Merry Christmas????

I know it's kind of late right now, but I just got home from Christmas shopping with my parents about an hour to about two hours ago. All I can say is that it caused so much aggravation. By the time we got to the mall I wanted to bang my head up against the wall.

The first thing that happened, that went wrong was the fact that's really raining out. Usually I don't like to be in a really crowded place when it's raining, because a lot of people are afraid of driving and make me nervous when they don't know what they are doing. The biggest example of this that I have from today is the fact that my dad drives a Suburban, which is not too small, and he had a small car speed up towards him because they wanted the parking space. The best part is that my dad had already had his blinker on about a minute before the car even showed up. That was not such a great start for this whole day of shopping.........

Next stop; Target. I bought something for my brother's fiance and overall, I was pretty happy about that. My mom had gotten some stuff for my other brother and I was carrying for her. We got into line with my dad and all of a sudden we notice the woman in front of us. We were in an express lane and we had maybe nine items, and the woman in front of us had at least thirty things. I'm not trying to complain, but I thought it was ridiculous because she had no idea what she was keeping other people from doing as that moment instead of waiting in line. Someone could have been home with their kids or family, or doing something, instead of being there, waiting in line. My last stop of tonight though was the best; we went to Wawa.

My dad asked me if I would like a cup of coffee and since I love the stuff of course I agreed to it. There was a girl about my age (around 17) and she was short of money and had to go back to the car to get her money. She came back with three more singles and she already had a ten. The total amount came to thirteen dollars and change, so she forgot about the change. My dad didn't realize it, but he said he would have given her the dollar......... I think that's what Christmas should be about; giving, not receiving.

I know that sounds really corny and it is a use and over used cliche, but I believe it. My parents are always happy about what any of us gets them. They just are happy to get anything. It has been passed down to me as well. Ever since I learned how to write my parents have always told me to make a list of ten things that I wanted for Christmas, and if I went over that, number them from the ones I wanted the most to the least. Now that I'm getting older, I hate to ask for anything...... This year, I had such a tough time making a Christmas list. When I finally thought for about two hours straight I hit nine things and couldn't go any further. I really do enjoy shopping for other people though. I'm into giving more than receiving, because I love feeling good when a person opens up a gift and has such a smile that makes me feel good about myself. There's only a couple more days until Christmas and I hope that this vacation turns out to be a good one.

For those who celebrate Christmas: MERRY

Scenario

The name of our character is Chad Alexander.

The scene starts out with him speaking on his cell phone to his girlfriend. He is a handsome, brown-haired guy, and is twenty-six years of age. He is also dressed in an expensive business suit. He is one of those guys that are rich because his father is rich. He is also a very pompous and arrogant individual. He is in his gold painted (literally) Mercedes. Overall, he is not a person that has morals and fate takes a turn on him for the worst. He is on a highway and is making his way to a restaurant, during his lunch hour. As he is speaking on the phone there is a dump truck that flies through a red light and crashes into his car. He awakes in total darkness…

When he awakes, he searches his body to make sure that he isn't hurt anywhere. The next thing he thinks about is where his "beautiful" car is. Then there is a dim light that appears from a far distance away, which has a booming voice. The voice asks him whether he thinks he should go to heaven or not, but before he has the chance the voice begins to bring up his ugly past. The voice speaks of his past and how he was not a good person during his whole life. He fired a pregnant widow who needed to keep the job in the office, in order to support her child. Chad fired her and replaced him with his arrogant, rich, friend, who did not need the job. The voice explains how he never truly gave with his heart, and if by some miracle he decided to help out, he would expect more in return, as a result. Because of his selfish actions throughout his life, the voice left him in the darkness.

In the background you can hear a crackling of fire, and loud screams of the people that have already been condemned. Chad becomes paranoid, because he is not so sure about what his future will be. After the voice left, there are decaying hands that slowly appear and are grasping at the ground, making scratching noises. The decaying hands finally catch up to Chad and begin to pull and drag him across the floor. As he is trying to break himself free from their grasp, he is unsuccessful and is pulled into the fiery, inferno of Hell.

Theme of this script; what comes around goes around.

A Little of My Reasoning

My favorite motto;

"There is a reason for everything!!!"

I truly believe that when something happens, that you think you don't deserve, there is a reason for it. It actually goes back to making mistakes and then you're supposed to learn from them.

Have you ever hear about that one before?

Well...... here's what I believe about it.....

I believe if you are going to learn something you had to do something wrong in your life to get something out of it. For example, wisdom comes from knowledge, and knowledge comes from learning, and learning comes from making some sort of mistake and taking action on it. Understanding gets stuck in there somewhere too. Ignorant people are those who don't understand and that don't even have any kind of knowledge to back what they're saying . Understanding only comes from having wisdom from learning and knowing how to use those two things in day to day life. I know my thinking process is kind of annoying because I have a tendency to think in small bursts but I'll explain them all together.

Ignorance comes from a lack of wisdom, in turn from a lack of knowledge and it creates a chain reaction to the mistakes that someone has never learned from.

Learning comes from making mistakes and finding some sort of moral lesson about them. Once you got a hold of one thing, you no longer really make mistakes in that area and they are increased in other areas of your life.

Knowledge comes from the learned information that you are able to hold.

Wisdom comes from knowledge.

Overall, understanding comes from using those three major things together. So if you lack one, it damages the resulting effect.

If you understand everything that I have written, that's great, and if not leave me a post and I'll reply explaining. I though I'd let everyone have a change to get into my brain for once, since many people have a problem understanding my thought process. Anyway, I should have another post up by later on tonight or tomorrow.
