So yeah, things pretty much suck right now. Job, roommate, family, its like everything conspired to go to shit all at once. I don't think I've been this depressed since I was a angst ridden teenager. What I hate more is the fact being depressed feels so natural because I've spent more of my life this way than any other.
So, I'm reading this book, The Rising by Tim LaHaye and Jeffy B. Jenkins. Its the 13th book in the Left Behind serie, the Christian book series about the Rapure and Anti-Christ and stuff. They are all so amazingly written. I'm nothing near Chirstian but its a facinating read. When you look at the book of Revelations in the Bible its so arcane and unimaginable, thats whats awesome about these books is it takes all that and make is real. There view of how it could happen. I've just always found the topic terribly interesting even though I don't believe in it. Side from the topic, the author is a master of words and writing.
What annoys the hell out of me, is the fact so many people call these books crap, not because of the writing, but because of the topic. A good writer could make under water basket weaving sound like the most earth-shattering thing, so topic has absolutly nothing to do with whether a book is good or not. And frankly, I've always been interested in why more people aren't interested in the Bible. Learning and taking an interest in it has nothing to do with having to believe. Come on, our country is being run off of what this book says, wars has been declared, murder commited, all in the name of one book. One would think people would at least be interested, if for no other reason than to be able to put up a good arguement against believers.
Its odd, I find myself defending Christianity much more than anything else. I'm not a Christian, I don't ever see myself becoming one, yet I defend it better than Christians themselves. I really don't feel that I'm pro-christian or pro-athiest, as I am against misinformation and lies. And there is more of those out there in regard to the faith being spread about by both believers and the none believers than fact I think.
Fuck, I really didn't mean to write all that. Please excuse my pointless rant. I'm going back to my hole in the ground.

You know, I was about to message you at LB to see if you were okay. I haven't seen you around in a bit and I kinda had a feeling everything wasn't okay. I'll be around if you want to talk, let me know. *hugs*
Yeah I was starting to wonder as well. I hope you get over this soon, and who cares as long as you enjoy the books, those that don't can just not ever know how good they are. I really liked some books that others would turn thier noses up to.
*applauding*
