I just returned Jonathan Thulin's album of Science Fiction to the library, cause I use the library, and I want to rent it back right away because it was suuuuch a good album!!!! I got like 6 CD's and it was the one that I just kept replaying over and over and over and over and over and just sooooo many times! I have almost all the songs memorized, not all the raps though, and some lyrics I couldn't quite make out... I love all the songs, but the only thing I'd say that might be a negative is that I can't understand 100% of the lyrics. Like, its hard to tell what is being sung. But other than that, it is am amazing album!
My favorite song is... well I dunno if its my favorite, cause honestly, half of them are all my fav XD but I really like "The Ruins" and just how... delicate and how the vocals were just sooo beautiful. He sang it with Moriah Peters and gah! Its just sooo good and I love how it stands out from the rest of the album as a much more instrumental song.
I also really love "The Theory" and "6 Feet Under" for the interesting vocals and I love "Compass" for such an interesting sound. I really like all the other songs too just because they all sound so different from "normal" songs that just have a band or maybe just have electronic stuff. This album mixes everything! Its got the vocals, its got rap, its got electronic synths and cool beats but it also has orchestra stuff and a good ole band. Its just soooo interesting to listen to and it really takes you on a musical and lyrical journey.
I highly recommend this album and to check out Jonathan's other stuff too :)

Posture
This is just gonna be a quickie... hopefully... But I've been more thoughtful about my posture recently and I'm trying to stand up straighter and sit straighter, because I know its good for you. I see all these old people at church with... bad backs and I definitely do not want to look like that when I get older! 0_o So, I've been more aware about my posture and when I'm not standing or sitting straight -- I am sitting straight right now XD -- But its still hard to do all the time. Actually, I feel like when I walk, I'm pretty straight, its more when I'm just standing or sitting that I tend to slouch and then when I correct myself its like, "Woah! I was that far over?" But yeah... have you thought about your posture today? Well you are now! XP

The Flash Season 2 Review and Comments on the Entertainment World
So... I should be going to bed... or at least getting ready... but I'm gonna do this real quick XD I just finished The Flash season 2! And overall, I liked it. It was action packed, it was funny and light hearted, but still had pretty good depth to it, and it was just a fun ride of a show. However, there are still things that irk me about it (and the same could be said for most television shows anyway) and thats the... well... the lack of God, but I'll get to that a little later.
Let's talk about the things I liked first. My favorite character is Cisco just because he's the funniest and I get his jokes XD I think its so funny how he just has a little saying for everything and how he has to name all the meta humans XD He's a giant dork and its just fun to watch his character. He also makes the most funny faces, which I do, so I like that too.
I really like Joe too. He's the father figure that always has something wise to say, but also admits when he doesn't know what to do. He's pretty level headed and very consistent with his morals and values. The only thing I don't really like, is how he is a little too obsessed with keeping kis kids out of danger. Though, I get it, he's a parent, and thats what parents do, and he does learn to trust them more as the story goes on, but it becomes sort of annoying. And Harry is like that too with Jesse, just too overprotective and it just gets annoying really. But, those are minor things for his character.
I liked the crossover episode with Arrow and even though the Supergirl ep was on Supergirl, I also enjoyed that too.
Ok, its not that much later, but now to the things I don't like. And really, I started this because I wanted to talk about what I didn't like, because it really bothers me: the lack of God. Now the first season, I think, wasn't as bad, it seemed more... not as God-less I guess. But in this season, for some reason I felt it more. Probably cause Barry and everyone keeps having problems that I keep screaming at the TV "you just need Jesus!!". Cause I mean, come on. The first thing that I remember irking me, was how hell bent Patty was on getting revenge on Mardon. Oh, which reminds me that the characters keep blaming bad things on themselves when they had no control. Which annoys me cause if you believed that God has a reason for everything and that even if it was your fault, you can repent, then you'd be ok, well, more ok. And then the Speed Force... basically pulling a God card and being all alpha and omega. Come on. And then the second to last episode annoyed me because Barry was all optimistic and happy and everyone was trying to talk him out of not having any worries. It was a really weird ep. Every character talked to Barry and was all "aren't you a little too happy? you should not be this optimistic. Stop it" -_- I was annoyed. Because if you equate what Barry says about "the speed force being on their side and not Zoom's" to "God is on our side, we have no worries" it just irks me that everyone was all "yeah, don't have faith and be pessimistic". I'm paraphrasing here... but still. And then I got even more annoyed because in the lat two eps they talk about having peace andnot having peace about people dying. Which annoys me, because then they do stupid stuff. Well, by they I mean Barry. Barry does stupid stuff. But, if Barry just had Jesus, he'd be more at peace knowing that his life was in God's hands and that if those that died also had faith, then he'd see them again and there would be no need to be all emo and change the time line again. Geez Barry. XD Jk, But seriously. So many personal problems would be helped if everyone just had Jesus in theyz souls.
Yuuuupppp. And I'd get less annoyed at TV shows. XD Well, yeah, I know I made a big deal about what I didn't like, there was more, I just cant remember, though, but I think its important to not be so... Godless on TV. They even cut out most of what the pastor says at the funeral! Like seriously. Whats the point of having a pastor saying stuff, if they don't care and don't believe and don't even listen to him or give him anything Jesus-y to say. Tv shows and movies are so focused on being "politically correct" and putting blacks and latinos and lgbt people on (cause lets be honest, they don't even put asians on tv that much) that they forget that people watching want their religious views ans moral and beliefs represented too. I'm kind of going off a bit, but its still related. You hear that what we see on tv and in movies should represent the real world, that we have a multicultural world, therefore it should be on screen too, and I get that and I agree, but we also have religion in the world and why is it that its only represented in terrorists and stuff-- the bad ones? Rarely do you see straight up Christian characters. Why aren't we represented huh? Anyway, it just irks me, but I sorta doubt that its gonna change much.
Now, granted, I don't watch every tv show or movie out there and I'm sure I'm missing some good stuff that isn't so... scientific or new age or so politically correct, but as much as I like the Flash, I can't help but think its still missing something, or rather someone.
Ok, rant/not really a review is done and I'm going to bed! (Also, if it seemed like I'm angry or something in this, I'm not... just passionate XD and a bit tired and loopy )

