hey yeah, dont freak out about the title, its a lyric from-WHO ELSE-Britney Spears. Man, do i love Britney Spears. Seeing how many people hate her or think of her as a crazy, which i cannot argue, i think she is very extravagant, intersting, diverting and an excellent example of someone who is entirely lost. Her songs in her new cd definitely bring out her courage and how she puts up a brick wall. a defensive brick wall i might add. to summarize what i just said, i feel bad for the slut/crazy/paranoid/lost person she is and would die to meet her, even through the person she is and all of her bad songs, i still like britney’s music.
and that ends my rap on that.
and now onto… well, one thing that has been bugging me is people who only care about stupid things in life and dont realize how pathetic they sound.
one example: Me, being on the track team through middle school, breaking a few records here and there :), then for like a month in highschool met some cool people. i remember how much i wanted to be like Marena! oh my how fast she went (and not to mention being a star athlete breaking a ot of records and winning invitationals as a freshman this year,) and not only wanting her legs but her charm and social ability. Or hilary who was definitely a nerd but when it came to running and making people laugh, she blew the house down while remaining suttle. Sarah, aka; the tall pretty girl in first period study hall(hahaha,) was always one of my best friends, connecting with her in the fall running 7 miles at a time w/ the kimton cross country team was always greta then ripping up numbers in the spring on our 4 by 4 team was amazing. though, as freshman year went on, we hardly saw eachother and talking was thin then hardly talking to not talking, and some texting here or there. and now to get to my point of all this:
i saw her recently, asked her how she was doing, hows the fam, dance, any bf’s… you know the easy stuff. all she knew how to say-it seemed- was i dont see you at track anymore? you were good? its hard! and througout the times i have seen her, i realize we only talk of track and dance. can i get any deeper i mean really, slow me down or someone is gonna kill themself!
but no ferreal, this aggrivates me seeing as though i dont like to get deep woth certain people and when i do talk to others (i mean COME ON its not even ‘deep’ its having an INTELIGENT conversation!!) they dont seem to care about you, or even how their life is going, just how their life IS… if that makes any sense at all.
i know the answer to why they do this of course but it just amazes me and seeing someone get saved (LAUREN DAKTERS, praise God) and seeing every aspect of her life turn around, from the way she talks to the way she feels etc., is just amazing. really. thank you GOD!
and JC, if the cavaliers win at home, that would be absolutely amazing, just a suggestion…
…i was kidding… haha, okay.
yeah man if u want to go deep into a conversation just pray about it as ur about to start talking, or as ur talking, pray in your head that jesus can speak through you
That is true…I was on the track / cross coutry team through middle and high school and although I wasn’t a Christian, I felt at times like I had foraged some really deep relationships because we were having so much fun and spending so much time together.
Well, as the running stopped, we found out that we got on each other’s nerves sometimes and so when we didn’t have the common ground, the friendships faded.
I would say for you it can be different though, like B pointed out. You have the easy common ground with people because of these things, but you also know about the deeper eternal things of life. It is really cool to be able to build these kinds of relationships that are based on eternity and not some temporary thing. They can withstand anything.
Take some chances with these old friends…while you still have the opportunity. You won’t regret it, especially when you keep in mind that if you don’t say anything, you’ll probably grow apart anyway. I never really see the guys I ran with. What do you have to lose?
Just learned that the word creation used in the Bible when referring to man is closely transalted as a poem, a creation of art. I thought of you…the poet. How cool to think of humans as poems.
Hey sorry about the last comment, I meant to post it with your poem :>)
I can totally relate to what you were saying about how people just don’t seem to care to go any deeper in convo. It is sad, but I think alot of that is attributed to how their parents are with them and our culture. It’s what they are used to, talking about shallow - now stuff, but not thinking about WHY …or how it can be different. People are also prideful and don’t want to let on that they might not know , so they don’t go there . I don’t think, in general, parents “train” their kids to think - just do, and accomplish, and win. Don’t let that fool you, that they don’t have deeper needs - that they don’t recognize that there is something more or that they don’t care.
B. is right on the money . Just like Paul ( of all people) prayed for boldness and the right words to say in Ephesians 6:19,20 - follow his example.
