Hey… I Know That Guy!

Has anybody else watched America’s Got Talent this season?  In particular last night?  Well you know the Elvis impersonator at the very end of the show.  He is friends with my mom’s cousin.  He performed for Randy’s birthday party back in February.  My mom called me from the party while the guy was singing so that I could hear him.  He is really good!  When she was getting off the phone with me, she told me "Love you, baby." like she always does.  Right then it had gotten really quite in the room, and "Elvis" looked at her and said, "Well I love you too."  LOL  Craziness. 

I was sitting here last night, and I just had the t.v. on in the background.  I heard them hyping up this last act, and I glanced at the television just when he came on stage.  I did a double take when I realized who it was.  If you want to know who I’m talking about go to THIS site.  He did a really good job on the show last night and has made it to the next round.  I’m excited to see how far he goes.  He’s pretty darn good looking if you ask me.  =)

Things have been pretty peaceful this week.  It’s been a nice change.  I’ve been doing pretty good at keeping my cool and not being so quick to jump the gun.  Tonight was the first night that I got frustrated with Jacob, and that was simply because he was being so difficult.  I don’t know what his problem was, but I did my best to just leave well enough alone.

I’ve also made an effort to not cuss so much.  It’s not an attractive habit to have, and I know that I’ve gotten really bad at times when it comes to dropping the f-bomb over and over again.  I did slip up a little bit earlier when Jacob was throwing his fit.  I stopped before it could escalate too far though.

I just realized I haven’t updated my current reading material in awhile.  I still haven’t read Ink Exchange.  I’ll read that after I’ve re-read the first three books of the Twliight series.  I just finished Twilight the other day.  I really love that book.  I had Jacob stop at Staples the other day and pick  up some page markers for me so that I could mark the pages with my favorite lines and quotes throughout the book.  Obsessive?  Maybe.  Do I care?  Not one bit.  =)  And now I’m reading New Moon.

I have a question.  Since when has it become a bad thing to love God?  I was reading an entry to a diary that has been on my favorite list for a little while.  She’s a fairly new person on my list, and so I’m not exactly attached to keeping her there.  In fact more than likely I’ll remove her.  Anywho… so the other day she wrote about a blind date that she had gone on.  She went on to rate her date and pretty much said that the guy’s downfall was the fact that he loves God.  How in the world is that a downfall?  And the sad thing to me was that other people leaving notes on her entry agreed with her.  I just really don’t understand.  Would it have been better if he worshipped the devil?

I guess people may or may not turn to God when they need Him the most.  His arms are always open and waiting though.

Anywhoozit.  Jacob’s sleeping in the other room tonight, so I have the whole bed to myself.  That’s always nice every once in awhile.  I’m going to sprawl out and read for a bit before I nod off to sleep.

Good night!

I don’t think believing in a higher power than yourself could ever be a bad thing. *shrug*

I don’t think believing in God is a bad thing. Maybe if someone was constantly shoving their beliefs down someone else’s throat, but the belief in God itself is not a bad thing, in my opinion anyway. I am starting Eclipse again. And I have been using little post it notes to remember pages and quotes I like. I am about to start highlighting. lol My fiance’ laughs at how obsessed I am with this series, but he is good about not making fun of me TOO much. 😉

Eh, it could be that she isn’t Christian and since they don’t share the same beliefs that it might make it harder since they’d have different ideals. I know I’m glad that Shawn isn’t a super devout Christian because he and I probably wouldn’t get along. We both believe in a higher power but not in organized religion. You get what I’m diggin? hahah

hey, i just came across your diary and am going through some of the same things. anyway, i think its definitely a case of her either not wanting to get preached at or feeling like they are incompatible. anyway, it is sad that some people totally close their minds to God, but He’ll work it out on his own timing. 🙂
