i'm starting to wonder if the thing really is true... that the king james bible may be the only true version of the bible in the english language...

my curiousity was sparked when joe wrote off ppl who think that the bible has one type of book to rely upon, and in reply i stated that i kinda agreed; as long as the truth isn't distorted, i'm ok with it...

lately, the truth has been anything but...

there's been a lotta stuff i've found lately that shows other versions of the bible to distort the truth... one example being the exclusion of acts 8:37; NIV puts it in the footnotes, but still... the lord's prayer is different too; try the luke version in KJV, then compare it to NIV... you'll see some stuff that's missing...

and also, in the KJV, the mark of the beast makes the mark implanted "in" the person... growing technology has also suggested that the mark would be like a chip of some sort, implanted in either the right hand or the forehead... where the body transmits the most heat... someplace where a lithium battery can recharge the most... other versions use the word "on," misleading ppl to think the devil will only put a tattoo on us... but look, even tattoos are placed IN us, since you need to inject ink IN...

they also write the number of the devil exactly, (666), but the KJV only says that it is 6 threescore and 6...

i'll write more on this, but for now i gotta sleep... if this really is true, i need to make a trip to bureans before i take off back to college...

like instrumentals? try this:

dave beegle- joy

man, i should look for guitar instrumentals more... there's something beautiful about hearing music that has no vocals but just showcases good skill with musical instruments...

CNN news article on assasination attempt on chen

i haven't been keeping up w/the whole taiwan fiasco due to my studies, but now that i have exactly 5 days to chillax, i've found the link above...

not to point fingers too early, but i would guess the would-be assassin is either one of the mainland chinese, the us, or a disgruntled taiwanese person approached by china/us...

the truth is, the us keeps trying to interfere with other countries from behind the curtain... i would not be surprised if they do it again here, which is ironic, because we used to support taiwan...

however the us you see today is nothing but a buncha soft-ass people... people who are afraid all of a sudden of angering anybody at all... oh no, china's getting upset! we can't allow that... not because we are TRUE friends with them... but because they can go postal on us and nuke us all to hell! or because we earn too much money with them, trading our ass off! oh no!

so we try to solve everything behind the curtain... not get our public figure tarnished... do things so others can't see it...

and it's because chen caters to taiwan's interests... because he wants taiwan to be recognized as something that is not in china's shadow...

prayers... would be great...

cuz i dunno who's winning this tug of war/ but it "better be you" - koo chung

norcal taiwanese reppin to the fullest yo...

it's too bad mel gibson will never win a grammy/oscar/whatever the hell they call it for "the passion for the christ..." ebert and roeper gave it two thumbs up... we have grown too pc... when if they were to think about it, jesus was a jew himself... the message of "jesus DIED" is that good, that we ignore it(see what i wrote at the top)

if you've never delved into the thinking of jessica simpson, now would be a good time!

Whadda idiot

Also here

i've finally done it...

i've gotten rid of ALL my cpu games on my cpu(well, let's say the exception was CS and TFC, but i don't even play those that often anymore, it's more due to the fact that it'd take forever to reinstall, and like i've said, i don't really play those anymore)... even the freecell/solitaire/spider solitaire stuff...

why?

to feel the release...

to not tie myself down again...

to not be hung over video games again...

so i'm one step closer to God...

you wouldn't believe the time i waste on cpu games... i NEEDED to do this...

no, it doesn't solve everything... but it's a huge load off my chest, and it's about time i did so...

i may redownload all those games again someday, but only if i can burn them so they're not sitting pretty on my desktop, tempting me...

wonder how many 2nd-gen azn-americans are regretting that they waste their chances at their respective colleges... after all, our ancestors sacrificed a damn lot to get here and give us the best chances at making a good-paying job... and we blow it doing what... i'd seriously like to get some of that energy that they have... because it seems ALL of us could use that boost...

i'd like to see a statistic of how many azn's in their respective countries were buddhist and how many azn-americans, 1st and 2nd, are christian... i'd like to also see how many are casual and devout for each... it just seems that either our ancestors just transitioned like that, or never were buddhist to begin with. cause there's a LOT of azn american christians when you come to think about it... heck, that's why there's ABSK and AACF in college... i can't remember the last time there was a christian org for indians and stuff... (maybe i just answered my own question; our ancestors weren't into the buddha stuff to begin with)

want proof positive that mavs suck on defense? an ai-less sixers whupped on them...

America is finger lickin' good! :D

i wonder if God takes delight in making it seem 78 so i go to school in my cutoffs, then suddenly cut it to about 58 so my nipples feel hardened and i have to constantly suck in my breath to keep myself from feeling too cold... hah i bet he does...

you gotta love this question and answer when grassroots conducted an interview w/jeremy camp:

KB: I read that country music is the one type of music that you don't listen to. How come? What do you have against country?

JC: [Laughs.] Yeah. Um, I take that back... it was more of an emotional thing. I respect country music because it's music. I just can't handle the twang. Like that Toby Keith guy; I'm not going to name names but ....it's just really cheesy stuff sometimes. My wife left me and I'm drinking my beer... But then again there are country songs that are good songs too. I just don't like the twang.

yeap... the twang... don't we all country-haters... the twang... haha... come to think about it... if all acoustic popular songs were twang'd up, they'd be country... heh... if someone comes out w/a software that can "twang" songs, i'd consider signing up :D just for kicks... twang 4.0... now you can hick-ize all your favorite songs!

empty me(who wrote this one, anyways? did jeremy camp REALLY write this? i couldn't find out who else did)

holy fire burn away
my desire for anything
that is not of you, and is of me
i want more of you
and less of me

empty me, empty me
fill me, with you, with you

haha... if i told you that boondocks and foxtrot are the most kickass comics, would you believe me?

boondocks: president bush addresses the problems of the nations

foxtrot: this is what cheap-broke geeks do

i wonder if jerm's seen this article:

milk may help reduce weight in kids

of course, all these reports are sometimes preposterous(there's too many variables to analyze at one time)... but it could explain why i'm skinnier than my bro... and taller... i wonder how much exactly height gain is related to milk... given what i am now, i just wanna break 6 ft...

haha... tell that to all the short youth girls back @canaan... keep not drinking milk, and you'll end up overweight...

heh, if they threw me into one of those studies, it could throw the whole thing off; they'd find that...

-eating little, but drinking lots of milk
-swimming on a swim team about 1 hr 4 yrs, then 2 hrs after that for about 2 yrs every weekday
-running everywhere to get where you're going(as long as it's practical), or jogging, brisk walking if trying not to get tired
-depriving yourself of sleep to cram for tests, then most other times oversleeping
-eating a LOT in high school senior - college years

will keep your weight down, your height up, and weirdly, metabolism from skyrocketing til you're age 30 :D then, YOU'RE GONNA DIE
