wikipedia
so i love wikipedia, its pretty freaking awesome.
i learned that Hot could mean:
Hot can have several meanings:
Look up Hot in Wiktionary, the free dictionary
* Relatively high temperature. See also heat conduction.
* Can describe spicy food.
* Jargon used to describe radioactivity. "Be careful, the room is hot".
* Hot is also the name of a 1970s pop music group whose best-known song is "Angel In Your Arms".
* In some areas of the United States, it is another name for a hot dog.
* Slang adjective describing something that has been stolen.
* Slang adjective describing something or someone that is sexually attractive and/or provocative (ie. Josh is hot).
* Slang synonym for "impressive", "great", "cool", or "excellent". The usage of the word in this manner is notably used by Paris Hilton as a catch phrase: "That's hot!".
* Hot is an acronym for Heal over Time. (antonym: damage over time)
so think about that next time you call some one hot....
and that apparently no one can get together on what exactly a young adult is:
The term "Young adult", when used in different contexts, can refer to slightly different age groups:
* In psychology, people of the age 20 to 40 are considered Young adults.
* In the marketing of literature, books for Young adults are roughly targeted for ages 12 to 18.
* In health and human development, young adulthood is considered to be the stage between adolescence and adulthood, roughly ages 15 to 24.
* In popular usage, "young adult" is sometimes simply a euphemism for adolescent.
thats pretty dissappointing. apparently the generations before us managed to create a new section of development, but never bothered to figure out what it was... *gosh*
there is also what david brooks said in his article called "bondage and bonding online" its about myspace and facebook and other stuff... its not exactly a positive image he sets forward. apparently we are all socially inept so we turn to the internet for help. grrrr.
" Some sociologists worry that we're bowling alone, but these sites (MySpace has 20 million visitors a month) are all about community. They're commonly used by people in the new stage of life that's been created over the past few decades. They are in their early to mid-20's; they're out of school but have no expectation they should marry soon. They're highly mobile, half-teen/half-adult, looking for a life plan and in between the formal networks of school, career and family.
So they bond online with an almost desperate enthusiasm. The Web pages they create are part dorm-room wall, part bulletin board, part young person's society page. They post photos of favorite celebrities, dirty postcards and music videos. And there are tons of chug-and-grins: photos of the gang gripping beers at a bar, photos of the tribe chugging vodka on the beach, photos of the posse doing shots at an apartment. Scroll down the page and there are people falling over each other, beaming and mugging for the camera phone."
perhaps we should consider equipping young people with more skills that they will need for life, as opposed to force feeding them facts that they barf up on standardized tests without ever using their brains once... huh? huh? huh?

ahhhhhh
man, blog!! its soo good to see you again. i give up on myspace, frankly, i didnt want to be on it to begin with, you know... on principle. then my sister made me one and i got sucked into that whole world for a little while. thanks GOD i got out. myspace is nice and all, but its not really my space. its not ever really real. its virtual space, and not what i need to even be doing with my time.
man, i cant believe i stayed healthy through the fall though. it was all over in december and january damnit. ive not been this sick since i was a kid i think. its like i stored up all the little colds i could have had over time and the turned into one whammy of a disaster. my dad didnt even think i was really sick and told me not to go to the doctor, i was sick though. my parting gifts for this 3 week fiasco were a sinus infection and the worst ear infection ive ever had (seriously the doctor said it was the worst ear he'd seen this week, crazy). so now im on the ole antibiotics and drinkin lots of water. its just super. at least i dont feel like im going to die anymore, right?
so i did read a book while i was sick, so there is an upside i guess. ive been listening to a lot of lectures on tape because theres nothing else to do in the 30 - 45 min drive i have to work everyday. i have heard some talks by rikk watts and marva dawn on the pastor and the prophetic ministry of jesus, and of course the NT Wright ones on apocloypse. they are all really good, but have left me wanting more, which is good since i am really hoping and praying that i get into seminary for the fall. that would be REALLY REALLY SUPER. but i hear that the best way to make god laugh is to tell god your plans. which i believe is probably true, but probably not as theologically sound as we would like it to be.
man this blog is dated, i gotta change the colors and stuff soon. its far to pink. i like pink, but not this much.
oh! the book i read... i read anne lammotte's "Traveling Mercies" and it was pretty awesome. its just stories from her life and her thoughts on faith. its beautifully written and not cheesy at all. i mean its kind of a trend in christian books to tell stories about your life and tie them to jesus, but she does it in a different way and sticks to a lexicon that the average person would appreciate. the stories she tells are ones that a lot of people can empathize with. i just really enjoyed her approach to life. "god loves us too much to let us stay the way we are" i learned so much from that book. i cant wait to read the next one called "plan b"
first im reading a book by kathleen norris called "amazing grace:a vocabulary of faith" its pretty good so far. she takes the "scary" words of teh faith and explains them in an intelligent and thoughtful way. i want to write a book like this someday. mine will be different though.
apparently the PC(USA) is attempting to bring young adults into the loop. my dad gave me this pamphlet that the church got in the mail. its SO cheesy!!! its called WE BELIEVE (i think thats a childrens cirriculum too), its short small group studies designed to be for young adults, ugh, jesus and the hip hop generation, mix it up: faith and politics, healthy living: stewardship of the body, checklist of life, discerning gods call, seekers, saints and other hypocrits, islam and christianity, urgency born of hope, the matrix and the gospel, beyond the outer limits.... i mean WHAT? apparently young adults have absolutely NO interest in studying the actually bible or anything that isnt really fakey pop culture rip offs. we dont want to just get together and enjoy being in a community of like minded individuals, or just of people who share a faith. no wonder i dont like going to church.
i think im done for now, but ill be back after my meds kick in again and my brain clears up...
