BLOGGER



Youngest kid of six with an inferiority and black sheep complex, but determined that God saves not just his soul to heaven but the remainder of his manic-depressive life, so others won't say he became a Christian and remained a jerk.


MAIN THEMES

On identity
i won't be transparent before i'm opaque. and you'll get to know me starting from the small things: who my favourite bands are. what kind of movies i like. who are my heroes.

On Christianity
I’m convinced that when confronted with sincere, real love, the Jesus factor will become obvious. But let’s not plant the cross before we carry it. I’m not trying to con you.

On dreams
Some dreams are meant to be achieved. I know that. But maybe other dreams are meant to drive us, privately. Never known to anyone but ourselves.


OTHER THEMES

On melancholy
It is a sadness that, when choosing between crying and sighing, will choose sighing. I'd almost say that melancholy is being sad about sadness itself.

On memory and nostalgia
It saddens me when life moves forward and people decide that certain things are worth forgetting.

On language
I've learnt that the word irregardless is filed as a non-standard word in the English language. That's a lexicographer's way of saying it's not a real word.

On politics
Crowds are fickle things. So when we stand in the thousands and cry against the present government, do we know who we're actually crying for?

On society
People always want the best for themselves. But I want to sometimes take second or third or fourth best, just so that the loser down the road doesn't always have to come in last. It must feel like shit to always come in last.

On growing old
Leasehold property make me feel sad. It doesn't matter how old the family photos are that you put on your wall. It's your family but it's not really your wall.

On philosophy
I ask you, if God loves everyone, and if God is also incapable of loving evil, how can there be such a thing as an evil man?

On a daily basis
One line quips, like this.

I STARTED THE DAY SO CHEERFUL

in our dire moments, we are used to claiming verses from the bible... take hold of it, make it ours and hold our hands out to receive its promise. i don't know if this is wrong but i'm gonna claim the lyrics of a bob dylan song right now. i'm doing it because i feel it has a biblical basis. and i feel so downtrodden right now.

The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast
the slow one now will later be fast
as the present now will later be past
the order is rapidly fadin
and the first one now will later be last
for the times they are a-changin

the meek will inherit the earth, the merciful will be shown mercy, and the mourning will be comforted. i have been a peacemaker so i will be called a son of God. i have been poor in spirit, so mine is the kingdom of heaven.

Father, Almighty Father, Your grace is sufficient for me, because Your strength is made perfect in weakness. Whose weakness O Lord? but mine. Father, i am weak, i am small and the world can try its best to make me feel like nothing, but i am everything to You - and i want You to know i know it. i love You, Father. some days i forget that You are really all i got. today, i know it too well. my strength is in You. So now, let the weak say i am strong, let the poor say i am rich. because of what the Lord has done for us.
