Public Education is Great for Stupid People

Before you go and complain about the title of this post, stop and think. Do you hate school? If you answered "YES" then you're probably still attending it. If you answered "NO", then you've probably been free from it's grasp for quite some time now.

*DISCLAIMER* I could be wrong about most of the things I talk about in the upcoming paragraphs, but they're certainly true for my school.*

Learning is supposed to be fun, right? Atleast, that's what gets beat into your head in Elementary and Kindergarten. So, why is it that we have so many teenagers and kids that hate going to school?

The truth is, learning IS fun. I LOVE to learn about Music, it's history, and the people that play it.

Generally kids drop out of school because they aren't interested in it. So, what would happen if they were interested in it? What would happen if they got to learn about the things they love and use their imaginations every day?

Ladies and gentleman, they call that a revolution. A revolution of truly educated, creative kids.

Maybe people are afraid that if they let their children choose what they want to learn, and what they want to be, there won't be anyone to take the less desirable jobs...

Let me tell you a secret:

I used to want to be a garbage man.

So, tell me your thoughts on this subject.
Also, what did you want to be when you were little?

Your Thoughts?

I haven't posted much here, not that a lot hasn't happened, but just that I haven't really felt like it.

Here's a question for you: What makes music "Worship Music"? What is Worship Music?

WWJD? Pt. 1

That's a good question. What would Jesus do? Well, from the gospels, Mark, Matthew, etc. we know some of the things he DID do.

Cody Bonnette said once in an interview, "Jesus didn’t run around saying, “I am Christian, this is Christian, this is Christian, this is not Christian.” He just went around and he was Jesus. And later on we were like, “Okay, well this is Jesus, and he only does these things.” And we don’t know that. No one knows that. Know one knows “what would Jesus do?” because he always did things differently."

In order to be Christ-like, we need to look at things from a different perspective. A loving perspective. Something that always helps me is putting myself in another persons shoes for a minute, to think what it would be like to be them.

For a long time I would see somebody, and if they looked different, or wore weird clothes or something, I would just make fun of them. I would do it just to keep others thinking, "Yeah, that guys cool." What is cool? What does that even mean?

What, in your opinion, is cool?

I don't mean what do others think it takes to be cool. I mean: What do you like to see people doing that gives you respect for them?
