What's on your mind? (Status Updates)

I think we all feel like that at one point or another :unamused: . But I know how you feel. Just try to pick out the good stuff :wink: . That might make it a little more bearable.

Hey :smiley: ! This video has been my most resent source of fascination and entertainment. It’s amazing how well this dog is trained. I love it. And it’s a good song they set it too (I LOVE Owl City :smiley: ). And he’s a Husky/Shepherd mix! My favorite! What do you guys think?

How mind-blowingly awesome Cars 2 is going to be next summer.

I have Cars 2 on the brain yet again, too! I’m thinking about how I wanna watch the trailer again to catch all the little tiny details, but I’d rather not spoil myself…

My mouth hurts.
:unamused:

So last month was the 25th anniversary of the best musical ever- Les Miserables. They played it in London in the O2 arena, and some of the stars included Lea Salonga and Nick Jonas.

Anyways, they played the show in theaters across America. So my friend and I went. It was AMAZING! The best I’ve seen of Les Mis. My friend loved it! I wasn’t too crazy with the Nick Jonas or the actor who played Javert. But Lea Salonga was great, and so was the actress who was Eponine. [/i]

^ Which character did Nick Jonas play?

Happy birthday Mickey and Minnie!

^ NO WAY! How didn’t I know that??? :smiley:

How awesome Harry Potter and Tangled will be :smiley:

Jonas played Marius. He did an alright job. When he was a child he played Gavroche from Les Mis on Broadway, so it’s awesome that he’s returned to Les Mis. I wasn’t too impressed by his performance, however.

Well, someone hacked into my e-mail and sent out messages to my contact list saying that I was in London, that I was mugged, and that I needed people to send me $1450. So now I have to explain to all my friends what happened!

Holy cow, I didn’t know this! :smiley: Happy birthday, the two of you!

It annoys me when people want to talk to me on Facebook and they hardly say anything at all. :angry: Like, I’m the one who has to carry conversation and even when I do, they only say “cool ^_^” or “yeah”. (And it’s not normal for me to be the one carrying conversation in the first place so… yeah. Awkward!) Either that, or I write this entire block of text and all they say is “haha”… and it’s not even funny. :unamused:

Actually, as I’m writing this, I think the person I was just talking to just left me for no reason. :confused: And I swear I wasn’t writing anything offensive.

What else is on my mind? I gotta go grab a sweater or something because I am cold. At least my cat is trying to help keep me warm (he’s sitting on my lap). :slight_smile:

Oh, and uh… happy birthday, Mickey and Minnie! :smiley:

Uhhhhgg, that sounds terrible. I’ve heard of that happening before :frowning: I hope everything cleared up okay!

I am very confused. I have 5017 posts. I thought 5000=Super Hero, but I’m a Piston Cup champion. I’m not complaining, but I don’t understand. Can someone explain it to me? :frowning:

I went to see MegaMind today. I was pleasantly surprised.

My conversation with my dad after I saw it:
Me: It was surprisngly un-stupid.
My Dad: Are you saying you don’t like DreamWorks?
Me: We have a Love/Hate relationship.

A sixteen year-old kid killed himself in our community. And it doesn’t matter how many times you see teen suicide happen, it still hits hard… especially when it happens in your own community.

It’s… appalling. And heartbreaking. Just to think that someone could have so little value for the beauty and individuality of their young, precious life, and take it because they felt worthless. Maybe because there was no one to support them. Or simply because… there is no value for human life in today’s society. And they just felt like they weren’t worth living, or experiencing life, or growing up and starting a family.

I didn’t know this kid personally, but he came on one of our youth group trips several years ago, so I kinda had an idea of who he was. Even though I didn’t know him at all, still… man, this stuff really bothers me.

I’m truly sorry to hear that, little_chef. Life is a precious gift.

As a short aside, I read an analogy in a book which illustrated it beautifully: Imagine you start out as a spirit in Heaven, and you see this vast blue globe called Earth down below. You see people down there, and you want to join them. So you ask The Dude/Dudette, “I wanna go to Earth, and be among those people. I want to taste ice-cream on a warm sunny day, I want to experience the tears of my first heartbreak, I wanna lie under the stars with my soulmate, and feel the cool night breeze on our lips, I want to play with my grandkids on a hill as the sun sets on a truly glorious day. Let me go down to Earth.”

And The Dude/Dudette says “That’s cool. I’ll give you a ticket. But this ticket entitles you for 100 years, give or take how you live your life. It’s non-negotiable, you can’t exchange it with someone else. You can choose to exit at anytime, but once you do, you can’t go back in again. And if I feel like it, I can void your ticket and evict you back here, and again you can’t return. If you accept these terms, the chance of a lifetime is yours.”

This is life. No one decides for you what you want to do with it, or how soon do you want to hand back that ticket. The choice is entirely up to you.

I’m so sorry to hear that, little_chef!
:frowning:

That is extremely unfortunate, little_chef. I will be praying for this individual’s family, and hope their pain eases.

I am a history person, so obviously, the JFK assassination has been on my mind a lot today. President Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas 47 years ago on this date. I’ve been watching a bunch of JFK documentaries the past few days. The one I am watching right now is titled JFK: The Ruby Connection. Personally, I am part of the 25% of Americans that believe there was no conspiracy. This is always a difficult topic for me to discuss with people because, to quote Harry S. Truman, “The truth is all I want for history.”

That is what has been on my mind all day.

Ditto on that. :frowning:

Today marks 19 years since the death of Freddie Mercury. Of course, I wasn’t around when he was, but I’d give anything to go back in time and attend one of his concerts. What a showman. I feel pretty sentimental right now, so I think I’ll dig up some of their early music videos. Sometimes I can’t help but think I was born in the wrong era… :frowning:

Why am I a Piston Cup Champion? I thought 5,000 made you a Super Hero? Someone, anyone, help??? :question:

Can someone smart please answer me? I’ve posted this three times, now four. :frowning:
