Important thoughts, I think.

What a week.
What a week, indeed.
     Things are going decently, I reckon. Nothing too terribly bad has happened, to me anyway. My cousin though is in a world of hurt. Found out he tried dipping to Tennessee today. Getting charged with all kinds of things. Maybe I'll have the room to myself? =D Who knows. He really has this coming to him though. Like, he needs some sense knocked into him. And me going off on him evidently doesn't do too terribly much.
     I think my mother is honestly convinced that we are in the end of days now. She keeps trying to have these spiritual talks with me. I'm thinking I might just have to come out and tell her that I'm not spiritual, at all. I'm not religious. I'm an atheist. And haha, I'm not one because it's "the cool thing." No, I have reason for believing in what I do. It takes great faith to be atheist you know? To not believe in any higher power. To believe that you are responsible for your own actions entirely. I respect people who believe in God even if I think their faith is blind and they don't look through it properly. I hate the concept of religion, really. The concept of a God, that's one thing. But formed religion is insane. That's what I hate about my family being so religious. They're all about the community and how religion itself is such a wonderful thing. It's really not. Not at all. It's corrupt. Blargh. I don't see how they look over all the faults. How they can look at the bible as anything more than a giant story book. I mean, I guess it has good lessons in it? But to look at it as a factual text reference? I don't even remotely see how. My religion lies with science, I reckon. I am a firm believer of the Big Bang Theory. They can trace it back for Pete's sake. And why would God only favor one planet if he was the God of the entire universe, why only one planet of life? None of it makes sense to me. -_- At all.
     I am watching a video right now of Joseph Kony. It's very sad. I will put the video link at the bottom, because I know a few people besides my normal read my blog. I welcome you to watch the video. It's sad. But, very touching. I wish I had the social abilities to be able to do what this man is doing for that boy. I want to do something to change the world to make it a better world. To make it better for my children when I have them. But, I don't know how. I don't know what I can do. I know one person can do so much. But, I don't think that's where my life is leading me. I don't think I'ma be the guy to change the world. Although, I wish I could. I will make my childrens life better than mine. Being I have any. I've had it rough. Not nearly as rough as some. But, I will make my life better and the people around me if I can. People tell me I care too much about people sometimes. I let everyone vent to me. Even when it completely overwhelms me, I will listen to you if you need me to. I'm just that guy. I want to help you. I want to make things better. I know what it's like to not have anyone. I went through a time myself where I didn't. I don't want anyone else to have to go through that. It's a horrible feeling. Everyone needs someone yeah? I don't know. I feel like I can't do anything big. And damnit I want to. I want to do something. But, I think I'm going to get the kit as soon as it comes on sale again. I would love do that thing they're doing in April. Maybe I'll get a bunch of people together and go light up the town with it. That'd be cool right? I encourage everyone to do it! Just get the word out yeah? Best we can do.

  1. Last night, after an amazing Chinese meal, my fortune said "You never know who you touch." My first reaction was that it was creepy >.> But, it applies, to what you're saying, in the last part at least. You change the world every day. You affect your life and the lives of others. Maybe not in some monumental way every single day, but sometimes, certainly. Being a shoulder to cry on, or someone to laugh with, giving a homeless guy a dollar, or helping someone with homework. That's changing the world, man. Not just your own world but someone else's too. With limited means, the most we can really do is try and make sure that the impacts we have are positive. Compliment instead of put someone down. Smile instead of scowl. The simplest things can make such a difference, and even if they don't make an immediate difference, no harm done, right?

    Yay I rambled and sentimentalized all over the place XD I tend to do that when I answer blogs.
