The Last Song & Nicholas Sparks

I finished this both maybe a month ago. This book is an amazing book. Nicholas Sparks has definitely proved me wrong. That men can actually feel something. This is definitely his vocation at life and is such a brilliant man/author. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a romantic/heart-filled/bitter-sweet novel. I wish that this was a sequel but, unfortunately it isn't. His books, are absolutely incredible. He has to be on the Top ten authors of all time, next to Shakespeare.
This book is just a book that will not allow you to put it down. I know for a fact that some men do cry when reading these books and watching the movies that resemble the books. Basically what I'm getting at is :READ NICHOLAS SPARKS' BOOKS IN GENERAL!

Books

Odd topic, but when i say books i dont mean books in general. I mean I want to write books, I like the idea of writing and I think that this new inspiration i got today -well technically, yesterday- was just incredible. I absolutely am up for the challenge. Especially since its from a boys perspective. I really hope I can finally, complete a book for once. Well I already have the summary for it:


"Tyler's been having dreams, and doesn't know what it means. He is content with his life, and doesn't think anything can change. He discovers uncertain qualities of himself the he never encountered. It takes one day for him to realize an important message. He just doesn't understand the concept. Will he change himself in order to save more than just his life?"

I really want your opinions. Thanks.

Luke 9:22-27 [King James Version]

"Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God."

Materialistic items have us brainwashed, thinking we need them. Basically, this reading means that if we were asked to give up our materialistic items in trade for Heaven, would you give your items away? Well, would you? Honestly, if you were asked this question what would you do? It's so easy to say 'I'll give them up.' but, in the actual situation, would you?

Charlemagne was the King of the Franks, and the ruler of Northern Europe. He was a great example of a follower of Christ and a servant leader. His main goal was for a common experience for ALL Christians. Charlemagne declared Latin to be the official language of the mass. Although it is still the official language, it is not used as frequently in other countries such as the Rome. You see after he died things became, lets just say "difficult". But before he died, many citizens knew him as a man who catered to the crippled and the poor. In A.D. 768, He built a beautiful Cathedral at Aachen -which is now present-day Germany-, where he is now buried. After he died in A.D. 814, his empire was divided among weak kings. This began the beginning of the conflict between kings and Popes. This has lasted for centuries.

In circulation with this, civil laws and public authority SHOULD promote virtue, equality, justice, freedom, and the common good within the moral order that was established by God.

Finally, I wanted to inform you that the reason I wrote this blog was basically because, well, I've noticed in many people -including myself- that a majority of us have been separating from God. And when this happens, I believe that's when the Devil's work starts to appear. And this I dislike very much. I really hope that this touches closely to your heart and it'll be a wake-up call to many people.

P.S. HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY!

P.P.S. PRAY FOR MY FRIEND HIS GRANDMA JUST PASSED. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.

Volleyball

Unfortunately, tomorrow withholds our sad day: officially volleyball season is over. Well, today and tomorrow we have a tournament at Incarnate Word High School. We lost the two games. Which we had! I was kind of upset during the game because I dove for the ball and hurt my wrist. It's been a couple of hours since then, and it's still swollen. I hope it is not a blood clot but, well we'll see. Tomorrow is awaiting for me. Must be there at 8:30 AM Game is scheduled for 9AM. Please, just hope that the SJB Mighty eagles win.

Bad Connection.

Once again school is boring. Hmph. But I read like forty pages of a book today. Not including SSR[self-selected reading]. But yeah. This "new" book [well not so new because I bought it last year] it is called Bad Connection//the secret life of Samantha McGregor by Melody Carlson. Well anyways here's the back description:

'Samantha McGregor knows that Kayla Henderson likes to break the rules, considers partying an "extracurricular" activity, and can't stand her parents. Fine. That's Kayla's thing. Samantha's not even surprised when Kayla goes missing. Hadn't she been saying she was going to take off, to go meet her online "boyfriend" in person? It might not be the smartest move in the world, but Kayla would be okay. She always was.

Then the vision comes...and reveals that Kayla is far from okay. Samantha freaks. Was her vision from God or just imagined? If Kayla's really in danger, what can Samantha do? Only one person can help her: Detective Ebony Hamilton, her father's former colleague.

Now this unlikely pair must work against the clock-and the system-to patch together the truth and find Kayla...before it's too late."


IF GOD GAVE YOU A VISION, WOULD YOU TRUST IT?


Now doesn't that sound intriguing? It does to me! Oh my goodness, this book is definitely sci-fi all the way. And that is very odd for me to like sci-fi I usually read the more unusual stuff [ suicide, drugs, death, anorexia, romance, ext.].

I will guarantee you if the description does not enlighten you about wanting to know what happen to Samantha or Kayla then excuse my impudent language but your really stupid. Just kidding but, seriously this book is such a page-turner/.

Just Ranting.

Okay this is just a rant. For no reason in particular. That's Random Me for you.
Without screwing up on anything is impossible. Who said Vandgo never messed up a now forty million dollar painting? Doing something is impossible to anyone living on earth. God is the only one who contains perfection. I'm not solipsistic, at times I may be but not 24/7. This must be so freaking hard to actually try to do something nice for someone and they don't appreciate a hundredth of the gift. This sucks. If "they" would've just appreciated something nice I wouldn't be so mad.That's the end of the 1st topic.

Next Topic.
People always trying to change themselves and others. Honestly I think they overwrought a bit about their weight, the person's personality, excreta excreta. What is it with our generation..I know I know that sounds kinda odd coming from a soon to be eighth grader..who cares maybe I act more mature than my actual age. It's just if we always think about ourselves as too skinny or too fat.I mean honestly who cares!? Especially makeup! OH MY GOSH... dreading the days I see girls my age and women who are maybe around the age of thirty still young and beautiful..wearing tons of gallons of makeup. A little bit of makeup is okay but tons of it is gross. Like this girl in the picture, yuck!
Okay well especially women shouldn't wear too much makeup it's disgusting for one. For two, it's just hiding your true beauty. Back to weight. If you honestly think that your ugly because of your stomach or maybe you have a double chin, cellulite, or big thighs, it doesn't matter. Your great personality will make you more beautiful than ever seen before. It's not about if you have more than enough on your body,it's okay. Alot of people know the feeling. I know I do. I mean it doesn't bother me anymore it's okay if you want to lose weight because you want to feel more confident but, if it's just to impress some one, I honestly would tell you it's not even worth it. If you want to be healthier go ahead I encourage you. Just do it for the right reason not for the wrongs. I finally figured that out today or..? Technically Yesterday. When I wore a bikini when I thought I looked terrible in everyone [friends and family] said that it looked good on me. I believed them. Then finally I wasn't covering my stomach. It hit me I'm not going to let my stomach get in the way of my happiness.
Here's a plus size model. She doesn't look ashamed of her body..and in my Pov. She doesn't even look like a Plus Size Model.


And for the next model and none offense intended to her but this is what a lot of people want to look like? Honestly? I mean I wouldn't even want to look similar to that. Bulimia and Anorexia are not a good thing to flaunt in my book. If you like that then be my guest look for someone like this model.
