My Second Hour

2006-03-14T11:47:00.000+11:00

Good Day to my fellow nomads..
It has been awhile..and i do apologise for my recent dissapearing act (is that how ya spell it ..?)but anywayz, i must admit..i have been feeling rather un motivated to do anyting to this blog..and really that is the truth.BUT i do have a 2 hour break at the momment.And this is just going to be a quick catch up session with me and you. So enjoy......................

Coming out of a long weekend is always the best feeling in the world.I have had so much time to think about what to put on this page...but there is currently a block stuck in my head, that has not allowed me to put anything on to paper.Well in this case, keyboard.However, the pass 24 hours have been rather interesting.
HAd a long chat with lil jon man..which is always a blessing, about the pass few months.Managed to sneek in a few minutes with dani and jarga on sunday, plus the usual catch ups with various people....have left me with this sense of fulfillment.Kinda like a Bear Cub when it is being embrassed by its Mother Bear.(I dunno what am really trying to get at...but i guess it makes sense to me).However, if there has been one thing that has been on my mind for the pass two weeks....it would probably be our IGNITE service which is happening this Friday night.We as a team have really been building and moulding our prayer focus on this comming weekend.The First Ignite DOWNSTAIRS...after doing it faithfully UPSTAIRS for almost 3 years now.:)so here is the post and i hope that it makes sense!!!

Postal Service 1:
Been really excited about what this Friday has to offer to our Youth Minstry this comming week, actually make that the next YEAR.I have been thinking about this for awhile now, and i really,beleive that this weekend is really the start of the ONE church and ONE body, we have been trying to acheive for so long.Where with ONE heart and ONE song..we are going to be seeing lives changed..and hearts brokened for the better.

So what do I like about this whole new concept.Well first of all....I think that having a wide age group...will bring the maturity level of some of our younger kids..up to a more mature level.But by saying this, i also think the younger kids have got alot to show to the older XLR8 bunch- they know how to rock and roll better.!!!!So both sides will benefit from this.I think this also brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "Coporate Worship"..:)HOw much of a difference does it make when ya have 700-800..and with Gods Blessing A Thousand kids worshipping and praising his name together, rather then in two seperate sessions.ANd i am pretty sure..alot of you guys and gals would agree with me-UNited we Stand.

So what does this mean for IEN.Well this just means a whole lot more fun on a friday night.A more inspired heart then ever before...a greater vision..and a greater faith in knowing that GOd has answered...and will continue to answer when we call.There really isnt any feeling to describe this common feeling alot of us have.I think we are all really excited.Cos this has been a dream for so long- Well mine anywayz.

So..after all that.
I guess that was just my mind thinking out loud on keyboard.
Ohh btw...there are these twoguys sitting next to mein the computer labs (BTW they are random people) who are arguing about what the actual trademark name for PLANETSHAKERS church looks like...if it has a CAPITAL P or not..what the heck..? for crying out louD...!!!!

OKey enough for 2hours.
I shall leave ya guys with scripture from the book Matthew 28:18-19 -Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing tem in the name of the FAther and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost". This is the verse that i am praying in to the lives of all you guys this week.MAy this really be the reason we do what we do every friday.And will this reflect of everything we do and set our eyes upon.

God Bless.

Heres To Hope

2006-02-07T11:19:00.000+11:00

The sun's setting on what was,
setting on what could have been,
in essence, all that lover's have sought.
too slow to cherish what was had,
until you haven't anything.
Your fingers ache to have it once more.

here's to long goodbyes,
and all the songs they bring.
romanticize,
linger on what bliss with which we fly,
and all that's promising.
watch it slide
here's to hope

long for a silver line,
tracing all that's darkening your days
and their silences.
wear your sorrow with a smile,
to wear away the memories of what was near
but never quite here.

so you sing for the silence

Hymns of Faith

2006-01-23T20:06:00.001+11:00

So the songs have been flowing out of our hearts....4 down and 2 more to come.Writing these few tracks with the guys have been somewhat of a journey.Kinda like learning all about ourselves once again.The words that we put on to paper really reflect what we have been feeling for a while.Jud has been ever so inspiring...so to brad and the rest of the krew. lil Jon man has been ever so faithful in comming up with new ideas...cool ideas...God inspired ideas.There have been alot that I have learned over these past couple of months...being inspired to write music that could change the heart of a generation.Indeed it is a task realisticaly unacheivable without the help of Our Father.

