Cheese Danish

Today is a good day. Here's why. I woke up to my alarm at 5:40, got out of bed around 6:40, went to Toads coffee at 7:20, bought a cheese danish and apple juice, and got to school early, around 8:05. I have a lot of homework to finish tonight, including reading to chapter 19 in Huck Finn (I need to be ahead because of History paper), three paragraphs in History, and roughly 70 pages in that MLK book. Lots of homework, but ohwell. If i finish early I'll watch Pretty Little Liars :)

Actually that's a lie. I'll get startedon Theology questions because that would be nice to get ahead.

I literally spend 30 minutes yesterday planning out my entire week/weekend based on homework.

good use of time?

actually, yes.

Dress of the week:



I'm super glad we got out sweatshirts yesterday. Mine is rather warm. I do not think anyone will have trouble remembering the year we graduate now :)

So Cailyn didn't post yesterday, so I guess I'll start the theme. It may not work, but maybe it will. I wonder how far we could keep this going. I'll start a story, and at the end of your blog post, you continue it. and we'll see what it turns into.

>Once upon a time there was a girl. She lived in the jungle with her pet dragon and enjoyed...

Let's keep it going! haha

What else is there to talk about.

>Flameboy is mean.

>My cat is adorable.

>My lunch is tasty.

>So is this apple juice.

yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.....

OH theology class. I have a feeling that this semester it is going to get quite messy. we're talking about morality and many people in our class have very strong feelings. It also doesn't help that I don't agree with Carasco's point of view at all. She keeps talking about the Christian Utopia, and honesty, etc. And I agree that honesty is great but in order to have a Christian Utopia, we would need to say "these people are wrong, and we (Christians) are right." Utopia for Christian's, sure but not for anyone else. It's like saying "We can have world peace as long as I'm the leader." That again would be saying someone is right and someone is wrong. Again, not a Utopia for everyone. Utopia, by definition, means perfect. So who decides what is perfect? Again, it would be a Utopia according the Christians with what she's talking about. And for a Christian Utopia (perfect world) to occur, obviously they would decide what is right and what is wrong, who is correct and who is misled etc. and they would need to change other people's views. Maybe they think they are helping create this Utopia, but not being a Christian and being forced to live in the "perfect world" would make me pretty angry. I do not think there is every a possibility for a Utopia (sorry to be pessimistic) because like I said, by definition, Utopia means perfect, and creating one would give someone the power to decide what is perfect. Everyone has their own Utopia because everyone is different.
Did that make any sense?
And she brought up the point of "is killing someone moral?" I am just hoping no one bring up the topic of abortion because that would get really heated. Is an embryo considered a human?
But then again, what if Utopia doesn't mean "perfect", it means "Different" and accepting differences.
Problem: Some people believe in fighting for what they believe. Then war starts. not so Utopia now is it?
So then we go back to accepting differences and not waging war.
Sure, little differences are fine, but what about the psychopath or that person who believes that killing people because "God said so" is ok? Then what? Do we accept that that's how he thinks and accept his differences? If not, then who decides what differences we accept and what differences we do not? He believed what he was doing was right, who's to tell him he's wrong? What if we're the crazy ones?

Comments?
Thanks for reading (if you did.)

  1. Wow. That's a pretty interesting long rant. It has a lot of truth in it though Kylie. And this is why I think you guys needed to have smaller religion classes. Oh well. I love the story idea at the end of the blogs! And I think to follow the story, the person should copy the whole story and paste it into their blog, and then add onto it, so people don't have to flip back and forth between posts to follow the line of the story.

  2. I agree with her about the story copying thing.

    I also think theology debates are fun because I secretly love arguing in that kind of debate-y way.
