Figures I'd rant about something that's considered so controversial it's now mundane. Everyone and their Ipod has a blog dealing with religion/politics someway or another, so I decided to add one more post to the world-wide-weebles!
So, while reading the headlines to the local newspaper, my brow rose slightly at one of the topics in hand:
Students walk out during Pledge in protest over saying 'one nation, under God'
Apparently 12 kids walked out durring the pledge and proposed that oath be changed to the following:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag
and my constitutional rights with which it comes.
And to the diversity, in which our nation stands,
one nation, part of one planet,
with liberty, freedom, choice and justice for all."
Are you all done laughing yet? I still haven't.
I just found it soooooo ironic that this one pledge, something that actually united us all, is in the process of being deversified and causing conflict within each other. Not to mention that the constitution is constantly being altered with amendments and whutnot, how can one "pledge allegiance" to something that's not constant?
"But there should be a seperation of church and state."
"State" perhaps, but this is a national thing.
And if you protest about God so much, stop using money! It's government issued and they have "In God we trust." Follow through you bastards!
"You shouldn't use His name in Vain."
Now, I was raised under religion's iron fist (aka; Mexican-style Roman Catholic) but I've always considered "God" to be a title, not a name. I mean, if it were truely a name... and back when languages were still influenced by religion, they should have decreed another word for the use to describe... well gods. "Dieties" is an example, but you don't see "Demi-Diety" or "The dieties must be crazy" or things like that.
I'm a case manager, does not mean I am THE CASE MANAGER! (Yes, capslock and all).
I can just see it now....
יהוה - *reading over the draft copy of the Bible* Oi! That's not my name! It's יהוה ! Get it right, ya mashugina!
Humans - Yeah, about that.... sorry... we can't pronounce it. And we couldn't agree if it was Yahweh or Jehova either... so we'll call you God for short. ktnxbai!
And you all wonder why he caused the floods and the plague and whatnot.
Anyway, back on topic....
er....
I had a point... at least, I think I did.
Oh yeah... church and state....
So much drama.
Yeah....

What's Your One Piece Doujinshi Personality?

You are: Chopper-type.
Analysis:
You feel a craving for love, affection, and attention. However, for some reason, you.are so convinced that you're unlovable that you try to shut others out. This confuses people around you, because, guess what? You're just about the cutest thing since the Easter Bunny and the sweetest thing since C&H. For some reason everyone knows it but you. People love your kindness and your willingness to care for others. Why not let them return the favor sometime?
You are very innocent and shy. Sex is not as important to you as friendship and affection in general, and ultimately you find snuggling up with a loved one the most fulfilling of any activity. You love having attention and care, for instance, having your hair brushed, your nails done, or being bathed. Little things like that become very intimate and meaningful to you. As well they should be-- it's hard to earn your trust, and if you let someone close enough to you to clean your ears with one of those little poky sticks it says a lot about how you feel for them.
You are most compatible with: A Luffy-type has the same sort of feelings about friendship and love being the same as you. A Sanji-type would give you all the love and attention you crave, too..
Advice: Let someone make you their little teddy bear.

- The Magic 8-ball states I am....:
embarrassed
It's been a hell-ass long time since I updated anything to this journal. That's not including replies to other's entries or club entries. Why post here then, if I still have Sheezy and DA to work with? Why not? I probably won't ever post again here anyway XD I'm not exactly an LJ fanatic ^_^;;
*shrugs*
Anyway...
I think I'm going to be doing more One Piece Fanart in the future. XD I finally caught up.. at least I think chapter 345 is 'caught up'. So far my favorite character has been and continues to be Usopp. But with the current storyline arc? :cries: I'm just in agony wondering what's going to happen to him now! :sniff:
Trying to pull myself out of my depressive stage, I figured it's been a while since I drew anything at all. I have no idea what made me think this up, but durring the process, it made me giggle. ^_^;
( Sanji's mysterious left eye )
Hope you enjoy!

The world is a dark and lonely place.... x_x

Bah! Bah I say!
It was looking too empty. ^_^
Anyway, for those who are nosey about these things, welcome to my journal. Before anything, I should let you know that I'm such a lazy ass when it comes to updating things. I won't particularly post everyday, but I'll try not to go a whole week without posting.
I may use this place as a sounding board when I'm frustrated, or if I ever get stabbed with an idea for a fic, I'll post up my Idea here and ponder if I should make a whole story about it.
Other times I'll just be a typical LJ'er and post up quiz results, mostly those that amuse me, such as this one...

You're a Yaoi fangirl.
Are you a yaoi fangirl?
brought to you by Quizilla
Hehe... and I wasn't even trying to get this result... i wanted the stronger yaoi fangirl category, but I'm happy with it.
Yeah, that says ALOT about me. Perhaps it's a warning, or something, it's up to you to decide.
I'll also post up status on drawings or fanfics I'm currently doing. Well... anything.. I'll try to find a use for this thing.
Until then!
