It's been a while since I've touched on this subject. Previous reviews heralded my last post as "incontrovertible truth!" "So Useful! I am a better person because of it!" "What is WRONG with you?" and "dear heavens who let this guy near the computer?!!" I will endeavor to explain further the intricacies and inevitable fallacies that arise from the precarious insanity called "Dating."
Well people, I must say that I have done extensive [read: none] research into the field of dating recently and let me tell you what techniques my quite exhaustive fieldwork has led me to discover! My number one tip on dating is so elegantly simple most people just wind up missing it! The truth is that if you are planning on dating, then you must keep this solidly in your mind, never let it go and it will keep you from making a huge mistake! This is can be summed up into a single word and that word is.... "Don't!" Tip #2 is "Ever!" These words will help prevent such erroneous tendencies such as courting and marriage and *shudder* children...
"oh, you're just being cynical!" you say! "It can't be that bad!" oh trust me my naive and unknowing friend, it is much, much worse!! One day you start talking to an individual, it's all innocent and friendly and then -Bam!!- you've been married for 20 years and have ten kids and a mortgage! Oh yeah, and that sweet ride you had your eye on since before you could drive... That orange with black racing stripes '69 soft top Camaro... Yeah, it's somehow been transmogrified into a Aerostar Minivan!! "How could this be?" you cry! well, you dated it. You dated your hopes and dreams into oblivion! "but what if I like minivans?" you ask. You, my friend, need Jesus.
Now, don't get me wrong. I've dated and found it fun! I had a lot of good experiences in the frontlines of this war. But it only lasts a season and then you have to share food and go shopping and actually spend money on someone other than yourself! One horror after another my friend... One endless horror. So the next time you decide to talk to that cutie patootie who aint all that snooty... DONT!
The opinions expressed in this article are not necessarily those of this blogger and should be only construed as a miss-appropriated and highly inaccurate rant and should never be taken seriously. Any endeavor to react in a manor implying that this is a serious posting will be laughed at and mocked repeatedly by people way cooler than you will ever be.

In all of us we find
a certain point of view
things we see are not as they seem
perspective thrown askew
Simply put
we have a thought
of what that thing should be
and if it doesn't add up to that
then it's certainly not for me!
It's often hard to diversify
To find a different worldview
or at least accept that they exist
as differently from you
I understand that absolutes
exist and cannot change
There is a God who made the world
and Jesus is His name
It's just at times we do not see
the Truth in the Light of Him
But our lens of life and circumstance
bend the rays askew
So take a breath
and then eschew
that carnal minded
warped and blinded Personal worldview
This poem is kind of thanks to my diversity teacher. She's very... difficult... to listen to or want to be around. It's talked around class that the only reason anyone stays in her class is so they don't have to take it again. She is always talking about how we need to shake our worldview and accept that there are others out there who have different experiences than we do. People today who deal with racism, hate crimes, and profiling. There is a lot of correctness in what she says. We need to realize just how privileged we are. There are freedoms that we are completely unaware of simply because we've never not had them. You may be sensing a "but" coming up and you're right. She is right, but she doesn't say things in the right way usually. She comes of so abrupt and strong and in-your-face that it is difficult to want to care. At least for me it is. When someone gets so irate and incensed about something and tries to shove it down my throat, my passive aggressive tendencies shut the caring centers of my brain down. I digress, the point of the poem is that we can get so caught up in our worldview and what we know, or even what we think we know, that we can fail our brethren. Our Neighbors. I'm not talking about State Farm either! We need to learn to truly care about the plight of others. If we cannot care enough to pay attention... Then how can we say we love everybody. I think one of the greatest thing about Jesus is that moment when he looked over the city and was moved. He was moved for each and every one. He cared about, and loved, each and every single person. He cared about the lawyers who tried to trick him. The priests who tried to trap him. The soldiers who hung him on a cross. Doubting Thomas. Betrayer Judas. All. We need His Worldview. There is a song by Brandon Heath, it gained some popularity for a while on the radio a while back, called Give Me Your Eyes. The song goes something like, "give me Your eyes so I can see, everything that I keep missing, give me Your love for humanity..."
