I feel like it’s good for a person, to just rant sometimes. Not exactly ranting in the sense that I say all kinds of things that are untrue, but just getting some actual TRUTHS out there and off your chest. Hmmmm. Definitely something to think about. Currently watching Lou Engle tear it up at Awakening 2011 in Chicago.

Watch it nowww!
What’s been on my mind lately? Humility. No one is humble anymore and I fear as though we are all going to be broken soon….We have tried to do it by ourselves for so long, but we are going to soon realize we will never be able to do anything without God. Brokenness is coming to bring us to our knees. Humility is like a tidal wave, coming fast. Get yourselves ready for the impact.
Oh you know where this is going. If you don’t, watch this.
Now that you wish you could get the last five minutes of your life back, let’s talk.
Actually, I don’t think we have to do much talking about this. But we can talk anyways.
This video is just plain bad. I don’t really know how else to say it.
Poor Rebecca Black, her parents just wanted her to be famous, but now she is famous for being absolutely TERRIBLE. Her voice sounds so whiny and half the time her face looks like she is in labor pains. And I didn’t even get to the lyrics yet.
What am I? 5? I think people who are watching this video know what the days of the week are, and if they don’t, start attending school. Really? A song about Friday? But then it’s not just Friday. She ever so kindly tells us that Thursday is the day before and then Saturday and Sunday come afterwards. I can now be at ease knowing the order of half of the days of the week…..right.
Beyond the terrible lyrics and the bad singing by Black, let’s get to this rapper who just comes up out of no where. Where does this guy think he is going? Is he hoping to get famous by this? Well he did, and now no one would ever take him worth a grain of salt because he has shamed his non existent career on this song.
This kind of reminds of Justin Bieber, except at least the Bieb has some TALENT! I will admit I am not his biggest fan, but at least he can sing better than this chick.
Friday is not Rebecca’s only glorious performance on YouTube. Just search around and you will see many more outrageously bad videos. Well I can’t talk about this anymore or else I’m going to lose it.
Rebecca, nothing personal, but PLEASE do not sing anything else. Save yourself the embarrassment because no amount of auto tune can save you now.
Okay so I have realized that I haven’t been posting on this very much, but the last couple of weeks have been kinda busy, but alas, Spring Break is here! Wonderful, and I’m in good ol Bedford County and as I look out the window all I see is clouds and trees that are getting whipped by the cold wind. I thought Spring Break was supposed to be…I don’t know…spring-like? Oh well, at least it is a break from school.
Now, I have a problem. I have been captivated by the iPad 2 and I think I want one. I know I will get hate for wanting an iPad and people will just say “It’s just a big iPod touch, wahh wahh.” Well, you like to buy your things, I like to buy mine. I know people who spend thousands of dollars for speaker systems in their cars and they only get to use them when they are in the car. I think that is dumb, but you don’t see me harassing people about it (until just now). I don’t know, I would just like to have an iPad. Problem is, I don’t have the money. Well, I have the money, but I’m not about to blow $500 bucks for a huge touch screen device. I need to be raising this money. I’ve decided if I want it, I’m gonna have to start selling some stuff. For example, old iPod Touch, old Nintendo DS lite, and other random games and stuff. Basically, I will be trading a bunch of my old stuff for a new thing. Makes more sense than just going out and buying it on a whim and adding it to a pile of things. Another problem, I don’t like selling my old stuff. ha. Guess I will have to get over that if I want to get an iPad. Hmm. Dunno yet.
Well, the Steelers couldn’t pull it off, but the Packers did. The Packers deserve that win because the Steelers did not play like they should have. Three turnovers on your offense and none on the other team is a recipe for disaster in the Super Bowl and the right team came out winning. I’m actually kind of glad that the Steelers didn’t win. Now I’m sure you are wondering, “WHAT? I thought you were a diehard Steelers fan!” Well yes, I am, but I also know when we don’t deserve a win. Also, if we would have pulled off an amazing last minute drive like the last Super Bowl we won, everyone would have been crying “Steelers are the luckiest team in the NFL boohoooooo.” And that may seem exaggerated but that is exactly what all those Steeler haters would be crying. But they all got their wish and the Steelers didn’t win the Super Bowl. They all made out pretty good and got a little cheese with their whine.
Personally, I’m not that bothered by the fact that the Steelers lost. What makes me mad are the people who have no respect for the city, the team, or the organization and what they do. They trash the Steelers nonstop and always have something negative to say about them. Guess that’s what happens when your team doesn’t perform up to par, you have to go on and complain about how good other teams are. Then when you challenge that person and ask them how their team did they always say “Next season bro, next season.” Wow, not like I heard that before. haha. It’s all pretty entertaining really.
Anyways, we get to move on to other sports. Now the Penguins will get my full attention for awhile and then comes the…MIGHTY PIRATES! Here’s to a season over .500!
