These few things have been on my mind recently. can't get all my thoughts down on paper in a journal and I want to tell all ya'll so here it goes!

first things first...just becuase a guy and girl hang out DOES NOT MEAN THEY "LIKE" ONE ANOTHER!!!!!!! I have many great guy friends and some of my girl friends are confused. They'll say "i thought you liked him but you were hanging with him alot today? do you like him instead now?" NO! Guys and girls can be JUST friends. If it does go to the next level, koodos to them! happy for them! I'm tired of this being a problem. And it's not just one for me, alot of my other friends, guys and girls, have this problem! If you see someone talking to one of the oppisite sex alot and hanging out and laughing don't jump to the conclusion that they "like" each other or they're dating or whatever! erg! sorry, this has just been on my mind recently.

second...this one is a bigger and I am more passionate on this...don't be offended...gays. At youth, homosexuals came up in the discussion. One of the kids was saying that they are born like that and such; this is not true. Being gay is a choice. its not a disease or something you are born with...its a CHOICE!!! The youth leader said that its sorta like alcholism; some people are born who are more prone to be alcholics than others. This is mainly genetic. If being gay was genetic (meaning you inherited it from a family member) YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE! therefore, that excuse is ruled out. God made Man and Woman to love one another and be with one another forever. If he had wanted us to be gays, he might have put Adam and Evan instead. I think being gay is a freak of nature...it's not right! The Bible says so and that anyone who lies with the same sex, they are to be condemned. To show you how else our society has changed, I will bring us Oscar Wilde (he wrote The Portrait of Dorian Grey, Canterville Ghost and a few other things) He was put on trial for homosexual activities and thrown in jail for such number of years. We now live in a world of tolerance. We are supposed to tolerate those we don't agree with and those who rub us wrong. I don't think I agree with this. In philsophy class we talked about this. Hitler was the main example. If Hitler had tolerated the Jews, there would have been no Holocaust. Yes, right. BUT,since someone tolerated his idea and did nothing about it, the Holocaust happened. If the USA had tolerated Hussein, he would still be a threat to the world and be killing his people. If we had not tolerated the idea of abortion (sick, there would be no discussion of it today.This goes on forever! thats been on my mind as well.

Third and last thing on my mind is this guestion: What is so great about a kiss? (warning to guys: entering girl's thought process...BEWARE!!!)Is there something about it that is just so wonderful people must have because its so wonderful? I have never been kissed. Fine by me...just haven't met the right guy yet. The world portrays it as this wonderful thing on TV and in movies but also so trivial. The way they show it normally is...gross! But old pictures, like the black and white one of the Navy guy and his girl...that is one of my favorite pics. Its sweet, simple and everything. I'm not even sure why this popped into my head but...it did so...

 thought I'd write this all down, get it out of my head and hear ya'll's comments on it. bye!
