So, last night my laptop freaked out. It said there was an error and had to shut Windows down. Now it won't boot Windows. It says hat it can't find a bootable device (i.e. THE FREAKING HARD DRIVE!!!!!) This most likely means one of two things. 1) There is a boot sector virus. That is a virus that keeps your computer from booting and basically the only way to kill those mother ducks is by reformatting your hard drive...erasing everything! I doubt that it's a virus though. I hadn't downloaded anything or installed anything. 2) The other option is that there is a physical problem with the hard drive. i.e. it crapped out and I'll need a new one. There's also the possibility that it's something else and that it can be fixed easier than those two things. But from what it seems those two things are the most likely. Pray that this all works out. I had a lot of important stuff on there. Luckily I do have a external hard drive with a lot of stuff on it, but not everything.
Edit: Apparently my hard drive is dead. So, I ordered a new one. 160GB! That's the only good thing that came out of this, I needed more space and now I've got it...well, I will once I get my new HDD and reload Windows and install all of my programs and rip all of my music again.

Every Man
This is a little different from who I am. I don't listen to hip hop. I found this watching a Christian TV channel at 2am about two weeks ago.
He wrote this song after reading a book about a young girl who was raped by her father and was put into sex slavery.
For some reason it feels to me like this is something God has been putting on my heart a lot recently. Jeremy and I talked about this exact topic (sex slavery) at Cornerstone last week. And as I am writing this post I'm talking to Claire who mentioned that on a social networking site some guys "bid" on her and bought her for $92. Any website that has a fake bidding system that allows jerks to purchase innocent young girls is, in principle, the same as selling girls for sex. That just sickens me.
Interesiting note: MTV refuses to play this video. They wont tell the true story of a young girl that cuts right to the heart and suggests that we as Americians are both directly and indirectly responsible for such things, yet they play videos that encourage lust and objectivfy women.

Here we are again
Here I am, writing in another new blog. I desperately want to write what is on my heart, and yet I fear sharing what I so desperately what to express. (I pray that God would remove the walls fear has created and encourage me to become more transparent) As far as content, expect the basic stuff. Also, expect me to dig deeper into my topics. I wont waste my time or yours with a post that says, "I did this, this, and that today. The end." There will be more substance, more meat. My goal is to paint a picture of my heart with words.