One Word. Phenomenal. So many artists for such a little price, you can’t beat it! I paid ten bucks to see the Newsboys, David Crowder Band, Kutless, Red, Chris August, and many more artists. If any of you out there have a chance to go to a WinterJam concert, GO!!!! It will be the best ten bucks you ever spend in your life, and that is a promise. Now the fun part is figuring out what time you should arrive at the concert. My group that I went with showed up at 11 AM for a concert where the doors open at 4:30….crazy? Yes. Worth it? Most definitely. Seats right beside the cat walk made that wait worth it. I could just go on for hours about how awesome this concert was, but that would just get boring for some of you. Let’s just say that I would go to all the remaining concerts if I could and I would pay ten bucks each time. Yeah it was that amazing.
Summary: If you have ten bucks and want an awesome night of awesome music and performances, go to WinterJam. Even if you aren’t a Christian, it is worth ten bucks to rock out all night long from like 5 to 11. But if you are a Christian, well it just makes the concert that much better. Also, I have come to the conclusion that praise and worship being led by David Crowder has to somehow resemble in just a small tiny bit what praise and worship in Heaven will be like. Awesome.
Now go out and find a WinterJam near you!
PS: Michael Tait is so amazing and entertaining that words cannot do justice.
Hello All Recently, I have started my radio practicum here at good ol Geneva College. At first I was a little apprehensive about the whole thing, but after a night of being a DJ, I realized I actually really enjoyed. Who would have known that I would enjoy spending my Monday and Tuesday evenings sitting in a (sometimes hot) radio studio. Anyways, I would appreciate it if you all tuned in on Mondays from 7:00-8:30 PM and Tuesdays from 6:00-8:00 PM and listen to me talk to you about nice things and here some sweet music. I promise it will be worth your time. 😉
And yes mother, I will stop mentioning the weather every five minutes on the air….
So how bout them Steelers? Well of course they pretty much dominated the Jets. But how bout them Steelers haters? Well of course they pretty much were haters like always. Steelers haters are just that, haters. I could rant on and on about this, but then I would get comments like “Refs play for the Steelers, You can’t beat a team supported by God, or the Steelers are so lucky.” Give me a break. I still think the Steelers are targeted more than most teams in the NFL and that our QB takes the most hits, without penalties. Put ol Lady Brady in Ben’s situation and you would see flag left and right because someone touched Brady’s arm. It’s just rather pathetic if you ask me. Then we move on to the haters who say Ben is a rapist. Well I’m sorry that news is old, and it was an accusation, not evidence. I’m not going to sit here and say he didn’t, but who are you to judge another person’s actions when you yourself have committed wrongful actions in the past. This is the part where I go Christian on you. As Christians we are supposed to see the good in people, but I see many people who call themselves Christians smack talk Ben every chance he gets. He makes a few mistakes and now he is the worst person on the face of the planet. But it’s okay if someone like Brett Favre sends sexual messages to staff of the Jets, I’m sure he didn’t mean any harm. Give me a break, Steelers haters are a bunch of hypocrites. They would defend their own player even if they killed a man coughstallworthcough. I’m just sick of everyone acting like babies when the Steelers win. Suck it up and realize that just because your team didn’t make the playoffs, doesn’t mean you have a free ride to act like jerks towards the Steeler Fan Base. I’m done. I’m sure people will still argue this, because they have nothing better to do with their time. Have fun.
Oh yeah, Steelers are going to the Super Bowl if you didn’t already know, haters. But I’m sure they do know, because Steelers haters are more dedicated to following the Steelers than most ordinary people. Kinda funny if you think about it. The Steelers haters are becoming their own separate fanbase for the Steelers! How cute.
One of the worst things that could happen to a man’s computer, rendering it totally useless. I spent the whole night last night trying to remedy my poor Dell and finally, at around 1:30 am I finally got it fixed. Phew, just thought I would share about the crazy experience. It was very stressful, because like I have said, a college kid without a working computer is like a car without tires. Not productive. I have to thank God that I didn’t lose my mind (or my data on my harddrive) and that somehow He guided to me the right website and program to help fix this thing. Crazy how God even cares about the little things in our lives. On a sadder note, it shows how much we depend on technology in today’s society…/fail. Oh yeah, one last thing I have to say….GO STEELERS!!!!
Well this semester is off to a decent start. First day of classes went well enough, but the best part is we get to do it all over again for tomorrow! Yeah, tomorrow is the first day of classes for the T, TH classes so basically it is the second first day of classes. Go figure. Anyways, yay college. Hopefully 20 credits this semester doesn’t do me in too bad, but I’m sure I will manage somehow. Sooooo that’s about it for right now. Not too interesting but oh well. Not my problem if you think you wasted time reading this. haha. I promise to have something more interesting to write about later.
