Lonely

Have u ever felt like u didn't have a friend in the world? I have. I'm feeling it right now. The funny thing is feelings play tricks on us. They play tricks on me so much that when I second guess them I don't know how to feel. So I just go numb. I guess that is a sure fire stairway to loneliness

Bodily excercise profits little.....

Yes. I did it. I feel like a new man. After I hit just a mere 25 minutes on the cycle I came home oozing with love for my wife. Full of a different kind of euphoria. The euphoria of endorphins. When I sat down and opened up the Bible the verses of 1 Timothy lunged out at me. My mind was clear and my heart was filled with God's joy. It reminded me of 1 Timothy 4:8. Bodily excercise profits little but godliness is profitable for all things. It doesn't say godliness doesn't profit at all just a little. In the greek little is a word for time and not quality. That's a good word for alot of pastors. Especially those of the pentecostal, suit about to bust open, eating fried chicken with biscuits and gravy after church types. Get on that treadmill!!!

Writing and Vulnerability

Recently I have been prompted to write more. More poems. More raps. Articles. Blogs. I am even contemplating a non fiction autobiographical spiritual memoir (Say that fast five times :)

In this new zeal to write I am also pushing the boundaries of what to write. I called a friend up today and asked "What should I write about?" He replied "Write something vulnerable." So maybe it's not what to write maybe God is teaching me how to write.

Live life to the fullest.

A secret to fulfillment: Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. Ecclesiastes 9:10

The secret to fulfillment: Live life to the fullest. Go for broke in everything you do. Stop the navel gazing. Seize the day...and the night.

No more childhood

This videogame is evidence that for many kids there is no such thing as childhood

The cost of popcorn

While I am in this protesting inquisitive mood can somebody tell me......

What's up with the cost of popcorn at the movies?!?!!?

You can get it for 50 cents a bag at the grocery store.
Do fifteen men die just to get one kernel? Is popcorn grown in the Middle East?
Has it now become a gourmet upper class food like caviar? Only at your local AMC, Edwards, Regency, or Pacific theater.

The Inside Man

Last night me and Yvette caught the Inside Man. It's a crime thriller starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, and Jodie Foster. It's a Spike Lee joint so there is no resolution. The bad guy actually gets away. It is a strong dose of reality. Who are the real criminals? The thugs on Grape Street or Wall Street?
