Thoughtful Monday

Thoughts for you to think upon

I have been thinking about stuff lately and thought I would share some of the thoughts with you. In the famous words of Ron Burgundy… “I wanna say something. I'm gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don't, send it right back.”

- I really respect someone if they are truly passionate about something that they do. Teachers for example. I am horrible at art and I don’t really like doing it, but I respect my Professor because he is cares so much about what he does that it makes me want to at least try on the projects.

- I don’t consider myself cool, in the social sense of the word, meaning I don’t really see myself as trendy, cool, or fashionable. Except for the brief 2 year experience where I thought I was the coolest thing on my High School campus. I don’t really care what other people think about what I wear, how I act, or who I hang out with. Why should anyone care? Maybe that is what makes me cool in the Dave sense of the word.

- Ironman would rock any other superhero, hands down. This one is not up for discussion unless we talk face to face.

- People who treat other people badly are really people who love to hear themselves talk and have the attention on them, so when they treat others like crap they are only doing it because they have nothing to say and are trying to get the awkwardness off of them and onto another person.

- Why does everyone go to college and all of the sudden become “enlightened”. In other words become a Liberal. I think there are a lot of Conservatives or Moderate Conservatives out there that are just too afraid to stand up for what they believe in because Liberals make every debate into an argument and try to push Christian ideals out of their reasoning. Like it or not guys, our country was founded on Christian beliefs as well as morals. Do not be afraid of what you believe in.

- “At the core of every cynic is a romantic who has been hurt one time or another.” Thanks Lisa Simmons.

- I am really glad that God blessed me with a group of friends this year.

- I have not read a required textbook since 11th grade.

- I believe in laughing a lot. I laugh at just about everything and I firmly believe in the statement that “If you can’t laugh at yourself, what can you laugh at?” If people make fun of you, beat them to the punch, make fun of yourself first so they have no ammo, then they look stupid. Try it.

- I have a hard time trusting people who talk about other people behind their back. Like I said before, if they talk about others behind their back, they probably talk about you too. When I say I’ll keep a secret, I keep it. Unless you killed someone, then I have to tell someone so don’t tell me if you murdered someone cuz I’ll sing like a songbird.

- I’m happy with my body and will never change it to fit in.

- Judging people for what they do is not a Christian attitude, and I cannot stand when people judge me and other people for how they dress, act, talk, etc. I’m not saying I don’t judge from time to time because I do occasionally, but I do not treat people differently because of it. I just cannot stand people treating others differently based on the things they do in their spare time, who they hang out with, or what church they do or don’t go to. That’s their business and no one else’s. Why not try relating to that person…you’ll get a lot further if you do.

- One final thought…If you insist on sharing your opinion with everyone…first think about if they really care or want to hear it in the first place. I have had countless opinions shoved down my throat and I’m getting sick of hearing why I am wrong and why they are right. What would happen if everyone just didn’t share their opinion for a day.
