Merry Christmas

this is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite Christmas special:

Birthday Party of the King

Christmas trees are brightly lighted

Through the world the church bells ring

Great and small are all invited

To the birthday party of the king

Mighty King and humble peasant

Each must choose a gift to bring

Do you have a birthday present

For the birthday party of the King

Once wise man came in his Honor

Bringing innocence gold and Myrrh

But what is Gold to a ruler

Who has all the stars to hold?

Do you know what gift will please him?

Please him more then any thing?

Bring a heart that really loves him

To the birthday party of the king!

From the Stingiest man in town

just love the black and white

I have been in a mood lattly to watch some old movies. lucky for me my local liberary has a good silection of classic films. so in the last two nights i have watched

Wonderful film, and what really gets me, you never seenthe dead bodies. there are two dead bodies floating around on this movie but you never see them.

I did not reolize that it was THE Jack Nicholson at first. I enjoyed the mistory of this film and the twist. though the ending is very disopointing, I mean it just ends, however the ending works the thrid movie is:

all I can say is Humphy Bogart where have you been all my life? casablanca has gone on to my list of all time favorit movies.

I have to say though after watching a couple of black and white pictures I have found that I really enjoy the style of these pictures. sure they did not have color and well color is cool, but the way the shadows move and the glares are controled is amazing. maybe it is the same as why My art teacher in highschool said that he was not going to lose his dark room. I really like it, any way i have the original Mr, and Mrs. smith to watch tonight.

guesss what

I'M DONE WITH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that's all I wanted to say

it is offical

last night i gave my resignition to the Church board. after family camp i will no long be the youth and children's pater here at cornnerstone comunity church. I will be a full time graduate student.

a new fictional hot topic in christian circles.

I was thinking of posting something on the Golden Compass. I am interested to see that not only has this been a hot topic in Your Christan circles like harry potter, but also has made it's way into newspapers and on television.

Some may think this is just like the whole Harry Potter thing that happened and then died down because people actually read the books and realized that the books are about as dangerous as Star wars. However unlike Harry Potter these books are not just a story, they are meant to stand in opposition of the Chronicles of Narnia.

I read the first two books of the trilogy. the quality of writing is not the greatest, the subject matter is basically what you have heard from the debate. the author set out to create a anti-Narnia, and challenge all traditions particularly Christianity. it is in there, and and the author affirming in these statements.

this movie won't be that bad, nothing really happens till the second book.

all that being said, it actually has nothing to do with why i am not going to see the movie.
I actually was undecided for a while because I actually like the witches, they are pretty cool, but that was it. I latter thought well maybe I should see the movie just because of the hype. I mean if it is going to be the source of a new controversy maybe it would be good to watch it.

but I have decided that i am not going to see it. Not because it is evil, (the first book is not evil it is just setting the stage for the atheistic and agnostic themes), but simply because I didn't like the books, hence why i did not read the third book. I only read the second book because the first book ended well. by the end of the second book I thought the story was stupid and heretical and just not worth my time. (and i never thought that of any of the harry potter books even when I was on the anti harry potter side, or the DaVinci Code).

So watch it don't watch it what ever, I just wanted to give my opinion because I read the books and thought the story sucked. When it comes down to it if I only could watch one movie this month in theater it is going to be the new national treasure Movie.

December

well it is December. and guess what I woke up to snow this morning. Oh the beautiful and Gloriusness of snow. I love the snow, it is why i never want to live anywhere that it doesn't snow ever again. which is a little idealistic sence i am looking at moving to kentucky next year because this whole internet schooling sucks.



as for NaNoWriMo, sadly I failed. somewhere in chapter three of my novel things took a rabbit trail and i have no idea of where things ended up. However Because school work is lightening up and work is also slowing down I am giving myself one more week to make the dead line. it is a long shot but hey I am going to be positive that I will beable to finish.
