'Live Video Shopping' is a creative way of shopping online. The buyers can make purchasing decisions while the online shopkeepers show the details and usage of the goods in real time.
With the rapid development and population of online shopping, its strengths and weaknesses were showed. Though people can purchase goods without the restriction of time and space, the disadvantages still cannot be ignored (e.g. poor quality, diminished instant satisfaction, personally checked items).
Example of Live Video Shopping and How does it work?
To solve the problems which were mentioned above, one of the giant online retailers –Taobao.com (owned by Alibaba Group) implemented this new style of online shopping. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, promoted and encouraged both of the online shopkeepers and shoppers to use the live video shopping.
If there were any new arrivals, the shopkeepers can start a live video and display the products by using live video, showing the details and performances of goods. Take clothing store as an example, the shopkeeper can hire some models or internet celebrities and dress them with the new arrival clothes, giving buyers a well-rounded display (e.g. texture, colour, actual wearing effect) by a real-time recording.
Impact on online shopping behaviour
Without the real-time video, the online buyers may be attracted by the fancy pictures and the exaggerate performance because of the fancy art design, Photoshop and excellent sales promoters and advertisings then make an impulsive spending. Meanwhile, to some extent, the gap between the goods people received and the display on website results in the buyer's disappointment towards online shopping. However, the application of 'Live Video Shopping' can decrease the discrepancies between the puffery and goods received in reality while increasing the enjoyment of shopping online. As a result, in some degree, this new trend can encourage people to shop online and enhance the advantages of shopping online (e.g. 24/7 available, time saving, easy-searching), since it can minus the risks of doing online shopping, for example, the products sold on website cannot have a trial and be personally checked.
At the end of my first blog, there is a video resource of 'Live Video Shopping' showing below. Hope you can enjoy reading my blog. Thanks for reading and watching!

0464 TAIWAN - Here is Taiwan
Usually I write much or very much about the postcard that I share with you. This time I don't have much to say, especially because I talked about Taiwan when I presented a map of the island of Formosa from 1856. I would only add that I believe it will not be long until People's Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan) will give up their reciprocal territorial claims, become obsolete, and they will see each of his way.
About the stamps
The first two stamps, showing Doliops similis, belong to a second set of four stamps featuring long-horned beetles, about which I wrote here.
The third is part of the first set of the same long-horned beetles series, issued on May 21, 2010:
• Erythrus formosanus (NT$0.75)
• Rosalia formosa conviva (NT$2.50)
• Aphrodisium faldermannii yuagii (NT$5.00) - it's on the postcard
• Anoplophora horsfieldi tonkinensis (NT$25.00)

I seem to be stealing time from here and there just to blog. Now, I'm waiting for Mazreen to finish his solat isya' – that will give me about 10 minutes to blog. Yes it's 12.07am, a bit late for isya' but better late than never, haha. We just got back from Mustafa, and then dinner/supper at Simpang Bedok. Ordered Milo Godzilla, giggling like mad while we did it, because it feels so gay to buy that. And he had mee goreng, I had roti john chicken and cheese, and we bought coke and teh tarik on top of the godzilla.
Ice-cream eaten with Milo powder tastes good, btw.
Do you know that Mustafa has expanded again? Now there's a 3rd and 4th floor – the 4th floor has magazines and books and a really huge stationary department! Sungguh best. I was looking for staples (sp?) for my big stapler, and while testing the size of the staples, somehow the box in my hand dropped, and made a huge-ass mess!
Very embarassing ok, so we cepat2 scooped up everything and dumped it inside the shelves. Hehehehehe.
Ok, I gtg now. Will blog again soon. Goodnight, much love.
ps – Mazreen's birthday is on this saturday. I need ideas on how to spend it.. any ideas, please share with me?? Need to include his parents, and possibly mine too 🙂

Nativity Stocking Tradition
Here's a stocking tradition I always thought would be fun if I had kids. I've always enjoyed the nativity story, and I love nativity figures and scenes. So I think it would be fun to take the nativity figures -- as long as they're not overly fragile or valuable -- and randomly divvy them up at the bottom of the family's stockings. Then, if the stockings are the first gifts looked at on Christmas morning, the family could assemble the scene in the waiting manger as they come across the figures in their stockings. I think it's a great reminder of why Christmas came to be celebrated, and I think little ones would learn to love this tradition, because children like familiar stories. Just as I always fall in love again with my favorite Christmas ornaments when I unpack them each year, I think children would delight in seeing their favorite figures appear each Christmas morning.
The particular nativity set shown above would work especially well, I think. The figures are made of cast resin, and shouldn't break easily. They're of a shape that I think would appeal to small children -- in fact, they remind me of Weebles! Each figure is 1.5 to 2.5 inches high, and while the whole set of eleven figures originally was listed on the Signals website at $59.95, as of today the set is on sale for $29.95. It includes the Holy Family, the Three Kings, an angel, a shepherd, a cow, a lamb, and a bull.

Covenants confusion sparks FTSE fears of conflict with banks
Clarification needed or companies will find themselves in conflict with their lenders
Clarification needed or companies will find themselves in conflict with their lenders
Banks could be forced to call in company debts because of confusion over the
impact of IFRS on banking covenants, a fear that has prompted a FTSE 100
treasurer to warn that clarification was needed or companies would find
themselves in conflict with their lenders.
Matthew Hurn, the treasurer of DSG International, the FTSE 100 owner of PC
World and Currys, warned there was still no established covenant benchmark using
Covenants are the rules that govern a company's borrowing arrangements, but
it is yet to be clarified how IFRS will be applied, prompting fears that
misunderstandings could cause breaches. Hurn said there were still no
definitions for what covenant rules should be 'without referring back to UK
So far companies and banks have skirted the issue by using frozen UK GAAP
numbers for covenant purposes – but the cost of constantly restating numbers to
UK GAAP will be too onerous.
Martin O'Donovan, technical partner at the Association of Corporate
Treasurers, said companies could find themselves in difficult circumstances
because of this uncertainty.
'There is potential for companies to mistakenly breach banking covenants
because of a misunderstanding of how covenants are affected by IFRS,' O'Donovan
'Banking covenants have been dealt with on a frozen GAAP basis until now, but
the constant restatements this will require are not sustainable,' O'Donovan
The risks posed by the continuing lack of clarity around covenant rules has
become a growing concern for finance experts.
Ian Fleming, the treasurer of department store Debenhams, urged FDs and
finance teams to handle covenant agreements carefully.
Despite these concerns, banks have still not reacted to the issue. A
spokesman for the British Bankers' Association said the industry was not
involved in discussions on the matter.

This weeks LPW went really well...Phil Collins Easy Lover. The Drum Tutor said to me how he could finally see me coming out of my shell, im a shy guy, I always have been, but to hear him say that really gave me a confidence boost. Its horrible playing in front of so many musicians, but my band played really well and we had some good comments which was great.
Straight after ACM I made my way to the train station and jumped on a train back to good ol' Upminster. These train journeys are becoming a chore already, especially on the way back, as there aren't any fast trains back to Guildford. It was really nice to see the family, mum had missed me alot and it was weird seeing my room all clean and unused. Max was very excited to see me which was nice :) I was really excited about having a nice home cooked dinner for a change, but that didn't really work out seeing as the meal was pretty gross :S
I went out and picked up Natasha, it felt so weird driving! Was pretty dodgy as I drove through a red light on Hornchurch high street as well, that could of ended very badly. I must of been day dreaming or something. It was great to see Natasha and her family, her mum seems set on the idea that I can play the piano "beautifully" which is annoying seeing as I know the odd couple of things...so when she asks me to play I just make up some excuse...I think im guna have to get the keyboard out and learn some tunes haha.
Natasha was INSISTANT that we go allllll the way to Bluewater to go to the cinema, as Romford/Lakeside don't meet her standards. After getting through loads of traffic we got there pretty much trouble free. Did some shopping and just chilled out before we went to see "the Boy in Striped Pyjamas". VERY GOOD. Its another Nazi/Jew/Concentraction camp film but really hits home especially at the end! I recommend it to you guys. Was a bit annoying that there was a group of middle aged sluts sitting behind us laughing every 5 minutes. I have concluded that Natasha eats alot of popcorn, so in future a large bag will have to be purchased.
So we got lost on the way home...that wasn't very fun at all. What was supposed to be a simple drive from Bluewater to Romford ended up in a very stressful wrong turn going towards Dover! I hate driving, I really do. We got back to Natasha's around 12 ish and after cooking some AMAZING pasta we snuggled and watched Sex & the City...SHIIIIIIT. Natasha fell asleep so that shows how interested she was in the film! Another upsetting goodbye around the 3am mark.
Feeling like crap from the late night before I got ready and again made my way to the train station. Todays destination, Canterbury. After a very stressful journey of replacement bus services and 3 hour journeys I finally got there, Im becoming a train expert it seems! Dean came and picked me up from the station, i'll try and ignore the fact that I was waiting at the station for over an hour though :) haha. Went back to his campus and met all his room mates, all of whome are very nice people I must say. Dean noticed that my muscles had grown which really made me happy...all mine and Richard's hard work was starting to pay off. Dean is blates scared of my muscles now.
HEROES AND VILLAINS party yayyyy. I'd been waiting all week for this and now the time had finally come. We made a wicked Stir Fry...I say we but it was mainly me I must admit. After some drinking I wacked on the makeup. I had become the Joker. I would like to add at this point that lipstick feels so weird and tastes gross, but I was very happy with the results...and it turns out I was the best looking Joker of the night, without a doubt! Dean looked so funny in his pink tights and yellow vest Superman/Freak combo. It looked like he didn't have a cock which Dean blames on the tights being "too saggy" yeahhhh okay mate.
Me & Dean got hammered on vodka/lemonade/cider/mickey finns and then made our way to the club. My memory from this point is rather hazey due to alcohol levels...But from what I can remember we spent 1/2 the night waiting for some bloody onion rings from the restaurant. Met some people from back home which was nice. Loads of people hadn't bothered to dress up which pissed me off, but the people who had looked great. Night was going really well until some prick pulled the fire alarm and the whole building had to be evacuated. There was so many people and it was all going so slow that we just went home! Very annoyed I was. Its gay cos we hardly got to dance at all...I can't even remember a single song of the night, how bad?! My looking at all the pictures I have concluded that I NEED to stop doing stupid gun poses in EVERY picture as seen below:
"Romford Raver" & The Joker
By this point my Joker makeup had suffered, so some of Dean's flatmates got my makeup off for me, which I am now very appreciative for :) Dean had "prepared" some Super Noodles which he then immediately dropped on the floor, smashing a plate...but did we care? Taking our forks we dived right in, well...up until I got a bit of plate in my mouth and started chewing on it, that was not very pleasant at all. SOMEONE DRANK MY BOTTLE OF VODKA...this annoyed me alot actually.
Dean took me to the station in the morning and I began my 3 hour journey home again. I was upset due to leaving my straightners back at Upminster but im sure I can live without for a week. Sucked saying bye to Dean but ill be seeing him next weekend so its alllllll good. Some black guy started harassing me at Waterloo station, he didn't know how to buy a ticket out of the machine so made me buy it for him! I should of got him the wrong ticket haha. My journey was made better with the presence of my iPhone...music, phone calls and facebook...what more could you ask for?
So now im home, after Richard lovingly met up with me at the station and walked me home. Uploading all the great pictures to Facebook. Iv finally put a clothes wash on, which was WELL overdue. I love being at Uni, you can wear a top and just put it back in the cupboard...I think iv got about 4 wears out of some. Think were just guna chill out and watch a movie tonight, with some spaghetti bolognaise..if the mince ever defrosts.
I couldn't find a knife. Why So Serious?
Peace x

