Anger Begets Anger Begets...

two things that frustrate the crap out of me. (PS: 2 posts today)

First up, Happened in theater today. somebody make a snarky comment about jenna and snuff. and ARGH, it was exactly like the choir thing from september. they're lucky i've learned to control myself, because they could be dead right now. they were saying how it was disgusting how jenna and snuff looked at each other, and UGH, when they were talking, I could almost see the word ENVY printed on their forehead. (crap, i'm going to add something about the deadly sins on the end now). The most frustrating thing of all was that, thinking back, this person had the same reaction when i brought Sarah to an event of the friends. it just frustrates me now to know what they were saying when i couldn't hear them.

second off, is my father. the man is one of the most frustrating people to know because he's to stubborn to admit a mistake to me. His sins would be PRIDE and WRATH. but he's the single most frustrating person ever (of course, he's really not all that bad... i guess there are worst things, i'm just flustered)

And since i brought it up, I might as well finish off this thought. The Seven Deadly Sins.

we all know 'em. Pride, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Lust.

now, we of course associate them with bad things, when in reality, they're quite good such as:
When we think of Greed, we think of money, but in reality, it's anyone who wants something and will do anything to get it. these people are passionate about what they wish to achieve.

Pride doesn't just mean good looks, it also means the persons understands their work and takes pride in doing the best they can. these people are hard-working.

Gluttony isn't always about food, but is one that you can't construe as a good thing. a Gluttonous person always takes more than they need, but this usually means (if were talking about money) they'll have a nice cushion if they get into trouble.

Slothful people usually think before acting, making them good strategists and great intellectuals (though often think then never act)

Envy means you want what others have, but tend to be very good at giving compliments and building people up (because they know all the good things they have)

Wrath doesn't mean your angry all the time. it means you become angry over many things. these people tend to make decisions and stick with them through thick and thin.

Lust is a desire to fill your needs. be it social or physical. these people tend to be straight forward.

Now for the more contraversal part of our show, where i match people with their sins based on unbiased observation.

first off, is of course...

James Mahaney. Sins: Greed, Pride, Sloth, Gluttony (NOTE: if you want an explaination of any of these, please just ask, and don't my head off for bringing this up. i think it's helpful to now your sins :D)(this are in descending order, first being predominate, there on being less)

Katie Baker. Sins: Wrath (very passivist, but never get on katies bad side, it's a bad place (i should know, but me and katie are past that now :D)), Pride.

Chris Cooper. Sins: Envy, Pride, Greed, Lust

Kelsy Coit. Sins: Envy, Lust

Ian Gorham. Sins: Sloth, Wrath, Lust

Sarah Wente. Sins: Envy, Wrath

Jenna Geris. Sins: Envy, Pride, Lust

(First off, i put envy up there alot, that's kind of odd i guess, next i'll decide to continue this later if i feel like it)

Jay said...

I gotcha. I see it. Envy, Lust, Pride...yup.

Also, thanks for your support on the goings-on of me and Snuff. He gets a lot of crap.

You forgot "vanity" in your list of sins.

Not gonna lie... This is a really weird post. I mean with the whole thing bout identifying other people's sins, and whatnot. But it's very interesting!

Haha and I will always give Snuff and Jenna poop for dating, but it's LOVEpoop, because I love them. And playful mocking is my form of affection. So yeah; if you ever hear ME making fun of them, don't think it's cuz I hate them or I'm jealous. It's cuz I love them a lot a lot a lot :D

Vanity is technically under the umbrella of Pride.

oh yeah, i know. the person i was talking about was saying away from them and with the utmost seriousness in their voice (i can tell when someones playing, as i do it as well :D)

thanks for the explanation! i totally see that

(in response to your response to me)
Pffffft. Then you shoud slap that bitch up!

Yeah, I figured you were putting vanity under pride.... But I kind of like vanity on its own, because it deals with worldliness, which I find intriguing....

Also, you should talk more about this. I have a fascination with the deadly sins, and I like hearing other people's perspectives on it :)
