I watched Taken tonight- really good movie! ..but it isn't like sex trafficking is something they just made up.. It's a huge industry today, right now, at this very moment. It just kinda opened my eyes to how real it actually is. It's sickening. In fact, there's a lot of things that sicken me. Isn't it great how most of us just all sit in our own little worlds, oblivious to what's going on across the street? ...And most of the time, even if we are aware, we choose to ignore the ugly truth and go on with our lives, always striving for the "american dream" and looking out for number one. I'm just tired of it all. I'm disgusted with myself, I'm disgusted with this country.. I'm disgusted with people who don't care.
And what's the point of celebrities anyway? They're just people. They breath the same air we do. They get paid millions of dollars a year so the "regular" people like you and me can place them on pedestals and scrutinize their every move from what kind of starbucks drink they are chugging down to how they raise their children to who has cellulite or not. You name it, it's in the tabloids. And it sells! The American public would much rather hear a whole bunch of sugar-coated, pointless garbage over what is really going on in the world today.
And it sucks.. because I fit in to that category. I'm materialistic, I take for granted the roof over my head and the car that I drive and all the love that surrounds me 24/7. and I'd much rather hear sugar-coated pointless garbage over children being sold for sex.
How do we change this? How do we make people less selfish and care about the world around them.. so much so that they too are burdened for change? Sigh. This world needs God. I need God. I can't do anything without Him.
And I'm so frustrated right now! I have all these different thoughts whirling around in my head about so many different things and I just can't get them out so they all make sense.. If I even tried to explain it you would think I was a crazy person.
I don't even want to try and finish.. I'm too tired haha.
I used to be a good writer.. I used to make good points! And tie them together! And my conclusions? superb!
...I'm sure I'll get more off my chest later.
p.s.
easter is tomorrow.. what a wonderful time to thank God for all he's done for us, for sending His son to sacrifice himself for our sins (and Jesus didn't have to!), and then to raise again, to live with us forever! Life truly cannot get any more real than God's never ending love for us- I was thinking the other day about how much God really does love us- how he doesn't love just me, but he loves my crazy neighbors, he even loves people I that I have a hard time tolerating- and he loves us all the same. It just blows me away about how bad we can screw up and blow God off for silly things- but yet, he still desires us, he still wants us, and he doesn't care about the past. If anything, He only loves us all the more.

if anyone has any ideas on how we can help change the world, or how anything I want to do with my life.. like taking pictures or designing things or becoming a professional blogger (that one's new.. not blogging like this, but about other things (: ) etc has anything to do with changing the world, let me know. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

..not only are we getting a well dug, we're gonna send shoes to guatemala for kids who aint got none, AND raise money to buy somebody a car! ..It's still not enough. I want to do more!

I know after all this rambling it's not really that important baha... but bangs?
