Well, it's posteroo time again, bro's!
Yep, I did just make up a word right then and there, so get used to it 'cos it might just happen again, lol!
Anyways, before I go on to what I'm looking at today, have a gander at this video... The World's Hardest Game, or how to play it and rage at the same time!
It's one of my favourite channels, as I'm sure fellow Rooster Teeth fans will know by now that they like to give Michael the hardest games for him to rage over and boy does he!
I've seen enough of this game this past week to consider that I'm gonna try my hand at playing it...
Welcome to the quirky dimension that is my journey as a Christian and fully devoted (just not perfect!) follower of Christ. Here you'll find out that, as a writer, there's next to nothing I'm not prepared to write about, including my faith. Prepare for a smash-mouth style to collide with colourful topics as I continue to blog into everything that God has called me to be. Do not adjust your monitors, there is nothing wrong with them, you have simply entered... The WRITE Dimension!

Welfare Cuts - Right to the Bone
Whassup, bro's!
It's that time again, where I pick something to get on my soapbox over and this time it's these bloomin' welfare cuts that we knew were coming, but some buried heads in sand until they were upon us.
First, let me set the record straight, as a claimer of Jobseeker's Allowance I can see where this government are coming from as there is definitely a 'benefits culture' out there and I can understand why people such as Iain Duncan Smith (when he doesn't spout drivel like this, he's one of the few I respect) want to make sure it 'pays to work' because that's the way it should be, right? People should make more money when they're actually working rather than sat around on their lard ar$es doing jack all to find work...

Mission Complete!
Whassup, bro's!
Well, looks like the drinks are on me today (pah, yeah right!) as upon commencing this post, I have officially completed my target of writing seventeen posts in this here blog of mine in twenty five days. Goooo ME!
Right, that's enough conceited self-celebration for now!
As a long-time writer, I have often come across varying standards in my field, some that people would find offensive, disgusting and otherwise just weird (read some Edgar Allan Poe or H.P. Lovecraft and you'll see what I mean, bro's!) and it gets me thinking whether these guys actually gave a cr@p about what their fellow peers/critics thought of their work. The reason I raise such a subject as this is because I recall a time when I was writing my first story in 2009's NaNoWriMo competition and though no financial incentive was there, the goal was to inspire me to write a 50,000 word story in the month of November...

Easter Weekend... A Bunnyfied Massacre!
Whassup, bro's!
Well, it's Easter weekend and the Easter bunn... nope, I'm not gonna do it, I thought about it, but I'm not gonna say it. I'm gonna take a moment now to talk about the real meaning of Easter for me.
Yesterday (for 'tis the early hours of Saturday UK time when I write this!), I went to a Good Friday service under the proviso that I was to perform a dramatised reading of a section of the post-Crucifixion period. I was to emulate the role of a centurion (thank goodness it wasn't fancy dress or I'd have looked a right... well, tool!) who was justifying why he'd done what he'd done, merely stating that he was just following orders from Pontius Pilate.
You know? At this point I confess that when I was younger, I used to hate drama...

Multitasking the Right Way
Whassup bro's!
Here I am, writing this entry whilst simultaneously jobsearching and believe you me I know what I'd much rather be doing and I'm sure you can guess...
There have been times in my life where I've had to, not compromise, but certainly adjust accordingly and the job market is one example that springs to mind. I remember, going back to Summer '11, I was starting to really get affected negatively at the lack of job opportunities that were available, then I caught a break...!

Weather? Don't Talk To Me About Weather!
Well...
Here I am in my flat, watching another snowstorm (nah, only kidding, though it'd be more interesting than having my TV wasting power, wouldn't it?!), wondering what to write in the next entry.
I've spent a good couple of hours playing the videogame 'Dead Island' and whilst I'm not surprised they're having another crack at it, it will be a chance to put a few things right (namely the collision detection system which was atrocious in certain circumstances!), but it still is an enjoyable affair to play nonetheless.
Take the numerous, numerous ways that you can dismember the infected (and don't talk to me about those blasted annoying 'scream first then rush headlong at you' infected!) folk of Banoi! My favourite at the moment has to be an electrified machete I've crafted with the workbench and when it scores a critical hit it's za-za-za-zappin'!!!
Why would I bring this up from an entry titled about the weather...?

Wasting Time With Mind Games
Whassup bro's!
As I edge ever closer to smashing my target of 17 in 25 on this here blog, I think to myself (no, not 'what a wonderful world' lolz!) 'what will I do when all is said and done and I've achieved this target?' and the answer comes back to what I always do best; being me!
Yeah, but 'how does that affect the postings I'll be putting up here?' you may or may not be thinking (and really, I don't care either way, lol!) and I can swiftly answer that by saying that nothing's gonna change, this isn't gonna fall by the wayside as life drags me along for the ride of my life. The posts won't change, just as I don't change.
Take today's post, for example, I was going to leave it until tonight so that I could review the Montenegro vs. England match...

Days Like These...
Whassup bro's!
I'm going to make today's piece short as I plan on watching a film shortly, though what it'll be I'm not too sure yet...
Having been to my local housing association today to report the repair I mentioned in the last post, I can now keep that aside and see how long this one takes to resolve itself!
Other than that, I've watched the Brazil vs. Russia game at Stamford Bridge on ITV4, an affair which was quite enjoyable and I thought an upset was on the cards (well, it would have been an upset had Brazil not been so subdued tonight) when the Russian goalscorer Viktor Fayzulin eventually tucked the ball away (I mean, for crying out loud, someone had to score it was thrown at the Brazilian goal that much!) after various Brazilian defenders threw themselves into the path of the ball only to be foiled at the last moment...

F1:Kuala Lumpur - A Race of Differing Fortunes
Whassup, bro's!
Well, this weekend's Grand Prix was certainly an interesting one to say the least!
My first thoughts have to go with the impressive form of Lewis Hamilton, combining last weekend's fifth place with the final step on the podium this week (though not without 'team orders' potentially playing a part in proceedings). Of course, I have to mention Lewis' boo-boo at stopping in the McClaren pits by mistake... now that must've made him think 'aw crap! I'm gonna get ribbed to hell for this!'
The mention of team orders brings to mind a certain overtake that Fernando Alonso was allowed to perform upon Felipe Massa a couple of years back in Hockenheim and of course it is certainly a contentious subject for some pundits/fans...

A Leaky Situation...
Whassup, bro's!
This entry today comes somewhat off the back of an odd day I've had as upon coming back to my flat, I went into my kitchen to discover that the ceiling has been leaking from the walkway overhead.
Picture if you will, the flat I live in is under not one, but two maisonettes and the walkways run over the kitchens of those underneath. Now, the one that is above mine already had a fix report filed against it when I moved in because of the cold snap over two years ago...
