i used to think a blog was just a way to get your thorts down... in a public space because yes someone else might be interested in hearing what you think; or else it was an opportunity to make some laugh or challenge someone about life and living; and of course the opportunity to have moments of complete randomness, because i like random. it helps fill in the gaps. but i'm learning that that is [...]
years ago a book called 'Velvet Elvis' came out by this new kid on the block, rob bell, and everyone was reading it and telling me it was the greatest book ever and blah blah blah... i eventually got hold of it [was going thru my phase of taking my time to rush to trending books] and read it and didn't particularly dig it all that much - it was ok and there were some [...]
not to be confused with 'can't i just enjoy this big thing first?' some people refuse to let go of stuff. and it kills them. some people it actually genuinely physically kills them, cos you can trace ulcers and other stress-related diseases and conditions to the unforgiveness and disappointments that they held onto for a considerable amount of their lives someone once said "holding onto unforgiveness is like drinking a cup of poison and hoping [...]
i have a saying that 'people tend towards stupid' and generally life (and smokers flinging cigarette butts out of car windows) continues to prove me correct on this one... another prime example of this seems to be the mono-dimensional thort patterns of pedestrians in stellenbosch who will be walking along the pavement, possibly talking to a friend or messaging on their phone or vibing by themself and then they come to a road intersection and [...]
okay i've posted quite a bit today already so those 5 of you who subscribe and are getting notification emails must really be hating... but this one i couldn't resist, and i have been fairly quiet in recent days (i think) let's get this straight to begin with - this is a hypothetical blog - we don't have a baby and in fact we don't particularly want one right now and with the beautiful val's [...]
so i read this article in the restaurant this morning while waiting for my buddy to arrive. firstly it was set in miami secondly the premise of it is completely hilarious slash disturbing as in this line: 'burglars snorted remains of a man and two dogs in the mistaken belief that they had stolen illegal drugs' thirdly, that's not the best part fourthly it goes on 'once they realised their error the suspects discussed returning [...]
i enjoy blogging - i like the opportunity to pour my thorts and deep musings as well as my heavily superficial hopefully humorous nut job ramblings out onto virtual paper that a couple of other people may read and be challenged or amused or impacted or shaken by... and i enjoy engaging with people - i love it when people disagree with me if they have a good argument that shows they are really thinking [...]
sometimes i like to picture Jesus in a modern day setting and wonder how His life and ministry would have looked if it was 2011 when God decided to come to earth in human form to settle the original score instead of 2000ish years ago would He have watched movies or played computer games? Would He have had His own Facebook page or blog? Would Jesus own a cellphone (my thorts are He probably wouldn’t [...]
i stumbled upon this article having heard nothing of the joke or even knowing who any of the players are but it really tickled me in a metaphoric kind of way - in a nutshell, i seems like a comedian tweeted an apology for a twitter comment that never existed and then thousands of people got on the bandwagon, lots being sarcastic fans who picked it up and ran with it as if it was [...]
i had this epiphony in the shower the other day - if the only Bible'ing and praying you do is at your church gathering on a sunday once a week, then you don't have a relationship with God, you have a relationship with church. and i think that's how a lot of people live - their spiritual life is their relationship with the meeting on a sunday it becomes a little bit memento meets inception [...]
