Random thing #1
Seems like when ever life is particularly good, something tragic happens. Or in this case, something fictionally tragic. Literally three wonderful people in my life died in the last two days.
Its awful. It's Unfair.
Halfway through reading Cinder from the Luner Chronicles. The tragedy was unexpected, and I lay in horror, forcing my self to not read another chapter because it was already late.
In my already somber state of mind, I pick up Anne of Green Gables. I saw it coming, having seen the movie before hand, but mourned pitifully. I finished the book. How dare they destroy my dear character and expect me to like the book? And the worst part is that I fell in love with it. Cruelty.
About twenty minutes ago I finished watching Captains Courageous. What possessed me to want to watch that, I'll never know. I think I liked this character better then those two combined! Yet (I'm sorry to say) it was necessary. I don't like it when characters come back to life unless it had to happen. When good characters die for a good purpose, it's because they had to. As much as I love Loki.......It sort of ruined it for me.
Then there are characters that are meant to come back to life for the better. Actually for the better. Like snow white, or Gandalf, or Jesus. Except Jesus isn't a fictional character.
Random thing #2
Ever heard the Jesus Freak song by dc Talk? I've had a burst of Jesus Freakishness in the last few days.
I wasn't feeling like praying or reading the bible or singing 'Jesusy songs,' and some peoples methods of worship sort of creep me out. Like I should be falling on my knees and stuff, or else people wont think I'm a christian. I hadn't felt like praying, 2nd Samuel is a bit interesting but depressing to know that a perfect guy like David was such a dweeb, all the christian songs I've been hearing have no depth to them. I wonder why generic songs like that are so popular, it's embarrassing.
I asked God to show me something that would spark me into having more faith in him.
He not only did that in one night, but answered many of my questions too. About three minutes after waking up from a dream, I snatched my note book and spilled all my guts, thanking God. It was like he took me to the future in my dream, and reviled himself to me as if the world had ended, if we took away the world, what he would look like. And its really really really cool. I saw what worshiping looked like, and I've been hoping with it ever sense.
I can now say that I am an official dweeb-ish Jesus Freak.
Random fact #3
This one is really really deep.
Movie review on the Peanuts movie:
Adorable. Funny. It has a mix of it's own plot and plots from the old movies, they pulled it off really well.
It's about Charley Brown and his efforts on gaining self confidence from his looser-like state, and winning the Little Red Haired Girls affections.
On a scale from 1 to 10, I would give Peanuts a 10.
Loki coming back did ruin it entirely! It was such a beautifully tragic death scene, perfectly acted, fairly realistic(ish) and as much as I love Loki, I felt it worked. It was sad and pulled on my heart. AND THEN HE COMES BACK??? It's like come on people! He could've gone out with such a BANG!!! Anyways, that's my rant.
ReplyDeleteJesus Freak by DC Talk is a fabulous song and I love it. And I also like when dreams are actually interesting and life changing. Unfortunately it doesn't usually work out to be anything life changing for me... usually very random like Batman kidnapping Abby or a Nazi apocalypse or spinning on a hill singing the hills are alive... And I love that quote. Did you draw the shoes? And Peanuts is definitely a ten. Sorry. Random posts usually produce random comments. So that's mine.
Yes!!!!!! I felt kinda tragically cheated by that.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it awesome? Hay, those dreams sound pretty inspiring! They probably have some deep meaning....Some where.....
Oh, and yeah, I drew the shoes. I don't know exactly what is has to do with life changing apocalyptic dreams, but I put it on any way.
ReplyDeleteah yes, the Cinder Death.
ReplyDeleteah yes, the Anne of Green Gables Death.
I'm sorry.
and also sorry for not replying to your email, it's tech week for Alice in Wonderland *shudders*
ReplyDeleteIt is with delight and exuberance that I'd like to profer my salutations, greetings, and warmest regards to the composer of this most extravagant blog post, whom I have the pleasure of addressing. Are you referring to the part in Anne of Green Gables where Matthew Cuthbert succumbed to a heart attack?
ReplyDeleteI'm contrite to admit my callow knowledge of this "Captains Courageous" film, which you speak of, but it sounds tragic, and I am filled with melancholy condolence on your behalf.
I find I must add that your pulchritude image of those, how do they describe them again? Oh yes, "cute", shoes is simply marvelous!
But over all, I find the only way of sufficiently praising you for your work of art is congrats, and magnificent job. I leave it now at that.

To all of you: REALLY?!?! In honer of a certain person I love, go watch Captains Courageous! It's an old movie and the credits are at the beginning, but have some respect for the dearly passed! Once you do, I'll invite you to a memorial service at my basement, because at that time you'll all be sorry and we'll morn together. So there.
