Book of Eli
I decided to watch The Book of Eli movie, starring Denzel Washington today. I was curious to see what it was all about and I enjoyed the movie until the end. There were a few parts of the movie that I didn’t care for, but I don’t want to spoil it so I’ll keep my opinion very simple. Overall the movie was great, but I did not appreciate Hollywood promoting a perversion of the Bible. They are so many new translations of the Bible that are all perversions of God’s word, and the Bible that was in this movie was one of them. At the very end of the movie the Bible isn’t a King James Bible. It’s a New King James Bible! That just killed it for me when it comes to this movie, but what do you expect? Nothing Godly comes from the world (Hollywood).
In other news we are suppose to be moving out of this God forsaken apartment into a house this week! I cannot wait to get out of here. I am tired of this place! The heat makes a loud banging noise when it comes on. – It sounds like prisoners in chains, banging against the bars with them. Literally, that’s how loud it is. On top of that, there’s this loud popping noise that I have to try to sleep through that happens from time to time over and over again. Of coarse we have the mice issue which we can hear them scurrying through the walls and on top of that I’m getting really sick and tired of someone leaving boxes of unwanted food outside my door like we’re some charity case or something! We have a fridge full of food and people have the nerve! It’s quite insulting! The food is usually just crap they don’t want, expired cans of stuff, and or stuff thats opened already! Why would I use your left over salt! Or sugar you tied in a food storage bag? Do I look that stupid or desperate to say the least? If it was that bad here, I could easily go up the hill(a few blocks) and ask my mom and dad for help before I ever feed my family the left over scraps out of someones cabinet! Seriously I can’t wait until we move out. I’m considering putting a note on our door stating:
Please do not leave food here, we are not a charity case! Thank you.
At first I thought it was just a nice gesture even though we didn’t need it, but when it started becoming an ongoing thing it’s really irritating and embarrassing! It gives people the impression that we don’t have anything and that we’re just this poor family, struggling just to put food on the table!!
omg wasn’t The Book of Eli a good movie. Idk if it was me or whatever but my cousins say Denzel shouldn’t have played that role. But I think he played it okay. So did you move into the house? I hope all is going good.
Out here no one would do that, they’d just call you poor and not help you out at all.
I’m not a very religious person, but I believe in God. However, my opinion is that the Bible is a guide to life. I think that everyone is entitled to interpret how they see it to fit their own individual lives or struggle. One of the reasons why some things are misinterpreted so terribly is that everyone is brought up to believe that some things are to be taken as they are seen written in the Bible. Everything in this world can be viewed at different standpoints. I believe that even if someone interprets something a different way than another person, if it’s meant in a good way or with good intent, then there’s nothing wrong with it.
Your living situation sounds unbearable and I’m happy to hear that you guys are getting out of that situation. Although it’s a nice gesture what these people are doing, I can see why you would find it offensive and they should take that into consideration also.
I have yet to see that movie and I call myself a Denzel Washington fan.
Congrats on getting a new place! I’m truly happy for you because I can totally relate to your situation, especially when you mentioned the mice in the walls. I couldn’t go to sleep one night because of that racket.
I can also understand how you are offended by what someone thought was thoughtful. If it were me, I’d definitely leave that note. I could understand if it were items that weren’t outdated, opened, etc. Hell, if it beats going to the store to buy, I’ll take it. But as you mentioned, giving you and your family LEFTOVERS, that is a little too much!
