The 7 deadly sins - Gluttony and Lust.

Oooft. It's time for another blog post. No, it is still not blog 'o' clock and it never will be. Sorry. Stop pestering me about bloody blog 'o' clock. Thank you.

Anyway, it is time to unleash the beast...

Gluttony.

Gluttony - "a misplaced desire of food or its withholding from the needy"

Well, as any of you who have seen me recently know, I have put on a little bit of weight. I have a belly that could rival Buddha at the moment and I'm not proud of it. I can think of many excuses for why I am now "rotund." I ate too much, I have an infection in my intestine, I am pregnant, I am two people in one body, I have worms, I have an alien symbiote living in my tummy. Seriously, I could go on for ever with these bad boys. So, anyway, here is the honest truth. I like to eat. I enjoy food too much. It didn't help my "emergency spending" last month to wipe my catering card, but still, I am not happy with the way that things have worked out. I shall do something about it though. Soon. (Liposuction. DIY style.)

Lust

Lust - an inordinate craving for carnal pleasure

Now, I know there are a fair few of my readers who have been eagerly awaiting this deadly sin ever since I announced doing this. Well, I say fair few...

Right, I suppose I should stop stalling and just go for it. I don't think I fall for this sin. It says "inordinate" in the definition. So what I do, is completely justifiable. Even if it does involves rubber ducks and squeezy cheese. I don't "lust" more than once a day. Well, hour. Well, every 15 minutes. Well, I don't go around constantly fiddling with myself. Well... Let's leave it there shall we.

Now, I do not like porn. Sorry to disappoint. I can't give any tips on where to find awesome breasts or merciless rape or whatever. You'll just need to find them yourself. And I'm fairly sure some of you know where to look... But anyway, I digress. Seriously, I don't like it. Drop the subject.

Seriously, as a "slightly god-fearing" teen, this is a subject I find hard to discuss. I can't really see where this fits in to my life. I do not constantly crave sex. I do not constantly monitor the net for new porn. I do not "jack off" every day. So, going by that, I think I'm doing well.

Sorry about the cop out on the lust topic. Seriously could not think of what to put.

Next time, it's the last bit. "Greed, Envy & Pride"

Peace out bubs.

The 7 deadly sins - Sloth & Anger.

Well, for some reason, I've decided to do another multi-part post. So, I am going to cover the 7 deadly sins and how I am affected by them. Why? Do I need a reason? Good. Here we go then.

Sloth.

Sloth- "The failure to utilise one's skills, talents and/or gifts."

Well then, personally I fall into this trap all of the time. I am lazy. I admit it. I spend most of my day sitting on my a*** watching a tiny screen. I drink alcohol, I eat lots but I do little to no exercise. I prepare for exams the night before and expect to pass. I can see why this is a deadly sin. To fall into the depths of "slothdom" is to condemn yourself to a life of mediocrity. A life where you do nothing for yourself so nothing happens to you. 

Now, what I intend to do about it...

I intend to join the sports union next semester, damn the costs, and attempt to get into shape. I will eat less and I will get away from my little screen a little bit more.

Anger (Wrath)

Anger (or Wrath) - Inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger.

Well, I'd be a liar if I said I was never angry. The thing is though, usually I'm angry at myself not at other people, which is far worse than being angry at others. (Well, up to the point before murder becomes involved) This is because I am self-destructive. I can form relationships with other people and in a particularly bad case of self-loathing, destroy any friendship I had with that person. Who wants to be friends with a whiner? Exactly. I do show my anger externally too, but I bottle it up so that when it does surface, one person gets all of the backlash. All of my self-loathing, all of my pent up frustrations over girls, university, friends and money, all of the insults that have "bounced off my thick skin" and digs at my looks, my friends and my personality all come gushing out in one, massive bout of rage fuelled madness. 

Sometimes, I lash out at things. (Walls, trees, cars, beds, pillows, whatever is handy at the time.) Sometimes I just break down. I remember once I just burst into tears. For no reason. No one was talking to me at the time. Nothing had hit or hurt me. No one had insulted me recently. I just, started bawling. It was a very weird feeling. Knowing that, "as a big, strong man, I am not supposed to cry." Well, people, here's a news flash. I am not a "big, strong man." I am a very timid and sensitive man. That doesn't make me any less of a man than you assholes but it seems that way sometimes. Usually, I shout. Loudly. I shout out my frustrations. I scream all my problems. I tell people too much about the inner Andrew and immediately regret it. And then I go back to bottling things up again. And so renews the cycle...

