Anticlimaticism

The one true religion/life-philosophy...probably not so much a religion.

climax-a thrilling event that changes the course of your life. the high point of action in a novel. or something like that.

We believe in an eternity.
We believe that everything that is happening has happened before.
We believe that exterior forces will not cause you to change your life.
We believe that you cannot change yourself from within.

Life is a series of quests. When you complete one you move on to the next--a smooth transition.

Ever since the beginning of time all the forces in the universe have been building up to a certain event, but due to the heat death of the universe, that event will never happen.
The universe will never suffer its heat death
At least not wile we're around

So what happens to us when we die? We go to heaven, of course! And gosh knows nothing new will happen once we're there.

So if you don't experience climax in this life, you sure as hell won't get it in the next one.

So, what's so great about climax anyway?
The universe is always changing, always building up, so we have both everything and nothing to look forward to.

My life is anticlimatic.
Is yours?

up next: climaticism---the gospel!!!

Major Events

Yeah, so here are some of the things that have been going on in my life right now.

I got a job. I work at Ocean Beach Fries. I really like my job, and further, I think that it is the perfect job for me, coming at just the right time.

I decided to audition for Celebration Iowa, some kind of show choir/jazz band thing. If i get in, it would be all summer long. I hope that turns out well.

I'm captain of the Mock Trial team, and our competition was yesturday. There was so much for me to do, and I've really been working hard on this for a long time, so I'm really glad that we finally had the competition. I feel like the team was really able to pull itself together and do a good job. Because we went up against two really advanced teams, we will not be going on to the playoffs.

I'm doing really poorly academically right now. It's just hard for me to keep up with everything. I'm failing European History, the class from Hell.

that's about it right now.

*peace*

My Dream

I have a brother.

Ben.

My brother and I had a plan.

The plan is simple:
A road trip.

We'll take a road trip to all the places we ever dreamed of.

RHYMES WITH PAIN: MAINE, SPAIN, AND NORWALK.

The Maine, Spain, Norwalk trip.
It'll be great.

We'll get to meet Stephen King!
And see a bullfight!
And...visit...norwalk...?

If anyone would like to come along, please let me know.

We WILL go.

It's my dream.

A Very Happy New Year

I kinda wanta keep postin' on this thing. I might have a for-true and real blog ready in a while. For now I will just type the crazy things that come into my mind as I type them.

My favourite movie is Moulin Rouge, and I was watching highlights from it today. I'm gonna watch it tonight with my mother, because she has not seen it.

The new year's eve bash that I went to was a murder mystery/sleepover. good times. Have you ever done a murder mystery? It's great, you get to act out this great big scandolous thing and then try to figure out, out of all the people that really wanted to kill the guy, who actually did? Than, after all the guys went home we watched hairspray. The plot was...yeah. But I thought it was really fun...fun. And I guess it had a good message.

I...forgot what I was gonna say.

School starts up again tomorrow, and next week is finals. I'm scared sh**less, but I think I'll be okay. Won't I?

1:11AM

Last night I was awake past midnight. At around one o'clock I remembered that somebody told me once that if you stayed awake until 1:11, you could make a wish. I decided that that's exactly what I would do.
At 1:10, I began to panic. If you're going to make a wish, you have to have a wish in mind. But I was drawing a blank. I was almost there, but then the clock turned, and it was 1:11.
A million things went through my mind. I made wishes for myself. I made wishes for my friends. I made wishes for material things. I made wishes for abstract things. I wished to fix the world, for the world not to be broken anymore.

The very last thing that went through my mind before the clock turned to 1:12 was, "I wish for God to be on my side."

What does that even mean?

God doesn't move. He won't move. He's everywhere all the time, he's unchanging, unchangable...and he's got his plan.
If anything, I should be wishing to for myself to be on God's side.
What does that take?
Is it something that you need to wish for?

And why am I so reluctant?
