Life to the Full...

Whassup! :)

Someone once said that you've got to take a look around every once in a while and appreciate your current situation no matter how bad it seems and there's many a truth in a statement like that because we can be so easy at times to snap-judge what goes on around us and assume it's all, well, s***e!

At this point, I say "don't be so serious all the frickin' time"! Life's too damn short to spend it looking at the speed bumps we hit, and we should just, as my good mate Johnny says "crack on" and get doing what we're called to.

"But how do I know what that is?" you cry and I say take a look at what you're good at and BE THE BEST AT IT!!!

If you don't know what that is, then ask God, for crying out loud!

For me, too long did I formerly spend time questioning my identity through churches I've been to (very clique-heavy churches they were!), so-called "friends" I've made in the process, when in actual fact the real question was not 'who do they say I am?', but "who does God say I am?"! Why? Because to me it's a mistake NOT to ask that if I profess to be a follower of Jesus and not just a believer!

Whatever your belief system, I don't have any problems with you whatsoever, because your decisions are your own to make and not mine. All I do is stand on my allotment, and shout forth my claim for what I believe in and THAT is that! RESPECT to y'all anyways, whoever you are! ;)

What I do have a problem with is the people who try to pigeon-hole you and me (ie. label us as something we're not!) or exclude us from this or that (just because our damn face doesn't fit, as an example!).

Come on, I'm sure we can all think of examples of the pendejos who think it's fine to put you down/keep you under the thumb where they can control you! Well, let them try it now I say... let them try it NOW!

Last year, I tried to correct a "friend's" behavioural patterns last year and paid the price of the termination of our friendship... the question I want you to know that I asked myself can be taken from Lauren Cooper "Am I bovvered?!"

Straight away, I can hear some saying the words of Vicky Pollard "omigosh, I so can't believe you just said that" (sic!)... but what the REAL issue here is that God issued me with a challenge to try and correct this person's behaviour with the subtlety of a SLEDGEHAMMER (because the point WAS necessary and wholly valid!), in other words to "say it like I mean it" because it was not me it was coming from, but Christ Himself and it was thrown back in my face as though I was judging them!

Some may say "you were, brah!" and to them I say nope, you're wrong and as far as I'm concerned, I simply did as I was instructed to do; I heard, I followed and I obeyed... nothing more was I supposed to do! ;)

Enough of that... that's just what's ground my gears over recent years of practicing what I preach, being me, the self-professed "Sensational One"! 

Again, mock all you like, because I know who I am and THAT is the end of that! ;)

See? I told you it wouldn't be 'self-obsessed' and 'egocentric' from the beginning, didn't I? (sic!) :P

Why else am I doing this only to vent, vent, vent and provoke either thought or reaction, simply BECAUSE I CAN and because it's what I'm good at!!!

Peace out!