Tragedy Discovered
All this time living on Whimsy and I had NO IDEA!!!
While conducting my thorough (sort-of, I forgot the little tentacle monster I made, the pterodactyl and the pilot whale on Whimcentricity, and goddess knows what else) survey of Whimsy's wildlife I (what a breathless sentence this is turning out to be!) discovered the underwater wreckage of a plane.
What a tragedy! What newly-married female avatar played by a male waited in eager anticipation for her adventuring husband to return from the test flight of his freebie airplane? What vehicle maker scrimped on his script and sent our intrepid pilot to his doom? What freakish perfect virtual storm sent the plane and its pilot into the murky depths? What virtual Amelia Earhart lies entombed here?
Oh, the horror!
Okay, here's the pilot whale:
And here's the pterodactyl:
And, back by popular request, Chey's tentacle guy:

Hey Ya'll! I hope this week has treated you well! We had a busy week!
We had a baptism this Sunday for Melissa! It was wonderful! We had it right after church so a lot of members came and also the investigators that had come to church that day! She had her godfather baptize her and she will be getting confirmed on Sunday the 10th. It is so crazy to think that she is Easton's age. Maybe that is just because she is my little best friend. We always talk about One Direction and Justin Bieber. She is wonderful!
|Ashley and Melissa on her baptism day
We had a fabulous dinner on Sunday! I know you all probably partied it up! We had hamburgers and hot wings and milkshakes! It was SO wonderful! I was stuffed! I also got to see an amazing touchdown by the one and only Dennis Pitta. :)
So just so you all know, the 4th was my half birthday! Yay!! I am halfway to 22! That, my friends, is crazy.
Yesterday was crazy! To get the full scoop in beautiful words, check out my companions blog kellyonamission.wordpress.com. She is an English major so she knows how to write:)
We had previously set up an appointment for a potential investigator about 2 weeks ago and it kept falling through, so a few days ago we called the "Dulce" (an investigator) in our phone list and were able to set up an appointment for Tuesday. After church on Sunday a lady in our ward came up to us and said, "Hey you guys are coming to my house on Tuesday right? I'm the Dulce you called." Our jaws dropped (we realized we called the member Dulce instead of the investigator Dulce) We said "Yes" and planned our investigator Dulce's visit for later. So Tuesday rolls around and we are excited because we have a full day planned. Around lunch time we went to the bodega by our apartment and I had our awesome friend Xavier make me a copy of "the italian" I think it's called. The sandwich from Zubs with the pastrami? Well it was good and Hermana Rogers got an awesome sandwich too. He gave them to us for basically nothing. He is awesome. He's one of those people who are always nice to the missionaries but unfortunately, never interested. Any ways, we stuffed our faces and we were so full.
We bundled up because it was FREEZING and headed for Dulces. We were walking there and Sister Rogers was like, "I really hope she isn't planning on feeding us..." We got there and right when she opened the door, we could smell it, food. "GREAT!", we thought.
She had prepared us lunch. Like a lot of it. So we just smiled and tried to take as little as possible. There were some pretty scary things sitting on the table. And then when we thought we were done, there was more! My stomach hurt so bad.
|Lunch with Dulce #1 and friends
We said a prayer and left. It was snowing. And we had another appointment. When we got to her house we realized something was off. We sat down and asked if we could sing a hymn and she went to get a hymn book. We looked at each other and then we saw the Adventist hymn book. She sang us a hymn and we sang her one. We started a lesson and she just wasn't getting it. She seemed like way out of it. So we left with a prayer and headed to english class. It was SUCH a long day. Also, I taught English class. I seem to always teach it. It's great. hahahahaha
Well I love you all a lot!
Love you! Love, Hermana Lancaster

