i hate money....i hate it more when i dont have any

i did not realize that
my book voucher money came from scholarship money
that i would have otherwise gotten as a refund check
and now that i am not getting a refund check
i am also NOT getting book money
and i have to purchase 900 dollars worth of books
(that of course would be by bookstore standards. I, myself, am trying to get a little creative)
And have to pay for VA too
I am BROKE
yep, in all caps
:) but for the most part i dont mind
learning to spend money wisely is a good trait

However, i do have a fifty dollar gift card
that my mom made me promise i would spend on something fun for myself
since that rarely happens anymore
AAAANNNNDDD I want to spend it on season four of NCIS
:/
should i spend it on something else?
i mean i havent seen much of that season
and it's not like fifty dollars would buy much clothes, or that i need them
I guess i could buy books,
but i would never have time to read them
and i could get them free at the library...

rawr
i want to spend it
but i cant help from thinking that it would be a waste
but then...i did promise my mom

Jesus Wasnt a Politician

i am so sick and tired of people trying to tell me how jesus would vote and what jesus would vote for. I can't believe that people actually think that if he were alive today he would be a republican...OR a democrat. seriously? The man spent his life speaking out against liars and thieves, and there are plenty of liars and theives on both sides. The only thing i clearly recall him mentioning specifically about politics is that we should give to Caesar what is caesars and to God what is God's. In other words, pay your taxes, and pay your tithes. And dont worry about money problems because that's not what this world is about. God will provide. It's in the book that you claim to trust in so much.

What did jesus say about being a good citizen...hmmm...care of your elderly, provide for the poor, love your neighbors, heal the sick, and protect and love your children.
I'm all up for doing that without getting politicians involved.

So please, don't tell me what policies jesus would vote for, and who he would put in office, because you know in your heart when it comes down to it, you arent really voting for who would do the most good, but rather, but who (you personally believe) will cause the least damage. And i can't see jesus getting behind any of that at all.

He wasnt a politician. He just...did good.
