It has been a While...

I haven't posted in quite a while...but there has been a reason...most of my posts would be very depressing. You might say, "WHAT?!?!" or, "I knew it!" But whatever you say, it really doesn't matter, and here is why, God has taught me so much in the last 2 weeks. School, or should I say college, has finished up this last week, and you might think that would make me happy...but for me, this may have marked one of my biggest failures. This is probably my biggest failure because it is my first major failure (in school at least) and it was very hard to get over...mostly because it wasn't my fault. I know, I know, you've heard that a million times before...and here is why this isn't one of those times...In my last post I complained about Rent and because I did not watch the movie I had to take a hit on final papers because, "I could not fulfill the requirements of the assigned task."

But you know...its OK; it took a bit of convincing from some friends, but they finally got it though my thick head. This is kinda short, but there is so much more...and it is like 1:15 right now...so I guess this is good night or good morning or good afternoon...whenever you read this.

It could have been worse...

Well today was not a BAD day...it wasn't all that of a good day. We have been watching Rent for the last class and today, and I have a major problem with it and I only watch 50 min of it! I know, there may be some of you people who REALLY LOVE the production, but, I do not...now I do not hate ALL of it...only parts of it. What I DO like: 1) the music, it is awesome, from what I saw of it the guitar playing and other instruments were awesome together...unfortunately that's all I have to say on that side of things...here's what I did NOT like about it: 1) it was lewd, the HUGELY emphasized sexual themes and nudity were all very much uncalled for; 2) the almost glorification of drug use and reference needed not be there; and lastly (there is more but it is included by these main themes) 3) the production is mainly about community love...but really the whole thing is about lust, plain and simple...whether it was lust from Roger (HIV possitive musician) towards Mimi (HIV positive exotic dancer), or one girl for another in the case of the lesbians Maureen (bisexual performance artist) and Joanne Jefferson (a lawyer and lesbian), or one guy for another in the case of Angel (a gay drag queen percussionist with AIDS) and Tom (a gay philosophy professor and anarchist with AIDS). So yeah...this goes against pretty much everything I believe and don't think it was worth watching 50 min. of it at all...
