Joy and Giving

I have been blogging about a lot of emotions. Well this is the one I think everyone likes. Joy is an emotion that you love every time you come across it. What does everybody want to do when their working or at school? They want to quit and experience joy. For example, sometimes,(well all the time), I sit in class and am wanting to be at a movie or a my house doing something joyful. There are two main factors in joy: Giving and Recieving. Recieving joy is awesome everybody loves recieving joy. I have never met a person in my life,(except a few emo kids), that never said that they dont want to have fun. Recieving joy is like Christmas morning when you were five. There is no other experience like it. Recieving joy is what everyone on earth wants to do. A person that gives me joy is my English teacher, Mrs. Chapman. She is my favorite teacher and her class is the best out of all of the classes. The Georgia Bulldogs also give me joy. Their playing and bulldog spirit gives me happy feelings. Another great person that gives me joy is Jesus Christ. He died for me and I will always believe in him. If you don't believe that he died for your sins, then you are in a lot of trouble when you die. Another thing that gives me joy is playing football. Football is my life and I will play it until I cant play anymore. Giving joy is the most important though. Recieving joy is awesome, but giving is even better. For example, when you go to a nursing home and bring a gift to the elderly people, the smile the get warms your heart. Giving joy can be touching, but some of you may think recieving joy is better. To be honest, giving joy is very important, but I like recieving joy better. I know that is selfish, but it is true.
Joy is an awesome feeling. Its like the new hottest electronic device or shoe. Everyone wants it and everyone "needs" it. If you are ever alone in your room felling sad, do something joyful and it will make you feel better. Without joy, the world would be a useless, sad, wasteland. Joy makes everything better in times of despair and without it, people would go crazy.

Values

Values are very important in life. They reflect on what you cherish. Without values, there would be no meaning in life because without values there would be nothing to fight for, nothing to love. I was asked by my teacher to blog three of them. There are a lot to value and be thankful for.If I had to choose 3 I would choose:

1. Anger

2. Happiness

3. Freedom

Anger is really not a good thing.It is actually, to me, a sin.Anger drives friends and relationships apart and destroys them.There is one characteristic to anger though that is good.Like I said in my last blog, the " Black Hype", is mainly caused by anger. Before football games i get really and and violent. I don't know why but I just want to hurt who we are playing so bad and most people would think that I am a phycopath, but I don't care. It is what i feel and it is what i am going to express.It is a valuable tool on the football field, but also it is a friendship destroyer.
Happiness is another one of my values.Happiness is the best important value.(In my opinion.)Without happiness then, what reason do we have to live.I mean come on if you go all your life and don't have any happiness or fun then what kind of life did you live? Happiness, to me, means that when you do something good or something you like you get a good feeling.Like whenever i am around my friends, playing football or paintball, talking about skating,that stuff makes me happy.If the world was ever rid of happiness, people would go mad and there would be no goals to work towards in life.Happiness should be every ones value in life.
Freedom is the last and greatest of all my values.Freedom is what our forefathers worked for,sweat for,bleed for and died for.That is just one of the reasons to value freedom because our forefathers gave everything to have it.Another reason to value freedom is because without freedom life would not be good.All the time you hear about people having such a hard time in Africa, India, and the Middle East and how hard they have to work just to get by without all the technology and opportunities available to us in America.Freedom is one thing that I thank the Lord everyday for.If everyone had the freedom that we have, the world would probably have a lot more peace in it and less wars.
These are the things that I value the most in life.If everyone had 3 main values to work for and live for there would probably a lot less murders and suicides because if you have something to love and work toward, what reason is there to die?
With values, everyone could live a better life.

Black

This Blog comes off of a poem my English teacher wrote. The title is Black. It tells of how the color black infects and darkens every color and when the world ends there will be nothing but black. This is a part of my life and me. I wrote a poem today about the black hype.It tells of the color black and the feeling I get with it. It goes like this.

BLACK HYPE

Like a plague, like a sickness, it consumes me.

I am nothing but prey to it's evil eyes, like rabies but compared in power to it It is a monster that takes over you when you call it

Nothing but pain, violence, and despair in your mind

Don't let it go let it consume you

Do you feel it?

Do you feel its strength?

Do you feel its anger?

Do you feel its power?

Like a caged animal, with nothing but Black in its mind?