Concerning, Alexander Stephens "The Cornerstone Speech" wherein he states…..
"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. "
Alexander Stephens simply reiterated from one of the occupiers SCOTUS Justices 1833 opinion in Johnson v. Tompkins, 13 F.Cas. 840, Baldw. 571, No. 7416 (C.C.E.D.Pa.,1833)
U.S. Justice baldwin stated in 1833 In Johnson vs. Tompkins, 1 Bald., 597, …..
"Slavery is the corner-stone of the Constitution; (meaning the 1787 U.S. CONstitution), the foundations of the government (The U.S. Government) are laid and rest on the right of property in slaves, and the whole structure must fall by disturbing the corner-stone."
What the U.S. Justice was stating in 1833, (years before our Confederate States of America were established) is that, THE STRUCTURE OF THE U.S.(YANKEE GOVERNMENT) RESTS ON THE CORNERSTONE OF THE RIGHT OF PROPERTY IN SLAVES.
Judge Baldwin : "Slavery is the corner-stone of the Constitution; the foundations of the government are laid and rest on the right of property in slaves, and the whole structure must fall by disturbing the corner-stone."
Here again we see that the YANKEE is attempting to point a crooked finger South in order to hide the TRUTH!!!!
Further: Vice President Alexander Stephens, stated…..
As for my Savanna speech, about which so much has been said and in regard to which I am represented as setting forth "slavery" as the "corner-stone" of the Confederacy, it is proper for me to state that that speech was extemporaneous, the reporter's notes, which were very imperfect, were hastily corrected by me; and were published without further revision and with several glaring errors. The substance of what I said on slavery was, that on the points under the old Constitution out of which so much discussion, agitation, and strife between the States had arisen, no future contention could arise, as these had been put to rest by clear language. I did not say, nor do I think the reporter represented me as saying, that there was the slightest change in the new Constitution from the old regarding the status of the African race amongst us. (Slavery was without doubt the occasion of secession; out of it rose the breach of compact, for instance, on the part of several Northern States in refusing to comply with Constitutional obligations as to rendition of fugitives from service, a course betraying total disregard for all constitutional barriers and guarantees.)
I admitted that the fathers, both of the North and the South, who framed the old Constitution, while recognizing existing slavery and guaranteeing its continuance under the Constitution so long as the States should severally see fit to tolerate it in their respective limits, were perhaps all opposed to the principle. Jefferson, Madison, Washington, all looked for its early extinction throughout the United States. But on the subject of slavery – so called – (which was with us, or should be, nothing but the proper subordination of the inferior African race to the superior white) great and radical changes had taken place in the realm of thought; many eminent latter-day statesmen, philosophers, and philanthropists held different views from the fathers.
The patriotism of the fathers was not questioned, nor their ability and wisdom, but it devolved on the public men and statesmen of each generation to grapple with and solve the problems of their own times.
The relation of the black to the white race, or the proper status of the coloured population amongst us, was a question now of vastly more importance than when the old Constitution was formed. The order of subordination was nature's great law; philosophy taught that order as the normal condition of the African amongst European races. Upon this recognized principle of a proper subordination, let it be called slavery or what not, our State institutions were formed and rested. The new Confederation was entered into with this distinct understanding. This principle of the subordination of the inferior to the superior was the "corner-stone" on which it was formed. I used this metaphor merely to illustrate the firm convictions of the framers of the new Constitution that this relation of the black to the white race, which existed in 1787, was not wrong in itself, either morally or politically; that it was in conformity to nature and best for both races. I alluded not to the principles of the new Government on this subject, but to public sentiment in regard to these principles. The status of the African race in the new Constitution was left just where it was in the old; I affirmed and meant to affirm nothing else in this Savannah speech.
My own opinion of slavery, as often expressed, was that if the institution was not the best, or could not be made the best, for both races, looking to the advancement and progress of both, physically and morally, it ought to be abolished. It was far from being what it might and ought to have been. Education was denied. This was wrong. I ever condemned the wrong. Marriage was not recognized. This was a wrong that I condemned. Many things connected with it did not meet my approval but excited my disgust, abhorrence, and detestation. The same I may say of things connected with the best institutions in the best communities in which my lot has been cast. Great improvements were, however, going on in the condition of blacks in the South. Their general physical condition not only as to necessaries but as to comforts was better in my own neighbourhood in 1860, than was that of the whites when I can first recollect, say 1820. Much greater would have been made, I verily believe, but for outside agitation. I have but small doubt that education would have been allowed long ago in Georgia, except for outside pressure which stopped internal reform.

The Infamous "Cornerstone Speech"
Concerning, Alexander Stephens "The Cornerstone Speech" wherein he states…..


text: Washington - US newspapers have described the impending bankruptcy of General Motors as the end of an era for the US vehicle industry, but also as an opportunity for a new beginning.Saddled by a heavy debt burden, GM, the leading US carmaker, will declare bankruptcy on Monday, senior US officials said.But the officials said they hoped it would be a swift process, and GM should be able to re-emerge from bankruptcy protection as a new, leaner company within 60 to 90 days.The Detroit Free Press said in an editorial that "the Chrysler, GM and other bankruptcies in the automotive sector are meant to be transitions, not liquidations" and that "these companies don't intend to close their doors.""Diminution of the 'big' leaves room for the small - new, innovative and edgy entrepreneurs of the sort who built the auto industry in Detroit way back when," the paper continued. "Many of them may be just an idea around here at the moment. But that's how a future starts."The Washington Post said the court filing will mark "the end of financial independence for the 100-year-old industrial leviathan that once conflated its interests with the country's and that employed well over one million people."The paper quotes a letter sent to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner by 20 members of the House of Representatives, who complain that "contractual rights of investors are being trampled by the government."The proposal seems to favour the rights and claims of the UAW (United Auto Workers union), a political ally of the current administration and a powerful lobbying force in Washington, over the rights and claims of the company's diverse group of bondholders," the letter said.The New York Times cautions the Obama administration that owning a car company like GM is likely to be "politically trickier than it appears at first blush."The Times said in an editorial that GM cannot be micromanaged from Washington."Neither the Treasury nor members of Congress should decide which plants or dealerships are to be closed, how many workers are to be laid off or hired, what specific designs GM adopts and where it should make them," the paper pointed out.Meanwhile, the conservative Wall Street Journal said the move essentially converts GM into "Obama Motors." The paper predicts "a long, expensive and unhappy exercise in political car making."Reminding readers that under the restructuring plan the US government will become the owner of most of GM, The Journal said the government would now try "to vindicate its ownership by favouring GM over Ford and the other auto makers that aren't wards of the state."A piece of legislation already passed by Congress already contains a $7 500 tax credit for consumers who buy GM's new electric car, the Chevy Volt, the Journal pointed out."Mr Obama likes to say he's a pragmatist who only prefers a government solution when it will work," The Journal concluded. "But in resurrecting an industrial auto policy that even the French long ago abandoned, the president has made himself GM's de facto CEO. Our guess is that he'll come to regret it as much as taxpayers will."

