The blog that started it all...

I started this blog nearly 3 years ago...

Here's a link to that post.

I'm going to go ahead and cut and paste the blog too...

I have a blog!

I have decided to create a blog. Too much has been making me mad lately and I just need somewhere to go with it, so enjoy! This is the day after Christmas now, and I am just randomly staying up all night..woohoo. Since this is my first post... I am going to share with you some random things.
*Yesterday I went to the Pistons/Pacers game. It was a good game, too bad the Pacers lost. That makes me sad. It was a pretty emotionally charged game. There was a guy sitting a few rows in front of us wearing a shirt saying "The world needs Jesus, We have Jesus, so let's show Jesus to the world." Let me tell you about how he "showed Jesus to the world." He was a Pistons fan, and he trashed talked the whole entire game. Somebody in the crowd yelled "hey, Jesus wants you to shut up!" What a great witness that was, huh? That really drives me nuts! Grrrr! Out of our whole entire section, the guy wearing the Jesus shirt was the biggest trash talker. Wow! and some Christians wonder why people hate Christianity!
*I was bored last night, so I decided to go make some noise in a Christian chat room. Sometimes that is really fun to do. We had some interesting conversations. Much debating was going on. I am going to share with you one funny comment a girl made. I asked what everybody thought about cussing, and it seemed like the main theme that came out of it was that God wants us to build people up and not tear them down and cuss words tear people down. So I asked if I think something is really cool can I say "that's the shit" because in essence I am not tearing anything down. Here is the kicker: this girl replies with "no, but you can say crap." I then come back with "so can I say you are full of crap"? because to me that sounds worse. She didnt seem to think that was wrong because I wasnt using an actual "cuss word." Another guy told me that the only reason why I cuss is because I am imitating what my parents did when I was younger. The funny thing is I have never ever heard either of my parents cuss. I didn't even know any cuss words until I started going to a public school in 4th grade, so that was a funny comment to make. Another guy said I wouldn't cuss if I had self-control. I NEVER CUSS!!! It is not even in my vocabulary! I get made fun of when I cuss because I sound funny. Apparently I sound too happy. Instead of giving me their input on cussing, it became a "lets cleanse rose of her obvious cussing sin." It was definitely a room full of fundies..haha!

That is about all I have to say for my first post..if anybody does read this, I hope you enjoy!


Wow, things have changed. For one thing, I went to a Pacers game on Christmas...and I was sad about them losing. Now, I care nothing about the Pacers. I went from being a season ticket holder to caring nothing. That's kind of sad. That was fun times. They just don't get the point and won't get of Jamaal Tinsley.

Now, what about the guy that made me mad at the Pacers game in his Jesus shirt? I still hate it that Christianity seems to be more about hypocrisy sometimes. It used to be that I would talk about that stuff on this blog, but I got tired of it. I don't know why...but I did. Maybe I just decided to be done with complaining about "Christianity as it is" as I was busy Blue Like Jazz and A New Kind of Christian and all the other books that Brian Mclaren wrote. I don't know...

There used to be a bunch of debating on this blog...not by me...but by the people that commented. That's right...in the glory days of this blog...people actually COMMENTED! Now, I don't really write anything of interest. Maybe because I can't really think of anything to write. Instead, I just tell you about my boring life. Who really wants to hear about Andy and I checking out silly Christmas lights in the park. wooo...yep. That's how exciting I am. I mean I go climbing, but do you really want to here how excited I am when I take a little more of chance and get a little better of a lead head? Probably not.

One other funny thing in that blog is when I said I never cuss. That used to be true...3 years ago. Haha... Not so much anymore. I mean...I wouldn't say I cuss like a sailor...but I'm a bit more comfortable with cussing...and I probably don't look so funny and happy anymore when I do it. Well, maybe I do...

In other boring news...
Andy and I put a live Christmas tree up. I haven't had a Christmas tree...since uh...I don't know...I went to college... so it's kind of cool. We have stockings hung up on the fireplace mantle...Chili Dog even has one. It's kind of cheesy and I like it.

I won a trophy yesterday... ;) For winning second place in my age group in a 5k. :) Pretty cool. I've never won a trophy for placing in my age group. I mean, I was pretty pumped when I won a medal for placing in my age group at the freedom festival 5k. :) I think I have a picture of that...


Man...that was a fun race. Well, maybe not so much the race. I seem to remember no mile markers... There was a cool festival though, and a free stuff tent. (that's where we got the cool sunglasses) Good times. I miss those times.

I'm thinking I should kill this blog. Maybe I won't...
