What I Think About Ya'll

Making a Point

The mind is filled with millions of misconceptions about others, and I'm going to share with you what I feel about a few bloggers on here to prove the point that we don't need to cling to these thoughts, but let them go and actually get to know people and love them, because every person is worthy of love.

This isn't meant to piss anyone off, and if it does, I'm sorry. I still love all of you guys. Oh, and don't defend youself in the comment box. I've already made the point that my opinion doesn't matter, because I don't even really know you guys.

Michael (Imajint): Most of the time I'm stuck in envy of you because of all you've experienced in your short lifetime. I.E: rodeos, skydiving, military, love, learning (college/life). One time a while back, though, you left a comment on Muggaz blog that read, "In order for Muggaz to become a Christian, he would have to admit that drug use is wrong, and he's not ready to do that." Now, Michael, you're very open about your sexual relations with various women, and we all know you're not married yet. I've tried very hard not to judge you, but I think that if you choose to live your life in hypocricy, you shouldn't judge others along the way. I like you Michael. You encourage not only me, but everyone else on Joe and you embrace us without hesitancy. You love music, which is one of the most admirable traits I can think of. You're a wonderful writer, but you write so much b.s. out of your Joeuser addiction that it gets irksome for fellow bloggers to have to sort through all the junk to find something of depth. You're very endulgent, which isn't neccesarily a bad thing, but I think you take it to the extreme sometimes.

Mark (Muggaz): You are so transparent in some of your writing that I'm amazed it's even possible for someone to write that well. We all know you've been hurt in the past, and I think it's because you love completely and make yourself vulnerable. Though you think you are still able to love like that, you aren't. You have a block on your heart now, and that makes me so sad because it's such a beautiful heart. You should really give other people a chance to see it. You have a lot of fun, you love music, and you love people. I won't go into talking about your parents; it's far too personal. I actually believe you when you say the drugs are merely for enhancement, but that doesn't make it right. God may have to break your heart even more than it has been before you turn to him for that enhancement and realize that nothing is about you. You can do nothing on you own.

Macky: Ah, the hopeless romantic. I originally became entranced with you because it was obvious that you wrote for you and no one else. It was like therapy for you, and you never expected to gain a following. But you did. Now, you're loved by lots of people. Like Muggaz, you love completely and you're one of the few people that have learned that the secret to Christianity is not condemning, but loving. It's painfully obvious how much you love your current girlfriend and your past girlfriends. The truth behind your words and the transparency you practice makes your blogs pierce my heart. Your girfriend is a lucky girl.

Sarah (BigDreamer): You're searching; I like that about you. You're trying to expand your mind despite the fact that you are homeschooled and a little sheltered. You know your scripture and don't hesitate to share it with others. You also don't hesitate to share opinions and you don't seem to care how people are going to react when you used "curse words". You're another one I envy for all your talents in music and ranching and whatnot. It does get irksome for me when you constantly spout about religion and scripture as if it will change the hearts of unbelievers. Let me let you in on a little secret: they don't believe what the Bible says. Why would they care what the scripture has to say if they don't believe it in the first place? The only thing we can do really is to show them Christ's love through us.

Thomas (Cann1bal): I don't yet know you well enough to make judgements about your character, but I couldn't leave you out. You embrace ambiguity, and that's not a trait many people share. You seem to have figured out a lot of things it will take the rest of us a while to catch on to.

Nicky: I think that all of us share a bond now because you first initiated friendship to us all. You acknowledged us and wrote about us and now we all feel like a family. You recognize beauty and your blogs always bring a smile to my face.

Anne (Tangled Wishes): I got so excited about the first comment you ever left on my blog. I had been reading your stuff, and was astounded at how open you were. For me, just reading your writing was like venting. I didn't even have to do it myself. I've seen you go through changes in the small time I've been here, and I've noticed a drop in your readers. That upsets me a little because I still love you, and I can't stand people who thrive on anger. You had your anger spouts, and you will again. It's ok to be happy for a while. You're searching for answers. That's not a judgement either, you have said it. You said you don't know if you're a Christian. You're not. If you don't know, you're not. Keep searching though, you'll figure things out.

MadPoet: I'm so glad you joined us. I worry about you though. You take this a little to seriously, and while I'm glad it brings you comfort, you'll need something else to turn to when this, too, fails you...just as everything else of this world will.

