Take a stand.

Well, I was channel-surfing last night at about 10:15, because I couldn't really get to sleep and I discovered what I suppose was the season finale of Average Joe, which I suppose is some sort of NBC The Bachelor spinoff. Anyway, the guy is choosing between the last two girls. Personally, I don't understand why he was even still thinking, which makes me wonder what exactly he was using to think. First, there's Rachel, who, as they called her, is an "all-American girl." She's just a normal girl with a good wife skillset, she had a sort of glow to her that made her pretty whether she was trying to be or not (I'd say it was another example of the fact that she was beautiful on the inside and it was showing up outside) and she really loved this guy Adam (the Average Joe), and you could tell because she wasn't just like "oh he's so gorgeous" or "I just want to be around him." She just wanted to make him happy. That's love, or at least my own personal simplified-beyond-needing-to-write-a-3-thousand-page-book definition. ANYwho, there's the other girl Sam, who is some sort of high-maintenance, I-need-makeup, can't-cook wrathful-diva typeish girl who would just say again and again: "I think we have a good physical attraction." That's lust, you bloody idiot, not love! Grrrr... Anyway, they guy had both of them meet his parents, and they came to the same obvious conclusion I had: Rachel. The guy's like, "Well, I thought the exact opposite."

Now I'm thinking, Okay, this guy can't possibly be that stupid; the writers must've told him to say that so everyone at home who sees he should DEFINATELY go with Rachel will watch until the end of the show to make sure that he does. So, I gave the writers some credit and watched 'til the end. Guess who he picks.



Sam. That's right, the bleeding immature moron picks Sam! I couldn't believe someone could be so stupid! I mean, the guy's bleeding PARENTS told him that Rachel was very obviously right for him, and he didn't even think about what they bloody said! He even said "If I wanted to start a family, Rachel would be the obvious choice. But if I just want someone to date, then...Sam." ARGHHHHHHHHH!!! The utter IMMATURITY of this guy!

Grrr, the world makes me sick. As that reply on Nikki's blog says, "Men only have enough blood to run one head at a time." While being a bit of a grotesque saying, I guess it's bloody true out in the world, but it's not for me.

Romans 12:2- "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world."

In the world, but not of it. Good thing there's truth there.
