Thou therefore, endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

7. thought:
It seriously amazes me how much bs women put about putting the toilet seat down. (you get this flak most of the time when a man and woman get together at dinner for some reason) Most of it has to do with how gross the toilet is when men piss over, THEREFORE, it should be their responsibility to put it down even when the woman is a guest in a house full of guys. Now, I could go on and on and stuff, but the main thing I wanted to put down is this:

Are women so stupid? I KNOW it's gross letting the toilet seat down with your bare hards, but nothing's preventing you from taking a piece of toilet paper(as it's right there), using it as a guard between your bare hand and the toilet seat to let the toilet seat down! I know most guys never bring this thing up in conversation, but are people so stupid as to not think about this one? Am I the only one who actually KNOWS this one? And does it?

Then again, maybe my mom is just way too ahead of this time(and most girls). My mom never had this stupid bs in our house about letting the toilet seat down, it was always "richard, you LEFT the toilet seat down; how many times do i have to tell you?" and (when i was a kid)"richard that's gross; next time you want to let the toilet seat down, use toilet paper." ALWAYS.
8. video game:
Capcom Vs SNK 2 - for some reason, i've grown very fond of this game, even though i don't have it, and even if i did, would be unable to play it. match videos for this game are NOT turtly. they're deep.
9. other(product):
Terminator 2 was a movie that was way better than just the average action shooter; I intend to someday own the special dvd.
10.other(various):
Hakeem Olajuwon is one of the top 5 centers in basketball of all time; people just don't realize it b/c they hug on MJ's nuts during the 90's. He had no real weakness in his game, was an excellant defensive player, and could create his own shot even if he picked up his dribble(as his specialty was the Dream Shake, a combo of head fakes and bball pumps). He also went through Shaq, Ewing, and Robinson in order to get his two rings, with no complimentary all-stars on his team, which only shows how much of a great player he was. I truly respect this guy, and he is my favorite dominant all-star out of the 90s next to Michael Jordan. Maybe my favorite now-not-playing center, next to Bill Russell. Ppl say Jordan was better, but they never played against each other in the post-season, so any conclusions we can make about who is better are inconclusive. I would've loved to watch Rockets take on the Bulls in the 90s for the chip.

edit: almost forgot clyde drexler was around when the rockets made a run at defending their title.
