FREE IPAD GIVEAWAY!

conversation
Professor:You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
Student:Yes, sir.
Professor:So, you believe in God?
Student:Absolutely, sir.
Professor:Is God good?
Student:Sure.
Professor:My brother died of cancer, even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is God good, then? Hmm?
(Student was silent)
Professor:You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student:Yes.
Professor:Is Satan good?
Student:No.
Professor:Where does Satan come from?
Student:From.. God.
Professor:That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student:Yes.
Professor:Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student:Yes.
Professor:So who created evil?
(Student didn’t answer)
Professor:Is there sickness? Immortality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student:Yes, sir.
Professor:So, who created them?
(Student had no answer)
Professor:Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son.. have you ever seen God?
Student:No, sir.
Professor:Tell us if you have ever heard your God.
Student:No, sir.
Professor:Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God, for that matter?
Student:No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor:Yet you still believe in Him?
Student:Yes.
Professor:According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, Science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student:Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor:Yes, Faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student:Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor:Yes.
Student:And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor:Yes.
Student:No, sir, there isn’t.
(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events)
Student:Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of Heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was a pon-drop silence in the Lecture Theatre)
Student:What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor:Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student:You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light… But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called Darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, You would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor:So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student:Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor:Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student:Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor:If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes of course, I do.
Student:Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going)
Student:Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
(The class was in uproar)
Student:Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter)
Student:Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? .. No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable and Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable)
Professor:I guess you’ll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student:That is it, sir.. exactly! The link between man and God is Faith. That is all that keeps things alive and moving!

ha. Im beyond depressed. I`m avoiding everyone.. thought about killing myself ..sitting in the rain & wind on the road till 4.. trying to get a grip in life. I cried and cried, cried myself to sleep. I don’t want to eat or do anything.. I mean its good that its over and I can’t talk to him and he can’t talk to me.. I don’t even want to talk to him after he said he would fucking kill me.. I was kinda having a self destructing moment yesterday a few whip marks and a slight cig burn. aha hoping it would stop the pain temporarily. I m scared, I m scared i m going to do something stupid. I m avoiding my friends.. I don’t want to have the are you okay talk? what happened? I just don’t I m not ready for that its too exhausting so I m hiding. I don’t even know if he’ll say happy birthday to me, it would crush me if he didn’t and i m guessing he won’t… when the clock strikes 12.00 i’ll be left feeling shit.. i don’t even know if’ll i make it till my birthday. I smoked up too much and passed out for abit.. I don’t want to be living in reality.. I hate feeling like this. I mean I m happy they are trying to work things out and I m going to stay out of it so they CAN work things out but I just lost a close friend, someone i depend on so much and knows so mcuh about me.. I mean i wasn’t even a choice for him kinda hurts alot. but I respect wtever they want.. hes not allowed to talk to me..fine. i should prolly just kill myself so I won’t be a problem and he will never be able to talk to me again.

