Toby Keith says he’s a Democrat…what? Not only that, but he’s supporting Barack Obama in the coming presidential election. Wait…WHAT? I’m so confused!!!!

This is the guy that wrote the September 11th response song called “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American).” Here are some of the very democratic lyrics:

“Now this nation that I love/Has fallen under attack/A mighty sucker punch came flyin in/
From somewhere in the back/Soon as we could see clearly/Through our big black eye/
Man, we lit up your world/Like the 4th of july”

“Justice will be served/And the battle will rage/This big dog will fight/When you rattle his cage
And youll be sorry that you messed with/The u.s. of a./cause well put a boot in your ass
Its the American way”

The song is littered with those sorts of sentiments. Keith claims the song was “…was more patriotic than pro-war.” Um…we’ll put a boot in your ass, it’s the American way…that sound pretty damn pro-war to me.

Not only does Keith sing songs like this, he’s also the spokesperson for Ford trucks…you know, the HUGE ones with low gas millage that you see barreling down the street taking up a lane and a half just to get through…yeah, those. I mean, I know not all democrats are “green crusaders” so to speak, but they at least THINK about the environment every so often.

I’m all for Keith supporting Obama…if it’ll bring in some conservative voters to go the Obama route, more power to him. I just am pointing out a few inconsistencies that I see…I could be completely wrong here. I’m willing to admit that, I’m just not convinced.

POO!!! POO!!!! POO!!!!!!

This is NOT okay with me…I am NOT well pleased!  I’ve been looking forward to that!  *sad face*

Stupid money making movie producing bastards.  Who cares if you want more money - I want more Harry Potter!!  Jerk heads…

You know, many many many things in this world would be so much better, so much more pure and enjoyable if money was not involved.  Money always comes in and screws everything up!!!!!  Just think how much better life would be, how much any experience would be enhanced if it wasn’t attached to stupid pieces of green paper type things!

People are in poverty because of money…

People are greedy because of money…

People are spoiled because of money…

People kill over money…

People die for money…

The whole world revolves around it.  Experiences that everyone should be allowed to have and enjoy are not available to everyone because they lack the funds to do it - basic human freakin’ rights!!!!!!

This has gotten way off the topic of Harry Potter…don’t worry, I’m not THAT upset about a movie.  I’m angry, but it’ll pass.  This really has to do with the fact that the world is screwed up and needs to be changed.  Problem is, there’s really nothing that can be done for it.  We live in a messed up world, and it would seem for the time being, it’s the best we can do.

Hank discovered the question to the ultimate answer of life, the universe and everything!!!!!!!

My good friend Abbey was in town this past weekend for the Terminus Convention - yup, that’s for Harry Potter! I went down to hang out with her on Friday and had an awesome time, helping her look for her dueling partner, cruising through the vendor booths, and going to the Wizard Wrock concert at Reggie’s Rock Club that night to hear some wizard bands. It was a ton of fun, and I hope to be able to go to Leaky Con next spring myself!

At the concert was this guy, Hank Green. He and his brother have this project called “Nerd Fighters.” He sang a couple of his Harry Potter inspired songs. They were awesome. I post here the one called “Accio Deathly Hallows”, written just before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released. Enjoy!

And just for a bit more nerdiness (like I needed it!), here is another of his songs with a Star Trek theme called “What Would Captain Picard Do?”

JUSTIN HAS BEEN ACCEPTED TO SEMINARY!!!

Last Friday (July 25th) Justin got his acceptance letter to Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago! He will begin classes in the Fall of 2009. We didn’t have any doubts he’d get in, but just having the letter and knowing for sure that he’s on the path to becoming a pastor is a huge relief! Now we just need to prepare ourselves for this big life change, oh, and try to save some money for it! BTW - will will be starting a “Help Justin Survive Seminary” fund, you are all welcome to donate to the cause!

Head on over to Justin’s blog and leave congratulations for him, or leave a message here, he’ll see that as well! Thanks to all of those who have offered their encouragement and support over the last few months as we were making this decision and going through the steps towards his goal! We’ll keep you updated!

Hey all…just thought I would post up the link of Justin’s sermon from this past Sunday. We did a “Creation Sunday” at church, planned by the band I’m in. It was inspired by the “Camp Sunday’s” at my home church where we’d sing camp songs and do skits and come in camp attire. I thought it was time we brought a little camp to the city! We sang some favorites of mine from Good Earth Village and had the kids come sit up front on picnic blankets and sleeping bags. Our original plan was to be outside in the courtyard, but due to rain and wet conditions, we had to be inside.

Justin preached on Joel 1:8-10, 17-20. It was very powerful. I was so proud of him :-D. Check it out, leave a comment, whatever! You can also head over to Justin’s blog and leave him an encouraging note.
