*Chuck Norris knows a word that rhymes with orange. *When Chuck Norris jumps in a pool, he doesn't get wet. The pool gets Chuck Norris. *Chuck Norris gets 4 stars on EVERY level of Angry Birds. Um, I have a question. WHO THE HECK EVEN IS CHUCH NORRIS? I hear about this guy daily as if he is a God or something. I don't even understand it. I thought he was just fake guy, and then i heard he was real...and what is up with these jokes? I just don't get it. This guy must be some power buff. I really wish people would not obsess over people or materials such as this. We are guided not to worship false idols. And yes, I understand that most of those who like him may not treat him like a God, or even go as far as being obsessed to say the least, but really it is in the subconcious and by wearing these shirts, telling the jokes, and just caring about such, you are letting it into your life and it takes up a useless spot. I suppose this concept can really go along with any "Idol". Such as pro sports players, musicians, or actors. Like when people start to obsess over some one by, perchasing all their merch, and "stalking" them online to find out more about them. I really find that disturbing. No, I am not saying that I am perfect, but I try not to be overly prompt about such. Yes I admire certain musicians and people, but I can never replace them for a rediculous happiness, or short term want that i will never egt. E.G. Okay, so you went to a Justin Bieber concert, and he is all you think about, all you listen to, and his pictures decor your room. That is taking it too far. I am going to a Cody Simpson concert on May 17th, which I am pretty stoked about but he is just another person. Really, he may have some talent and has a few cute songs, but I am going just for a fun experience and I will NOT let myself turn my life over to something rediculous like that. I am not stating that EVERYONE who has these certain "idols" are truly obsessed and they take over their lives, but there is a limit needed, and ofcourse, for me at least, I feel that the Lord comes first in all things. Nothing can be put before him. I also realize that many of us, as a world, choose to love these "idols" and live by what they do that it's because they really have done something worth accomplishing and we can respect that and have them as an example to us. I supose for some examples, like MLK, Mahatma Gandhi, Alexander Graham Bell, and some musicians who who have left this world honorably, and other Religious leaders that we honor. These have truly left a mark on our history, and I feel like they can be our "heros" and we can love and respect what they have done. And I suppose some athletes, if they are really very good then YES we can look up to them. Just treating them like a God is too far and acting like they will die if their "Basketball Player" has a bad game. Now with this I am totally not trying to hate or make anyone feel bad. This is just how i percieve it. Okay so MAJOR ANNOYANCE. In seminary last week the day of the BYU vs FLORIDA game, Tanner was determined that BYU would win, and he said opening AND closing prayer. He was ALL ABOUT JIMMER. Actually MANY people we. JIMMER THIS. JIMMER THAT. I just wanted to scream at them to stop talking aboout JIMMER!!! Is he really THAT amazing? Its just a stinkin Basketball game. My goodness. So, the next day, many of the BYU-ers wore black in "mourning" of the loss of the game. I was actually relieved to say the least. Glad that most of the madnees is over. JEEESH. (And it was not only Jimmer, also many other names were thrown out) But when i started talking about my frustration and how i was glad it was over, I was totally shot down and told to shut up because i dont know what I am talking about. okay. Maybe i dont watch basketball 24/7 but I do know that when you become that crazed about something so insiginificant, and of no consequence (to us as watchers of the game) that there is going to be a problem. Because please tell me what is going to happen to your life that would be so tragic, becasue one night Jimmer Freddette didn't play his best and they lost. Okay sorry if that was harsh, I understand that many of you basketball die hards out there are probably angry and consider these MORE than games. I guess i just wouldn't put this on my top priority list. I guess a peeve I have about people liking these these "media-esque" movie stars and musicians is because in reality are just like US...only they might have some talent and Paparazzi. Speaking of pet peeves. #4. When people state the obvious to try to be funny. Like in class when the teacher asks for good news and someone raises their hand and is like "Its friday!"..or if its monday and they say "4 days til friday!!!"...do you know what i am saying? Again, not trying to hate. I guess I am just in a bad mood. ..All I am going to say fro this next note is that I am frustrated. Have I been wasting my time? I feel like I made some new friends. But there is no effort on the other end. So are we friends? MAYBE NOT. My weekend blowed. And I suppose it might have just been that I am a girl and over react about EVERYTHING, but I was just upset. I dont think it's supposed to end this way. I'm not sure it should anyway... 5 Facts:
