what the h*** is Emo
My friend said that I am becoming Emo, I still dont know what the hell emo is. Also every guy that I have thought was "hot" Is considered emo "at least that's what Bri said" I not sure what the hell she is talking about but i googled it and this is what I found out...........
The Way
I feel so blessed to have met kelan and for him to open this side of his life to me "The way" I enjoy ever thing about this youth group. although it is alot different from the "southern baptist" church I am use to, we are all there for the same thing, to become closer to the lord. Tonight topic was kinda about having your silences and solitude with the lord, not just always having to do things like youth group or trips across the world to feel beneficial, but just to give the lord some of your quite time. at the same time to also not carry your burdens alone and to know that your fellow Christians are there to help you with them and to make them there burdens as well. You hear people say all you need is god, if anything is wrong all you need is god but the only one who does not say that is god. The first thing that the lord says to Adam is "man should not be alone" therefore he gave him Eve. So in a nutshell thats what was being talked about tonight us as brothers and sisters in Christ should not have to be/feel alone that we all have each other to help us along the way.
pressure
pressure to give all that I can give and not to forget nor neglect me
pressure to love anyone that wants to be loved but always remember to love me
pressure to believe in mankind thru our destruction and poverty

* Sleep is as important as food and air. Quantity and quality are very important. Most adults need between 7.5 to 8.5 hours of uninterrupted sleep. If you press the snooze button on the alarm in the morning you are not getting enough sleep. This could be due to not enough time in bed, external disturbances, or a sleep disorder.
* Keep regular hours. Try to go to bed at the same time and get up at the same time every day. Getting up at the same time is most important. Getting bright light, like the sun, when you get up will also help. Try to go to bed only when you are sleepy. Bright light in the morning at a regular time should help you feel sleepy at the same time every night.
* Stay away from stimulants like caffeine. This will help you get deep sleep which is most refreshing. If you take any caffeine, take it in the morning. Avoid all stimulants in the evening, including chocolate, caffeinated sodas, and caffeinated teas. They will delay sleep and increase arousals during the night.
* Use the bed for sleeping. Avoid watching TV or using laptop computers. Know that reading in bed can be a problem if the material is very stimulation and you read with a bright light. If it helps to read before sleep make sure you use a very small wattage bulb to read. A 15 watt bulb should be enough. Bright light from these activities may inhibit sleep.
* Avoid bright light around the house before bed. Using dimmer switches in living rooms and bathrooms before bed can be helpful. (Dimmer switches can be set to maximum brightness for morning routines.)
* Don't stress if you feel you are not getting enough sleep. It will just make matters worse. Know you will sleep eventually.
* Avoid exercise near bedtime. No exercise at least 3 hours before bed.
* Don't go to bed hungry. Have a light snack, avoid a heavy meal before bed.
* Bedtime routines are helpful for good sleep. Keep routines on your normal schedule. A cup of herbal tea an hour before bed can begin a routine.
* Avoid looking at the clock if you wake up in the middle of the night. It can cause anxiety. This is very difficult for most of us, so turn the clock away from your eyes so you would have to turn it to see the time. You may decide not to make the effort and go right back to sleep.
* If you can't get to sleep for over 30 minutes, get out of bed and do something boring in dim light till you are sleepy.
* Keep your bedroom at comfortable temperature. Not too warm and not too cold. Cooler is better than warmer.
* If you have problems with noise in your environment you can use a white noise generator. A old fan will work or you can buy noise machies from many sources.
* Know that the "night cap" has a price. Alcohol may help you to get to sleep but it will cause you to wake up throughout the night. You may not notice it. (It is worse if you have sleep apnea because the alcohol makes the apnea worse.) Sometimes people snore only if they have had some alcohol or may snore worse if they already snore.)
* If you have a sleeping partner, ask them if they notice any snoring, leg movements and/or pauses in breathing . Take this information and try the sleep test. You may have a sleep disorder or you may just need to increase your awareness about your own sleep need. If you have any concerns see your doctor.
latte
ohhhh sooooo good otter pops
terry here are some simple steps on how to make your own drumset
You'll Need:
- String
- Silverware
- Overturned 5 gallon paint bucket (Without paint. If you need to get rid of the paint, ask your parents if you can paint the house, or the car, or the lawn. Or just surprise them!)
- Pie pans (Remove pies first. This can be done with your mouth. Strawberry pie is preferred.)
- 2 stools or small tables
- Coat rack
- 2 Drumsticks (not the kind from a turkey)
- Cow bell (remove cow)
Why all this guilt and shame? Actually, from American History
A little bit of American History:
Our attitudes about masturbation have deep roots for sure. Around the turn-of-the-century, some adults were so against masturbation that they forced their daughters to wear gloves made of a steel-wool-like material (like Brillo pads) at night and to put a powder on their genitals that made them painful to touch. They made their sons wear metal chastity belts at night that made it painful to have an erection. During the 1820s male masturbation was prevented by piecing the foreskin with a wire and soldering the ends together. Boys and girls were discouraged from masturbation by the threat of blindness, madness and illness. Of course, all of these are not true. Most surveys suggest that approximately 94% of teenage males "admitted" that they masturbated and about 70% of teen females "admitted" to this also.
