I don't like naming my posts, it makes me think, and thinking hurts my head...

so anyway, today is thrsday, it's the second of march, and i'm going somewhere cool tommorow. tommorow i am going to Rakvere (just another town in Estonia, what makes this one cool is that in it's name there's the word "blood" "vere") for my friend Anton's birthday. which should be pretty cool because i'm going to get some good language excercise because he is one of those cool people that speak English, Estonian and Russian, and therefore i'm pretty sure there will be people from every language group represented. but i'm pretty sure i'l be the only native English speaker, so i'll represent all of us English speakers to the best of my abilities. but anyway that should be wicked cool. for his present i'm going to make him a CD of cool rap/hip hop songs, mostly christian, so if you can think of any cool christian rappers let me know, i've already thought of the best 2 though (TobyMac and John Reuben).

but anyway i just want to write a quick thing that i learned from watching the simpsons this morning. do you know that the simpsons is a actually a great show for getting your mind thinking about spiritual things? well it is. in the episode today the simpson family got brainwashed by some cult, all except for Marge, the mother/wife. who then went and got reverend Lovejoy together with grouskeeper willy, the crazy scot, and went and unbrainwashed the whole family. but how they unbrainwashed homer, the dad/husband, was very interesting to me. part of this cult was that you couldn't drink alchohol, and so to unbrainwash homer they gave him beer. but at first his brainwashed mind resisted. "no, don't give into temptation!!" said his mind, "mmmm beer, drink it!" said his stomach, "these are really comforatable shoes" said his feet. and as i was watching this i was going, "ain't that the truth". do you know the feeling of being pulled in a million and one dirctions all at once? your mind says one thing, your stomach another, your feet say something completely different! and then you have your nose, hands, knees, and everything else all saying do this, that and the other thing. plus you've got the the little angels and devils on your shoulder. saying "join the darkside, we've got cookies and the majority of famous and good looking people!!" and the angel going "the darkside is full of lies, serve God, who loves you and cares about you" and the devil replies with temptation "we have the pleasures of the world...sex...drugs...alchohol...join us!!" and it keeps going back and forth like that. so anyway i actually don't think i had a point besides the fact that i can relate to Homer Simpson, now i must take my leave of you...goodbye!
