Miscellaneous Thoughts

Computer technology has advanced extremely quickly over the last few decades. A popular comparison highlights this advancement:
"If automotives progressed as fast as computer technology, today's car would have a 1/10th inch engine, get 120 000 Miles Per Gallon, run at a speed of 240 000 Miles Per Hour, and cost $4. "

Yeah, I wish. So, thanks everybody for the comments on my last blog but I think it is due to my physical health. Sometimes I feel sort of achy even like I am getting sick but I know I'm not and my eyes are burning like I'm getting sick but I'm not. Strange. I am going to start excercising more and spending more time with God. It inspired to be more motivated so Thank You!! My dad thinks I'm low on iron....that could be. We're vegetarians so I might need some more iron through other food products.

Anyways....the last couple months I have been listening to song lyrics a lot more and what they mean instead of just listening to the music. That's important too but it's the lyrics that make it a good or meaningful song. Some artists that I really like the lyrics of are Drentch, Jeremy Camp, United, and Michael W. Smith. I don't care what jokes people make about Smith being gay and all that stuff. I actually think it's mean even if it's joking....that's how rumors start when people believe that they're true adn the fact that he's trying to honour God. Now I know I heard something about a cocaine addiction.....okay I did a Google....and this was in his pre-contract days....

February 16, 2006 - Michael W. Smith discusses drug addiction with Larry KingChristian pop icon Michael W. Smith appeared on CNN's Larry King Live on February 10 to discuss a drug addiction he held in his pre-record contract days, and to promote his film The Second Chance, which opens in theatres tomorrow.Smith says he fell into addiction when a support group made up of Christian friends broke apart as those friends left to go to college or graduate school. "[A]ll of a sudden I was by myself and didn't have a support group and thought I could play with the fire and not get burned, and that was not the case and I found myself in a pit and I couldn't get out," Smith said during the interview with King. He later said his drug habit almost killed him once via an overdose. King said during his introduction to the interview that Smith had written gospel songs while "high on marijuana, cocaine and other drugs."Smith says he overcame his addiction after falling into a deep depression, which he sees as an answer to his prayers, and those of his parents. Smith said during the interview that he knew that his habit would kill him if he didn't stop, and asked God to do whatever it took to get him out of it. He likened his healing to that of a terminal cancer patient who wakes up the next day with his tumor gone. Said Smith, "I woke up the next day and I haven't been the same since. That was 28 years ago." Smith says his career began to take off shortly after the incident.

Anyways, his lryics are very inspiring....one that really hits me from this last year is called Healing Rain....it's talking about healing ( go figure) and the music is amazing too, I especially love the strings! Drentch, I love their music more every time I listen to it, the lyrics, the music....very solid. It's sort of like Rock Worship I guess. I'ts not your standard worship CD. I only wish I had their second CD. There's lots of CD's that I want. Ummmm.....I also want that first Jeremy Camp CD called Stay. Someday...... I also like Third Day. People don't like the lead singer's voice and I admit after listening to them a lot it starts to bug me but I love their new song with the line...."There's light at the end of this tunnel." Just let that sit in for a minute and ponder that. Wicked awesome.

Okay here's a quick grammar tip for those of you who need some brushing up on it. You know who you are. Lol. So, remember, words like they're and you're are compact words. They are acutally two words that are shortened like....they ARE and you ARE.
So you're smart.... would be you are smart if broken down.
They're stupid... would be they are stupid if broken down.
So just remember that if you don't remember the rules for that.

Two words that sound the same though are your and their. I think these are posessive nouns or pronouns or something like htat.
Example: Your baseball bat is broken. It belongs to you. it is YOURS.
Example: Their family has 5 members. Their family has a pool.

Does that make sense??
So a little grammar lesson for those who need one....I think all of us know who that is...you know the slightly retarded one....haha. Just joking!! I would never make fun of someone's spelling if they knew I wasn't joking or if they had like, a disability or anything. I know what is mean or not.

have a good week everyone!

Until next time...
