Name: (Re)Bekah
State: Wisconsin
Metro: Madison
Birthday: 3/24/1983
Interests: I am from a small town in Wisconsin where expected stereotypes are bred. I root for the Packers and Carnivals, Camping and Fishing are memorable pastimes. Drinking Miller Lite is a to-do around a summer bonfire and I rebel against being a Cheddar Cheesehead, I'd prefer Mozzarella please. Brats are not annoying children but yummy with sauerkraut. But I am not all about small town living; I do enjoy other fine things that I think define who I am. I love traveling, especially road trips. My favorite cities are San Francisco, Vancouver, Seattle, Chicago and Honolulu. My musical salvation lies in Linkin Park, but also 80s, Country and everything in between. I love Movies (my 2 favorite being Jurassic Park and Nightmare Before Christmas) and Karaoke Nights. I equate beautiful to Marilyn Monroe and Shades of Blue complete me and I daydream to escape my reality. I am a Liberal Christian who loves compassion and dislikes those who are Small-Minded. {{Continue in Expertise}}
Expertise: Thunderstorm are relaxation and Animals the best medication; especially my cat, Frog and I wish to own a Chihuahua and Chocolate Labrador. I love to drink Sobe Green Tea and collect the Lids and on any given night, you can find me chugging Skim Milk. My favorite alcoholic beverage would include a lil' Captain and baseball (Red Sox) is the greatest sport alive. I have vast amounts of Useful and Useless information and excel at Entertainment Trivia (sad!). I wish I could live in the Ocean and Sleeping is heaven to me. I do a very bad job at being a Perfectionist and I’m passionate about being Opinionated. My favorite thing since childhood has been to Read and one day, my home will have a massive library in it. I love to Write, someday I will sell my first Screenplay. Cooking is my greatest hobby and Fall is my most favorite season. I've been told I am Weird but in a good way and an Ass to boot. Halloween is the Greatest Day out of the entire year. And in the end, that is how I define me!

| It amazes me how hypocritical we Christians tend to be. On a daily basis, we break the 2nd Commandment but I doubt we ask for forgiveness for it because so many of us do not even know we do it. If you are not familiar with the 2nd Commandment, you can read about it here and read the long list of ways we break it.
We're so wrapped up in our own hypocrisy that we don't stop to look around and listen to the amount of Commandments that are broken every second, every hour, every day. It amazes me when I read about people who have cheated on their spouse and blame the Devil and then all they have to do is pray and they think they are forgiven and then they go about their daily lives. It amazes me that there are thousands of people in this country who are having premarital sex right now, who are thinking about getting a divorce, who are getting quickie weddings and having them annulled 1 day later and they are doing it because THEY CAN! I don't see anyone trying to make these things illegal, I don't see protests on these things, I don't see politicians in Washington D.C. trying to make these things illegal, even when they wave their Bibles and talk about how we should be following that book. And then as I listen to all that, I think about the amount of gay people who cannot get married, who are not ALLOWED to get married because it would go against God, it would devalue marriage and the family and it would be going against the Bible.
Oh, such hypocrites we are :hangs head in shame:

| It was two years ago, around this time. I still cry about it. I hope you found home and peace and loved ones. I still ask for your forgiveness, for my giving up on you. I'm sorry. It just got too hard. I do pray that you all are watching over me, I need that right now. I miss you.

| 4. And lastly, I would think the teachings of Jesus Christ, who by the way gave out FREE HEALTH CARE, would teach us all to help the poor and sick. But I guess we don't want to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ because it might cost an extra dollar here or there.
Jesus replied, "Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself."
"All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?"
Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Matthew 19-24

| So I’m confused. Some in Congress (they shall remain nameless :lol:) are against the health plan (for various reasons) but one of them is that it will add an additional $290B to the deficit over the next 10 years, which to them is BAD BAD BAD! But they (again, they shall remain nameless :lol:) were FOR giving basically a blank check each month for this false war, which has added an almost TRILLION dollars to the deficit (if not more that we don’t know about) over the last 6 years. Excuse me?
So War = good
But helping the poor and sick in this supposed Christian nation = bad ??
I wish there wasn't just two sides to this plan, either you are for it or you are against it. Where are the people in the middle who WANT to see this done but also WANT to make sure it is a plan that works. I'm kind of sick to my stomach at people who are against it but don't want to give any alternatives. You know, people are DYING because they don't have health insurance and this Universal Health Plan has been on the plate of certain government officials for YEARS, not just since Obama, we're talking all the way back to, who knows how long, 40-50-60 years and some people have just been against it and voting against it. WE NEED a plan, we can GET a plan that can help and won't hurt people (either in their pockets or in their bodies) but the politics gets in the way and that needs to stop.
Oh and PS – Screw you Republican Senator Jim DeMint for saying “If we're able to stop Obama on this (i.e. health care), it will be his Waterloo. It will break him.” Who salivates at the idea of just not even working with a President so you will BREAK him? And then who suffers? Not the President, the American people! If you don’t like the idea, don’t just turn your back and say NO, try to work with him but you don’t want to, you want to see Obama fail. That’s all you want to see happen :shakes head: This is why, at times, politics SUCKS.

| It's time to change things up!
I've been lacking in my updates to Xanga. I blame Facebook. But now, with Facebook, I don't feel the anonymity I once had with Xanga, free to say what I want to say without the need to edit or censor myself because what I might say may be too sensitive for some ears. I'd like to come back to Xanga, but it's 2009 and the blog/journal world has opened up into so many more possibilities. I'm not happy in my life right now, but I do remember feeling good when I could write, no matter what I was writing about. It felt wonderful to sit down and type out my feelings for the moment because I knew that in reality, the words and feelings that came pouring out were meant for no one else but me. I knew a few people read my stuff, but you know, I never once had anyone criticize what I said or thought and because of that, I felt at ease to write whatever I wanted too. Now with Facebook, it seems I can't or feel I can't. I don't know.
It's time for a new chapter in life. I need it so badly. And I'm not just talking about a place to write; I'm talking about a whole new life experience needs to come my way. I'm in need of a new atmosphere, a change in scenery. In all honestly, I'd love to leave the US of A and go somewhere, anywhere, to a place where I don't feel like Rebekah from Wisconsin. Ya know?
Oh who am I kidding. I'll live and die in Wisconsin without accomplishing anything. It's written on the stars, I just know it  | | |
