*NOTE* I really don't like how you guys really don't like when I talk about my personal life, or when I actually just tell you what's going on with me. Not happy. So this blog is coming in three parts.
Part 1:
Anyways so if anyone checked my twitter account I say that I am a:
"Blogger, actress, theater geek, coffee enjoyer, Christian, and I can and will talk to complete strangers..." I practically promised that I have the ability to talk to anybody without feeling nervous or awkward. But every superhero has there cryptonite. I in fact, can feel terribly awkward talking to my pastor.
Not because my pastor is weird, but there is this sort of one-sided relationship between you and him because he goes up on the stage and talks about Jesus and breaks the ice with a few puns and you feel like you know him.But he has no idea who you are, and I don't enjoy those sort of one-sided relationships, I really don't, but you've kind of set up this wall between you and him and waltzing up and just chatting with him breaks the wall into smithereens, so sometimes I get a little nervous talking to pastors. That's my story for the day.
Part 2:
I had not heard of Jeremy Lin until a person I subscribe to did a video on him. Being no basketball know-it-all, what I have gathered is that he is a basketball superstar in China. Like ridiculously good. However the Chinese government has not been broadcasting his games for two debated reasons.
One, is that he might be Taiwanese, and there is this tension going on between who Taiwan belongs to, China or themself.
Secondly, he is a Christian. He speaks of how he wants to be a pastor. Now, the Chinese government has made it 'okay' to be whatever religion, however people are still persecuted in China for being Christian and the official religion is atheism. (Post about China soon to come.) Lin's extreme popularity and his extreme Christianity opening other people's minds is probably freaking the Chinese gov't out. What's your opinion? Comment or tweet at me.
Part 3:
Illegal downloading. It is causing mass hysteria in groups of rich people. Middle class just shrugs. But is it a big deal?
I have never really illegally downloaded anything....wait never mind, that was a lie. Okay, I have never illegally downloaded a song, movie, or tv show. Which people who have record labels have a cow about.
This guy here has a lovely analogy on the whole situation and I agree with him completely.
So happy websurfing.
Over and out.
Love,
Cailin
