Jesus's Family Found

Alrighty, here's some interesting news.
Some say these have been sitting around for hundreds of years. They are saying that since the names on these are "common" for the time period, there's no way that these are representing the family of Jesus. I saw an interview with a guy who works in probability and he said it would be extremely rare to see these names grouped together. It's like getting "Paul" "John" "George" and all your missing is Ringo to know it's the Beatles. Except here, we've got all the different names you would need for it to be the family of Jesus. He said the odds of these names being grouped outside of the family of Jesus would be too rare. On March 4th at 9ET/PT they will have a documentary on the Discovery Channel. James Cameron put it together. (?) Some are saying he is doing this for money. James Cameron doesn't need any more money than he already has. I think James has good intentions.

MySpace no more!

Ok, I'm not using MySpace anymore. It is done. It used to be fun to use, it's still a good place to keep track of my friends, but I don't want to check it anymore.

Here's an update of things that have happened recently.
  • Last year I got my Bachelor of Arts in Music from SOU.
  • In the summer I was hired to work at SOU, which I still do.
  • I sing in a church choir for $200/month, and I LOVE it. =)
  • On New Years Eve 2006, Phil Springer proposed to me, which I accepted.
  • I've lived with Phil since June 2006, and we are very happy, and are blessed to have the most metal keet ever, Icarus. (He's a parakeet.)
As things go on I will post messages here. Hopefully I will get some readers. I expect anything from theories on where Atlantis might be to stubbing my toe on the fridge, you know, stuff like that.

What is going on in the world?

It seems to me that things just get worse and worse. Today I was on CNN.com and saw this article. http://www.cnn.com/2007/EDUCATION/02/27/self.centered.students.ap/index.html
I was part of this generation raised to think that I'm special, that I'm worth it, that the world should respect me, etc. The world isn't like that. So now we have a generation of kids who are completely obsessed with themselves and their myspace profile, and how many friends they have, and if they have the most friends somehow they are better, etc. It's disgusting. They all want to be movie stars and American Idols. How can we fix this problem? Why is beauty so important to us? Why do I feel like my hair has to be perfect everyday, that I need to be stylish, that if my clothes don't fit exactly right somehow I look bad to others. Why do I care about this crap? It shouldn't matter at all! I should be able to be perfectly happy with myself, regardless or what others think of me.
