On an episode of Sex and the City (now you know it'll be a good post if I begin it like this) Carrie was saying how she heard a quote saying "A life unexamined is not a life worth living." However, as many other girls can agree, sometimes we spend too much energy examining a situation that we do taking action and fixing it. A girl's life consists of a million questions:
"Does he like me?" "How do I look?" "What will he do next?" "Did I just fail that test?" "What does she have that I don't?" "Did I really just say that?" Are we in any way, shape, or form helping our situation or are we just procrastinating with style? I've heard the phrase "Answers only make more questions." Maybe its time we stop asking all these questions..."Will I get that score on the ACT?" "Will I have enough money?" "Will I get a scholarship?" "Will I ever get over him/her/this?" "What will I do with my life?" Maybe it's time to go forget about the unanswered questions, the false statements, the harsh remarks, and just be. Somehow, I think, the answers will unfold without you even asking them to.

Back up off
Recently, people have been getting down on my main man, and I just can’t stand for it. Seriously, what did Abraham Lincoln ever do to you? We watched this video in theology where Tom Osborne uses my man Abe as an example of preference saying that even though he failed a lot at first before he eventually began to succeed.
This is inherently false. Everyone of Abe’s “failures” were simply a part of her ultimate success and therefore not failures at all. So stop saying that is an example of Abe perseverance. If anything he is a prime example of a whirlwind ride straight to the top.
Also, perseverance in itself it crap. If you didn’t fail in the first place then perseverance would never be necessary. They say if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. But I say, if at first you don’t succeed, what the hell is wrong with you.
This is not to say that, should you fail at something, you shouldn’t try again. It is simply to say that you should do so in great disgrace.

School is overtaking my life right now it is yet just September. I was apparently stoned last year when I decided to take as many AP classes I could think of. Mostly I just signed up for them because it will impress the balding college admissions person, however I hate to admit I'm glad I took them. Extremely challenging for me as they are, yeah, they're hard, I'm learning something, and I did not make my madre pay $6,000 so I could take mediocre classes that doesn't allow me to use my full brain power. Not that I have alot. My attention span is making me think I don't. I have a point, I think.
Well anywho, as I said school is taking over, so school I shall write about. In religion we skimmed over the topic of gay marriages. In a hand out we had to read and were quizzed over, there were some interesting topics, some saying that "Marriage is best kept in the traditional sense." If we kept all the traditions of marriage, the status of women in our world would be non existent, we would have rags full of blood to prove a girls virginity, another wonderful tradition that has been thankfully dropped in our society. Also, in another article we had to read, it says "...against God's plan for marriage, marriage is holy, while homosexual acts go against moral law." I agree with two of the three statements. Marriage is very holy, and its true that homosexual acts go against the stupid natural law, however my take on God's plan for marriage is to find love, create a family. You can do that through gay marriages. Then theres the whole should gay couples adopt...I'd say if the kids facing being an orphan or having a home with gay people, I'd choose the home. Also, is gay marriages undermining the sanctity of marriage more than divorce? "Divorce-not same sex marriage- is the No. 1 enemy of marriage." Another quote from the articles.
Basically I think if you love a person, marry em for pete's sake. Don't governments have murders or poverty or scandals in the White House to deal with? The gay people aren't harming anyone, go find a terrorist.
