a man's soap opera.

for the longest time i thought women and people that followed soap opera's were rediculous when they would talk about the characters like they just finished having a heart to heart with the person. i know there's going to be some girl reading this and be like:

"joey, that is just not true! you are a heartless, narscisistic, ignorant boy who knows nothing of what kenny and bebe are going through right now. someone has just kidnapped their [illegitament] kid and is threatening to sell him to some guy down in cuba if they don't come up with 20 million or if bebe doesn't give herself up for the child. but she can't because she's been "doing the deed" with kenny's brother so that her she-boss thinks she's cool enough to keep her job. she's just caught between a rock and a hard place, so you just don't know and if you don't know then you shouldn't say anything about it."

i don't even understand who you should feel sorry for in a situation such as that but i have come to a gripping reality recently that somewhat bothers me. i have come to realize that men have their soap opera's too, we just don't call them soap opera's cause ours are on during primetime television. i hate to admit this but i am the worlds biggest fan of CSI. csi: miami. csi: ny. csi: crime scene investigation (that's the original). i am! and not only that, i talk about the characters like i'm on a first name basis with them. especially with csi miami. it's sad i know but it's true. i...in a way...watch my own soap opera. 

now you will never hear me say "i'm going to watch my soap opera so shut up or go to the other room" but i will refer to the characters in csi miami in first person such as horatio, or eric, or calleigh, or wolf.  i just thought about that just a bit ago and thought i'd share that with you.

now everyone go read Jeremiah 29:11.

it's one of my favorite verses ever.

it's so comforting a reassuring to know that He, Yaweh, has plans for me. and to know that i can't do anything about it because it's in His hands is even a better feeling because i don't need to be worrying about it. God's got it under control. i am so thankful that God has given me His word so that i can read the plans he has for me and know that he loves me unconditionally!

have a blessed and happy thanksgiving!

i am thankful for all of you guys!
