18, going on 19 years I have walked this earth. There are others here who are considered by God's law to be my brothers. Yet there are many faults found in them as well as me, for I am one of them.

I spent a long while yet a short time trying to live up to the people's standards. I can remember the times through childhood, school, home, times when i've cursed to fit in, desired to be like others, desired female's attention, loathing my appearance. "He's not cute. He's not my type. I don't like you like that. Look at his clothes." Times when i've wanted approval from my fathers, and from society, always not being good enough. "Guys don't do those kind of things. You should play sports. You are only worth something if you play sports."

Through pain and abandonment i was brought to Truth. I was alone, I was abanboned by this world, shunned and ridiculed. I was thrown into the cold snow weeping and afraid--trusting noone. A Man came up to me and took me in. He showed me things noone else in this world could have shown me. He loved me as a father, He definitely was not of this world. I couldn't help but notice His hands...two wounds, one on each hand. He was the one who took my sin and imperfection and loved me like no other. He told me His name... It was Jesus.

I now know that I am worthless to this world, but of eternal worth to God. Man is useless in filling voids. Can the lost lead the lost? Can a brother fill the void of a father? All in this world has proven themselves failures in that area. But God, the one who loves me eternally, who cared when noone cared has taken me under His wing, and loved me like no other. Man, I seek you no longer. Woman, your affection is not mine. God will bring me a true woman, a wife who is of Him. Praise God for His love. He is my Father and I am His son. May the other lost sheep find Him quickly.

This is why I don't watch TV during commercial breaks. I just want to let off some steam about various rediculously sickening commercials that I unfortunately find on TV. Sorry about the negativity.

1. Sylvan Learning Center: First of all, I am sick of the lying. Here's my rule: If any commercial has to hire actors to play more-than-phony parts and make something look better than it is, their product is crap. I'm tired of the glorious sunlight shining through the window, and the emotional teary-eyed faces the parents make when they see the grades. From what I hear, they overprice (note they don't include prices in their commercials) and you can get just as good quality at coach class.

2. Checkers commercials: Once again, the lying. They show these people holding these big 5-pound burgers--may I add that I absolutely CANNOT STAND the way they hold them; on the edges like their hands can't fit around them--yet when you go there they charge you 5 dollars for a silver-dollar-sized burger.

3. Pizza Hut: I thought I might add a positive one. I like pizza hut, and their commercials are pretty true, because everytime I get a pizza from there it looks like what they show on the commercial. The service isn't bad either. That's true advertisement.

4. Chocolate/Coffee commercials, period. I find these to be overexaggerated and unnecessary. They find the most french-sounding, dry-mouthed woman they can find to do the narration for these commercials. They want to make sure she says "rich and creamy" just right, and pronounce "chocolate" in the most milky, creamy and delicious way possible to make it sound fancier than it is and you just HAVE to have it. Its just chocolate. It's just coffee. Enough with all the italian "blank-a-chino" words and accents. It's not that serious.

Yes--most of these are about food. These are the types I see the most blatant lying. Its almost like advertisement is a synonym for lying. You might see more commercials on here later. Comment back--I want to hear what you think.
