2012

I just saw the 2012 movie again...it made me realize how stupid this all is. Yeah, people are going to freak out when 12-21-12 comes around, but hey, I'm going to Heaven, so if anything happens that might exterminate the human race, then I'm set...

Haha...yeah a short post

Into the West: best soundtrack song ever

Hey I just wanted to share with you this song from the soundtrack to The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It's called Into the West. It's sung by the amazing Annie Lennox.

Here's the video:


Here's the lyrics:
"Into The West"

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

[Chorus]
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass

Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say: «We have come now to the end»
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again

And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

[Chorus]

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

*END*

I absolutely love this song...I am doing "Music, Movies, and Other Pop Culture Artifacts", a.k.a MMOPCA, in Mr. Mosely's Bible class this friday. MMOPCA is where we usually listen to a couple songs and then discuss what worldview is shown in the song. I'm using this song for the upcoming Friday. I have thought about it for a while and I believe that it is a Christian worldview. All I can picture is God comforting someone who just lost a loved one. He is telling them that it's all going to be ok...because when He calls them home too, He will be waiting for them with open arms. At least, this is what I believe it is saying. J.R.R. Tolkien was after all a Christian. Some of these lyrics come directly from the last chapter in The Return of the King.

I hope you enjoy this song, Internet!

The Musical and other things

Well, I've told you about how I'm doing a musical this year right? Well, it's caused me to not do track this year. I'm sort of regretting it, but then again, I am really excited about doing this musical.

I sent an email to the track coach asking him about certain things that I could do this year to still be involved in track but without being on the team. My idea was to come to as many practices as I can to be an assistant/unofficial coach for the throwers since that is what I do on the track team. I figured that I could be there to help the throwers with their techniques and in the process, work on my throwing for next year. I basically just told him what I wanted, and if he says no, then I will just have to find my own time to practice with the discus and shotput for my senior year.

Well I guess that's all for now. I will post sometime later...I don't know when

That time in your life where you are making decisions about your future that's too complicated to put into 2 simple words for this title

I've really been stressed out about the upcoming graduation. Rachel will be leaving us for Cedarville to pursue her career in musical education. Elizabeth is well on her way to becoming an English or History professor at some prestigious school. Then, there's me. I feel like God is telling me that I need to do something to do with kids. I love doing puppets, so maybe I can do that for kids at a church. I don't know. There's so many possibilities.

Lately I made the decision to not date until I am absolutely looking for someone to marry. I've only ever had 2 girlfriends, but I feel like God is telling me to avoid all the unnecessary drama that comes with highschool and dating . Oh well, that's high school for you.

Onward towards March 30th when I get to go to England and see my beloved sister! I will keep you guys updated as we decide what we want to do over there.

New Name

I changed the name of this blog to The Pensieve. It seems more fitting for me. If you know me then you would understand. Haha I am a total Harry Potter nerd. I know the answers to some questions in the books that the average person would not know. Anyways, for you undeducated people, the pensieve is a bowl-like contraption where wizards and witches can actually pull memories out of their minds with their wands and place them in vials. They take the vials and pour the memory into the pensieve if they would like to relive the memory. It pretty much is a filing cabinet for your memories. Pretty sweet huh? Credit for the name idea goes to that one person. You know who you are!

Funny American Idol Audition

Ok guys, just a quick post.

I was watching American Idol tonight and I thought about some old auditions and I found this one and thought it was really funny! Enjoy!

Why?

Wouldn't you agree that we, as humans, make pretty dumb choices in our lives? Matt Wilson came and spoke in chapel on yesterday. He mentioned about how he had a tough time respecting his coach. I said to myself, well, I don't like the basketball coach that is here now and I don't play basketball so I'm excused from that...I can disrespect him if I want to. WRONG!

Just because I may not have liked him when he coached in track and maybe I don't like him now, but I still need to respect him. He is my elder and the Bible tells us that we need to respect our elders. This is something that I've been struggling with for a long time. Especially in the past year with the whole Obama thing.

I really have been talking down about Obama to my friends and family and I am wrong to do that. I need to pray for and support my leaders. I can disagree with him, but that does not give me the right to go around badmouthing him. He's the President of the United States of America for goodness sake! *sigh* God, you know how dumb I am. Heck, you probably sit up there on your big white throne and laugh your head off at some things that I do. Oh well. At least I know that I will be forgiven for everything that I do wrong if I just ask it of you! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!! Thank you God!