So many times we would hear something and it never feels rite....well we have not been feeling rite for so many years...but somehow..the music sounds different..our ears flap at the waves that go through it..very different...very different indeed.Maybe it is a season..a season where the puzzle is falling into place.
So i ask myself...why write music ?...whatis all the fuss about individuals comming up with tunes ?..what are we doing this for?...It has been said to be that we are writing our own music...to have our own identity..to have our own sound..to match it with the best...and as nobel as it may seem...Maybe that is why I have not writen the best song that i could.So after a few months of just figuring our myself..and figuring out..what needs to change...here is my conclusion...And I hope you will understand..this is targeted to myself..

I want to write songs that will break the hearts of this generation and to remake it into something new....a song that will create a a new understanding of how amazing our God is..and a song that will unite the hearts of our generation to sing a song..that talks about all these things and more.An Anthem, A Decleration of the ENORMITY of the Goodness of Our God..yet the simpleness of his Love.

Yeah...thats it...so here is the deal....we will try..
And we will keep on trying...untill one day, when all Hands are raised..and in one decleration we here the screams of a thousand voices..singing the hymns of his love..I will not find rest..and i will not find comfort..until i find the Hymn of Love...The Hymn of Praise...
So to everyone who has been trying...anf to everyone who is along for the ride.We wil run...and down right hard we will run..
So 4 down...2 more to go...and we will continue to write until our hands bleed and our eyebrows fade..

There is this saying amongst a few of us that says that " worship is not worship until we start bleeding " but in all honesty...we love what we are doing..and would never wish for it to be any other way.We have learned so much about ourselves...yet we have not learned enough.And the songs can only get better from now on..cos we know the Cause we are writting for.

God Bless.

Summer of Love

2006-01-13T11:18:00.000+11:00

So here is the deal.
Every other mate of mind has found love..
who would have tought that the day would come where a brother would find love..and what more, find love in the most unusual of places. Caught me by surprise..well most def.BUt what is more interesting.."The Guys being in Love.?" or the "The Guys being Loved.?" I find myself asking this question..in the quest for good humour most def.BUt I guess I am the last one standing..so who am i to joke about it?!?!.I guess it must be the water.BUt let me assure you,It has been an eye opening experience, let me tell you that.Never would i have imagined the way it has turned out.Not just for one...but for a number of others...the same way..almost the same outcome.Whatever it may be ..This Summer, love was found.

(Before i go on..let me assure you, this posting is not about anyone in particular, I have got more friends that you think i have.)

So anywayz, what has triggered this sudden influx of hopeless romantics and a sudden out pouring of emotions.?Issit the fact that some of us are growing older..and are wondering if we are closing in on our "Use By Dates"?. Have we hit a point of desperation (I doubt it- but we will never know the answer to that one)Oh maybe it is the long walks that we have had by the beach- could it have triggered the emotion of romance as we walked by the beach and watched the sunset fade into the night sky.? or could it be that the invitation list to your birthday party consists of 95% guys and 5% gals- alarm bells go off in your head "I need a girl in my life" Or could this really be love..? Could this be really be the one we have been talking about for so long. Are we boys finally comming to an end of an era of just sitting and waiting.?....And to my fellow girl friends, what is your excuse this time..?has the guy finally swept you off your feet? Has he finally taken notice of the new hair cut or the new Sports Girl top you have put on...Does he enjoy your cooking.? the cookies you baked him last Valentines? The Tshirt you bought him last christmas.? Is He better then your last one.? OR does he just do the things you would like a guy to do for you...or be the guy you want him to be.?