What am I going to do about it?

Well, I don't see much that can be done. I could just immediately backlash at people who insult me, beat two s***s out of people who hurt me and scream at people who frustrate me. I don't see that helping much really.  Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.

In the next post I will be looking at "Gluttony and Lust." You know you don't want to miss that...

Peace out bubs.

Controversy Corner

Well, I do believe it is officially time for me to post up a blog. Does that make it "blog o'clock"? No, cause officially, that's someone else's thing...
Anyway, what I want to do is get my opinions on some things out in the open for all to hear. I want feedback! If you agree, say so. If you don't, I want to know why! My opinions are not set in stone. So then, here we go...

Abortion
Now, people are regularly dumped into "Pro-life" or "Pro-choice." I've been dumped in "Pro-life" because of two main reasons. 1) I'm catholic. 2) I don't agree with killing.
So therefore, I automatically qualify to be "Pro-life!" Congratulations! Welcome to the club! Handshakes for all!
Hold on there.
I am not "Pro-life." I do believe in "adoption not abortion" but if the mothers health is in danger because of a pregnancy, who am I to reduce her chances of survival? A git of a human being if you ask me.
Hey, that makes you "Pro-choice!" Congratulations! Welcome to the club! Handshakes for all!
HANG ON! Oh what's the use.
Let me put this as simply as possible. Abortions are acceptable in extreme circumstances, when the health of the mother or child is in danger. This does not mean I agree with "Pro-choice." I'm a shade of grey in-between the two. You know, where the vast majority of people are. But we aren't blowing up abortion clinics or holding up quite so many placards, so we don't get as much attention.
What do you think about abortions? Are you "Pro-choice" or "Pro-life"? Let me know!

Assisted Suicide
This is a very complicated matter... If someone is in pain every single day of their life with no hope of recovery then should we allow them to die if they wish to do so? To be honest, I don't know. I can only speak for myself when I say that I am extremely afraid of death and I would choose to cling on to life as long as I could. Why am I so afraid of death? Hmm, maybe because it's a tad too permanent for my liking. If I don't like being dead, there's no "backsies." A deals a deal. You're out and you ain't getting another go (To reincarnationists, I'll add "in the same body") and I've grown rather attatched to this suckish life of mine.
Anyway, I don't believe that you can put a blanket ban on this. This is something for more intelligent people than me to argue about.
Comments on this? Do you have any ideas?


Wikileaks...
Well, you all saw this one coming. At the moment, this is the controversial issue. I think that what wikileaks is the right thing to do. However, I do appreciate that some things need to be kept secret. Such as? Military stuff. I'd rather not have every country in the world know exactly where all of my weapons are kept. I'd rather keep that kind of thing quiet. However, what a diplomat (however idiotic) has said about a prince's shoes/sex life/racist habits should be known. Stopping it is against the right to free speech and I think that free speech is what stops us from being like North Korea...
What do you think state security or freedom of speech? Opinions?


Nuclear power.
Yes. I do agree with nuclear power. Something that can provide that much power while producing very little pollution agents has to be used. I do not believe this is the only solution. Other alternatives must be used as well. A nuclear plant in every county just gives me the heeby-jeebies... Sure they are safe. I still don't want one next door...
What do you think? Let me know.


Mutually-Assured-Destruction.
(This is what will happen if a country gets a nuclear erection and decides to launch the nukes...)
Any situation which will result in the deaths of most of the worlds species is bad in my books. However, with more and more countries gaining access to nuclear weapons, I am starting to worry. Countries have them as "deterants" but in order for it to "deter" then you need them to believe that you will launch that missile. For some reason, I don't think big democratic countries will want that kind of responsibility over their heads. But what if a communist country who hate every country in the world got hold of some... Then we're all going to hell in a paper boat people. In that situation, I suggest finding the ones you love and saying goodbye. We might not have the balls to strike first, but we will strike back. No escape for any.
Do you believe this could happen? Comments?


Right then, thats enough for now. Remember, I want people to react to this. I want people to tell me what they think. Comment below, message me, comment on the link on facebook, tweet me, whatever. Let me know what you think.


Peace out bubs.
