And in other news....

-Bindhi is a Felix! We did a double check and found the truth. Whoopsie!

-I've decided to get a tattoo. Not right now. Sometime in the future. I don't know when. I had a friend design one for me. (He actually has designed quite a few...on my arms...with a Sharpie.) It's a black cat with a stylized 'N' next to it. Quite gorgeous, actually. I'll upload a pic of it sometime...I also want an industrial piercing (Google it)

-To be honest, I started this out wanting to rant. I wanted to rant about how people need to learn to accept others despite their religion. It's one of the few forms of real prejudice still left everywhere. There really is no place in the world safe from it. Not even my house. My family (except my step-person...I don't know what to call him yet....) is Catholic. Less Catholic than we used to be, mind you. But I'm still forced to go to mass every Sunday. Did I mention I was 18? It doesn't matter that I don't believe in Christ (for reasons mentioned in previous entries), I still go. It pisses me off.

-I think I might fo to F.I.T. when I'm done here. I know, "Nicky? In New York? Doing Fashion Design? Noooo" Yes. I hear they do I toy design program. Who knows, maybe I'll be the next Jason Wu.

Teaser: I'm thinking that my next post has to be when I have time because each word/phrase is gonna be linked.

Religious Overtones [WARNING: Contraversy Ahead]

I am a bit tired of facing overtones of Christianity everytime I open my Facebook inbox. I am not a Christian. I am not part of a any religion. I have been 'born again' before, but reading the Bible makes everything a bit fishy for me. It would be all well and good, accept Christ and you'll never die. But the religion itself is so askew. Why is it that Christians, the Children of Peace are so full of hate and intolerance? Why do so many of them feel they are any better than other sinners despite the fact that they are taught to be humble? The Pope keeps an upside-down cross on his "throne".The leader of a country that calls itself the most powerful announced what people have acknowledged as The Mark. And yet, he is known to be Christian. (The date was 6/6/06, btw)

To the Christians:
Did you know?

-Both Lucifer and Jesus were referred to as the morning star. [Isaiah 14:12, Revelations 22:16]
-Jesus claimed he did not come to bring peace, but a sword. [Matthew 10:34-36]
-The Bible shows two creations in Genesis. The first by God on the sixth day (man and female together, equals) [Genesis 1:26] The second on the Sabbath by the "LORD" (man first then Eve from Adam.)[Genesis 2]
-Cain asked the LORD to mark him lest he be found and killed after being exiled from his family (is Adam and Eve were the first humans, who was he afraid of?) [Genesis 4:15]
-Cain's wife was a descendant of God's people. Not Eve and not his sister. (He was far from them at this point in time)
- In the Bible, the words LORD and Satan are at times inter-changable. [2 Sam 24:1, 1 Chron 21:1]
-God and the LORD gave Noah separate instructions in packing the ark. [Genesis 6:19-22, Genesis 7: 1-7]
-The Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit is not written literally anywhere in the Bible. It is a man-made concept meant to keep followers in the dark.
-In the oldest English copies of the Bible, God and the LORD are written as two separate entities and in the New Testament, heaven is never capitalised.
-We all know the Mark of the Beast appears on foreheads and right hands. [Rev 13:16] In the prophecy of Revelations, Jesus and the 144,000 behind him carry The Mark of His Father on their heads. [14:1] (This is stated almost sub-sequentially, following the description of the Mark)

Rumors:
-The 13 bloodlines of the Illuminati came from Jesus. They are the 144,000 that will be with him on the last day.


Think about that for a while and then tell me to save myself in Christ. Please respect the fact that I do not believe in following a religion. I honestly don't think God cares what culture we were raised in. If God is truly as fair and just as they all say.
FIGHT THE NWO!

A few opinions I have:

I promised myself when I started this blog that I would try to break the stereotypes people held over Jamaicans. Well, truth be told, I'm not the average Jamaican. There's no such thing. You have the uptown people, the ghetto youths, the country people and those who are so uptown that they rarely are referred to so often that they'd actually have a broad label. (21 families might suffice.) All I can do is be me, and hope that no one assumes that I'm a genius because Jamaicans could never think the way I do. (If you have another reason for thinking that, though, it's all good.)

So here's what I think about a few random things.

Politics: I don't think about politics. I'm an anarchist at heart, being the kind of person I am. Everyone has a right to make their own choices without the fear of being punished by another human being. So, I don't really think about politics. But, I do think about things that can affect politics.

Religion: Huh, I don't really believe in this either. I believe in being spiritual and peaceful. Mohammed, Buddha, Jesus, Ghandi, Abraham, they all had the same message to spread. It was about respect, love, tolerance and patience. Peace. So why is it that in so many religions (and sectors of religion) in so many countries across the Earth, people are being taught that another religion is "evil" or "wrong"? They all have the same thing to say, they just speak a different language. My God is no different than the Judao-Christian God, or Allah, or Brahman or any other religion's god(s), people only call them by a different name and choose to seperate them according to their duty in life.

Sex: Yes, please! I'm joking. Truth be told, I'm a bit old-fashioned when it comes to sex. In most cases, I would probably say "Do it with the one you love." But in this day and age, those who save it are few and far between. So here's my policy: If anything were to go wrong and I were to get pregnant, I want a father in my child's life. I'm not going abort that small but real life inside me. So I will not have sex with someone that I cannot trust to support my child emotionally, if nothing else. And god forbid, he gives me a disease. I want him to be someone I can take to the doctor and get tested with before going unsafe (if we chose to be one-on-one). In short, if not the one you love, do it with the one you trust.

Conspiracy Theories: Are probably usually right. I'm not even joking. Is it so inconceivable that those in charge would hide important and disturbing information from the public? Must of us have parents who do it. They don't want to let us know the extent to which things have gone wrong because it will frighten us. Imagine that panic times, I dunno, 10 billion? Yea I'd keep shit secret too.

2012 is The End: I think there are a lot of reasons why it could be. Between Biblical and Mayan prophecies and science itself, factor in conspiracies that include jumprooms and crop circles, why the hell not? Because I'm too stubborn to believe that it could happen in my lifetime? Uh-uh. I'm not atheist. My mind (soul, spirit, etc.) will move on after I pass. So I'm not afraid of the end, because I know it won't really be.

A paraphrase from 'Contact':
If one city in one country on one planet in one solar system in every galaxy had a small population, that would still be millions of people. If they didn't, well that would be an awful waste of space.
