I find it so annoying when I telll girl so many times that she is beautiful. And still thinks she is fat and ugly and stuff. Wtc...I guess you don't believe me.
Every single girl is beautiful no matter what people say or what I say. It doesn't matter about the girl's eye color, hair color, type of hair. Your beautiful always! To God espeically you are beautiful everyday to Him, wait sorry wrong word. Not beautiful, but gorgeous to Him everyday.
Is that not enough?
I just want to hang out with my friends
But half of them don't respond to me when I try to make plans. I have only hung out with my best friend this summer, which awesome and fun! But it would be nice to hang out with my other friends. I'm not mad, just a like irritated I guess you could say.

Touch Of God by Chuck Hooten
We were broken
We were broken
And You set a straight the bones
You set a straight the bones
We were broken
We were broken
And You loved
The world is broken
The world is hopeless
And You've called us to go
You've called us to show Your love
The world is broken
The world is hopeless
But You love
You make us like You
You make us like You are
You make us like You
You make us like You are
May Your love
Go through all the world
May our hands
Bring the very touch of God
May our songs
Sing for what is right
Sing for what is life
We were so far away
With every step we cursed Your name
And You loved us
You loved us
We were so far away
With every step we cursed Your name
And You loved us
You loved us
You make us like You
You make us like You are
You make us like You
You make us like You are
May Your love
Go through all the world
May our hands
Bring the very touch of God
May our songs
Sing for what is right
Sing for what is life
May Your love
Go through all the world
May our hands
Bring the very touch of God
May our songs
Sing for what is right
Sing for what is life
For what is life!
Showed us love
And You have saved us
Showed us love
And You have raised us
Showed us love
And You have callled us children
Send us out to broken places
Send us out to hopeless faces
Send us out and gather up Your Children
I need to let somethings out;
Before I went off to staffing, I was really having a hard time. Like to the point of having suicide thoughts again and getting close to doing it. And doing staffing helped a lot. And now that I'm back I feel like I'm getting caught back into it. I don't want this to start all over again. And me go back to what was happening with me before staffing.
God I need You, I need You. Help me desire You and only You.
I honestly feel like I'm in a hole and can't get out.

The first images of Martin Freeman playing Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit have landed online
The pictures show Martin Freeman and Sir Ian McKellen, reprising his role as Gandalf, as well as a shot of director Peter Jackson and Freeman on set.
It's fair to say that in the movie world, The Hobbit and The Dark Knight Rises are battling for the title of most exciting movie in production. Could the LOTR prequel have clinched it with these latest images?
From the looks of things, Jackson is keeping the same look, tone and feel in The Hobbit as The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, and quite rightly so.
The film is shaping up to be another epic, and we can't wait for more images and production blogs from Jackson.
The Hobbit is currently filming in New Zealand and will be split into a 2-part saga. The first film, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is set for a December 2012 release
http://www.totalfilm.com/news/first-official-images-of-bilbo-baggins-in-the-hobbit-arrive
We have our first-look at Robin from Batman: Arkham City, courtesy of retailer Best Buy, which published the image of the Boy Wonder
Robin will be an exclusive pre-order character to play in the game's challenge maps through Best Buy and other select retailers. It's unclear as of now if Robin will be offered at a later time.
The Best Buy listing reads:
While supplies last, pre-order the game for an exclusive downloadable Robin character. Robin is a fully playable character in the new and improved challenge mode in Batman: Arkham City. The Tim Drake Robin pack is available exclusively to fans who pre-order the game from Best Buy on Xbox 360, PC and PS3.http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/117/1177297p1.html
Robin comes complete with his own unique gadgets and special moves, and will be playable in all challenge maps in the game, as well as two additional challenge maps that are included with the pack: Black Mask Hideout and Freight Train Escape.
The pack will also contain a bonus Red Robin character skin.
This week was awesome! Can't explain of how great it was. Got to know some people from church better during staffing. It was awesome!

Skillet's Drummer Jen Ledger The best girl drummer!
I was acutally at this concert. It was at Liberty University, it was 12-31-09 and they brought the new year in. It was the best experience ever!
3:10 to Yuma Director Taking on The Wolverine?
Mangold looks to be Aronofsky's replacment
It looks like the new director for The Wolverine has been found. Deadline is reporting that both 20th Century Fox and Hugh Jackman have decided they want James Mangold to direct the film and that negotiations are about to get underway to secure Mangold's deal.
Deadline says production on the Japan-set The Wolverine, which was delayed after Darren Aronofsky departed the project, will likely begin this fall. Mangold apparently beat out the final short list for the Wolverine gig, which included Gavin O'Connor (Warrior) and Antoine Fuqua (Training Day).
Mangold's rather eclectic career includes Cop Land, Girl, Interrupted, Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma and Knight and Day. Amusingly, this will be his second film with Hugh Jackman, after the less than fanboy friendly Kate & Leopold, which also starred Jackman's X-Men Origins: Wolverine costar Liev Schreiber.
Schreiber is not expected to return for the Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects) penned The Wolverine, which is said to be a very standalone film, inspired by the iconic 1980s Wolverine comic book limited series, by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller, which took the X-Man to Japan for the first of many adventures.