So this is it.....I promise all my readers...my one and only attempt to try and write something based on the Love found this summer.Laugh with me if ya want to...but it has been a summer to remember...
So here is to more long walks by the beach...You holding your love..
Me, holding my gelato...we will meet in between.And Tell stories till the sun rises.
Here is to a Good Life..
Here is to the Life you have always wanted..
Cheers to you...
Till the next blog....

Starting Line

2006-01-08T18:55:00.000+11:00

Sunday the 8th of January 2006..it is one week into the new year...and man has things been good so far.I never expected it to start the way it has,but when seeds are planted...and when God speaks.He speaks in full force.There have not been many weeks into the new year, but if every week was like this..It is going to be one heck of an interesting year.

Last night was an interesting one. There was one that caught the attention of my heart, and i think it will stick with me for a long time to come.

"If You have Passion for Something, You will Never ever Burn out doing it"..this stuck in my heart, out of everytihng that we talked about last night.So with this in mind...why did it stick in me and nothing else..? Why did it echo so clear in my ear drum and even louder in my spirit.

The topic of burning out has always been a concern of mine..people tell me that we need to take breaks in every season of our life..so that we wont burn out..To keep our spirit in "Fresh" mode and to make sure that we dont loose the desire and the "Fire"....BUt this is what hit me the hardest...If I am passionate about what I am doing and if I am in love with what I am doing...why would I want to STOP doing it.? Why Would You want to stop doing it..? Do we actually have a hidden agenda...have i really lost a desrie for the things i love the most.?

Interesting.? well most def.!!! it has been a wake up call.The trumpet sounded and I was not there to answer it.
I need thE help of God...to keep me on my feet...not a break.This is where we have gone wrong so many times.God is the one who keeps us sane, who keeps is on the rise, no break or time off will ever get me back on my two feet....Simple...yet Never in my mind.

My prayer..

Thank You for speaking into my life
Give me the strength the power..the love
I am what I am...you make me something else...
You made me..come break me..
Come make me a new being.
Into your Hands

Here We Meet Again.

2006-01-02T13:15:00.000+11:00

Into the new year...the date set on the 2nd of January 2006.The new year has started the same as the others, late nights..even later awakenings. I have managed to do a few things that I have not been able to do the pass few months of the old year...for one..I have been able to get together with friends..that I have not been able to catch up for a while..So that is one plus to the new year...Here is to more of that to come.
I think there is alot to look forward to in the year 2006.I for one, am really looking forward to the new Calender Year for our Youth Ministry...let that be in cell leading (where the decision still remains unknown..I am still not sure) or in my Joy of Worship. But I must say..the future looks bright...and the goals look acheivable. Saying that, I am probably gonna look back at this blog in 12 months time and wonder what the heck I was trying to get across to my audience...but hey we will try and get there first.

So Then, what do I we have installed for us in the the BIG 2006.?
Well...apart form all the concerts that I am sure we are all looking forward to.(eg. u2- My Miracle Drug, Coldplay- I will Fix You and also the Strokes- Beattle Juice) I think I am having a greater interest towards the people who I am gonna meet this year...The friends who I will be reUnited with again after such a long time- Stel, I can't wait for you to hit our streets...we will run and we will jump on them as we used to..jon and gene..I am sure we will meet sometime next year, and if not..msn and hotmail will still be our time together , the people i am going to meet..share a chinotto or two..and break the ice over some lame jokes.That makes me happy!!!

And then there is the other simple pleasures in life that will always keep me going...late night fishing with the boys, watching the goals hit the roof of the net with Tim( however I am sure as the year goes on..it wont just be with Tim anymore- here is to a good year for you two people!! ) unGodly hours of eating at Rock-oN or Tung Wo with Shawn, Grand Prix and A1 racing with Cheese the Man, Movie nights are Dazzas own private V-Max,Rock And Roll sessions with lil Jon Man...shopping sprees with the gals..let keep it at an equilibrium...with feelings of Love and Honesty.These are the things that really keep me going...To more of them..I am sure.

So as the Fireworks fade away into the night sky...I will gladly welcome this year with alot to look forward to...
Welcome to the show that never finishes, and you are part of it.
Kindly take your seats....sit back...and lets all enjoy the Ride.

