Real men love Jesus

They say boys will become men when men are needed. I, however, feel this is too broad. Boys who have been shown how to be men will become men when men are needed. We cannot tell someone to travel to a designated place without giving them directions. In the same way, we cannot expect boys to become men without first showing them how to be men.

How do we do this? Through strong male role models (e.g. Fathers, Pastors, Older brothers), and immersing oneself in the Bible (The Bible is, quite literally, the ultimate guide to everything). How does the Bible help in this? Men - real men - have a strong sense of character and morals. In order to have a strong sense of character and morals, God must be present. Why? Because, without God, morality becomes relative. And when morality becomes relative, to quote the Bible, "[...] every man did that which was right in his own eyes." (Judges 17:6). Now because man is fallible, his sense of morals will be fallible as well (unless they come from God).

Real men do not come solely from strong male role models. Real men use the Bible as a guide; applications of it's teachings are an everyday occurrence. Therefore, real men, the men we wish our boys to be, use the role models to show them that it does in fact have an application in the real world (much like an algebraic word problem). Tracing them back to their roots, real men come from God, because real men base their beliefs off of His word.

You know how there's always that guy who always knows how to get on your nerves? Well, I am not one of the lucky people who is blessed with the absence of such a person. Mine is worse than someone in person. Mine is on Wikipedia. For those of you unfamiliar with Wiki-etiquette, let me explain it. On Wikipedia, there are certain rules that MUST be followed when interacting with other editors. One of those rules is that you're not allowed to call other users names, make legal threats, etc. Now that you know this, you will understand my position more.

Now, this user who got my goat (whose name will remain anonymous) just indirectly broke one of those rules. Here is his direct quote, "... there's no hope in discussing this with you if you're not intelligent enough. But I forgive you." Now, what would you do in my situation? What could you do in my situation? You obviously can't retaliate with another remark. But on the other hand, you can't just do nothing, 'cuz then it looks like you're afraid of him, which you're not. Oh well, it's always the sane people who suffer. The crazy people get to say whatever they want, without thinking. But the sane people have to think about what there saying so they don't hurt anybody's feelings. Oh well, time to go take this out on my PC.

(Oh, by the way, the link to this entire discussion is right here.)

What a day

What a day I've had folks. I am beat. I was on my feet the whole day, which wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have flat feet. The highlight of my day was playing a little game of tag (with a twist, of course), with 4 other people. The twist being that every one was "it" and I was the only one not "it" and there was no "base" So, guess what I did. I burned 'em. Bad. I ducked and dodged and jumped. And they couldn't catch me. So sad, hehe.

Kung Fu Panda

Hello everybody. I just watched the official video Kung fu panda music video, and now I have to do a remake. It stunk. Royally. It did not live up to the awesomeness of the movie. Expect mine to be 10x better than a professional's (snicker).

Crazy

Well folks, I am officially crazy. I told a few people to shut up without think of the consequences. Thankfully (so far) there were none.

Madden

Hello people. RC-0722 here, just wanting to give you an update. Yes, the rumours are true, I lost the Madden tournament with a final score of 23-24. I played as the Chiefs, whilst my opponent played as the Patriots. Now, you would think that would be a lopsided game, but it was incredibly even. My QB was Brodie Croyle, who completed 12 of 21 passes with one TD and one INT. Larry Johnson rushed for 157 yards, but fumbled twice (both were lost). Tom Brady and Maroney did pretty much the same thing (only Maroney didn't have nearly as many yards as LJ). So, so guy who beat me advanced to the Semi-finals, but lost to the Titans.

My idiocy

Call me an idiot. Go ahead, do it. I deserve it. I should've know this would happen, I just should've known. You're probably wondering what I'm talking about aren't you. Well, I'll tell you. I went out about 5:00 PM or so to pitch another baseball game, think my arm was all better. Well, I was wrong. On top of all that, my team lost 2-4. Oh well, maybe next time
