Clarification (Warning, You May Not Want to Read This)

So, I put up the last blog looking specifically for people to comment on it. I have no good reason why I did it, but over the past few days that people have left comments, I have found a few good reasons for it.

Austin made the comment that says, "trying to mirror things in your life to things like M&M's, Ozzy, and Van Halen will just drive you insane." Now, my question to Austin is this, Where in that entry did I say I wanted to be like this? If you read the title it says, "Facts/Beliefs". Now the way I was taught, when you use a slash(/), that means and-or. I am not reflecting my life to be like these things. I was simply stating a fact that not many people know. Trust me Austin, I'm doing better than you may think. Sorry if I have upset you.

Heather, I love you like a sister. One little secret that I meant to put on the last blog was that I love it when my sisters comment on my blogs. That tells me that they care about me, that they want me to do better. But now, it's time for some sibling rivalry, not really, I just want to comment on your comment. One thing that no one has asked me is, why do I care if people actually comment on theses things? Well, even though no one asked, I will tell. I write these blogs more as a journal style of writing. I want to look back on these years from now, or even months, and see how I was in the past. If I was miserable, I want to see how miserable I was. I know people say that you are supposed to bury the past, but the past is what got us to the point we are at today. I want to look back and see how I got to the point I am at. As for the comments, I want people to comment so I can see how much your opinions have changed me. And, if any of you have ever looked back on any of my past blogs, you would see that I value others opinions and beliefs. Even though I don't agree with all of the comments you give me, I still consider them. I believe that you must hear all sides of a belief, to know truly what you believe.

p.s - Heather, I blows my mind how you have managed to curse and then talk about God in the same sentence. Sorry, I just had to break the awkwardness.lol Love you!!!


Since I'm on a rant about blogs, since when were there rules set in stone about what you could and couldn't do on a blog? I hear people say that the purpose of blogging is about therapy or inspiration or love. But, isn't the purpose of a blog up to the blogger? I feel as if many people on the comments were telling me that I couldn't have a blog that just asked a question, or that listed my beliefs, or some random facts. So I apologize if I've offended anyone who thinks you shouldn't ask an opinion.

And what happened to the other facts or beliefs that I had on there? I thank those of you who understood the randomness of the blog, as well as the seriousness. Thank you Hollywood for agreeing with my love of Classic Rock, you are a true friend. And let me ask you all something. Did anyone ever look at this little quote,
"In any list of facts, you have to have an obvious fact thrown in somewhere, just so you can lecture people later to see if they read everything or not. It is a good way to point out liars. You can just ramble on about absolutely nothing, then ask later if they read it. When they say something totally different than what you say you could grill them about it. But I'd advise you not to do that, because they could be testing you as well."
That is word for word, unchanged people. Now, truthfully, how many people actually read that?

Ok, back to your comments. Whoever 'Gunit505' is, please tell me if you are someone I know or not. I have a few personal issues with you. By personal issues I mean I am going to teach you how to spell better.lol But seriously, refer to parts earlier in this blog about my intentions. And let me ask you something. Why did you pick this time to comment on a blog? Why did you leave your comment under a name I would not know? And why do you do this, without previously Reading my other entries?

Raymond, don't forget to comment on my blog. You always tell me to remind you, so there ya go.

And now, for the stressful part of this entry. 'Your Sister', You have said many things in your comment that will help me change. You always have a way of making me look at what I am, and what I am becoming. You are right on one thing, I do think I have some sort of mental issue that I need counseling for. I publicly admit that I have some issues that need to be worked out. I sat in a church today, and through the service, I just couldn't get into it like I used to. I don't know if it was the lack of Spirit around me, or the lack of Spirit in me. But I sat in that pew with a sad face. But when the invitation came around, I saw the youth group of the church go to the altar. I only saw the youth, I looked around and saw the people of the church with smirks on there faces. I smiled when I saw the youth, but I nearly left when I saw the rest of the congregation. So there is hope for me yet, just as there is hope for the church. Whether it be the adults of the church of today or tomorrow, there is hope. But, I love you 'Your Sister'. Just keep me in your prayers. I will get better over time mentally, and spiritually, and I'm glad to know I have friends and family on my side.

Ok, since I haven't put this in in a while, I will now. I apologize to you if anything in this blog has offended you. Just remember that this is all my opinions. I write this down with a base intention, but as I start writing, my heart takes over my thoughts, and I begin to write what I feel is right at the time. But, just keep in mind that these are my opinions, and I would love to hear yours. Because, come on, we need opinions. God gave them to us to keep up conversations and whatnot. I love you all, thank you for reading.

So...I'm locked out of the room right now. I have been ever since you turned over to go to sleep. My keys and my phone are in my jacket and I tried knocking on the door right after I left, but you either fell asleep that quick or were too lazy to answer my repeated knocking...or both. Beau didn't answer his door and Brent didn't either, so I couldn't call you. Anyway, I'm in the SLC. On to commenting on the blog!

Sheesh, Rickey. Of course there are rules about what you can type in blogs. I mean, heaven forbid you offend someone, make them think, make them uncomfortable, or make them actually care about someone other than themselves. I bet if you used "fuck" or bashed something they enjoyed, you'd get a lot of comments. But no one wants to take time out and comment if it's about a tough time someone is going through. They're too uncomfortable to know what to say. And they don't want to admit that they're not perfect either. It's that damned blind optimism I've been telling you about. Just pretend like there are no problems in life and like everything is okay and you'd be surprised how perky you can sound. :D

Oh well. I'm not bitter by any means. I'm sure I'll get replys to my comments, especially from your siters. :) Hello Heather. (waves)

Thanks for the reminder, Rickey. I commented on your last post.

Oh well. You should take what I said with a grain of sand anyway. I just kept typing. I'm sure many people will comment and say I'm wrong and tell you how much they care about you and whatnot. I hope it's true. But I'm an optimistic pessemist. I hope for the best, but expect the worst. If I were to go back through and read my comment, I'd probably agree with all of it.

I guess that's what I get for not proofreading my comment. I meant "sisters" and grain of "salt."

I have to have two tabs open for this one!

First of all, I stick with everything I wrote in my last comment. Crap, now I forgot what your new blog said and I have to go read it again. **reading** done.

"p.s - Heather, I blows my mind how you have managed to curse and then talk about God in the same sentence. Sorry, I just had to break the awkwardness.lol Love you!!!"

It blows my mind that you go to a Christian college, and video tape other young men/boys/men whatever you are Raymond, taking a crap, not to mention all the other things you do that are wrong. But it's not my place to judge you, and we all do "wrong" things. So there, now we're even.

Now to comment on Raymond *waves back*.

I think Rickey locked you out purposely because he's afraid of what you may do to him while he's sleeping. :)

"especially from your siters"

If I was Rickey's siter, I would shoot myself.

"You should film more...just not in bathrooms."

As wrong as it is, I think you should. It's quite funny. And it's something I can tell on you about to Mom.

"Country music is fine depending on what you mean by country. There aren't many true country songs in our modern culture."

I agree with the later of this.

"Why are you so bitter?"

I'd like to know the same.

"Nephews are awesome!"

His is the best!

"People are talking about you behind your back, but then again, people do the same about me. And I know you talk about others behind their back. The best thing to do is to make sure they don't have anything to talk about. If they make stuff up, let them. At least people can get to know you and realize that they were lies."

I agree, and I always talk about Raymond behind his back. I've never seen his front though.


Lastly Rickey, "I apologize to you if anything in this blog has offended you."

I'm not sure you ever offend anyone. People just like to argue with you! Love ya!