Sounds of 2005

2005-12-30T01:22:00.000+11:00

So as the year 2005 slowly slips past our fingertips... and as we countdown the minutes to whats has been a rather fulfilling year in my terms...here are the top CD's that I feel have inspired and allowed me to journey through key charts and octaves...and reach a place where in its momment..makes me happy.And so...i give you the Sounds of 2005

And so The List Begins......

John Legend:- man this album is dope....looking back at the year 2005, I must say...his songs and his music have given me some really good hours...some really good memories, driving back and forth on a long and lonely road to uni, would have been alot different if it was not for this album set on repeat..from track one till the end....Great album.Do check this album out..it will blow you away.This album makes me wanna be black just for a few hours.

Thrice:-This album is tittled Vheissu, Probably one of the best albums i have bought this year...without a doubt the best cover i have bought this year (NOTE: it is not demonic signs on the cover..it is actually the growth cycle of an octopus, fascinating..I know) Thrice have taken their mucis to a whole new and different level.Compare this album to their previous album, The Artist In The Ambulance...do not fear, nothing has changed, Thrice are still rocking it out hard and heavy.However, with lyrics like "Daylight, they tell me taht it's just a myth, They try to betray me with a kiss, Daylight, they tell me that is cant exist, They may never know just what they missed" and Choruses like "We are not alone, we feel an unseen love, We are sons and heirs of grace, We are children of a light that never dims, A love that never dies, Keep your chin up child..and wipe them tears from your eye"...this album has made me wonder if the boys from Thrice have caught on to a message that I hold true and dear to myself....I know I am a "son and heir of grace"

Coldplay:- X&Y was probably one of the most anticipated albums of the year 2005...next to U2's (How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb) and def. that i have grown in love with every new time i put it into the cd player.With Anthemic songs like "Fix You" and "Speed Of Sound"..coldplay have not changed much..but still have managed to captivate their audience with music that paints a good picture of what Chris Martin and the boys of coldplay want to tell their listeners. This album, makes for some good conversations...esp. as to what the heck does X&Y mean...but arguments a side, this album is medicine to the ears.

David Crowder ( A Collision is Comming): This is the one I have been waitintg for this whole year...and tim and a few others can probably say the same thing.David Crowder is probably one of my favourite worship leaders...and probably one of my favourite songwrites aswell....heck he is my favourite everything, esp. when it comes to music.But Yes, I think I can Honestly say that this album is probably one of the top two or three albums of the year for me. The David Crowder band have absolutely taken music writing and worship music to a whole new level and probably dimension with this album.I seriously fell in love with this cd since day one....this cd is inspiring to say the least...and the human being behind this music has inspired me , but not as much as the master behind the men who he has written this music for.I love this CD and would recommend it to anyone who needs a new dose of good music injected into their CD collection...Kids...go buy this album..if you cant afford it..ask your Mum or Dad to buy it for you.!!!

Bloc Party:- This album is seriously way cool...a black man with dreds for a lead singer...a chinese drummer..tight jeans...size 14 girl t-shirts on guys, what is there not to like about this band. I think Bloc Party has probably been my number one party music for the year 2005...they are like the Strokes meets Prince Charles on a bright english spring day.I like them heaps..and eventhough i get bagged for liking them....they have still made it onto this list.Cheers to Bloc Party...thanks for the good times.!!!

United Live (Look To You): Guess who has made it unto this list.... yes yes, i dont think anyone can doubt the impact this album has been on our youth ministry.I think this album was probably the most anticipated album for youth ministries all over the world...and i think the wait was well worth it.What can I say, the guys at United Live could make the boogie look cool again. I guess thats the coolest thing about this album...it was rock and roll, but rocking and rolling for Jesus is always better.

MAE:- Mae is deffinately for lovers...this album could make me fall in love with a chair.Guys ..if ya wanna impress any girl, this is the album to get.From start to finish, this album takes you on a journey and paints you a story that would put you in dream land as soon as you hit PLAY. All i can say about this album is that it is Truely for Lovers...

