some ramblings

so i know that either way i'm going to get lots of reactions, but either way, this has been bugging me for a while.  we all know that we shouldn't ever talk about religion or politics with people we don't know well.  well i'm breaking one of those today.

so i'm basically waiting for the novelty of having a black president to wear off.  not because i don't think we should have a black president, i think it is a huge step for our country.  but what i don't like about it is that obama's leading credential is that he isn't white.  people just got enamored w/ that and let it run and that's what killed me about the election.  watching espn and a female basketball player said that the best part about going to the final 4 was getting to meet president obama, not actually playing in the final 4.  nobody would have said that if anyone else won the election.  ever since he took office he hasn't done anything but make the U.S. look like morons.  case and point, he bowed down before the leader of another country.  not a respectful bow, but a cowering and shameful bow.  and barely anyone heard about it because the liberal media disregarded it.  people got mad at how much money bush spent on stuff but all obama has done is spend even MORE money but people haven't given a good damn about that.  all that has "changed" is the color of our presidents skin.  again, i believe that it's a huge step even having a black nominee but i also believe you should have better credentials than simply being a minority and a good speaker.  anyway, i'm done with this.  just had to rant and get it over with.

anyway, so i decided what i'm going to do and where i'd get it for when i get my first tattoo/tattoos.  it's kinda a 2 part thing but the fact that i'm even thinking about it is big since i absolutely hate needles.

it'd be this on my right arm.  just the hebrew part

and then on my left arm it would be this

so the meaning behind it is actually an anberlin lyric.  from the song "the unwinding cable car" there is a line that says "this is the correlation of salvation and love" the tattoo leads in towards my heart, because to me, it was jesus' heart that was the go between between his love and our salvation.  i chose hebrew b/c a) i think it's beautiful when written out and b) most of the bible was written in hebrew when it was written.  i'm not sure if i'll have the consonants put in the tattoo but that's whatever.  i know that ruins the written language but unless you have someone that really knows the language nobody is going to be able to tell the difference.  anyway, that's about all i got.