Just been pondering over Easter about the Cross. Having experienced and celebrated my 4th Easter, I started to wonder if Jesus died on the cross solely for the purpose of saving us from sin. And naturally, the next question popped up: if Adam and Eve did not sin, would Jesus still have to die on the cross?
I asked some of our brothers and they agreed that there was never a plan B. As in God knew from the beginning that creation would sin, that Jesus will die on the cross even before Eve considered eating any fruit. So I wondered why would God want to make a sinful creation? And how is it that God would call such a sinful creation good?
Leon's essay on Hebrews seemed to answer my question spot on. This is an excerpt:
"You see, whilst the Letter to the Hebrews has much to say about the awesome, sure and secure salvation that God has wrought for us in Christ, a careful reading of this letter shows that it is a blinding exposition on the perfecting of the Only Begotten Son of God through the Cross. Everything else – creation, Adam and Eve, Israel, the law and yes, even sin and salvation - everything is simply the backdrop set up for the Cross of Christ to take centre stage, the Cross on which the Only Begotten Son of the Father is to be made perfect in love through this cursed and completely undeserved death in perfect obedience to the Father."
Perhaps it is true that all the world is a stage. Just as how a world class swimmer cannot show how good and fast he is when he competes at school but can do so when he triumphs in the ultimate competition at the Olympics; similarly God has so much love and power to show that he needs a stage to properly exhibit it.
This stage is thus creation. Creation created by Christ for Christ to show the love of Christ. Even before sin entered creation, God separated light from darkness. For one cannot see darkness unless there is no light; when Jesus entered creation, he has to be absent in some places or we will not be able to see darkness or see how bad sin is. God created darkness by withdrawing light but he did not create sin, for sin was not created but a product of being lesser, of being good but not perfect.
I like my damsel in distress analogy. All good proper movies need a hero who dies for the damsel, but if the damsel does not get into trouble, how is the hero going to die for her? How can he sweep her off her feet and bring her to paradise?
Thus creation was created good, but not perfect, it sinned and got into trouble. But Jesus, the hero is able to save the damsel from hell by sacrificing himself and being a ransom, thus having the stage and means to display his awesome love and awesome power over death. That Jesus is able to make creation one with her, perfect and spotless and sweep her off her feet to eternal paradise.
Another problem popped up as I wondered why God would be angry with sin if God created us not perfect knowing that we will sin. Then again, this can be understandable when a couple considers having babies, we all know how babies can morph into immensely painful and exasperating teenagers yet we still want to have babies. But when they do mess up and do drugs and call Jesus pooh, we will be very angry and sad and will be even angrier and even more disappointed when they do not listen to us and repent. How much more is it with God our eternal Father in heaven.
There is one problem with the damsel in distress analogy though. Whilst the hero often takes the bullet as payment for the enemy, or pays the ransom so that the damsel can be freed from captives, the ransom paid at the cross is to God and by God. Not a ransom paid to Satan to set us free. We are doomed to hell not because of Satan but because we have broken God's holy requirements which condemns us to eternal separation

Senator Lovinggood favored Kathryn with a big smile. "Go on, son. Apologize. She's too attractive for you to stay angry with her."
"What's wrong, Hank?" she jeered. "Are you upset by your lack of imagination, or does it bother you that you've proven to be an impossible boor? Don't you want to kiss and make up?"
"I've heard about enough of your nonsense," Hank shouted. "I'll show you how to kiss and make up!"
In case you're wondering, things are about to take a turn for the better in their relationship.

Wanna hit but not commit
Can't handle a relationship…
When it comes to love, you say you're just confused
However, when it comes to sex, you have your share of amuse
You like the home cooked meals
However, pay no bills
Not willing to pay the cost
Yet you parade around the house like you the boss
Love to show off your so-called lady
But scared to be steady
You making physical demands
Without placing emotional deposits into me
You wanna keep me to yourself
Yet you walk around with a sign that reads, "I'm available and free"
Come on now, what kind of fool u take me to be?
Walk around with a big chest
Meanwhile still sucking your mama's breast
Still living at home with your mother
Too afraid to step out so the world you won't truly discover
Quick to say, "I'm a man"… yeah a man with no plan
Talkin bout you got a job, LOL, ohhkay! Uh! You can't eat without money
That's your reasonable service to yourself honey
You say, "It's hard out here for black men."
I say, "It's hard out here for people."
You say, "Woman, you just don't understand"
I say, "No Brother, you just need to be a man"
Stop sitting by the wayside, learn to stand.
You got a new expensive ride
Therefore, you showboat and sport it
But you still living in an apartment
Shoulda used that dough for a mortgage
Bank account in the negative
Fake "Ballin"; fronting like that's the lifestyle you live
Paying your bills on time is a crime
I know, cus your
Cell phone can barely stay on for months at a time
You flaunt an image as if your stuff is prime
You walk around with your head on cloud nine
Cuz a few ladies said your were fine
Get a life boy, stop wasting precious time
Eventually you're gonna have to cross that thin line.
And uhhh! I won't be around to see.
No need for me to waste valuable time
You either grow up or get left behind.
Oh! I talk a lot of trash, huh? Ha-ha
That's fine; you still ain't getting none of mine!

Your prurience to empower
What a joy it is to hearken
To your promulgation
Of experience and divine revelation
I'm enthralled by your articulation
It's a mental invitation to your habitation
And I must confess
Over the years
You have experienced maturation.
And I enjoy every sip
Of your ballpoint, felt-tip
© CLM 2009 All Rights Reserved
My fire inside
Won't let me fade out or die
It hates the dark
So Imma continue to fight
Dim yours if you must
But I gotta leave on my light
© CLM 2009 All Rights Reserved
Sins sweet allure
Is now a festering sore
Off your soul it is feeding
Gnawing at the very essence of your being
Your spirit has experienced offense
No longer do filters and repellents provide defense
Contaminating you with ungodly agents
Inserting the devil's stench
You are losing your sweet fragrance.
Sins sweet lies
A bitter tasting honey
Embraces my broken spirit
Rendering my praise mute
If the Lord is calling
I can't hear it
My heart has hardened
To the Truth
I want to pray
But don't see the use
So far gone
My feet have slipped
Unable to get a grip
Can't shake this affliction
This addiction
From the son of perdition
My soul sails lifeless
Thru the world
Bound by an identity crisis
Tell me I'm still yours...
Because I don't want this life anymore
Receive me back into your fold
My past ways are stale and old
Show me how to put on the new
Even if it means that I be tried
Do what you gotta do
I know to be bonafide
I must be purified
Lord, my spirit is willing
But my flesh is weak
I've become a secular freak
Who eats foul meat
Remove this stall of sin
Holy Spirit reign within
Wash me
Let your rejuvenating rain
Cascade over my soul
Remove the stains
The pain
Make me whole
I know
Again and again
I strayed
So stay with me...
Stay in me
Because without You
Is so