Brad: I'm constantly vacilating between despising you and loving you. I think it's possible to feel both at the same time. The way you use knowledge and words is both wonderful and annoying. I think we all wish you'd just come down to earth for a little while. Show us you have a heart; life is not just about statistics and theology. Write something about your family, your wife, your heart, your soul. I'd love to know that stuff.

Ted (Suspeckted): You're the best poet on Joeuser, in my eyes. I see a love of life in you. Like the rest of us, you're just trying to figure things out, and I think you're doing a damn good job of it.

Captain Cornbread: I think you know you irritate me. I can't really say why...you're writing's just not my style. You still have a teenage mindset, and though many would beg to differ, I think I just skipped over most of those stages that teens are known for. Keep writing though, there are people here that enjoy your writing. A teenage mindset can be fun.

If I left anyone out that I normally comment on, let me know and I'll add you to the list and let you know what I think. That is, if you can take it, or if you even care.

I hope you all see my point, and I would be heartbroken if any one of you decided I'm not worth your time anymore.

Hey do me I want to see anothers opinion... I don't have many articles though and I don really know you...umm I guess just based on what you have seen from me is the only opinion I can expect.

Successfully updated karma reason!

Psychx, you're right, I don't know you very well. But I'll try. I think that you have the same mental capabilities as people like Brad, but you're not arrogant about it. You stay on the same level as the rest of us. You once told me I am a "rose that grew through concrete". That made me love you. Are you a Christian? Your article on vanity was genius, and I think you have a lot of insight into the human mind. I imagine you as one of those people that just get lost in thought. I mean, we all get lost in though, but I believe you're one that does it purposely. And, you don't have to have anything else going on at the time. You're able to just sit and think and have that amuse you.

Trinitie

p.s. The title of your site, "Thinking about thinking" should be changed to "metacognition". It means to think about thinking.

Successfully updated karma reason!

Hmm... To say the least, I am impressed with your analysis, although I can't say my head isn't swelled... I don't think Brad would concur with me being on the same level as him but it's his site so I'll leave it at that...I am glad you liked my comment I think it was appropriate after having read that post and some of your others. I am Christian even though my comprehension of the human mind makes it somewhat challenging at times, I have never lost faith. Getting lost in thought is where the spark for the post I wrote on vanity came from. I appreciate your opinion on me and I value it just as much as I would if it were coming from a friend I have known for years. I think someone already took the metacognition title but I might go ahead and take your advice if no one has it.

You forgot me...and do we get to give you our opinion about you?

Successfully updated karma reason!

Sure, but don't take offense when I say I don't really care what you think about me.

I left you out on purpose Dharmagrl, because I really haven't figured you out yet. You've always been very kind to me. I do read your stuff, but I mostly try to steer clear of the "religious" article, because I don't like to preach and it's obvious we don't share the same views. That's pretty much all. I like you though!

Hmmm...I'd like to throw in that I haven't "figured" anyone out yet.....the point I'm trying to make.

That was fun reading. Thanks Trin.

Trin,
The names Thomas. As for the ambiguity... its about time someone other than my gf figured out that I love to hide meaning in my writing.. I raised myself on Dante and other classic writer... hey I like dead guys... what can I say. I think it is important to make it where people that just read it read it and get the over tone of the piece but I also like it when poeple take the time to read deep within the lines and find out there is much more than what is in black and white... if this sound incohorent its because I just woke up.

Adios

I find feelings to be a poor judgement of character. I have no feelings, so I'm disqualified. I like to instigate, I like to irritate, I like to inflame, sort of like athlete's foot of the heart. If you don't sail on my ship, better walk the plank, unless you can pleas Sir Maxwell.

As a post script, I like your writing style.

I'm finding rather interesting that only people who AREN'T in my article are commenting.

Voodoo, thanks. You're a pal.

T-man, I can't tell if you're saying it was "fun" because it was ignorant, or if you just enjoyed reading it.

Thanks Trin... after a harsh day I appreciated this article for some reason. I really like how you started out the article and made it clear that it wasn't for arguementation.

I feel special that you talked about me, and wanted to say thanks for the advice... about overusing scripture. You're right; completely and thoroughly right. " Let me let you in on a little secret: they don't believe what the Bible says." I should have realized that sooner. Thanks for helpin me along.

Hey everyone-I think we should do an analysis/opinions on Trinitie. Alright?

