My first piercing were my ears at the age of 16 – two years earlier than I was allowed to have them pierced – Yay!
And ever since then I’ve just been adding more and more and more and more.
Obviously I have no problem with piercings although I WILL say that just recently I took one out. Mostly because I hated it and thought it looked trashy but secondly because I had a conversation with Jordan at camp about what our first impressions of eachother were and he said that he thought I was scary because of all my piercings.
That’s definitely not how I want to come across! Buuuuuuut, it’s not a reason I’d probably take out my piercings hahaha…..I guess in the future, it might prevent me from getting anymore although, I really am actually getting bored of just being pierced in general!
I have the same stance on tattoos except I’m never getting one only because I have a short attention span and no sooner would it be done than I’d want it removed again so, I’m happy with the temporary tatts for now! But if I did happen to get one (which as I said, is not likely but just out of curiosity) I’d probably get one on the top of my foot or somewhere near my ankle, of what, I don’t know!
The partying thing is not for me. I don’t have really great dance moves and my body doesn’t move the way some people’s bodies do and therefore I just can’t be stuffed with it. Nor am I a conversationalist therefore trying to talk with someone, especially over the loud ooncy ooncy music, and having awkward conversation every 5 seconds isn’t my idea of fun, in fact, it bores me perhaps because I don’t do drugs either! However, I love a good barbeque where people can chat and mingle or even some karaoke at the local pub/bar. I’m more about having a good time with people rather than trying to impress them.
The alcohol thing is something I’m still trying to figure out. See for me, I don’t have a problem with it. But then again, I also don’t think that being drunk is all it’s cracked up to be, nor do I want to put myself into an altered state of perception like that. I like to be able to make my own decisions and not be so unconscious where you’re open to anything happening to you.
The last time I was drunk was in 2003 and since then, I have decided not to become like that again, just because I don’t want my mind to be open to anything and everything.
I am still a social drinker but have even been questioning this recently. Not that I think alcohol is wrong, but I am constantly around young people. The message I try to tell young people is ‘don’t drink alcohol at least until you are the legal age to drink’, but if I drink socially, it looks TO THEM like I am saying, ‘you can’t drink, but I can’ and so to avoid any sort of confusion, I’m thinking maybe I should just not drink altogether so I can teach young people about responsible drinking without getting the message confused!
Clear as mud?
I’m still deciding how to approach that one!
I guess I’m definitely NOT a salvo when it comes to alcohol! I respect and completely understand their positional statement on alcohol but it’s not my own personal conviction.
Like drugs, it’s also a substance which your body doesn’t need, and obviously alcohol affects the liver, just as fast food affects your heart so therefore, I believe that drinking in moderation is acceptable. There is no reason to become drunk though. Even if you drink to ‘take away the pain’, your problems will still be there when you sober up! Unless you want to drink yourself to death, which by all means, be my guest, your pain isn’t going to go away, so might as well deal with it sensibly! If you drink to isolate pain, see a counsellor, that’s what they’re there for! And if you’re one of those people that doesn’t know when to stop, then stay away from alcohol altogether – social drinking will never be your thing!
Whether it’s the hardcore stuff like meth, ecstasy or heroin, or just the ‘soft’ stuff like weed etc, I don’t do drugs. It’s that simple. I never have and I never will. It’s a substance that your body doesn’t need to process and apart from cigarettes, they’re illegal to people over AND under 18!
There's a couple of lines out of a song called Jesus Freak, which is an old song which most people have heard that i want to blog, it's not the whole song just the cool lines i picked out of it!
Jesus Freak Separated, I cut myself clean From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams Been apprehended by a spiritual force And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced
What will people think When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak What will people do when they find that it's true I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak There ain't no disguising the truth [There ain't no disgusing the truth] [I don't need to hide it... The truth]
Kamikaze, my death is gain I've been marked by my Maker A peculiar display The high and lofty, they see me as weak Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek
I don't feel I need to explain myself on these topics but for those people who don't understand Christianity or for people who think Christianity 'clouds' my judgement or opinions on things this is just a brief overview of things i believe in and why.
Sure, there are some things that Christianity plays a part in how i think but other things, i just don't like it - nothing to do with God, it's just me, plain, simple, don't like it!
So over the next couple of days/hours, I will endeavour to write a blog on what I believe.
I was originally just going to make this one big fat blog but concluded that no-one would get past the first belief thingy so in an effort to hold your attention, I chopped it up into parts…..
Christianity aka 'Religion' To be a Christian means to practice Christianity aka being a disciple. If you don't know what Christianity or disciple means then look them up. I'm not here to give you a word for word account of the dictionary but what i DO want you to know is that religion encompasses EVERY faith. I'm only about ONE of those faiths.
So for anybody who doesn't like me because i am 'religious', PLEASE, do NOT insult me. Christianity is not about the religion in itself, it’s a relationship with Jesus Christ.
I aim to follow him, to become like him or die trying! If people can’t accept that this is what I believe and can’t maintain their friendship with me because of it, then so be it. My relationship with Jesus Christ is far more important to me than any relationship on earth. I’d rather be in a relationship with someone, friends, dudes, family, that respect my relationship with Jesus than in a relationship with someone which it bothers so much!
That being said doesn’t mean I’m not going to take the time to listen to people, it doesn’t even mean I am going to judge someone else because of the decisions they make – it’s their life, their beliefs – it just means I have my own feet already planted in a living man (Jesus Christ) and an eternal hope and future which no other ‘religion’ offers to me!So if you don’t enjoy Christianity and think it’s not for you that’s your decision to make and I respect that. But don’t label me religious, rather, if you have to label me at all, label me a follower of Jesus Christ and fit THAT into a sentence of why you don’t like me!