Guard Your Heart
Here's the poem, receive it, believe it and act on it today!
You stroke her mind with your charm
Giving off the impression that from you there is no harm
Sweet lies of nothingness bliss is what you bring
Insincere and misleading songs are what you sing.
In the heart of a hurt but hopeful woman, your name rings.
She hears but doesn't hear
Your words are mellifluous to her fragile ears
She sees but doesn't see
Her loneliness and desperation disables her from seeing clear
She fears but doesn't fear
Therefore, she embraces you more, thinking that you really care
As spiritual transgression transpires
She befits what the flesh desires
Inveigled by a seemingly good light
This beautiful woman walks away from what's right
To someone that is just pleasing to her immediate sight
Daintily you caress her with a soft stroke
Careful not to be forceful because you know the wrong key
Will alarm her and send her away
The setting is fixed and perfect flowers have been picked
You lead her to your dead room that you call the living room
Surrounded by aromatherapy she smells yet doesn't smell
Unable to discern that she's inhaling toxic fumes
She breathes in smog air into what is spirit filled
Not knowing that her soul you are out to steal
Cautiously you play a tune for you two to commune
That clean vessel is no longer fine-tuned
What was once tailored for the Holy Ghost to indwell
Has now been shared by a stronghold who seeks to prevail
His intent is to conquer and destroy this host
So that in hell with him her soul can burn and roast
However, even in the midst of her dealings
She is alerted by an uneasy feeling
The Holy Spirit still lives within and loudly reminds her
That sin must not reign within
As she listens to this inner voice
She knows that she must make a choice
She now sees that her soul is what this man is out to take
But Oh! The mercy of God is still there when we make mistakes
He always provides a way of escape.
The question is "Will she take it?"
Ladies, if this hits home I beckon with you to listen
Get on your knees now and start repenting…
Stand strong don't be led astray
Because life without the Holy Ghost ain't living.

You are man
We are different yet still equally we stand
I am no more phased than you are with that common cliché "I must know my place"
I am a woman and I walk in my designed state.
I don't need permission to be
I am what I am, I am woman, and I am rightfully me
My purpose is to be what God has called me to be
In Christ there is no need for competition when you know your position.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
Meticulously and uniquely tailored for success,
I am woman, an elegant representation of God's best.
I am a live, walking woman.
Whatever I am given is multiplied.
Don't treat me as inferior because your purpose & full potential is what you're undermining.
Embrace and support me, you know too
My leadership and strength is awe-inspiring.
Were we not both made in God's image?
Don't you know that I was made for you?
When you oppress me and seek to keep me silent you only deny the truth.
I am sent to help you fulfill God's vision.
Don't be duped by denial and ego's which only cause division.
My being and abilities were bestowed unto me to help man.
I too am a product of God's purposeful plan.
I am a natural born leader just as you.
No one can take that away.
I am more than just a life-giver and a pretty face.
There is more to me than just fancy array.
Yes, I have emotions, after all, I was made to feel.
I do not apologize for them; it is what enhances my appeal.
When you come to understand the beauty of a woman.
You'll find that she is a reflection of you.
Made not to be ahead or behind but to stand by your side.
Yes that is where I am to reside.
I dare you to discover your destined lover and throw away your pride.

Your plan of demise
Has been recognized
Oh, Yes!
Someone saw through your disguise
Woe unto thee
For those who seek to oppress me
I got ten times the love to show
That will outweigh your hate
Revenge is for the Lord
He'll determine your fate
You and your lame crew
Always talking bout what you goin do
Just a bunch of talk-a-too's
That never follow through
Woe unto thee
For those who seek to oppress me
I got ten times the love to show
That will outweigh your hate
Revenge is for the Lord
He'll determine your fate
I pity you fool
Still you haven't a clue
Other's see; why can't you?
You strutting around with a sign that reads "The Devil's Dung"
You addicted…God help your soul …
Cus Satan got you sprung.
You have no idea of your present state
Your only skill is hate
… walking reprobate
Woe unto thee
For those who seek to oppress me
I got ten times the love to show
That will outweigh your hate
Revenge is for the Lord
He'll determine your fate

Seems Like My Sooner Than Later Was Your Last Time
My needs are simplistic
He said they weren't realistic
And because he dismissed it
I went ballistic
Seems like…
The more I sought
The more he fought
To dodge my emotions like a sport
I wanted to spend quality time
He'd rather hang with the fellas and get fried
Cheeks salty from the tears I cried
No longer could I trust him
He done told too many lies
Seems like…
The more I sought
The more he fought
To dodge my emotions like a sport
Sooner than later…
I found out
What I would
Was that I shouldn't
And what he should
Was that he couldn't
Last time…
He came around
He was the one down
His smiles soon reverted to a frown
Now who looks like a clown?
Last time…
I'd be kicked in the rear
No longer will I shed a tear
Long gone are those blind episodes
I got a new flash
Now the pictures clear.
Seems Like my Sooner than Later was your Last Time…

He was clean as a slate
But his spirit was somewhat full
So I said, "What's on your plate?"
He said, "I was served the wrong meal.
Didn't check to see what was the deal
Should not have bitten this thing
Now pain is all I feel."
He said, "It looked appetizing
This entrée was pleasing to the eye
I just couldn't pass it by
"So of course, I had to investigate
Yes, I gave it a taste
However, to my surprise it was bland
It was a big waste"
I told him, "You gotta take your time; don't fall for infatuations spell"
He asked me, "How could you tell? I said, "Because unseasoned meals seldom proveth well.

