Art

Today's blog talks about art. My perspective of art is anything that is a personal expression of the artist, that leaves an impression on the world around you. If nobody knows about the personal expression, than it's simply just a personal expression, it becomes art once it is recognized by people. I believe art helps you to express yourself, when you can't find the words to. It's generally easier to paint a painting, or write a song, or even write poetry in your spare time to really show what's going on in that head of yours, than to try to explain it to people in words. Sometimes people like to show they're true selves through art, seeing as you can't judge yourself, and it's up to the people who see the art to interpret it in they're own way. I like that with art it's not just one thing, it can relate to anyone because it's left up to interpretation of the mind.

Friendship?

Today's blog asks me to talk about a picture in which a boy was playing a video game demo at a store, and his friend was letting him sit on his back. If his friend offered to do this, then he has a very good friend, that is willing to have a little self sacrifice for his friend. I think that the kid could of been standing though, but if he convinced his friend to let him sit on him, then he deserves to be able to. If I were his friend I wouldn't do that anytime, anywhere, for any reason. Maybe they took turns who knows? A lot of the wrong impression can be giving from only a part of something, you could take a speech that someone gives, and cut out all the good things he says, and only leave the bad things, or maybe this picture was just take at a bad time. So I don't think we should be too quick to judge it.

Blog

Today's blog shows a video of kids saying how they need they're mothers. I agree that children do need their parents. I have a pretty good feeling that they were told what to say though. I don't think a 9 year old is that concerned about how they will be as a teenager. I still think we need our parents though, they're one of the people shape us, like pastor Paul said, for every action there's a reaction, and it's how kids are shaped by parents. Not entirely parents actions are what shape their kids though, but they do play a big role in what they're children grow up as.

Wednesday blog

Today's blog shows a video of a teenage girl, who doesn't want God to give up on her. Looks like she was reaching out for something, and came upon Christianity. Even though she doesn't look christian, or be the typical stereotype, she does seem like a christian on the inside. This video didn't really have much of an effect on me, I see this situation so many times, we judge people and then later on say how we shouldn't judge them, because we need to show god's love, it just seems like the rules are constantly changing, but I can understand how that would work. If this girl has found her happiness with God, then good for her, but I find it's kind of like the media today, but in a way to opposite. The media wants to show all the bad things to keep people interested, and in Christianity it all seems like field's of butterflies until you really get into it. Everything has it's ups and downs in life though, everyone has they're own choice of what keeps them going.

gambling

Today's blog shows a video on gambling. I don't think gambling is wrong as long as you have the ability to control yourself, I don't see gambling as wasting money, more than buying a chocolate bar, or a soda that you don't really need. I also noticed how the other man was being a hypocrite and gambling at bingo when his wife, he was probably so concerned on gambling with his friends, that he didn't notice he was doing the same with his wife. Maybe he was lying to him though, and just didn't want to go gambling with his friends because he didn't trust them, and he later admitted it.

Monday blog

Today's blog shows a video of miss California and how she stood up for her beliefs on national TV. I think that no matter what her opinion is, it is her opinion and she is entitled to believe in whatever she wants to. People say how Christians are judgmental and people should be able to think whatever they want, but as soon as this girl who is christian shares her own opinion, she's considered a horrible person for it. I don't think as many people as you would think hated her for it though, a good majority of the crowd was cheering after she made her statement, I'm pretty sure the perez hilton guy was gay to start with, so he was probably the main one offended by it. I don't think that her opinion should have changed any of the results, but I don't think that that was officially something that affected her not getting first was it?

Thing I expected least in my life

I don't really have anything so far that I didn't expect, so far my life has just been average. I guess I didn't really expect to be into music that much. When I was younger I was actually more into video games and whatever, maybe that's normal who knows. I always wanted to play an instrument though, from piano, to drums, now guitar. I might eventually learn another one, I would like to get a lot better at guitar first though, I'm trying to concentrate on mainly that for now. I guess I didn't expect how I was gonna be. We should have a lot of things we don't expect though, if we saw everything coming in life, and they were no more surprises, that would be pointless, and life would be really boring. SO hopefully my life get's more interesting as I get older.
