A thought I've had for a long time has been "Why is pride considered a sin?". You hear the word all the time - you're supposed to have pride in your country, or pride in your school...but what about ourselves? I guess people would just think you're "egotistical" if you show any semblance of confidence. Still, does having any form of self-confidence buy you a one-way ticket into an eternity of hell-fire? This is just one of the many reasons I turned my back on the church forever ago.
In a way, I guess it makes sense. They don't want to promote having a sense of self-worth, because you are to serve a god. Your life is to be devoted to said god, for an eternity in a Kingdom in the afterlife. However, this whole concept sounds so absurd to me. I simply refuse to believe my whole existence is centered around someone/thing else...and history has shown that there are people who agree. Many monarchies around the world were overthrown, and most modern societies now have democracies in some form. This is because, simply put, people had more pride in themselves than to succumb to someone else's will.
There are many lessons to be found in History, and I think that being proud of who you are is, as odd as it seems, one of them. It's been the basis of many wars - fighting simply for the right to be who you are - and I don't want to let thousands of years of history down and not take a message. Regardless of it's a sin or not, I am who I am, and I am ****ing proud of that.

Take A Look Inside
Theus
so I want money, women, status, eternal life, fame and everything else in this world and…? greed may not be good but it’s not bad either, you humans think that greed is just for money and power, but everyone wants something they don’t have
be either a friend, love, a relative that died but you want to see again, it is greed no matter how much you think it isn't but in fact is, there will always be a little of greed in your heart you can deny it but it will always be there with you :3

GLUTTONY
For this round, I decided to approach gluttony in a different way. Each song I chose uses food as a metaphor for sex.
RIHANNA FT CHRIS BROWN - BIRTHDAY CAKE
It's not even my birthday
But he want to lick the icing off
I know you want it in the worst way
Can't wait to blow my candles out
He want that cake
I know you wanna bite this, it's so enticing
Nothing else like this, I'mma make you my bitch
Sweeter than a rice cake, cake worth sipping
Kill it, tip it, cake, fill it
ANNIE - THE BREAKFAST SONG
What do you want, what do you want for breakfast?
What do you want?
Tell me, what do you want?
What do you want, uh?
Get out of town, it's time to eat
No time to sleep, we'll have some fun
You know what I was thinking
Gonna have a good time, baby
Come on
Got myself a fun time, hey boy
LANA DEL REY - COLA
My ***** taste like Pepsi-Cola,
My eyes are wide like cherry pies.
I gots a taste for men who're older
It's always been, so it's no surprise.
Drugs suck it up
Like vanilla icies
Don't treat me rough,
Treat me really niceys
Come on baby, let’s ride
I know your wife and she wouldn't mind

The Seven Deadly Sins
The Sloth Trinity
Sloth. noun
reluctance to work or make an effort; laziness. (also an awkward looking mammal that moves slowly and hangs from trees).
Jack Johnson is most known for his easy listening discography, and this song is no different. A perfect example for the Sloth trinity, Banana Pancakes is about a rainy day where you just want to lay in bed with your significant other and let the day pass you by.
"Lady, lady, love me. 'cause I love to lay here lazy. We could close the curtains. Pretend like there's no world outside."
Sigh. As much as I absolutely hate this song, it's absolutely perfect for this round. I mean, it is called The Lazy Song for God's sakes. The most self-explanatory song of my trinity, it's about someone who wants to be lazy all day simply because they can.
"Today I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed. Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone, 'cause today I swear I'm not doing anything."
Perhaps the most melancholy song in this trinity, (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay tells the story of a man who left home because he had nothing to live for. Now he sits on a dock, day in and day out, watching the boats come and go while he waits for things to change in his life.
"I left my home in Georgia, headed for the Frisco Bay cuz I've had nothing to live for and look like nothing's gonna come my way. So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away, ooh. I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time"
Kitt
“Jesus said don't do it
I didn't listen to him, gon' do it
Tired of ****** wastin' my time
Chasin dreams on my dime
Like Tommy you ain't got no job
Always talkin' about how you a star
Patience running out, won't last
'Bout to blow ******, better run fast”

“'Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it?”
“I didn't wanna do it, Father
But I caught him with another woman in the bed I made him
So I put him in a grave.”

The Envy Trinity
Like or not, we are all envious of someone. We want to be just like them, have exactly what they have. It's unfair that they have it and you don't... it really is. You feel like it's an injustice that they have that special something and you don't.. This is a story about a girl named Lucky who is envious about a girl named Christina. This is told by her point of view, She wants her...
I'm Envious of her...
Love
Ugh.. She's so lucky to have him. I wanted him way more then she did.. We belong together, he deserves better then that skank! I've had a crush on him since I was in elementary school, his name's Niko. I've dreamed of being his girlfriend from the day I met him, and now that nasty looking trashtina took him away from me.. I just want to be in her shoes for one day, so he can be mine. Maybe I'm just sad that Christina used to be my friend.. and she knows I've always liked him. She's totally out to get me. Ugh. What I would give for her to just get out the way so I can get in the picture. I would treat him so much better then she does. I guess you could say I'm jealous, but this is the person i've always dream-pt of being with, and she took him away from me. I belong with him, she doesn't.
I'm Envious of her...
Money
How'd she even get so rich? It's probably all from her parents, she is so lazy. I work my a** off everyday, just so I can pay for my sh**ty apartment. She has all these gucci shoes and hand bags, new versace cloths daily, I've never seen her wear the same outfit. And she doesn't even appreciate it.. If i was a rich girl, I'd have all the money in the world.. I wouldn't be such a b!tch 24/7 like she is. Christina doesn't even get anything for her boyfriend either, she expects him to buy her things, even though she could afford to buy a whole store full of clothing. It just makes me angry how she can sit on her a** all day doing nothing, and have nothing to worry about except for how her outfit matches today. I work all day and night, just so I can put food on the table.... it's just unfair
I'm Envious of her...
Body
Literally all she does everyday is lay on her bed and text her "boyfriend". I go to the gym, try to lose weight, but she still looks way better then I do. She has the body like a supermodel, and I struggle to get the body of a soccer mom. It's so aggravating. The fact that she can dance like it's hot any time any day, but all she does is sit all day... it makes me SO MAD. I work out and train at least an hour everyday, but I still can't get near her weight.. I feel fat looking at her. Everything about her makes me angry, I work so much harder then her, getting love, money, and a good body, while she doesn't work at anything but she still is better then me at everything. I'm vet envious of her.. but what can I do.. she has everything handed to her I guess
I feel so guilty. Mine just feels so...lacking without an introduction and little write up for each song. Forever going to regret not using the time I had.
at Citrus asking what "plug in" was.
