someday, if you don't teach them from the beginning to be so, then they will become feminine, and that is something you don't want. Girls now a days are taught to want an emotional guy, with no manhood whatsoever. Emotions are not bad things, and it's not bad to show them. Just usually, boys are to be in more control than the girls. To the boys reading, opening up is not a bad thing, just I wouldn't go around flaunting your emotions to just anybody.
The thing is, that many boys have been dumbed down to the point that their masculinity is almost non-existent. I believe that our world needs to stop dumbing our boys down into little girls, and start teaching them how to be gentlemen, and little boys.
Since I am not a boy, I probably don't have as much to say on boys as I had on girls. The main point is, Stop feminising our little boys.
Thanks for reading this blog, I hope you enjoyed it! :) Thanks again, and please subscribe!!! :) A J  :)

Girls

So, to start off... I'm sure we have all heard the poem "Girls are made of sugar, and spice, and everything nice." I am going to take a stand against my own kind and say this is SO not true about most girls I know today, including myself. I would much rather go out, and catch a frog with the guys, than prance over posies and watch as the boys catch the frogs. Not saying that I don't every once in a while go out, get all dressed up and fancy... But, I (personaly) can go from makeup to dirt in 30 seconds flat. :)
But, this leads me to another situation. Are girls rejecting their feminity way to extremely? So many girls today go around as if getting dressed up is a sin or something. I'm not saying it's bad to wear pants, nor am I saying you need to wear a dress and makeup every day of your life. I am a strong believer of flaunting natrual beauty. Do you really need that makeup every morning? Please tell me who would care. Not just the girl at work whom you're always trying to make yourself look better than, I'm talking about the people who matter the most... Your husband, your children, your best friends, your boyfriend... people like that. I don't wear makeup around my boyfriend on purpose (believe it or not)! For some reason, I have always pictured being a girl who just looks normal then when she comes down the stairs for the first prom with her boyfriend, he can't stop staring at her, because he isn't used to seeing her that way. I will say, that I don't usually get all dressed up when I'm going to see my boyfriend, but, when I do get all dressed up, it's different and more exciting. And, honestly, I like it better that way.
In this paragraph, I'm going to get something out. Girls are snotty creatures. Period. End of story. I know some amazing women whom I strive to be like, who have all dampened their "snobbyness" you might say. I hold these women very highly, and think everyday "Would _________ have done/said that?" But, these women are not perfect. I'm sure there are times when they forget to say please and thank you. And times when they can't control their emotions any better than I can. But, they still strive, and that amazes me. I have problems with being a little bossy, and saying things that I probably don't mean. Because my mouth opens way before I think about what I'm about to say. Have you ever caught yourself in the middle of a sentence, right before you were about to say something nasty, then suddenly say "nevermind."? Whenever this happens to me, I think first about how awful it would have been if I had said this thing, then why the thought ever happened in the first place. Sometimes, the second thought is the one that scares me most. I am still a very snobby creature, and have a lot of work to do.
The point of this blog I think, is to tell you that girls are not all they are made out to be. We are not better than boys, or anything like that. We have work to do, in a lot of areas, some different than others. And I would like girls to stop acting like they are so much better than everyone else.

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 :)
Thanks again!

Past, Present, and Future... and important topic.

Before I get started on this blog, I would like to warn you, that if you believe in Evolution you will not enjoy reading this. But, please don't stop reading. This could be vital to your existance. I don't usually go spiritual on my blog, but I felt it necessary. I pray that if any of you who read this are not believers, you would come to understand the gift that is offered to you by God himself. And if you are a believer reading this blog today, please pray that God would use it for his glory. Thank you.

 One thing about Time is, we don't know how much is left. The Lord could come back any second, He might drop down while you are reading this blog! But, the other thing about time is, we do know how much we HAVE had. I am going to take a stand here, and many of you won't like it. The world is not, I repeat NOT millions, or billions of years old. Evolution is disproved in the simple statement that "There really is no true way to age dirt." And that is what they do. They spend their days aging dirt. They have not found any true example of the "missing link" If we have bones from everything else... Why is there a "missing link"? There sholudn't be a link that is missing. We have bones of things that are not even in existance anymore. I would like to share some verses with you: Genesis 1:21-25 "So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with wich the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to his kind, and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them and said "Be fruitful and multiply, fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth." And there was evening and there was morning the 5th day. And God said "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds-Livestock, and creeping things and beasts of the earth, accrding to their kinds." And it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to it's kind. And God saw that it was good."
Now, I would like to take you through this passage. Obviously I take every word of Scripture to be true. Even the "and"'s, and "the"'s are there for a reason. The first part is clear to say the least. "God created the..." It doesn't say that "God made an explosion, and BOOM! Everything was in existance. God molded, and made every creature. I would also like you to notice that it says "according to their kinds." If you are a human. ALL of your relatives have been, always were, HUMAN. If you are a dog, ALL of your ancestors are DOG'S! Same goes for any other animal on the earth. Do you really want to believe that you have no more right to live than a monkey? If you came from a monkey, you should have no more rights than one. This is where I would like to share with you the glorious news: Genesis 1: 26-27 "Then God said "let us make man in our own image. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." And God made man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." WOW!! That is amazing... We are made in God's image!  How glorious is that? God loves us so much, that he made, and formed us to be like Him! Then, if that wasn't good enough, he gave us dominion over EVERYTHING!!! This is a reason to be good caretakers of what God has given you, because he has given you a lot. Esecially if you live in america. If you are reading this blog right now, and have access to internet at your home, you are pretty well off. Internet is not a necessity, many people go without it every day! And live to tell about it! (sorry, rabit trail... hopping right back...) We DO mean more than the average monkey! And not because we have "evolved more" But because God gave us that authority! So, while we sit here on our high and mighty thrones, imagining ways to explain how this all happened without God, because we are so awesome, I think He is up there laughing at our explanations.
I think we should start introducing ourselves using our geology lines... How far back do you think I would have to go till I hit Mr. P. The Monkey? 1,000 years? 10,000? 100,000? That's funny, because the earth is really only about 8-9,000 years old. 10,000 at the oldist. We don't have billions of years to work with. If you want to trust in a rigged aging machine, be my guest. I'm here to tell you that it really is rigged.
They found a dinosaur bone, that still had blood cells on it! Bet you they don't tell you THAT in your science books. They had to admit that it couldn't have been all that long ago when that animal died, and since they are telling every-one that Dinosaurs have been extinct since before people came a long, and since they say that we have been here for a REALLY long time, their evaluations were not matching up.
We are made in God's image, on the 6th day of the worlds existance. Adam sinned and messed up the heaven that God had in store for us, in the garden of Eden.
I hope you know that I am saying all of this in Love, and Mercy. I am not saying that I don't love you, or that God doesn't love you because of what you believe. I'm saying (rather bluntly) that you are incorrect. Please, pick up a Bible, and see what it has to say. Don't believe it because I say it's true. Rather, find for yourelf that it is true. I promise you that, you will find SO much evidence in favor, that it is hard to reject this truth. If you are interested, you might look up Answers in Genesis. They have a lot of great material on this subject!
But, either way. If you were interested or not, I'm happy you got to the bottom :) Thanks for reading this intimidating, super long, blunt, blog. I hope that even if you were offended you wont stop reading this blog. Thanks again for reading! Your faithful writer AJ 
Lot's of love! Please subscribe! :)

So, I figured I should.
