If you have your own views on issues or what-not and would like to submit them, please e-mail me! I would also like some humor based on Christian, Goth, or Christian Goth topics. Since I've made myself look silly enough here I figured my audience should join in.
Death
Goths are generally famous when it comes to the subject of death. Some I know would rather be dead; they're practically obsessed with it. That got me thinking (oh boy, lock the doors).
To those of you who want to be dead, try and imagine yourself if you were. Would you be happy? Would you be sad? No one knows. You wouldn't even be able to think about it because you'd be---well---dead.
I agree with what I've read many places before; why not focus on Christ's death instead? Sure, it's a little bloody. But who says goths have to be afraid of blood? Heh.
My personal comment: the reason I
haven't killed myself yet (besides fearing my stuff would go to the wrong people) is because I really
love studying death. I must be alive in order to appreciate it. Know what I mean? Think about it.
Antichrist
Hm, I thought of something: if it weren't for
Christ, there wouldn't even BE an Antichrist.
Finding a Church
It makes me angry when a church won't let someone join because of the way they dress. I was thinking about that one day and came up with replies to "I'm sorry, you're not welcome here." They can be said in an angry tone or a humorous tone. I think you'd get farther with a humorous tone. Here they are:
"Look, you want me to go to church or not?"
"You're really making this Christianity thing hard for me."
"What would Jesus do?"
If you have any more suggestions, email me.
Their Makeup Issues
Sometimes---SOMETIMES---my friend and I go to the opera. We basically only like talking during intermission, but she's been known to go nuts about something Opera-ish sometimes *cough-mostofthetime*, despite how much she denies it.
We were going to La Bohème, and as were going in to get our seats she kept commenting on my purple lipstick. I really have no idea why (I was wearing a purple shirt to match). She doesn't really seem to support me being a goth, so that would explain part of it.
"Don't you feel weird wearing purple lipstick in a place like this?" she kept saying.
"Look, it's no different then red or pink lipstick," I kept repeating.
She didn't seem to get it.
Why do people seem to be bothered by the makeup goths seem to wear? Dudes, I see preps walking around every day
wearing so much glittery eyeshadow they probably glow in the dark---even AFTER they take it off.
People seem to think THAT'S ok. So...why not like it when goths wear makeup? Hey, at least we don't wear it to get some jock to go out with us. And then there's people deciding whether male goths should or shouldn't wear makeup. LAY OFF US!
Being Labeled
Smee: "I've just had an apostrophe!"
Hook: "Don't you mean an epiphany?"
Smee: "Lightnin' has just struck my brain."
Hook: "That must really hurt."
lol, Anyone like the movie Hook? You don't? Who cares.
Ok, so I've had a REVELATION (I like that word)! Now I know there's a lot of you out there who don't like being titled "goth" or whatever you're titled, but I've just realized:
Without labels there wouldn't be expression. Without expression there wouldn't be language. Without language there wouldn't be verbal intercourse. Without verbal intercourse there wouldn't be survival.
Pain Lover
I believe this is about cutting or self mutilation or whatever you call it. I love pain, and I don't hide it. But there are more things we can do with our free time.
Ride a bike. Dissect a grasshopper. Raise some fish. Play an instrument. Write random things on your website. Whatever...there's always a way.
Besides, I like to cherish the pain when it happens unpurposely. It's better that way. ^_^
