Evan's Soapbox
So Tuesday was election day. I've decided that Americans are stupid, Arabs are deranged, Russians are crazy, Chinese are evil, Europeans are supine and bovine-ish, Canadians are clueless (and obsessed with gliding senselessly about on their little ice ponds) , Latin Americans are in love with revolutions, I can't think of how to talk about Africa in PG language and the Aussies, well the Aussies are pretty cool actually(somebody dig up some dirt on Australia for me will ya), but still the point is: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!! The results (for the most part) were no big surprise, Dems taking the house was widely anticipated, but Pelosi becoming Speaker of the House was a pretty serious jolt, expected or not. Now I'm no more a fan of a Democrat house then I am a fan of Pelosi, but frankly these pathetic Republicans in Congress deserve it! They had their chance to make a difference but they were to cowardly to move, they just sat R E A L still and tried not to breathe. Maybe this will be an eye opener for 'em, but I doubt it. As Mrs. Reese once so eloquently said "Folks! Can you not see that we're goin' to HELL in A HANDBASKET?!!!?!!!?" but no, they can't, this society is blinded by lust and greed, nothing can any longer penetrate their fat laden brains. I don't expect that there will be a reviving of this country until it is in shambles, until terrorists have wrecked its entire infrastructure, it won't happen unless God speaks in a huge way, I pray He will, because I love this country, but we don't have much left to be proud of. The whole world is stupid. Ok yeah, this post wasn't supposed to be a pontification on the world's ruin and imminent demise, but yeah..... moving on.
Monday Logan and I did extensive calling for Joe English, it was fun times. Logan and I alone with many phones and lots of time, yeah it was great. We did various voices and had some pretty exciting phone calls. Person: "We got a call three weeks ago" Me: "Oh yeah?" Person: "You're just too late." Me:"To late?" Person: "You're too late" Me: "O K AAA Y" Person:"ITS OVER WHITE BOY!!!!!!!" (Boisterous Laughter) or "FORGET ABOUT IT!!" Joe won.
Crazy times on Wednesday. Much speaking of "Fiscal" Conservatives in Poli Sci class, comiserations with Bric, free and open discussion (and disagreement) with Jonathan, then boring lecture about computer use in the library, then PiZZa! and Kerron and Katie and Katie's fridge and MY PiZZa! and then helping Katie begin writing a paper diametrically opposite to mine, then PiZZa REtrieval!, then eating of cold PiZZa! and running, then going to Jordan's dorm and heated up PiZZa! then Church, then tired, then broken by the loss of my oh so beautimous notebook that I have written many, MANY words in, although I've only had it for less then a month, then disinterestedly watching small people eat my PiZZa! then slumber. My hair was really funky on Wednesday, like spiked in the middle, it was like that when I woke up, and I couldn't do nothin about it.
Today, SAT study and other words and phrases and actions and meanings and eatings of food and other sustaining articles (chocolate isn't really FOOD per se, but it is per se sustaining!). Tonight I completed my physical fitness merit badge schedule and I am imensely proud of myself. Tonight I ran the mile in 5min55sec, did 54 sit ups in a minute and 41 push ups in a minute, I am incredibly pleased about all of those things, although I thought there for a few minutes that I'd broken my wind in that mile run, but I was fine. Life goes its merry way now, and so do I,

WHAT....HAPPENED!!?!???? *gasp* Now were back to the whole world is crap stuff again.
Evan do really honestly think that everyone on this earth is a moronic idiot and we are so lost that God might as well send down a colossal lightning bolt and zap us all out of existence????
HAS LIFE LOST ALL IT'S BEAUTY? We are surely in desperate straights if we cannot see even a sunrise or a little child sleeping quietly and not see just a little bit of Eden.
To wake up and say "this world is nothing more than evil and mediocrity" is to look at God and stick your tongue out at him!!!!! Don't you have any faith anymore??? Can't you look past imperfect humans and see the glory of the cross!
You're wrong. We are headed for a place more wonderful than anything anyone could ever dream up!!!!!! We're headed to heaven! Yes this world will come to pass, but we are NOT of this world!!!!
You sit back, spouting off about how the world is stupid, say you hope GOD steps in, but you don't expect him to.....
You know what, I just don't know.

wow
2 Corinthians 4: 8-9; 16-18 (NLT)
"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed....."
"That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.
For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!
So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever."
Psalm 37:3-5; 7 (NIV)
"Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture."
"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this...."
"Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes."
