Dance with the Devil by Immortal Technique

The message to the song is pretty morbid, but it gets the word out. It’s a true story, if you can ignore all of the swearing you’ll be alright. I don’t support what they did in the story, but I support what he’s trying to say, which is, to ignore the Devil if he ever asks to dance with you, because your dance with the Devil may last forever.

Immortal Technique has some songs that actually have a really good message to them. Too bad he swears so often.

I don’t know what to say about the video this time, but I like the song. and the happy ending for the couple is pretty good too. I didn’t really appreciate how they incorporated angels, Heaven, St. Peter, God and Jesus. it was pretty unnecessary. But who am I to judge right?

S.E.X by Lyfe Jennings Feat. LaLa Brown.

Lyfe Jennings is so talented. I love how his music and the messages they hold are so captivating. This song is one example of course. This song is just AMAZING. I LOVE it. (; listen to the message, and then I’m pretty sure you’ll agree with me. if noot, then it’s your decision. I’m not making you choose whether to like it or not.

Translation: I don’t want you not to like [love] me. I like [love] you very, very much.

Juust saaying. (;

So I know I’ve been kind of stuck up and out of it lately, but I don’t mean to be. I really miss you if you haven’t noticed. I miss having someone to talk to, I miss being around your smiling face. I even miss the way you would make fun of me. I don’t know about you, but I feel bad that we’ve drifted. I don’t like missing you. I just want to be a part of your life again… Do you think that’ll be okay?

So, as I was saying about the message from today, there are many kinds of love. Love in the English language is way to broad. It’s not specific. You have different kinds of love, like how you love a friend, how you love your family, how you love your husband or wife, how you love a sport or inanimate object, etc. We have platonic love, familial love, relationship love, puppy love, etc. The Greek language has three different kinds of love, which we learned about today.

They are:

• Agápe (αγάπη agápē) means “love” in modern day Greek, such as in the term s’agapo (Σ’αγαπώ), which means “I love you”. In Ancient Greek, it often refers to a general affection or deeper sense of “true love” rather than the attraction suggested by “eros”. Agape is used in the biblical passage known as the “love chapter”, 1 Corinthians 13, and is described there and throughout the New Testament as sacrificial love. Agape is also used in ancient texts to denote feelings for a good meal, one’s children, and the feelings for a spouse. It can be described as the feeling of being content or holding one in high regard.

• Éros (έρως érōs) is passionate love, with sensual desire and longing. The Modern Greek word “erotas” means “(romantic) love;” however, eros does not have to be sexual in nature. Eroscan be interpreted as a love for someone whom you love more than the philia, love of friendship. It can also apply to dating relationships as well as marriage. Plato refined his own definition: Although eros is initially felt for a person, with contemplation it becomes an appreciation of the beauty within that person, or even becomes appreciation of beauty itself. It should be noted Plato does not talk of physical attraction as a necessary part of love, hence the use of the word platonic to mean, “without physical attraction.” Plato also said eroshelps the soul recall knowledge of beauty, and contributes to an understanding of spiritual truth. Lovers and philosophers are all inspired to seek truth by eros. The most famous ancient work on the subject of eros is Plato’s Symposium, which is a discussion among the students of Socrates on the nature of eros.

• Philia (φιλία philía) means friendship in modern Greek. It is a dispassionate virtuous love, a concept developed by Aristotle. It includes loyalty to friends, family, and community, and requires virtue, equality and familiarity. In ancient texts, philos denoted a general type of love, used for love between family, between friends, a desire or enjoyment of an activity, as well as between lovers.

Agápe love is like the kind of love GOD has for us. This is the kind of love that married couples should have.This love would withstand anything. This is the kind of love that means, I’ll do anything to make you happy.

Éros love is erotic love. This is considered the sexual kind of love.

Philia love is the love that means, I’ll love you as long as you love me. This could refer to friends, it could refer to lovers, etc.

If you combine all the kinds of love, you have a love that could withstand anything.

Love is the best kind of feeling there is. but no matter what, you should remember. God is love. Love is God. God is life, without him, we wouldn’t have a life.

So, today in church we had a message that talked about love. What I love about special holidays like today, although it’s overrated, is that I can understand the message that’s being told.

I’m sorry for being religious and everything, but I’m just being who I am. and I really wanted to quote my favorite bible verse:

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous;

love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly;

it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,

does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails…But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7,13

I got this stuff from an article, I thought I’d share it with you guys so you can understand the verse better. (:

Love is patient,
True love is unconditional, that is, it does not depend on the attributes or lack thereof of the person loved, therefore, it is willing to give as much time necessary, and as much space as necessary for that person to grow.

love is kind and is not jealous;
Love seeks to give others something of benefit for their welfare, and consequently, rejoices when they do benefit.

love does not brag and is not arrogant,
To lift one’s self up in reference to others leaves no room for unconditional, graceful love.

does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own,
To act inappropriately, shamefully (morally, especially in the area of sexual purity) is not in accordance with true love. Love never seeks it’s own gratificaiton but rather the interests of others.

is not provoked,
Selfishness seeks to manipulate others by stimulating certain selfish emotions. Love will not do this to others, nor will it let it happen to itself.

does not take into account a wrong suffered,
Forgivenss. Let it go. Bitterness is the acid. You are the container. Get rid of it or it will kill you.

does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
Love does not somehow gloss over things that are going to be hurtful. True love originates from the truth.

