Hobbies

I wish that I had my own personal hobby that I was good at. My mom is awesome at making jewelry. My dad is a master wood carver, there are pictures of his carvings on the link to his page called "my dad" if you are interested. I really wish that I had my own hobby that I really enjoyed, but so far I my search has always come to a dead-end. I will probably find my hobby later in my life, I hope soon. Many people say that my talent is writing, but it comes so easily to me that it couldn't possibly be my talent/hobby. But who knows, maybe it could be and I'm just too blind to realize it right know. I guess I will just have to wait and see.

Commitment

I believe that if you commit yourself to something, you have to stick with it. For example, marriage. When you marry that person you are committing yourself to that person for the rest of your life. I can't believe that there are people who would break that sacred bond because they got bored and wanted to spice things up, or they could not help themselves. When you break that vow you are braking a legal contract, your are breaking a promise made in the church, and you are CHEATING on your spouse which is horrible. I do not approve of breaking a commitment you made under only the most important of circumstances.

Cheating

There is no point in cheating. All it means is that you're too lazy to work for what you want. And also think about this, why should you get to skip ahead? What about all the other people who have to earn it? It is pathetic and unfair. It puts a bad image on yourself, your friends, and your family. Many people don't care as long as they get their instant gratification, getting what they want, when they want it. I hate those kind of people, they don't work for anything. They just cheat and lie because they don't want to work, they just want everything to fall into their lap. I can't believe that their are people like this in our world.

New cousin


I have a new cousin, his name is Silas. He was born June 25, 2008. He weighed 7 lbs. 11 ounces. That is exactly how much I weighed when I was born. I thought he would be bigger than he was, he looked so fragile. The proud parents are Leah and Stuart. I also thought that he looked adorable, probably one of the most adorable babies I've ever seen. I wished that he would have opened his eyes though. I guess he just was not used to being around so many people. My mom held him almost the entire time we were there. I held him too, but not for long because I was too afraid that I would drop him. I will post more pictures of him soon, so you can see him, too.

Belief

I believe that you should have the right to practice whatever religion you want to. Unfortunately, many people do not have that luxury. Can you imagine practicing a religion that you don't even care about? It is just a waste of time because it means absolutely nothing. And then there are people who don't believe in any religion at all. I also believe that you have the right to believe whatever you want to, God or not. Even if you believe that when you die you go to heaven or hell, or if you die and just become one with the Earth, there is nothing wrong with either. But some people don't have the same thought process as others. One example, the Muslims. They believe that if you don't follow the same religion as them then you should die. There are also many American soldiers who believe that they are fighting on God's side. I have but one question: How can God support two opposing sides? Why would he let so much blood be spilled and he does nothing about it? I also believe that everything happens for a reason, so eventually something will come out of this war.