I Trust You by Skillet
Learning again that I am not my own
Crawling back to where I belong
Caught in between knowing You and trusting me
Come on take a ride out of the in betweens
Now I know I need You
When I can't see, I will trust You
And when I get weak, I trust You
And when I just can't let it go
I trust that You are in control
Shelter me so I can find some peace
Grabbing hold of You is letting go of me
It's easy when I remember I possess all that lays beyond my grasp
Your power commands the weight off my back
Now I know I need You
Now I know I trust You
Say It Loud by Skillet
Can't help but speak of what I've seen and heard
I understand just what the purpose is
Uncover peace; uncover hope for all to see
And I can't keep quiet, gotta shout it out to You
Gotta say it loud
Gotta say it loud
Gotta say it loud
Gotta shout it out
Come right away to find the Joy I've found
Don't hesitate to give up everything
Discover Peace; discover Hope, meaning of Life
I've got to say it, gotta shout it out to You
Can't keep it, keep it all to myself
Can't hold it, can't hold it down
Can't shut it, can't shut it out
Can't keep me silent

The LORD OF THE RINGS relation to Christianity
Tolkien's epic rich with
Christian symbols, ideals
Commentary by Paul Tuns
The symbolism is deep and rich. Aragorn is the king, returning to his throne after assuming the unlikely disguise of a ranger, is clearly a Christ-figure. But, then, so is the wizard Gandalf. There is a scene in the book, whitewashed in the movie, in which Gandalf dies after fighting a Balrog, a horrible demon. The fight in which Gandalf perishes, requires his death in order to save the rest of the fellowship - much like Jesus' sacrifice saves all of us. Gandalf the Grey dies, but rises three days later and now, as Gandalf the White, is more powerful than ever.
There is also the invocation of the name of the unseen elf Elbereth in the time of battle or pain, reminiscent of the Catholic tradition of invoking saints for particular purposes.
Another important, but often missed symbolism of LOTR (virtually ignored in the movie) is that of lembas.
As Birzer notes, lembas is the "life-bread" that the elf Galadriel gives to the Fellowship for their journey. This bread sustains the heroes throughout their separate journeys. As Tolkien writes, this bread "had a potency that increased as travellers relied on it alone and did not mingle it with other foods. It fed the will, and it gave strength to endure..." Clearly, as Tolkien admitted in a letter, lembas is "a derivation from the Eucharist." (It is to the discredit of the movies that there is just a mere mention of the lembas without an exploration of its significance.)
The most important symbol is the Ring, which represents "the weight of sin and temptation." As in our own lives, overcoming these temptations during the journey is what what saves or ruins the characters of the LOTR.
Tolkien created Middle Earth as a tribute to God. Not wanting to insult God and fiddle with His creation, Tolkien made a sub-creation. And in Middle Earth, Tolkien created a richly developed land. As Professor Ralph C. Wood has noted, "The Lord of the Rings is a massive epic fantasy of more than half a million words. It is also a hugely complex work, having its own complicated chronology, cosmogony, geography, nomenclature, and multiple languages."
Tolkien created a world, much like ours, and although pre-Christian, it dramatizes Christian reality. There is the fight between good and evil, there is the struggle against pride and the desire for power, there is death and resurrection and salvation (the second movie The Two Towers, is especially good at examining the idea of salvation, mercy and redemption through the story of Frodo, Samwise Gamgee and Gollum). Throughout LOTR there is the idea of providence - the sense that accidental things happen which are not really accidents but part of a larger plan. It is noted by Gandalf that it was intended by a higher power that the Ring came into the hands of two hobbits, Bilbo in The Hobbit and Frodo in LOTR.
Hobbits, small creatures that mind their own business and seldom venture away from their own homes in The Shire, are unlikely heroes. Aragorn is a king seeking to return to his throne and displays manly virtue and great strength. Gandalf is a wise and powerful wizard. The elves are skilled bowmen and smart. Even the dwarves are powerful and industrious. But hobbits are short, unworldly and unadventurous. They symbolize the common man.
But the common man is capable of great acts of heroism. As Leon J. Podles noted in Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity, heroism as depicted in Tolkien shares "key aspects with Christ's heroic mission: bravery, pity, mercy, love, self-sacrifice and suffering." All Christians are called to live up to these examples of Jesus knowing that we will fall short.
The heroes continue in their epic journey, sometimes as a unified Fellowship but even when they are torn apart, because they realize they have no choice to do good.
While many readers consider the heroes to be Frodo, Aragorn and/or Gandalf, Birzer notes the under-appreciated heroism of Samwise Gamgee. Sam, as he is usually called, "has one great virtue, and it proves to be the virtue that sanctifies his character: loyalty." Loyalty to his friend Frodo, the fellowship and their mission of returning the Ring to the fires of Mount Doom.
Sam, Birzer notes, "demonstrates his love for and obedience to Frodo throughout the story," taking the task at hand (saving Middle Earth from evil) even though he would rather spend time in his home in The Shire and to his home and garden. But it is not to be; God has a different plan for him, which he obediently accepts. "as all good men do." When Frodo seems unable to continue, or tempted to succumb to the lure of the Ring, Sam helps his friend do what is right.
Near the end of the second movie, Sam says to Frodo, "There are things that people hold onto to keep them going." "What are we holding onto?" Frodo asks. To which Sam replies, "That there is some good in this world, and that's worth fighting for."
That is the central message of LOTR, the subtle Christianity that the movie is allowed to portray. We would do well to remember this in our own lives.
There is also the invocation of the name of the unseen elf Elbereth in the time of battle or pain, reminiscent of the Catholic tradition of invoking saints for particular purposes.

