Our lawyers made us change the name of the song so we wouldn't get sued

I better make this quick, but I realized I have a lot of things to thank God for, this week especially, and I want to post it before I lose it.
I'm thankful that/for...
1. I was able to keep my mouth shut during pivotal points throughout the week, or else I might've alienated some people. Or offended. Or something.
2. I have a sense of humor.
3. God doesn't hate me for not getting why he didn't give everyone else a sense of humor (sure, a lot of people have one, but not everybody) and questioning that.
4. Giving me an amazing ex-teacher that actually thought I had some writing ability. So now I have started a writing project, and I'm following Stephen King's advice and just letting it go where it may, not outlining and crap. Hope this works.
5. The fact that I can write. Sort of. And play piano.
Yeah. You probably won't get it, but it makes me feel better.
6. Oh. And getting rid of the fuzzies.
Easy button: That was easy.

Matt Wilson said...

I've become rather more regularly lately. (in more ways than one! yessssssss...roflcopter) I'm sure you loved that bit of information eh? that was rather corny unfortunately. anyways yeah. u r cool.

Matt Wilson said...

also, I no longer relate to mark ruffalo, at least in the way I intended at the time. lol.

Matt Wilson said...

maybe I should put all this once comment but I keeping on thinking of more stuff to say. I started a book about a month ago lol, so far I have a whole paragraph done. and a placeholder title.

Matt Wilson said...

all this once comment? *all this in one comment excuse my terrible grammar that I apparently have.

Matt Wilson said...

your parents probably don't allow you to have a myspace do they.

Matt Wilson said...

elvis is amazing. ok I'm done now I swear.

Lauren said...

wtf matt?
I had Pop Tarts, so that's kind of celebratory.
Um, Mark Ruffalo = in love with a dead person????
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU???
Myspace.....no.

Matt Wilson said...

so you choose not to have a myspace? or is it a parent thing? I can respect not having a myspace on your own accord, and would've agreed with you not to long ago (if thats even your stance) but I think its becoming almost like having a phone in your house or an internet connection, soon enough (if it isn't already) its going to a given just like an email adress. "whats your myspace url?" I believe its also a ripe mission field. and the mike ruffalo thing...well it was like...being in love but not being able to reach out an touch you know? more of an abstract thing that njust being in love with a dead person. but again I no longer hold that stance.

Lauren said...

aaaah... still doesn't make sense.
i agree, but my parents are convinced i'm going to get raped, killed, blown up, and then cut into little pieces and eaten by a Japanese terrorist. Just minus the Japanese part.

Matt Wilson said...

whats your philosophy on cussing by the way? I find it to be an incredibly stimulating (hahaha) topic.

Lauren said...

oh not this again... why is this topic so rampant among christians?

Matt Wilson said...

I dunno are you tired of discussing it? I didn't know it was rampant, I think its kind've taboo really.

Lauren said...

well, i'm not really tired of it, but it seems it's what people are talking about a lot. That's what we'd get in sunday school all the time. :P

Matt Wilson said...

get what in sunday school?

I don't swear not because it says so to not to in the Bible, but because I find it, in most cases to be distasteful and uncivilized. makes you sound kinda stupid if you do it too much but can't say I don't enhance a sentence here and there with a spicy word. lol spongebob.

Matt Wilson said...

wow this post has 15 comments sweet! you must be pretty popular.

Lauren said...

lol.
we'd get lectured a lot on swearing in sunday school. it's like, um, thanks.
well, it does say somewhere in 1 thessaloniansish that you should clear your mouth of all filthy language (i love how preachy this sounds), but then i basically have nothing to say when i get really mad, so i obey that grudgingly.
lol, "spicy word" made me laugh really hard.

Matt Wilson said...

I'm actually looking that up right now, I like it how you don't even have to get up to find a bible here. like. theres one within 2 feet of you everywhere basically. kinda really awesome. well I can't find it in 1st thesalonians, but I" mreptty sure its the one about salt water and freshwater, and I studied that verse for a long time, and concluded that it only means cursing your brothers and praising GOd coming from the same way, so if I exclaimed a swear word, it wouldnot fall under that, but rather only when applied to people like, spicy word you! then it would. I dunno. I guess its still best not to swear in general. to be on the safe side. but. you know. I still don't say theres anything that explicitly bans it in the Bible

Lauren said...

i could look it up on biblegateway....psyche, it's colossians 3:8.

Matt Wilson said...

well there it is right in front of my face. I'll have to discuss this with the council of matt-jared-unofficial doctrine.

Lauren said...

you guys have started a cult?

Matt Wilson said...

^_- no. we just uhm. discuss Biblical stuff and uhm. you knwo share our thoughts on predestiination, calvinism, aborted babies souls, swearing and what not.

THe thing I have trouble with is "filthy language" is such a relative thing. like whats filthy? do we start at darn? dang? damn?
Glut? butt? ass? I dunno not much in the bible is relative because its so absolutely true. and filthy language is very relative to culture and dialect and what not. my mom grew up in texas and she said that people never said crap but always said shit and here its the other way around. the fact that is says language there and not words is also something, I think its speaking more to just duragatory (wow I actually do'nt know how to spell that...) things more than just select words. but I guess better safe than sorry still.

Lauren said...

hey, it never says anything SPECIFICALLY about transvestites but it says something about effeminates or something, so I guess Prince is in trouble.
I think it's derogatory.

Matt Wilson said...

well being a transvestite isn't really relative...but nvm...

Yes it all seems so clear once I see it written correctly.

Lauren said...

now if only they would comment on politics...
maybe that's somewhere in mark.

Matt Wilson said...

hahaha.