Sometimes it hurts too much to live
That we just wanna expire
When the pain that we forbear
Makes the air we inhale too smog to breathe.
So the worlds faulty ICU (Intensive Care Unit) is what we cleave.
Sometimes the sting is just too much to bear
That we'd rather live our lives in fear
When words and actions cut us so deep
That we'd rather hide our emotions and to ourselves we keep
Sometimes the road frequently traveled can make us too contented.
That the road less traveled is often times resented.
When the box is the safest place to reside
That we'd rather exist in it and hide
Than to live outside.
Sometimes decision making can be too problematic
That avoiding them becomes systematic
And our God-given abilities we mistrust
Only to allow others to dictate to us what we must
Sometimes letting go of the old to embrace something new
Is too much suspense
That we'd rather just straddle the fence
Sometimes embracing our identity
Requires too much self examinations

Thirteen years I have known you
And I often questioned why we were not a couple
I've seen your good, the bad and the ugly
Witnessed your many affairs of trouble
Was there to speak life when your spirits were crumbled
I was young and impressionable
Things I did or didn't do, just like you, were of course questionable
But through it all, I still held you dear
Too far away from you I could never steer
I am a woman now
Ripe and bursting with glee
If only you knew the interior alterations made
To bring out the magnificence in me
I was all up on your tip
But you wouldn't give me a sip
It has been a long time coming
And I still require work
But I have matured
The manifestations are continually birthed
Now I see that you desire me
You must have gotten a taste of my reality
But sorry babes; the past is my history
And I am no longer thirsty.

Agape love is what I send you.
Understanding and total support will always be here, as well as
Respect, honor, submissiveness and complete care
I promise to be faithful an always true
Communicating at all times, you'll never have to read in between the lines
Except for this one time
Love has found me and is here to stay. Nothing will change the way I feel about you. There's nothing anyone can do or say. If loving you is wrong then that's a price I'm willing to pay. I've loved many and always will but being in love is something rare for me, something brand new.
Somewhere deep within my soul I've allowed you to reside to willfully abide in a place no other love has ever been before. Many have knocked but for you I have opened the door. I've allowed you to be my lover, confider, protector and most of all, my friend. I've never been in love, though the mere thought of it leaves me more and more anxious to be.
If being in love is what I am feeling now then I must say it's the best feeling I've ever had. This love always put a smile on my face, even when I am upset or sad. This unconditional love I've receive is evidence of how much love has for me.
Despite how selfish or inconsiderate I may be. Love always manages to forgive me. This must be real love, because I'm usually the one giving and never receiving reciprocity.
How wonderful it is to finally be loved back genuinely. I will forever be appreciative of this love sent to me. So my darling love, I vow to edify you, encourage you, and honor you, until I leave this earth. With or without you being physically near. I know my love will always be here.

Inspired by the unconditional love shown to me by Anthony M. Jackson
Written: 3/12/2003 @ 9:33 am
It blesses my heart to see the smiles on your face
Meticulously made and filled with such splendor
Such a marvelous creature; so glad to meet yah!
So many of us and all are different
Embrace your individuality for it's the personifies you
However, remember the common ground; we are all sisters
Made by God to love each other and so much more
When we JOIN, it's hard for anyone to ignore
The unity in our walk, the harmony when we talk.
The grace in our stride, the strength that we provide
Is just a portion of what we possess
Anything we build up through Christ is destined for success
We wouldn't have it any other way
Because we're eloquent examples of God's best
When JOINT SISTERS collaborate
We induce Godly love and admonish hate
Oh, Yes! We are tied by more than just our gender state.
We must connect and work towards fulfilling our predestinated fate.
Look to neither left nor the right
Just reach out to a sister and help win this spiritual fight
Minister to her, encourage her, and help her reach new heights
Embrace the wings behind your back
Let them take flight
I see the halo over your head
Continue to let it shine brightly!

This Is What I Want From You
He said, "I want your honesty, your time and your loving communication.
When I ask of your opinion, it doesn't mean I want you to be hypercritical or told what I should do. It means, I want the truth and value your input and seek encouragement from you.
When I ask of your time, it doesn't mean I want to wrestle you for loving. I simply want to enjoy your presence.
When I said, "I want a self-sufficient woman that is secure and confident; it doesn't mean I want a woman who feels she does not need me. I request this because I too need to be able to trust you.
When I said, I desire your sensitivity and compassion, it doesn't mean I want your desperation I don't expect you to allow my wrongs to be right. It means, enlighten me but still love me despite.
When I said, I need some space; it doesn't mean I love you less or that my love is fading. It means I need time with self and no one else.
When I take the time to tell you what's on my mind. LISTEN! You can only do that when you are SILENT!
When I walk away in the midst of an argument, I don't need you to provoke me, and No! I am not leaving you; I am getting some air because I refuse to be violent.
When I tell you how to do something, it's doesn't mean I am seeking to regulate rather I am trying to educate.
When I mess up and buy gifts, it is because I am trying to find a way to reconcile. I may not be as versed as you but my gifts are genuine and I give these to show that my love for you is true.
From the day I took your hand, I wanted one woman to understand.
This is what I want from you!"

Doesn't mean it is the right way
Just because you speak your mind
Doesn't mean all will listen to what you have to say
Just because you have a way with your words
Doesn't mean your words will have their way with me
Just because you're appealing to the naked eye
Doesn't mean that I can't resist thee
Just because I said, "I was no quitter."
Doesn't mean I'll stay around and suffer neglect
Just because you don't agree with my convictions
Doesn't mean that I don't deserve respect.
Just because your jewelry glitters
Doesn't mean that you are gold
Just because you're a straight shooter
Doesn't mean that you are bold
Just because you have plenty bread
Doesn't mean you can't be humble and meek
Just because you claim what's between you're inner legs is glee
Doesn't mean you have to be everybody's freak
Just because you're not behind bars
Doesn't mean that you're free
Just because we share our views
Doesn't mean that it is great news
Just because we seem profound
Doesn't mean that what we share is sound
In fact, just because we can; doesn't mean Amen!