Copeland:-With their 2003 album, Beneath Medicine Tree rocking the music world by storm, this years follow up album to that, In Motion was a real treat to the ears (well to mine at least). I ahve always found a great liking to the music of bands like Copeland, Death Cab, Appleseed Cast etc...and In Motion was no dissapointment. However if you are not into the bands that i mentioned above..you would probably find this album a lil boring...so the choice is really yours.

So anywayz..there it is....if I had more time, i could probably name you another 10- 20 albums that i have enjoyed this year..but these 8 really stuck out for me this year.Let it be the influence that it has played in my life this year or just the pure beauty of the album.Do go check them out..and let me know what ya think of them. These albums are all really different in style and should only be played under various circumstances.
So yeah..li hope one of these albums will bring you some sort of joy in the near future...i know they have done me some good..
Here is to more good music and more inspiring song writing for the year 2006.

I Have Never Walked Alone

2005-12-28T17:54:00.000+11:00

Somewhere A Clock is Ticking

2005-12-28T15:39:00.000+11:00

Dear friend,

Ever wonder why people rush to get somwhere..?
Why Is time so precious....why is one step forward... a step into the unknown...?

" Precious Time Rushing Pass Me"

How dangerous issit when you walk out your front door.? a bus hit, a knife cut, a bullet hole between the eyes, a suicide in claim of truth and faith...is there such a thing called contentment with life...where whatever happens, whenever it happens....we would be happy to return home cut and bruised or even in a body bag.?

"TiCk ToCk"...time is ticking away....what have I done to make use of the time given to me.Beware young one....Time is running on empty, and the gas is running out.
So here is the deal, tonight I have decided.....that tonight is the night, where my actions will arise from the ashes of deep sleep.Full speed ahead all guns ablazed, planned perfecton I have sought after in my dreams.

One Action..one step...one reward...that is how it should go...the beat of time, the repeat of action.The outcome.?..joy above sorrow.And before me, the Cross, to which it has cast me a shadow..where people will gather to remember the day where flames grew as high as trees, and where the world would stop....to remember, what you have done for me..not what I have done for you.

So my endless nights of dreaming of life have showed me the new exit door...not the one on the left where it has been easy to open for many years..but the reinvented exit, where times...it has been hard to push open...now opened wide and not shut..Glory!! Glory!!, the exit has been reinvented.

And so now...before me, the way...one way...Thank You.
I shall run this road now...my time has come....my path has been set, the unkown now known.NO more rushing...just persuing.....just chasing...chasing safety.

Seven Boys with Six Rods.

2005-12-23T14:16:00.000+11:00

The Idea is great....the wait is agonizing...the drive, pleasant to say the least...the usual company...the usual jokes -" Yeah,Whatever Man!!!"...the hours slow and the experience..priceless.
The Time is 10:55, the news has predicted a certain change in tide by the time the clock strikes ten..low tide is about to make itself known..with the moon shining ever so brightly on a night where boys turn into men (well most of them anywayz) rods and reels in hand...with a bag full of bait and a beanie on the head. Seven Boys, Six rods, One Goal, Zero outcome.
The night was great..with stars watching over us and sting rays gliding across a clear ocean floor. The night was calm...with a mild easterly blowing between our hair, not too hot...not too cold, a bunch of friends and a rod in hand...happy hour every hour.

There was alot to think about as the night slowly fadded away..and as the hand pushed into early morning. Love, Life, Mistakes, Joy, Sorrow...alot can go through one's mind when you are by the sea...what more a calm sea.
Chee Sun -"Any Bites Mate..?"
Myself- "Nopes..not yet...the water is so calm aint it.?"
Chee Sun- "Yeah, dont think there is gonna be much action tonite"
Myself- "Yeah i think that puffer fish is the most action we are going to
get tonite"

So the hour slowly passes...one hour, two hours....slowly the patients wears thin.Fishing is a fascinating game...the action is not plentiful, but the number of players on that peer was pass the dozens...all wanting to have a piece of that snapper, salmon, trout or even squid...yet the only ball game for the night was a stinking puffer fish...not impressed, but hey somone had to do the job of getting rid of it (Thanks Shawn).
So what can one learn..as they wait by the sea....well for one....casting your rod under arm is a real skill...esp. if ya have not done it for a long time..(this is reffering to me almost killing adam and lil jon man...my deep apologies). But seriously, did i learn anything last night....?.. i learned how to tie a new knot, daryl sim style...which was very usefull, "thanks dazza!!"

