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. CHAT

PURPOSEFUL GROWTH TIMETABLEI learnt a thing from championship manager, paired it with something i learnt from church, and the result is my Purposeful Growth Timetable. i sat down the other night, remembering two things - pastor talking about growth and mel asking me what i do after work each day. and i decided that i had to purposefully (not incidentally) decide what i do each day after work to achieve the kind of growth i gallantly talk about each january. when it came down to putting a timetable together, i realised that it had to be a different format from everything i'd previously done. it had to allow for flexibility, and be real and reasonable. it could not, must not be set in stone. yet, it needed a structure, a distinctive framework with set activities due at set places. now, i'm glad that so many long nights and early mornings playing championship manager have not gone to waste. cos i'm deriving my format from the training module they've got on there in cm4: drag n drop from a pool of available activities. i've come up with this wonderful timetable with colour coded activities. purple is exclusively for quiet time, blue is for personal growth, yellow is for church involvement, pink is for social needs, orange is for entertainment and green is for work. all of the activity pieces can be pulled off and replaced (blu tack). activities that are not on this week are either off the board or on the "next week" column. still, some activites will look forced being timetabled (not least of all "blogging"), but like i said, it's mainly a guide to remind me of purposeful activity and growth (btw, the scheduled blogging time is actually for the one carefully thought-out christian post i plan to put up here every week in a bid to make this place more deliberately christocentric). i don't know about you, but i'm really excited about this coming year. it's still january and i sat down that night, thinking about all these things, and i wrote down all the areas i wanna grow this year. having written them down, i thought of the activities that i needed to fill my time with in order to produce such growth. so, all this led to the timetable you see here. i'm only starting to use it, so i can't say it really works. but i'm definitely encouraging purposeful, deliberate actions and life planning in order to achieve the results you want for this year. amen!
