I need a new title. :P

Apr. 9, 2009 - Hmmmm.

I figured I should write an entry.

Well, I've been busy this week. Glad the week is finally winding down. Ummm, I got a new avatar! It is colorful, don'tcha think? :D

Easter is this Sunday! I didn't know until Monday. I was really surprised about it. I mean, it was in March last year. So it's kinda weird. I feel like posting about my favorite music groups. I really like SuperChick. They're a Christian Rock/Pop/Hip Hop group, and I got their latest album for Christmas last year. And we have the first one too. There was this one song I found a few days ago, and it was really surprised me. The group doesn't really do stuff like this. It was very surprising. I love the song, and it means so much to me. Here are the lyrics.

No one sits with him, he doesn't fit in
But we feel like we do when we make fun of him
'Cause you want to belong,do you go along?
'Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong.
It's not like you hate him or want him to die,
But maybe he goes home and thinks suicide
Or he comes back to school with a gun at his side
Any kindness from you might have saved his life.

Heroes are made when you make a choice

You could be a hero - heroes do what's right
You could be a hero - you might save a life
You could be a hero - you could join the fight
For what's right, for what's right, for what's right

No one talks to her, she feels so alone.
She's in too much pain to survive on her own.
The hurt she can't handle overflows to a knife
She writes on her arm wants to give up her life.
Each day she goes on is a day that she's brave
Fighting the lie that giving up is the way
Each moment of courage her own life she saves
When she throws the pills out, a hero is made.

Heroes are made when you make a choice

You could be a hero - heroes do what's right
You could be a hero - you might save a life
You could be a hero - you could join the fight
For what's right, for what's right, for what's right

No one talks to him about how he lives
He thinks that the choices he makes are just his
Doesn't know he's a leader with the way he behaves
And others will follow the choices he's made.
He lives on the edge, he's old enough to decide.
His brother who wants to be him is just nine.
He can do what he wants because it's his right,
The choices he makes change a nine-year-old's life.

Heroes are made when you make a choice

You could be a hero - heroes do what's right
You could be a hero - you might save a life
You could be a hero - you could join the fight
For what's right, for what's right, for what's right

Little Mikey D. was the one in class
who every day got brutally harassed.
This went on for years until he decided
That ever again would he shed another tear
So he walked through the door,
Grabbed a forty four out of his father's dresser drawer,
And said I can't take life no more.
And like that, life can be lost
But this ain't even about that
All of us just sat back
And watched it happen
Thinking it's not our responsibility
To solve a problem that isn't about me
This IS our problem
This is just one of the daily scenarios
In which we chose to close our eyes,
Instead of doing the right thing.
If we make a choice
Be the voice
For those who won't speak up for themselves,
How many lives would be saved
Changed, rearranged?
Now it's our time
To pick a side.
Now don't keep walking by,
Not wanting to intervene,
'Cause you just want to exist;
And never be seen
So let's wake up
Change the world-
Our time is now!

You could be a hero
heroes do what's right
You could be a hero
you might save a life
You could be a hero
you could join the fight
For what's right, for what's right.

I was talking to my brother about it. He said that it was talking about High School in the 90's and early 2000's, how there were gangs (And there still are), people selling drugs, and stuff - how no one was doing anything about. No one was being sympathetic.

Now they're being too sympathetic.

I better close this entry before I start to rant.

Blessings,

~Abigail

Actually, Abby, I think the song has a good message. There's a story that's been going around in an email - I don't know if it's true or not - that talks about the same stuff as this song does. I could post it on my blog for you to read if you want. It's a really cool story!

I really like your template, by the way!