I admire you, completely. I don't know a lot about how you grew up, but I have a feeling it wasn't easy. I think most people would have given up by now, but you are so optimistic and just keep going. You're such an amazing writer too, and all the boys here love you. You make it so real for me when I'm reading your blogs. I can't stop thinking about the picture in my mind I have of you down by the pool that day, I don't know why. You wrote it so well and painted such a vivid picture I don't think I'll forget it, at least not for a long time. You remind me of me in some ways, although it may not come across in my blogs too much. One last thing: you're different, like no one I've ever met, and I like that.

One last quick thing... one time you said that my "personality doesn't seem to align correctly" or something like that... I'm just wondering what you mean by that.... like the different aspects of it or what? ohh, man I'm tired........

I'll comment on Trinitie, although I must admit that I don't know anybody on here too well as I don't read many personal blogs.

From the comments I've read by you, you seem stable, assertive, and will speak your mind. I like your strength, especially during a time when I think most teenage girls are melodramatic.

"the girls don't love me? "

Trinitie.... I am a girl and I like you!!! : )

I really enjoy reading your blog.... What I think of you.. You seem really strong and grounded in faith, which is somthing I admire. You seem to really care, and I like that. You are awesome!

Because I am curious.... What do you think of me?

Successfully updated karma reason!

Janders, you're one of the ones I didn't include because we really don't see a whole lot of your personality through your writing. It's not that I don't read it or even that I don't find it interesting, it just doesn't tell me much about you. The most personal thing I ever read by is the blog about your daughter. Your husband left a comment dedicated to her, and you told him ya'll would get through it together. I love that you two are this site together, I love to see 2 people in love communicating...even if it is over the net.

Thank you for the compliments everyone. I seriously wasn't expecting this. I did expect hateful comments from the likes of Muggaz and Imajinit, but I reckon they haven't come across the article yet.

Successfully updated karma reason!

Trinitie, just read some of your articles you have a lovely style of writing, so easy to read! It's nice to see you pay so much attention to other people and what they are writing about, though I don't really know many of the people on here, your opinions seemed very constructive and I hope that they are appreciated in the way they were meant

Successfully updated karma reason!

hey trin surely it's my turn? do me, do me!

as incentive, about your style i love your approach to christianity, how open you are and how positive and encouraging you are. you're honest but i haven't seen you put anyone down and i respect that. keep up the good work.

Successfully updated karma reason!

Teegstar, you're another one that really doesn't write personal blogs, but I always look forward to reading yours. Your style of writing is so fun! I feel like if I knew you in real life I would just love you. Hence, you name being added to my list.

T-man, I can't tell if you're saying it was "fun" because it was ignorant, or if you just enjoyed reading it.

I enjoyed reading it. So often we (people in general) have views of people, but we don't mirror back to them what we see. It is almost always helpful, and many times encouraging to see what others think of us. Sometimes it exposes that our masks are not so thick as we think, sometimes it exposes graciousness and kindness in us that we didn't even realize we had. Sometimes it exposes deep selfishness that we had no idea we had, sometimes immaturity or defensiveness, and so on.

I would like for this to go without saying, but I'm going to say it anyway--I've never considered you ignorant in the pejorative sense. We are ALL ignorant together in that we don't know everything about anything. the foolishness of God is wiser than mans wisdom.

It was truely enjoyable to read you article.

Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God, and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God; he that loveth not knoweth not God for God is love.

I feel good. I thnk I got the most disliking from you. That's cool! I like that you don't mind crushing someone's spirits.

I can understand why you don't like my writing but regardless, I like hearing from you every now and then.

""""all the boys here love you""""

I'm gonna have to admit that I'm not exactly fond of you right now.

But that's alright. I'm just surprised that you actually included me. Was I the one you wanted in here to put down so you didn't look too up lifting? Or do you just reply to my stuff to try and help my writting? I haven't quite figured out why you reply to my stuff even though you DON'T like my writing. Do you do it in hopes of finding something good in my blogs?

I guess this would make this easier for anyone like me, who usually just skips to the replies to cause 'trouble.

Captain Cornbread: I think you know you irritate me. I can't really say why...you're writing's just not my style. Keep writing though, there are people here that enjoy your writing. A teenage mindset can be fun.

Hehe!!! I irritate you. That's so nice of you. I know you could have been a lot more blunt than that and you weren't, so... thanks. Are you just saying it can be fun so that you said at least one nice thing to me? Again, thanks!

Capt. over and out!

P.S.~ Is there a group of us that are always responding to each other in a cirlce, or am I just imagining things? It seems like the people that you including in your article, I would have too. Of course, my analysis of each person (except Brad) would be different.

Have a good day! It's a nice day here and it's Sunday!