I posted a blog last time but it failed to upload.. Kinda forgot the content but.. yeah had a chillled night with some friends it was nice :) Anyways.. I m kinda worried how hes not actually going to tell her… I mean afterall its really not my place to tell her and it would hurt her more if she found out from me, but it just seems like hes like wasting time or like keeps waiting and waiting.. and I just really want to talk to her! and apologize and say wtever. I mean she is very innocent in this whole situation.. :S but I don’t know wt he wants to do.. argh!!! and I have no idea how these random ppl know about me and him like I REALLY don’t know how.. and I don’t want to keep telling him to tell her.. You know.. i’ve heard almost like 10 people say “oh she doesn’t love her” and I believe him, that he does love her and care about her I just don’t know if he knows wts love.. but I do believe she loves him. I mean I don’t know its been a year its not gonna be easy or anything but yeah I choose to believe him than other ppl.. which is probably not a wise choice haha. ANNNNDDD omg i’ve been having such bad luckkkkkkkk recently.. my mom finding out about EVERYTHING.. so strict.. now.. and i m so not used to it. ALL MY FAULT.. when i go to bed i’ll probably start being emo again.. I don’t regret him but the others I do.. and if i could take all of them back.. even him I would even tho i made so many memories with him and the wonderful amazing times we had together ..I just wish it could’ve been more.. more special and more worthy.. I mean i loved all of it but between all those moments there were so many doubts and depressed feelings and I felt so insecure.. the more I think about it I just wish I had waited.. waited for a guy who loved my.. loved me like i loved them.. and treated me with respect.. cliche but like a princess.. I don’t think he knows how much it means to me .. sex I know hes probably thinking ye ye those guys and all but in many levels I did it because of him.. wanting to get over him and thought it would help me move on.. but obviously not.. :S I mean I had some really great times with him but he never loved me hes still so young.. I M SO YOUNG.. but I need a MAN a gentleman.. I want to be taken care of and he needs me to ask him things and talk to him ask him how he feels wt hes thinking and its soo tiring.. and I would always feel i wasn’t enough.. and I AM i really am.. and he made me through out two years feel so worthless because he did so little for me.. if he wrote me a card I would be happy if he said hi to me I would be happy if he said goodnight with xx I would be happy but in reality these things are nothing I shouldn’t settle for things like that when it was his birthday I probably went out 3? 4? 5? times just to get him a present and hoping so hard he would like it.. and he never got me one.. and I really don’t think i m asking for alot.. but i know now its too late… I think I m over him but I just don’t know yet because I m so used to relying on him and wanting him that I ve beome comfortable with that feeling.. I don’t know or once again I m in denial I probably still love him it feels weird to say that cos I can’t possibly love him for how he treats me.. I mean I really do appreciate the things he do for me like taking me home before, watchin that movie with me, and others that I can’t think of.. but yeah I know he said his virginity meant something to him but it MEANT SO MUCH TO ME.. and I don’t want to say this because I enjoyed knowing him and having him so much but I wish I could take it back I wish he’d liked me more I wish I never had sex its ruined me soo much.. it really did and its soo bad… I just wished he understand me more.. I just wished he d care and like me more that when I said i wanted to meet him I really needed him but he wanted to go party PARTY! .. it just hurts me alil I mean my moms soo heart broken and I feel terrible, horrible and being in her place must hurt SO MUCH and i understand.. the way she was continuously screaming and shouting my name and crying and hitting herself feeling like such a bad mother.. I understand.. I mean sex is great but it should be worthy thats wt I should ask myself and to be honest he was worthy he was.. but I just can’t help to feel how something was missing and I want to feel that and knowing all this I don’t want his girlfriend to be in this position.. and her mother.. I mean the thing is it can’t be ended it can be avoided so why not.. she hasn’t done ANYTHING to deserve it. she doesn’t deserve him.. shes great.. shes young.. shes talented.. she should have someone that she deserves.. I mean he is a good guy don’t get me wrong but mistakes are mistakes and you get punished and learn from it.. and guess what I m actually getting punished…I really think god answered my prayers.. I mean its bad that my mom found out and I m soo hurt and depressed but its good I needed that.. and now i m getting punished.. but honestly I wish I could say if he offered to or ask for sex I could be confident and say no and if he asked me out I would say no but the truth is theres this part of me saying its worth it.. give it a shot… i mean its what i wanted for a long time and maybe .. maybe if it didn’t work out I could finally feel like I could move on.. at least he gave me a chance.. gave himself a chance.. I just wish it knew how it would feel if he knew he’d lost me that I disappeared or died. maybe it wouldbe nothing but if anything happened to him I would .. I don’t know wt I would do.. whenever he’s sad.. he makes me sad.. and I feel worse his sadness comes from me and its because of me.. and that time I saw him cry in our teachers funeral.. I couldn’t cry .. but when i saw him I bursted in to tears.. it hurt to see him hhurt.. I don’t know wt i m trying to say but I m just saying what evers on my mind.. I just hope he does the right thing.. Cos it seems like everytime someone gossips they’re like omg hes going on a trip with her to paris? and shes telling his parents hes goign to korea.. which I didn’t even know.. and it reminds me just how wrong this is and how he should tell her and stop being a fucking pussy and do what he shouldve done.. I mean I take responsibility of being the third person.. but what was he expecting once he cheated.. its done.. and I got soo lost in him that I thought it was okay.. I didn’t care about anything Ijust wanted him but I was soo wrong I made excuses for no reason to dislike her so I wouldn’t feel bad.. and shes nice.. doesn’t deserve this.. I just wish I never got involved it would be better if it was just them.. he says its worth it.. but clearly its not because its not worth it cos he doesn’t want to ruin his relationship .. and I get it but its whats right…

Thats from prom btw.
Herrow world. I m officially still up at 5 07, I can’t sleep again.. I feel kinda crap again.. but I do have something to be happy about.. the fact that he watched a movie with me was very nice.. although it was slightly awkward.. the fact that we haven’t been alone doing something else other than the usual i guess is normal.. But overall it was alright I was happy. We watched The A-Team AAAH bradley cooper, that bitch made out with him pff.. hahaha i got kinda confused at the end.. hm.. anyways yeah we didn’t talk much tbh I don’t know if its because he doesn’t have anything to say.. hes shy.. hes mad.. he confused.. he’s nervous of what? haha nevertheless I`m glad he came to watch that movie : ) I hope he feels better soon.. and I do too. My life is kind of a mess.. BIG MESS.. aaah i swear in the movie i was hoping something would happen i mean im happy it didn’t but i won’t deny i wasn’t hoping or imagining or encouraging myself to haha. but that wasn’t right soo it was good it was only in my mind hahaha anyways.. it’s 5 im gonna wait a few hours and grab breakfast haha ..kinda hungry.. Oh YES its my birthday soon too :) aaaah joy of being 18 happy happy me YES yes yes yes anyhoo I m gonna watch a movie..

I actually do feel pretty sucidal.. and when I do disappear from his life and I can’t talk to him anymore.. things will be even harder. Whenever he ignores me I feel like I m in hell.. I don’t think he’d ever understand.. maybe I should leave them alone afterall.. I’ll just let the guilt eat me up alive.. Its just I don’t know what to believe anymore.. I don’t know wheres the truth in the things he say.. he can be soo mean one second and be soo nice the next.. wts genuine? man… Ive really fucked myself up.. I stayed in bed all day wanted to drown in my sorrow… didn’t want to eat didn’t feel like anything.. now that hes gonna leave me.. I don’t know wt to do..
He just said can I leave him alone for few hours… I feel fucking shit………………..
fuck my fucking life seriously……
please forgive my swearing..
