Jesus is probably right

i have started mentally comparing "got jesus?" shirts to marilyn manson shirts. they are both statements about people who were very controversial, and one is just as likely as the other to convince on-lookers to join the band-wagon and get a jesus/manson of their own.
does this mean i don't love jesus, or that i think it is bad to wear an "I ♥ JC" shirt? no, of course not--it just means that if someone else tries to tell me that we should all wear shirts that only promote christian messages--i will likely call them marilyn manson, thus leaving them utterly confused and likely believing that i am a fan of the band. (MARILYN MANSON IS A BAND!) to be perfectly honest, i loved his cover of sweet dreams....even though annie lennox is like butter on ice to me (maybe it has something to do with my crazy attraction to older women, but her latest album makes me go good-crazy).

to be even more honest about my spiritual misgivings--i don't particularly care for it when people put "God" as one of their interests, or expertise or anything in the profile. i don't like it when people put scriptures as the sig at the end of an email and i don't like churches having crosses in their yard (hey, look--we killed jesus!). yes, this is a spiritual rant--i am tired of seeing emblems that are supposed to represent God. even when they are meant well. to me, and i think to others, they can come across as "holier-than-thou." i don't want to see jesu christo on a liscense plate---i want to see it in your life

So we're gonna be in a play together!

I don't use this word too often, but I'm SUPERPUMPED.

I know it probably sounds like a sixteen year old blond from Malibu, but it truly expresses how I feel.
