Leverage

So the reason I am behind in blogs is due mostly to me watching five season of the show Leverage in about a month. Factoring in hours I’ve spent dodging homework with this show, I decided to make my last blog a poem in its honor.

A hacker, a thief, a hitter

A mastermind and a grafter

Steal from the rich to give to the poor

Living in a Robin Hood grandeur

Saving average people from big corporations

They spend their talents making restorations

Instead of themselves, they live for friends

And pick up exactly where the law ends

Going undercover without red tape

They play heroes without a cape

They save the day one problem at a time

Living life on the wrong side of the line

Safe Haven

Safe Haven. A good movie for three reason.

One: it has a stellar cast. Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough are fantastic! On top of them however, you have the most adorable little girl in the history of adorable girls. Her name is Mimi Kirkland, and she is so cute!

Two: Great plot. I’m not one to be surprised in a movie, but this movie took me until the end to fully figure out. Part of this could be that my mom wouldn’t let me look it up online. I do that sometimes when I really can’t figure a movie out, and she wouldn’t let me. But the plot was very confusing and mysterious all the way through.

Three: I’ve always wanted to live in a small town. The scenery that they show in this fantastically wonderful! If I could ever live in a quiet town by the lake, I’d want it to be one like that.

Anyways those are the three reasons I love this movie!

Vanity, Vanity

I wrote this after reading the Pilgrims Progress which is one of my favorite books.  =]

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Oh the fairest of them all

I look into you and all I see

Is the vanity inside of me

All day long, I meet your glare

All day long, I sit and stare

My eyes are drawn into your trap

Like a tired child into a peaceful nap

 I dare not play your games no more

‘Cause in my looks I am not poor

I choose to look inside for truth

Not to fame, to money, or youth

Time has uncovered your true nature

You are meaningless, and so immature

Your face is plastered on every page

Of every magazine and on every stage

You claim to love the ones you serve

But they serve you and all your ­nerve

Your voice is heard in every street

You plead your cause to everyone you meet

Vanity, vanity is your name

Taking people’s lives is your game

You have no soul, no mind, no heart

Yet we are beaten before we start

You know your trade; you do it well

You see your fans and how they fell

I’ve been set free from you

There is nothing that you can do

I aim to tell every lost soul

That beauty in Christ can make them whole

To find true beauty in him they must search

Not in a man, nature, or even church

I’d tell them, “Christ holds the key

To set you free

Reach out your hand

Reveal the lock

Let him be your ever firm rock

He longs to hold and complete your life

To take away all your pain and strife

No longer will vanity hold you in prison

For you are free because Christ has risen”

Acid Crime

I’ve never been so angry at humanity as I was in class Tuesday. Hearing the stories of victims of acid crimes made me want to cry, punch something, and run away all at the same time. How could any human being be twisted enough to burn someone with gasoline and/or acid? I don’t understand!

I’ve never been so close to hating someone. I don’t know why but I can get annoyed with people but it is very hard for me to get angry with them, and I definitely have never hated someone before. Now maybe that’s due to my definition of hate, but I’ve never wished the death sentence on anyone until I watched the terrors those men put the Pakistan women through. The whole time I was watching it I just wanted to scream. I was going to try to write something more than just these two paragraphs of disgust, but I couldn’t. My mind won’t let me dwell on this video anymore.
