"Falling in love with Jesus"

"Fall in love with Jesus" is one of the top annoying phrases that some Christians use today.  These are the same Christians who also say that they will "love on" people.  Those phrases just don't sound right.  First of all, how are you supposed to "fall in love" with the Son of God?  Are you going to woo Him?  Make Him a candle lit dinner?  Take Him out on a nice date?  Sure it makes sense to say it to a woman, but how they heck can you say that to a guy, "Hey dude, you need to fall in love with Jesus." WHAT?!  That doesn't even sound right! Just stop saying that... Instead, say something like "Talk to Jesus/God daily," OR better yet! just tell people "Pray.  Pray daily and let God know what's going with you & thank Him for giving you another day to live."

Also, I understand that it's not the eros type of love when the annoying people say it... however, I'm not so sure that the non-Christian population understands that, so be careful when you say it, better yet don't say it at all.

Please stop saying "Fall in love with Jesus."  It just sounds creepy, weird, and somebody will get the wrong idea.  Just sayin'

P.S. The Bible doesn't say "fall in love with Jesus." Instead, the Bible says to ACKNOWLEDGE God, not fall in love with Him.

AAA Stickers

This doesn't really grind my gears too much, but it's something that I don't understand.  Many cars in Central and Northern California have the UGLY AAA sticker on them.  Why?  I don't get it.  Why on earth would you put that sticker on your car?  It's not going to make the tow truck guys find you any faster and it certainly does not make you a better driver.

Why? 

By the way, when I went home to visit my family in Southern California (for me, that's anything south of the Grapevine), I only saw 2 cars with that dumb sticker.  So thank you Southern California for not ruining your cars with that hideous sticker.

Watching TV with "little" kids

It drives me crazy when I'm watching tv with a little kid and they ask me about things that have already been explained on the show... "Why is she crying?' 'Why are they going in the spaceship?' 'Where are they going?" It just shows me that they're either really dumb or not listening. Pay attention! If you can't put two & two together, then we'll just watch a baby show to stimulate your mind.  It's even more annoying when they ask you what's going to happen during a show/movie you've never seen before.

Holidays

This doesn't grind my gears, but why do we have Grandparent's Day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day, but no Kid's day? Lets get this straight...

Your mother and father both get to be honored on: their birthday & their designated holiday (Mother's Day/Father's day).  I don't count anniversaries because if your not married to that person, you are not obligated to celebrate with/for them... That's what my father has taught me.

Your grandparents get honored on: their birthday, Mother's/Father's Day, and Grandparent's Day.

Now, what about us non parent/non grandparents? We only have our birthday.

What the hell Hallmark?

Harry Potter

There are a few things that bother me in the Harry Potter series… One major annoying thing is that Hogwarts can't seem to find a good dark arts teacher. What the heck?! It's so annoying 'cause every year they have trouble with it. If I was a student at Hogwarts and they had trouble with it, I would refuse to take the class. I wouldn't risk my life for a class… For magical people, they're pretty dumb.

By the way, how come we never hear about grades or graduations at Hogwarts?

Public Speakers

One thing about some public speakers that grinds my gears is when they get all emotional while telling you a story and when they're done they're magically not emotional anymore.  I'm sure you've all encountered this type of public speaker.  Don't they know it starts to get annoying when they keep doing that?  It makes their stories less emotional 'cause the whole time I'm thinking stuff like, "This isn't that emotional, why would they cry about that?" OR "He's full of it," and I start to anticipate that moment they switch their emotions back.  Don't get emotional just to captivate the audience & then switch back to speaking to me like normal.  It's annoying.

Intro

Hi there!

I have been encouraged to start this blog... So here it is.

Here you will be able to read my thoughts on the things that bother me & I'm pretty sure there are people out there that get bothered by these things too.
