so according to ( http://www.livejournal.com/users/themigbutcher/88105.html ) this all i have to do to get my old friends to like me is revert back to the days of enormous pants that drag on the floor, letting people stomp all over me and being sure to not get 'tough' with them, and never try to make a girl feel good about herself until im ready to marry her.

i'll get right on that!

alright kids.
i need this.
i want everyone to do me a big favor and comment annonymously with something negative about me. give me anything you want. anybody who's wanted to say anything mean to me but didnt have the balls, just do it in an annonymous post. im serious. im going to take off I.P. logging and all that so there's NO WAY im going to be able to figure out who it is. i really do want some negative feedback here.

thanks

im pretty happy about how things go when i post things in my journal. i think it's pretty cool that people pick pieces out of my opinions and blow them up to the point of unrecognizable idiocy.

when i say a church should not be a social gathering... i do not mean you should go to church and never talk to anyone. that's stupid, and if you read that post with an open mind then you would have seen that what i meant was this...

church is not a meeting house, church is not a BBQ, church is not an arcade and church is not a place to discuss current events. first and foremost church is a place to learn about God. that's what churches were originally started as, they were set up as places for people to get together and fellowship (which is not what you think it is, fellowship isnt just hanging out with eachother it's building eachother up, and being of one spirit that is uplifting to the group) but it's mainly a place where people would go to hear the word of God. People dont need to go up to the church to find out how people are doing and find out what the latest gossip is, that's what livejournals and email addresses are for.

i did not mean that people shouldnt talk to one another. personally I am going to be more careful who i spend my chatting time with and i am going to keep myself away from the drama that comes from certain people, but that doesnt mean everyone should be just like me. so get over it.

and if you're going to quote me... do me a favor and put my name down, im proud of my literature.

i have trouble saying "christian" with a straight face anymore.
how am i going to call myself a christian when christianity is the opposite of what jesus wanted for his people. think of how many christians follow one of the two rules Jesus said were most important? im sick of "christianity" and im sick and tired of "christians" thinking their real hot stuff.
so this is me signing off of your christian outlook. im through with the petty crap you people pull. i go to church to learn and not to socialize with a bunch of walking corpses. im on the show up late and leave early diet, now.
and if you think that im renouncing God or Jesus i dont want to talk to you ever again. if you have your stuff together then you'll understand that im making one of the best decisions i can make.

the further away from "christians" you can get, the closer to christ. i promise you. now i know just why jesus' own followers crucified him. it wasnt a party any more so they got pissy and mad.

if you didnt notice christianity is supposed to be about faith, hope , and love. how many people go to your church every week with a big frown on their face because they are "so unworthy" or "have a broken spirit" over the same thing every week. its ridiculous to hear people complain with no real intentions of working out their salvation. im sick of hearing that you're "addicted" to some sin. nobody 'struggles' with sin for very long if they have the power of God. sin is completely powerless against God and therefore with the right intention and the right amount of spiritual elbow grease anyone can overcome a sin if they pick it out and actually deal with it. the trick is, nobody likes righteousness as much as they claim to, they love to sin, they hate to abstain.

im sorry if you dont like me pouring alcohol on your wounds you flaunt so well, but i really really really dont care if your box of christian norm is upset.

most christians have personally and single handedly shown me the best example of what not to act like, and i appreciate the life out of every last one of you... i just dont want to talk to you about it because you'll probably bring me down some more.

if you're upset by me "falling away" or whatever. sleep easy, because loving God and Jesus is not the same thing as Christianity in 2003.

remember kids, this is not just a race. this is a battle. and in battle, you hurt the enemy. oh wait... no you dont. and in battle you're proud of your leader. oh wait... no you're not. and in battle you care about the wellbeing of the people you're fighting with. oh wait... you couldnt care less.

have a wonderfully complacent night. because you're going to read this (if you havnt already stopped and left a clever comment on my journal talking about how wrong i am just to start trouble) and think "oh man, mig is nothing but a jerk. i'll be sure to bring up his lack of salvation in the next prayer meeting i show up to, they'll really think im something then." and forget the meaning behind everything i've tried to convey to you.

goth kids really upset me sometimes. i mean seriously, do you really think that you're so opressed? and if you are so opressed, all you have to do is buy some nice clothes and take off all your precious bracelets and necklaces. if you're going to go and dress how you want to... dont complain about it when people make fun of you. call me a closed-minded bigot, preppy kid, conformist if you want to, i dont care because i dont seek the approval of goth kids.

isnt it fantastic that the biggest atheist in my school is my best friend and cares about me more than anyone else does. yet all the christians (reminding you that Christ primarily taught love and forgiveness) dont talk to me anymore because we disagree on things like "loving your neighbor" and "accepting sinners"

.moving on
.closed minded people who cant argue
.gossip

in it's absence loves contrast makes it purest & most welcome. violently passionate the light attacks the darkest darkness most fervently. when love is shown in an environment of contempt love is so much more evident than the presence of the hate that love so valiantly succeeded. everproving that we can never appreciate something until we're stripped of them and they stand so nakedly before Love wishing it back.

this girl drives me so crazy. i probably saw her for a good 30 minutes yesterday and that made my week. i didnt think i'd be able to see her and i ended up getting to. what can make a person happier?
she came over and did nothing but make me weak in the knees. so weak that when i came back in the house i just fell on my face on bert's bed and laid there in comeplete contentment. i couldnt even play video games after that. too extatic.

all day i've been trying pretty hard to be quiet. i realize that i run my mouth too much as it is and i need to quiet down sometimes. but when i do people always ask me if im okay. just because im not running from group to group making sure everyone's in great spirits doesnt mean im doing bad. maybe i just like the book im reading, or maybe i just want to sit here by myself. i dont know. i have realized that when you spend your life doing things outrageously to get attention... people notice you more when you stop.

im working really hard on trying to be more positive so please; if you want to make fun of someone, dont do it when im around because it not only makes me sick to my stomach it makes me not like you. (i know i sound like the biggest hypocrite in the world, but im not being hypocritical... im trying to make myself better)

i'd like to officially say that if we were close in california and you dont talk to me anymore... forget rebuilding a relationship.
becca is seriously one of the only people who im even thinking about going back for. the rest of you can seriously just go back to what you were doing. im sick and tired of talking to answering machines and sending i love you's with no return of affection. i love you becca and thank you so much for caring about me as much as you do even though we live so far away.
