Desperate Attempt # 2 meets 7DS and Pictures

So in a desperate attempt to leave MySpace once and for all, I have decided to migrate my favorite part of it to a new location. I’m not saying that I am leaving MySpace anytime soon. I do believe that this will help me make the long transition a little bit more bearable, because I really don’t want to be one of those weird 40 year-olds with a MySpace. I mean seriously that’s lame.
Just so you know, I will probably not post anything regularly, but when I do I will probably post several things at once, because sometimes I have a lot of free time.

So to start this “Green House Effect” blog (which again has nothing to do with the green house effect, I was just reading about it for my astronomy class and decided it would be an awesome name for a blog) I will share with you something that’s on my mind.

The Seven Deadly Sins.

Yeah.

I’m actually not one of those crazy religious people (I do believe in God though), but I’m suppose to do a research paper for my English 1312 class and the teacher asked me to give her my topic and I know for a fact that she’s a crazy religious woman, so I was like I want to write about the seven deadly sins. She got super happy it was hilarious.
I’ve been reading about the though, and the more I read about them I realize that what I want to write about won’t make my religious teacher happy.

I mean don’t get me wrong. I see why they are considered capital sins, but I seriously doubt that anybody could avoid them.

For example, I am one of the most apathetic people I ever met. (Just for the record sloth, which is one of the seven deadly sins, has been translated as apathy) And no matter how much I might try to care about stuff, my apathy towards many things will never change. Even if I fake carrying God would know it is fake caring, which brings me to the point that I can’t change who I am or how I feel.

So how can we avoid them?

I see each one of the seven deadly sins (with the exception of Gluttony) as an emotion, something that we can’t help.

Do you see my dilemma?
Whatever, I’ll figure it out once I get started.

Also, I’m supposed to write a 5-6-page paper on a movie and how it relates to something a person has to go through. And I’ve watched movies like crazy and I still haven’t decided on a movie, of course I watched 3 of the dumbest movies I’ve ever seen yesterday (Walk Hard, The Heartbreak Kid, and Prom Night) so I can see why I haven’t been able to pick a movie.

I’ve been thing of maybe writing it on “Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind”, “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium”, “Garden State”, “Elizabethtown”, or “Science of Sleep.”

I’m still open to suggestions though, so feel free to tell me.

What’s funny about it though is that all of them are about finding yourself through experiences such as: Love, Death, Friendship and well Gael Garcia Marquez. Ha Ha Ha.

I don’t know, but I’m off to watch Martian Child because its due back at 9 and I still haven’t showered so I have about 4 hours to do this.

Later.

Keep reading.

I’ll leave you with this:

“There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.”