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
If love really is unconditional, it will hold any weight, face any doubt, persist through hopelessness, and last any trial

Love never fails…
If it did, would it be love?

But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Someday, faith will not be needed, for we will see God. Hope will not be needed, for when everything is fulfilled, there is no need for hope. But love, yes, to it there will be no end. If it did, it wouldn’t be love.

Part 2 is gonna come soon. Just keep yourself updated for part two (;

I’m just wondering, if couples have their own special day why can’t single people too ?!

So, today’s Valentine’s day. Big woop. Many people get caught up in this holiday that’s apparently supposed to be about love and sex and pretty things. It’s also known as the “couples holiday”. But what about those people who aren’t showy with their relationship? What about the people who are single? People have become so used to this commercial holiday that we tend to get our hopes up.

Women, females, girls, whatever you wanna call us, have gotten used to the idea of getting roses and a box of chocolates on this day. We sometimes think about the perfect proposal happening on this day, the perfect date, the perfect whatever. Expectations arise, along with hopes and expenses. We see all these movies and get a picture in our head of “perfection” and we want that. badly. We see teddy bears, chocolates, roses, cards and whatever else you may think of on shelves of many different stores. Sex is sold today as well. Married couples, or even couples altogether are at times, put under pressure to do something today, anything with their significant other.  All these articles of how to make your relationship better, how to “spice up” your sex life, whatever. I find it all so stupid.

Guys, men, males, whatever you want to call them, have pressure put on them by their spouses, girlfriends, or even the girl they’re crushing on. They’re somewhat expected to buy roses, chocolates, jewelry, cards, whatever, you name it. But what if they don’t get roses, good kinds of chocolates, pretty jewelry, romantic cards, spend excessive amounts of money trying to impress us girls? It’s hard for men to always do the “romantic gesture” because sometimes, we females, don’t tell them what we want. we hint, but to be honest, what guy knows EXACTLY what we want? They don’t have supernatural powers that help them read minds, so why get all upset on them and ourselves if we don’t get what we expected?

The media puts all these images in our heads that tell us “THIS is what you want today, if you don’t get it, you won’t be happy”. It’s stupid. But what about the non-traditional couples, the people who are single? Single people can have it hard today, because today is the day where we see all these couples together, holding hands, kissing and spending time with each other. Subconsciously, we see that and we yearn for it. Companionship is something that we were created with. And today is the kind of day where we see it, and if we don’t have it, we want it and we get upset because we want it and we don’t have it. It’s terrible.

But just because today is overly commercialized and cliché, it’s a day where we can tell the people we love that we love them. We have a day where we can tell our friends, family, and whoever, that we care. Just because today is supposed to be a day of roses and romance, doesn’t mean that we have to fall for what the media lets us believe. Today is a special day, but not because of what we are told it is about. It’s special because we have a chance to tell the people we care about how we feel. Today is a day where we are able to express our feelings and emotions, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that we have to buy into what the media says. Do what you want today, have fun, but most of all, tell the people you love that you love them. Make today a special day, not according to what others tell you to do, but according to what you believe is the right thing. Maybe you’ll end up lowering your expectations about today for good.

Have fun today, take care of yourselves and do what you want. I’m not trying to offend anyone, but I’m once again, just stating my opinion. What do you think about today? What’s your opinion on this “Hallmark holiday”?

I’m sorry for hurting you. Sorry for being a terrible person when you most needed me. I was scared. I was scared of showing weakness. I didn’t know what to do, so I just ran. I ran away from you because you deserve better. You deserve someone who can help you, someone who knows what to say in tough situations. I’m not a good person. I’m not worth your friendship. I hurt you, and I’m sorry. I really wish I could be there to support you and help you through this, but I can’t. I wouldn’t know what to say, I’d just hurt you more, or even worse, I’d try to help but things don’t work out. Then you’ll finally realize that I’m not the person you thought I was, and you’d hate me for it. I care about you, and I just want you to have a better life. They say all this stuff about the difference between good friends and best friends, but they don’t always say the stuff about how friends sometimes do the things that hurt the most, to help the other friend(s) heal. I’m sorry I hurt you, but it was for the best… You’re doing better now, no thanks to me. Please forgive me for hurting you.

Fallin For You - Colbie Caillat

Everything these days seem to come at price. There are people who treat you rudely because you have done nothing for them. It’s as if everything is reliant on the terms, “An eye for an eye.” Since when did I have to pay you just because I want you to be nice?

Take for example a sales associate. How many teenagers have been snubbed by these people. Please, what have I done to you. You would not have your job if consumers did not buy anything from your store. Do you want repeat business? It doesn’t seem like it. Your paycheck if fueld by profits from your store. No business equals no profit equals no job.

I hate it when some people say, “It’s not like she/he ever did anything for me.” I understand it if you’re referring to a terrible friend. But if a stranger needs help, why not help? It’s only human to do so. Even if it’s just an aquaintance, you need to start somewhere. If you help this person out, imagine the good karma that will come towards you. At least, if you ever need something you have someone you could run to.

I hate it even more when people say that about someone they’re trash talking. Yes, that person did nothing to you. They weren’t mean and they weren’t nice. So why waste your energy. You start unecessary tension.

Nice isn’t an obligation. Nice isn’t a gift. It’s just a human characteristic that’s become lost. It’s a lost art. You never know what being nice could do for you.