Dangerous

Like a poison, it takes over consumed with rage

Burning like an eternal fire

Deadly

Someone's evil is it's fuel to this sickness

Black Hype

Love it or Hate it?

I think that the symbyote in Spider Man 3 relates to what im talking about. It is kind of like " The Black Hype". It takes over you and changes you. I, personally, use this "Black Hype" in football games. It gets me fired up and ready to go. It might seem weird to you, but really I don't care. Something you use or like may seem weird to me. Yes, there is a evil side to black,but theres also a good side. The color black and "The Black Hype" can be used to intimidate an enemy. For instance, the "Blackouts" at UGA and at Flint River Academy's state game,( which we won haha), were very succeswsful and both have ended up in victories.

Teenagers

They are the best out of all the ages. We are full of life and excitment. Everyone syas that we live for the moment too much. But when your young, you need to live for the moment so when your older you have lots of stories to tell your children and grandchildren. When you live for the future to much, you wont have a live or any stories to tell and then your kids will think you re boring. We tend to get rowdy and disobey rules but thats just the way we are and we hate people trying to tell us about stuff we shouldnt do because we are tired of HEARING IT!!!!! But dont worry give us time. We will eventually grow out of it and become more like adults.

Friends

5/16/07
Friends they are very reliable and fun. They are something that keeps me going and that helps me get through the good and bad times in my life. Friends are people that you want to be around and to hang out with. Sometimes friends are not always humans. They can be a pet like my dog, Buck. He is always there for me and he always looking for me to spend time with him. I know that he loves me. In my opinion, he is the best dog ever because he does what I want him to do and is protective of me and my family. You should not just have one group of friends, you should try to be friends with everyone. If a friend takes advantage of you, tells you lies, or makes you do things you know shouldn't do, then that friend isn't a true friend. A true friend is one that respects you and loves you no matter what. You can't pick friends out of size, shape or looks. You have to judge them by what is on the inside. If you find a person that is fun and funny the he/she will probably be a good friend for you. Never be afraid to go to a person and learn more about them. Who knows, maybe that person could be one of your greatest friends. Don't say you can't find a friend, because they are everywhere.

Bad Kids

When I hear people say," That kid is bad" or immature that just makes me mad. It is not ALL of the kids fault, most of it is the parents. For example a dog. If you chain a dog up and not feed it or you hit it, that dog is going to be either mean or really afraid all the time.But, if you treat it with love, take good care of it, and treat it like a family member, then you will have one of the best dogs yo have ever had. Apply that to kids. If you don't love him/her then they will be a kid that's out doing bad things and trying to get the wrong kind of attention. It's not their fault either. It's yours( if you are a parent). On the other hand, if you treat a kid well, love him/her, supply all his/her needs, and give him/her a good house to live in, then you will have a good grade student, that stays out of trouble, and treats you well in return. If you hate people that are mean to you at Wal-Mart or people that drive angry, then you don't realize that they probably had a rough house life when they were a kid. So what do I do about it? Well if you have kids, then raise them well. Don't be bad, jerk parents. When all the bad people die, your kids will come in, change the way we live, and result in a better world. If you are a parent that treats kids bad, I have a question for you: Why do you do that? If you say well he/she's the worst kid shame on you. Do you know why? He/she is because you didn't raise them right or love them.

How To Save A Life

2 or 3 weeks ago, the worst shooting happened in American history.It happened at Virginia Tech and the shooter was a South Korean. A lot of media and press has been saying that he is insane.Which I believe is true,but I don't think that's the whole story. Think about it if you were in his position. I was one of the one's when I was young to be picked on and made fun of for various reasons and I still am kind of.Whether it was that my mom and dad didn't make enough money or whether it was that I had glasses, they still picked on me.I am in no way saying that that man was innocent. He did a horrible thing and I will remember it forever just like I do 9/11.I mean if someone would just have tried to understand him and try to talk to him 33 people would not be dead.Now other killers are thinking well that's not fair I want to be the one that made history for killing a lot of people.This is just not happening at universities and colleges, but at schools.Even at elementary schools deranged kids are shooting and killing people.If the world doesn't stop being lazy and not caring, then you and I may see the end of mankind.I don't care what kind of situation your in, we are all going to have to start caring and helping to help these people that are deranged.This is the main way, in this situation, on how to save a life.
