"Myspace" madness

When I was a teen, we were encouraged to “express ourselves”. Either in writing, drawing, whatever. Creative thinking was something to be embraced. These days it seems that creative thinking is to be embraced only if it fits “PC” standards. Seems like kids are being raised by the system to be fearful of their own thoughts if it doesn’t fit the mandated norm. “Myspace” seems to allow their creative juices to flow. Yes mom, I know I know. There is such a thing as right and wrong, inappropriate thoughts, consequences for one’s actions, and parental guidance. (On that thought, are we watching what our kids post/watch?) But hear this, those are OUR lessens to teach as parents, Not the governments.

im in that class at the teen center. its on tuesdays. they just started that session so we are doing some basic stuff. But us kids are helping the leaders there think of project and we got some cool things coming up.*(and some graffiti wall art) its alrite.

we even get to draw on the roof sometimes.

if you arent in the whole art, drawing thing, they have pool tournements every day and guitar, drum lessons.

its also a kind of Cristian place. they got Bibles stack up on this one table for us to look at and a pic of jesus gettin his hand hammered to the cross from that one movie, Passion of the Christ.