Fishing with mates cannot get any better..no fish.? who cares.? who needs to catch fish when you can talk about virtually anything and everything around these guys. Some would say that it would have been nice if we had our wives beside us...and yes, to a certain extand i would agree...but heck, that can wait. That will be our next fishing expedition...fishing of a different agenda.Like every good fisherman...we wait..and wait and continue to wait , until the catch of the day eats our Hook, Line and Sinker..and "STRIKE" we have got ourselves a priceless fish...one to keep...on to show off to your mates...one you will remember for along time.

So, as the seven pack their rods and reels..and head for home...another night of fruitless fishing....another night of fruitful fellowship. Boys did become men...we got our hands dirty, cut and broken by sharp hooks...but it was worth it all.

Like Hemmingway in the Old Man And The Sea
"A Man can be destroyed but not defeated"...and so...i shall keep on going back to the ocean...not to be defeated but to get up, and try again.

Cheers to you my friends...cheers to all of you.

Music Makes me Loose Control

2005-12-22T00:58:00.000+11:00

Does music really make you loose control.?
Does music allow an individual to feel certain emotions that only a particular genre can initiate.? What does Hip-Hop do to your soul..? does Jazz make you fall in love..? Does Classical music by Bach or Chopin generate and stimulate your brain to work more effectively.? Is Heavy Metal really heavy.? or does RnB weigh heavier on your heart.?

I have always been brought up to listen to particular music at a particular time of day, year or momment.
Bring out the old Winston Marselis, Frank Sinatra,Wynton Kelly, Bill Evan , BB King or even Dizzy Gillespie to remind you of your first love ...or of the romance you had under the broken harbour bridge...All that Jazz could make a dead man fall in love once again.

How bout when you are studying for an exam...what sort of music should we listen to.? Should we take it to the extreme and listen to the scietifically proven classical music..to stimulate them brain juices.?or does the guitar strumming of chet atkins or tommy emannuel work its way to be as big a hit to some others...I must mention ( without desecrating the works of the great men mentioned) that i have found alicia keys...and anything mo-town..works for me too...:) MAn all these choices...yet for what occasion.?

Can Music Paint a picture.? Heck yes!!! here are some bands that have painted a picture in my life...allowed me to enjoy life a lil bit more.
Thursday -From Car Crashes to War...you have stood beside me and let me watch from a far
U2- God Bless Bono and The Edge
David Crowder- Your Voice echoes the truth, your songs paint the sky with Love that showers from above
Underoath- You allow me to "Drown in My Sleep"...and wake up from it with my head held High
Coldplay- You paint many pictures..but still with only one single line.
Thrice- I know HOw you Feel....bring me back to life.
AppleSeed Cast- Thank your For Making Music....Music without you is Mud.
Copeland- You have allowed me to fall inlove once again
Sigu Ros- From iceland with love...you have allowed me to awaken my dream keeper ..and wonder into your world.

So Music is for every season...every season has different music...play reggae in the summer...sweat the summer out with some rock and roll...jazz up the cold winter nights with a drum beat or two...rnb is for all seasons...and yes you can play your classics in spring and autumn too.

I really wanna know what music makes you loose control....

Awake the Sleeping Giant

2005-12-21T19:43:00.000+11:00

And so After a years delay...hence forth awakes the sleeping giant that has been resting for way to long. I have found back my desire to wirte about things that really matter to me.And after a whole year of thinking of what to do with the little spare time i have..i guess sharing my life with the rest of the world is one way of opening up the doors and letting the outside world look in and laugh at the life of mine.

