Twilight

Just got back from seeing Twilight - FINALLY!

Loved it!

And not just because of this...



I mean yeah -- who wouldn't want to look at that for 2 hrs??? But the movie was good too. Really.

Disclaimer: He's 22, so it's not nearly as pervy as it looks. I swear!!

Did you see it?

Did you see the Rick Roll during the parade?? Gotta be a record for the most people Rick Rolled at once. Classic!

Lots of anger and nowhere to put it

I am furious. I raise my children to respect other people and their viewpoints, even if I find them to be uninformed. Is it really too much to expect other people to do the same?

Apparently.

Hey, guess what? If you can't respect other people and their beliefs, you have no business expecting them to respect yours. But that seems to be too much for some people. Teach your children - if they don't like being called a name... oh like say GAY for example... then they should not be calling other people that particular name. Like, oh... the Golden Rule?

What really gets me is the hypocrisy. Don't go nuts when another kid calls your kid a name, but look away when they do it. I don't know about other churches, but mine teaches us to be kind and loving, to respect others, to respect our elders (this would include NOT calling another child's parent a "retard"[nice word, btw]), and to be truthful and honest. Don't just talk the talk, you must also walk the walk. Otherwise, you're a hypocrite.

It is so hard for me to hold back right now because there are SO MANY things I want to say. Lies that I would love to expose. But I won't. Because I'm not that person. Never have been, never will be. But again... it better stop. Because if I have to, I will make it stop.

The post I wish I could've written

Of course he said it better than I could. He is a professional writer. I am a blog hack. But this post is exactly what I needed to "hear." So thanks, Wil, for saying what I needed to but couldn't.

YES WE DID!