So
I have been having these repeating dream lately. And they have been about me and this person (that I use to really good friends and I ended our friendship) being good friends or being good friends again. And like some of them were convicting me. So I told my best friend about this. And he said that this maybe God trying to tell me something.
So now I made a bad decision or wrong decision. I thought maybe ending the friendship would help me, but honestly it has made worse. I thought it would let me starting growing, and blaming her saying it was her of why I wasn't maturing Christ because of her. Yeah, I was totally wrong. It was me. It's so stupid how us people blame others.
I want to make things right. I'm idiot for what I did. Honestly, I need her, but I don't deserve a 2nd chance. I don't know if she will even let me talk to her. I want to. If things don't work out. Then that's what I get for doing what I did.
Lord help me work this out
One Real Thing by Skillet
Speak, and my heart starts aching
Reach, and the numbness dims
Beat, still my minds uncertain
Breathe, it begins again
You are the One Real Thing
You are the One True Thing that I know
You are the One Real Thing
No matter what the future brings
You're the One Real Thing
Stay, locked within Your presence
Truth, renew in my mind again
Rest, cuz I know You're faithful and I
Trust, cuz I know Your name
You are the One Real Thing
You are the One True Thing that I know
You are the One Real Thing
No matter what the future brings
You're the One Real Thing
I get down on my knees and I
Feel Your love wash over me (One Real Thing) [4x]
Speak, and my heart starts aching
Reach, and the numbness dims
Beat, still my minds uncertain
Breathe, it begins again, again...
You are the One Real Thing
You are the One True Thing that I know
You are the One Real Thing
You are the One True Thing that I know
You are the One Real Thing
No matter what the future brings
You're the One Real Thing

Feel Your love wash over me (One Real Thing)
You Are My Hope by Skillet
Times are hard
Times have changed
Don't you say
But I keep holding on to You
It's hard to keep the faith alive day to day
Leaning on the strength I've found in You
You're the hope of all the Earth
You are my hope
You are my strength
You're everything
Everything I need
You are my hope
You are my life
You are my hope
You are my hope
Far beyond what I can see or comprehend
Etching Your eternity in me
Nations stream and angels sing, "Jesus reigns"
And every knee bows down
You're the hope of all the Earth
You are my hope
You are my strength
You're everything
Everything I need
You are my hope
You are my life
You are my hope
You are my hope
Carry on and I sing of how
You love and I love You now
All the times that I start to sink
You come and You rescue me
You are my hope
You are my hope
"If we really believe that love is the answer, then let’s start loving people and see what God can do in our country, what God can do in our world." -John Cooper (Skillet)
I have to admit;
X-Men: First Class is a really good movie. The Thor movie was so freaking awesome. I would give it 9.5 out of 10. The Thor movie was so accurate with the comics, it was amazing!

Batman's New Wayne Manor
The latest location buzz for The Dark Knight Rises
Bruce Wayne has reportedly found himself a new stately Wayne Manor for The Dark Knight Rises.
Hollywood Chicago and Batman-on-Film report that Osterley Park, a late 18th century country estate in London, has been chosen to double as Wayne's home, which has been reconstructed since being destroyed in a fire at the end of Batman Begins.
Its official site says: "This summer we are taking the rare step to close Osterley House to the public for 4 days, on 15, 16, 17 and 22 June for private hire. In addition, we are closing some rooms of the house on a phased basis from 19 May to 3 July."
- NTPL/Bill Batten
As Hollywood Chicago reports, "Osterley Park is the inside of Wayne Manor for The Dark Knight Rises. Three rooms will be used: the dining room, the study and a third room we don't currently know. It was mentioned the study has a secret exit that will lead to the Batcave. We are guaranteed a sighting of Alfred (Michael Caine), Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) and I think Selina Kyle/Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) as she's likely to be having dinner with Bruce."
In related news, Batman-News cites a tweet from Mayor Cory Booker wherein he said he'd met with the production team behind The Dark Knight Rises who said they want to shoot scenes in Newark, New Jersey, most likely this fall.
Finally, Highland News reports that TDKR will shoot scenes at Inverness Airport in Scotland in the next few weeks. Their source claims the airport will be used "to shoot various aerial scenes."