So what has been going on for so long.?
Well..... alot has changed since i last bloggged, the days are moving faster..the ocean is becoming deeper...the friends are growing older...the belly is getting bigger...the exams are getting harder...the body is slowing down...but yet the rewards seem to be pouring in like the first day. I sit down and I relate myself to the life of King David. A worshipper, a leader, a brother, a son, a sinner...but still the favour of God was upon him. And yes I must say the year 2005 has ended on a high, with Dad's health on a mend and continuously improving everyday...as he takes a breath of what God has placed infront of him. It has also been a great year for me personally...as the calender year draws to a smooth landing.The ministry has grown...my ministry has blessed and the ministry has been rewarded, all by the grace of God and by the love and support of people around me.

Education is good for you...or so says my granny, and true it is.Well...Uni has been great for me this year, as it has given me time to do other things outside of church the Year has finished on a high- I will start making fake limbs for you.:)

So what have i learned from this year..?
What has hit me the most...?
Well here goes:-

Life is precious..life with God is even more. Seriously, when you have a loved one in hospital or on the operation table...death seems so real...sometimes too real, and truely not a comfortable place to be in.It is like playing a game of JigSaw puzzles...where every piece is a day and every jigsaw is your expectation of the day..hoping that it all fits perfectly with the next day..and that there will be no problems in between.Life is fragile..and a jig saw puzzle i hate playing around with. However, i have learned the rules of the game and the way the game of life goes...That there is only one game master...thats true, and if you play along the rules...younwill come out a winner on the otherside. " Dad..You Have Come Out A Winner"- Love you always.

The Year 2005 was a great year...and if it is an indication of what the year 2006 will be...i am looking forward to another year of beauty meets the beasts..another year of Rock And Roll and another year where i can sit back and say..."God You Are Good"

So there it is...my mind has been put on paper

"My Today....Whose tomorrow?"

2004-10-08T00:43:00.000+10:00

Am I who I am ment to be..?
Does this world really need me to go out of my way to fix it?
If I woke up slightly later tomorrow,
would it really alter what my future is going to be like.?
If I did not take a year off, would I be where I am today.?
Is is true that my decisions will determine
how many hearts are to be saved tomorrow..?
Are these questions going to make a difference.?
By me moving a brick from one place to the other,will it alter the route in which an ant will take to get from its workplace to its larva.?
Will my today...effect someones tomorrow.?
If it does....I better make the best out of it,
just to be sure I don't let that person down.
Just maybe....
Could it really..?

Back on to blogging, kind of like meeting an old friend...remembering how he/she looks like and then getting along with the pass the present and hopefully the future.Was riding in a 1970 VW beattle "yellow" in colour I think, and out of nowhere "Do you Blog, I-En?"Hmm..rather strange, but the first thing that came to mind was if I needed to go use the Toilet and do a number "ONe".Do I Blog?...well if I think it is what I think it is...Yes!!! do it all the time.Rens amd Bekz looked at each other, rather surprised.It turns out that "NO" I do not blog and that It was NOT something I had done before.

That was a couple of months back...actually to be true to myself, 4 months back.Winds of change are here...and you are looking at "Life Colours". Various people have various opinions about this new found trend of blogging.Shawn reckons it has help him become"DEEP"...Tim rekcons it is a good place to share his taughts and opinions freely without anyone bagging him straight to the face.Stel is a story teller...making sure her friends are in on her life's journey...pretty, when my name is up once or twice.Others use it as a diary, and others...just have got no clue what blogging is all about.

Cruising along the highway, and I see the sun breaking pass a certain clowd that looks like a clown.Really wished I had something that could capture the momment, did not have my digital with me ,Dang it!!!.Momments like these are momments that help remember that we are created by an Omnipotent Creature who only know how to create beauty and nothing else.And all I can do is thank my Maker, for the sights, sounds and smell...that come from his creations.Who can deny there is a GOD out there.?

Truely as I fall asleep, place my head on a soft landing...there are angels out there watching over me.As I place my hands at 10/12..and the feeling of control on the palms of my hand as the indication shows the gas tank half full...there must be,there truely must be a GOD who has given me the gift of touch, sight, smell..and the chance to enjoy the simpled pleasures, that I doubt anyone else ca give me.