That part that annoys me in movies or tv shows...
You know that one part in a movie or TV show (I'm currently watching season 2 of The Flash and I think I'll do a review on it when I'm done) where some person is in a cell of some kind and they escape because they either fake being dead or fake that they escaped, so the guard opens the door and they get loose? Yeah, I really find that part annoying. The first few times I saw it on screen, I didn't mind that much, but its done ALL the time and its usually just an easy way for the plot to pick up -_- Like... I don't see why the guard or whatever always open the door? Like seriously? Haven't they seen any movies themselves? It just... its happened twice already this season and it just irks me, because it doesn't seem very realistic to me.
The parts that also annoy me is when the bad guys, and even the good guys, have the other person at a disadvantage and they just talk... they talk about their evil plan or how they're gonna take them down and they never shoot or just kill or maim the other person. I was watching Supergirl and there is this part where the evil lady talks to Alex and then she leaves and she lets her two guards just grab Alex... and of course Alex fights back and stuff... and I'm like... "why didn't they just shoot her from a distance? They were just bragging about how they were gonna kill her... and then they just grab her... Seriously?" And this happens all the time. Or when like, the bad guy has a hostage and the good guy is just pointing their gun at them or something. Why don't they shoot? I'm pretty sure the good guy has the advantage and they should be able to aim and not hit the hostage. Like... that always annoys me. Basically, I just find these types of encounters really irritating because they don't seem realistic and they are just there for more dialogue or maybe a cool fight scene... which I get because its a show and you want it to be cool... but sometimes it just doesn't work.
Anyway... short post, and kinda rant-ish XD but... It was just bothering me XP

Heavenly Thoughts :D
Not related... but I got a bug bite sometime this evening -_- Anyway, I've been thinking about Heaven and what it's gonna look like and be like. And I've been meaning to write this for some time now, but obviously I haven't done it till now XD
So, I've recently thought about Heaven in a different way that before. As a kid I always had this image of the whole "streets paved with gold" thing and Heaven being a rather boring place where we stand like in a choir and praise God and stuff. Which, I knew was still gonna be ok, cause I mean, its Heaven XD I wanna be with God, no matter how boring it might seem in an earthly sense. But, then a few months ago, I dunno what clicked, but I started thinking of Heaven as... well, "a new earth". That it was gonna be like it is now, just without all the bad stuff.
Adam and Eve experienced a perfect status of the world, and it wasn't all gold and boring, they actually had lives and did stuff and had fun and ate food and did stuff, so... why wouldn't it be the same later? Why can't we have a Heaven where we have jobs and have pets and go sky diving and eat delicious food and see movies and all that? Just, without all the sinful, unholy and ungodly things? I think that Heaven is gonna be a lot more familiar than we think, but of course, just amazing and sinless and we'll get to see God face to face! :D
Ever since I've thought of heaven as just a "perfect earth" I haven't been... as afraid to die. Not that I am, well not that I know of, but of course, as soon as you are born, you are slowly dying of old age... XD Sorry if you never thought about that and I just made your day horrible x"D But... I feel like before, when I thought of Heaven as good, but boring, I was like "God, please don't take me anytime soon, I wanna have fun down here." But then when I realized (assuming I have a better picture of it now) that Heaven was gonna be this awesome place, I haven't been as afraid, because Heaven is looking like a better and better place to be! XD Then again, I guess that whole "new earth" thing wont happen until Jesus comes back again and the final judgement and all that. But still, I've actually been kind of excited to... die. Cause, I really will be going on to a better place! Get what I'm saying.
Although, there is still that part of me that can't fathom "eternity" yet... and that scares me a bit, but it hasn't scared me as bad since I realized that Heaven isn't gonna be so "boring" XD Heaven is gonna be more like a second life that more amazing and has no end and we're gonna do fun stuff and have awesome "lives" (I guess) for all of "time" (?) Ok, I dunno how its all gonna work, obviously, but I think my new picture of heaven is a bit more accurate, and def less scary for me XD Cause I mean, my whole life I've thought of Heaven as not needing to eat or exercise or read or watch movies, and that's like my whole life! Especially chocolate! I want chocolate in Heaven XD And ice cream! Like, how can things that good, not be in Heaven? Come on. XD And, omg, what if we can teleport in Heaven? Like, we won't need to drive or fly, we just picture it or whatever, and we're there! :D That'll be soooooo amazing!
Ok, so I'm getting a little too excited about this now, I think I'm gonna stop here. But yeah, I've got a new picture of Heaven (or is it Heaven? Or is it a new earth? Are they the same? Is heaven only where you go when you die but there hasn't been the 2nd coming yet...? Anyway) and its great and I'm super excited! Of course... I gotta stay good. I gotta keep living a life that God approves of, otherwise... I don't even want to imagine Hell... 0_o Nooooooooooooooooo. So I'll keep my eyes on the prize! ^_^ So help me God!!!!
