so, my brother made a bulletin on myspace[gasp] that talked all about stereotypes. you've probably seen it...it goes a bit like this...

I'm GAY, so I MUST have AIDS.

I'm RELIGIOUS, so I MUST shove my beliefs down your throat.

I'm ATHEIST so i MUST hate the world.

I DON'T HAVE A RELIGION, so I MUST be "evil" and not have any morals.

I'm SOUTHERN, so I MUST be white trash.

I'm a CHEERLEADER, so I MUST be a whore...

I'm a DANCER, So i must be stupid, stuck up, and a whore

I'm a TEENAGE MOM, so I MUST be an irresponsible slut.

ok so, there are a few...a few that caught my attention. so, i thought about this, and how quick we are to judge. oh yes, even the christians are quick to judge. maybe even a little bit quicker, because we have all te answers because well, we have Christ. but how often do we just sit back and try to look at those people and put ourselves in their shoes and just watch the world from their life. i dont know about you, you im a people watcher. no, i dont really like to go to the mall and just sit there and watch others but on campus, i love to walk alone. i love to watch how other people interact with one another and i think its interesting to know what they are talking about. but that's just me. so, my first point on my stereotype soapbox is to STOP. just stop. i know its hard. but really, we dont have the golden ticket.

Secondly, as soon as i went from that myspace bulletin i hopped over to my own myspace. and the verse for today was...

"there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." _galatians 3:28

so here it is...my version
_neither prude nor rebel, slut nor punk, jock nor geek, we are all one in Christ_ cheesy, i know, but i'm in the cheesy-its-very-late-i-should-really-be-asleep-but-i'm-avoiding-my-8 am-class-and-6 am-alarm mood.
i love you all. and dont forget to cut everyone else some slack.
