What I Think About Ya'll

Making a Point

Published on April 17, 2004 By new-age nomad In Blogging

The mind is filled with millions of misconceptions about others, and I'm going to share with you what I feel about a few bloggers on here to prove the point that we don't need to cling to these thoughts, but let them go and actually get to know people and love them, because every person is worthy of love.

This isn't meant to piss anyone off, and if it does, I'm sorry. I still love all of you guys. Oh, and don't defend youself in the comment box. I've already made the point that my opinion doesn't matter, because I don't even really know you guys.

Michael (Imajint): Most of the time I'm stuck in envy of you because of all you've experienced in your short lifetime. I.E: rodeos, skydiving, military, love, learning (college/life). One time a while back, though, you left a comment on Muggaz blog that read, "In order for Muggaz to become a Christian, he would have to admit that drug use is wrong, and he's not ready to do that." Now, Michael, you're very open about your sexual relations with various women, and we all know you're not married yet. I've tried very hard not to judge you, but I think that if you choose to live your life in hypocricy, you shouldn't judge others along the way. I like you Michael. You encourage not only me, but everyone else on Joe and you embrace us without hesitancy. You love music, which is one of the most admirable traits I can think of. You're a wonderful writer, but you write so much b.s. out of your Joeuser addiction that it gets irksome for fellow bloggers to have to sort through all the junk to find something of depth. You're very endulgent, which isn't neccesarily a bad thing, but I think you take it to the extreme sometimes.

Mark (Muggaz): You are so transparent in some of your writing that I'm amazed it's even possible for someone to write that well. We all know you've been hurt in the past, and I think it's because you love completely and make yourself vulnerable. Though you think you are still able to love like that, you aren't. You have a block on your heart now, and that makes me so sad because it's such a beautiful heart. You should really give other people a chance to see it. You have a lot of fun, you love music, and you love people. I won't go into talking about your parents; it's far too personal. I actually believe you when you say the drugs are merely for enhancement, but that doesn't make it right. God may have to break your heart even more than it has been before you turn to him for that enhancement and realize that nothing is about you. You can do nothing on you own.

Macky: Ah, the hopeless romantic. I originally became entranced with you because it was obvious that you wrote for you and no one else. It was like therapy for you, and you never expected to gain a following. But you did. Now, you're loved by lots of people. Like Muggaz, you love completely and you're one of the few people that have learned that the secret to Christianity is not condemning, but loving. It's painfully obvious how much you love your current girlfriend and your past girlfriends. The truth behind your words and the transparency you practice makes your blogs pierce my heart. Your girfriend is a lucky girl.

Sarah (BigDreamer): You're searching; I like that about you. You're trying to expand your mind despite the fact that you are homeschooled and a little sheltered. You know your scripture and don't hesitate to share it with others. You also don't hesitate to share opinions and you don't seem to care how people are going to react when you used "curse words". You're another one I envy for all your talents in music and ranching and whatnot. It does get irksome for me when you constantly spout about religion and scripture as if it will change the hearts of unbelievers. Let me let you in on a little secret: they don't believe what the Bible says. Why would they care what the scripture has to say if they don't believe it in the first place? The only thing we can do really is to show them Christ's love through us.

Thomas (Cann1bal): I don't yet know you well enough to make judgements about your character, but I couldn't leave you out. You embrace ambiguity, and that's not a trait many people share. You seem to have figured out a lot of things it will take the rest of us a while to catch on to.

Nicky: I think that all of us share a bond now because you first initiated friendship to us all. You acknowledged us and wrote about us and now we all feel like a family. You recognize beauty and your blogs always bring a smile to my face.

Anne (Tangled Wishes): I got so excited about the first comment you ever left on my blog. I had been reading your stuff, and was astounded at how open you were. For me, just reading your writing was like venting. I didn't even have to do it myself. I've seen you go through changes in the small time I've been here, and I've noticed a drop in your readers. That upsets me a little because I still love you, and I can't stand people who thrive on anger. You had your anger spouts, and you will again. It's ok to be happy for a while. You're searching for answers. That's not a judgement either, you have said it. You said you don't know if you're a Christian. You're not. If you don't know, you're not. Keep searching though, you'll figure things out.

MadPoet: I'm so glad you joined us. I worry about you though. You take this a little to seriously, and while I'm glad it brings you comfort, you'll need something else to turn to when this, too, fails you...just as everything else of this world will.

Brad: I'm constantly vacilating between despising you and loving you. I think it's possible to feel both at the same time. The way you use knowledge and words is both wonderful and annoying. I think we all wish you'd just come down to earth for a little while. Show us you have a heart; life is not just about statistics and theology. Write something about your family, your wife, your heart, your soul. I'd love to know that stuff.

Ted (Suspeckted): You're the best poet on Joeuser, in my eyes. I see a love of life in you. Like the rest of us, you're just trying to figure things out, and I think you're doing a damn good job of it.

Captain Cornbread: I think you know you irritate me. I can't really say why...you're writing's just not my style. You still have a teenage mindset, and though many would beg to differ, I think I just skipped over most of those stages that teens are known for. Keep writing though, there are people here that enjoy your writing. A teenage mindset can be fun.

If I left anyone out that I normally comment on, let me know and I'll add you to the list and let you know what I think. That is, if you can take it, or if you even care.

I hope you all see my point, and I would be heartbroken if any one of you decided I'm not worth your time anymore.

Your actions have always (to me at least) indicated a sort of victim complex.

How? I didn't see it, and I don't see it. What gives you that idea - and I'm being serious, I'd really like to know?

Muggaz, I'm with you, dude. I think that you have always been there for your *friends*, even when you haven't agreed with their opinions. You've some out of your corner swinging for me more than once....

Sorry Trin,

I dont give up... Its not only you that has questioned my character... its our little buddy Dan as well... It's like i said, If it was something I did or said, you know, i would get over it... but it's a direct question to who I am.

Thanks Dharma

BAM!!!

Its easy to declare a truce when you are wrong, and you are not the one that has been insulted.

Forget about it...

BAM!!!

Sorry Guys....

I know this must be annoying for you all... trust me... If i knew Dan, i would slap him with my glove, and demand satisfaction and duel to the death... At the moment the public forum is the only way i can emphasise the way i feel about my honour being insulted... and make no mistake, because that's exactly what has happened...

I guess I place a higher value on my integrity than others place on theirs... I dont know what that means.

BAM!!!

I feel like I've been living in an abusive house... I guess everyone is too prideful to just say "I'm sorry" and forgive. I hope you guys aren't like this in real life... I'm sorry you guys are all going through this. I wish I could help. Maybe I can. Link

Shulamite, this all happened weeks ago. You're a bit behind the times.