So guess what??? I didn't have my cell phone to call anyone to assist me. I didn't have any change so I had to pull over and walk a mile to the nearest store which turned out to be Giant Food. I asked for change and was told they couldn't open the cash draw and that I had to purchase something to get change. WOW! $1.29 just to get pack of chewing gum. I called my VP and she came and got me. I had an excellent spare tire in the trunk but no jack.
Moral of the story: Don't ignore the pulls on your heart or your first intuitions, they are normally correct. Had I heeded all that came to my spirit, I probably would not have gone through this long ordeal. Nevertheless, I am well and so is my spirit and I still passed this test. You see I did heed the pull on my heart to pray and that prayer and praise came before the tire incident and brought on peace so I was not emotionally or mentally overwhelmed. I just laughed and said the DEVIL IS A LIAR. The battle has already been fought and I was VICTORIOUS! AHAHAHA My God is a GOOD GOD!
Learn to trust that voice inside you, your inner man tells you exactly what to do and what to say, if you only listen.
Unbeknownst of Me
Is how others used to view me as
They consider that sweet and meek
Now I am bold, I speak up for myself and use the pain as gain.
And to think some people are threatened of my change
They'd much rather I remain the same
But, there is no way a person can tell me
That when God touches your life
That he desires for you to stay as the old
Surely, he wants you to take on the new
All the while to yourself staying true
Reflections of the past is how others choose to see me
However, I do not let my past reflections
Interfere with my current progressions
For if I did, my growth would suffer from neglect
And I just can't have that.
So many think they know me
Yet really haven't a clue
Of what really makes me happy
Nor do they understand the things that I do
No one knows my inner struggle
Not my mother, my father, my sisters or child
Only God knows my heart and to him I seek to make proud
When was the last time someone actually took the time to ask, "How I feel?
Before, running to me sharing their problematic ordeals
I only know but a few and sad to say but some don't care to hear my truth
They resort to their own opinions and then try to force their perceptions onto me
However, I no longer welcome that, you see… I know my reality.
So many are unbeknownst of me
And if one truly wanted to know who I am and where I came from and going…
They need only read my story…
It lies right in my poetry.

Understand or Lose your Man
No longer able to withstand the pressure of her demands
He contemplated walking away from their relationship
For it was far better to become a happy single man
Than be dismal with a petulant woman
Who sought to change instead of understand.
She said, "The way he demonstrated his ardor Made receiving him much harder." Her implorations were validated
Simply because that's the way, she felt
Yet she failed to realize that
By trying to change his method of affection
She ruined in his sight; her appeal
Their rapport turned into skirmish formalities
From their cornucopia of calamities
All because of her inability to embrace the beauty of his individuality
Rapt in her credence of acceptable affection
She accused him of emotional disconnection
Affronted and gammy by her wrongful assumption
He finally walked away from this unnecessary tribulation.
Realizing that this was wrong from it's conception.

I settled for less but not again
When you choose to entertain ungodly men
Disappointment comes about I shared my most precious gift
I shared my most precious giftWith an unworthy man who could care a bit About the well-being of my spirit.
My flesh is what he desired
And when that transpired Another woman he hired Quality time is what I requested But by him it was constantly neglected I'll admit the brother gave some bomb head But a sexual quick fix But really his spirit was hallow
But by him it was constantly neglectedHe pleased my flesh, oh yes he did
I'll admit the brother gave some bomb headBut at the end of it he could offer nix
But a sexual quick fixHe paraded around a false bravado
But really his spirit was hallow
He harbored such a cunning charm
That to a kind hearted woman would do harm Thank God he ended that jam I strayed away from the fold
Thank God he ended that jamBut that's what he does for his lambs
I strayed away from the foldAnd like a good shepherd He came after me And brought be back home CLM 2008 All Rights Reserved
Come A Little Higher
You think I'm wrong
I know I'm right
You refuse my ways
Knowing my will still is the final say.
You choose your own path
Then suffer from the aftermath.
When you fall, I'm the one you call
You complain about your chosen mess
On how you failed another test
Well get back up, return to me and continue to progress
I am the way, the truth and light
But you must first choose to win this fight
One-step is all I need you to make
But I cannot make the decision for you.
You must walk by faith.
You must learn to trust in me and
Activate what you have been taught
Monitor what you allow in your thoughts
The devourer is always lurking around to confuse, destroy and distort.
Seek me now, not later; quit making me your last resort.
Stop seeking instant gratification and
Embrace the gradual process of purification.
The sooner you repent and fully let me in.
The easier it will be to refuse sin.
Why keep tempting yourself with the past?
Wake up; don't you realize it won't last?
Rejoice that you're no longer bound and
That in me, Love, Joy and Peace is found.
Stop letting those dormant folks stick around.
They are useless and their ways are unsound.
So what if they talk, that's all they do.
Don't dwell on comments made by people who
Haven't taken the time to know you.
I command you to walk in your newness of life.
Embrace the road less traveled and behold mysteries
That has never been unraveled.
I have called you to see what others have not
But you must walk with me and do my will to get to the top.
Make no room for doubt or vein glory
I am using you to tell a story
Be a willing book and let me insert the contents
Put down your eraser and I'll use my pen
Don't question, why, how, or when?
Just know that once I begin no one will end
What I have for you my friend
I will restore above and beyond what your mind can conceive
Where there will be no room enough for you to receive.
I am your Jehovah Gireh
You're every second of the day provider.
Reach out to me, praise me, worship me, love me, follow me and I will take you higher.
No need to doubt my greatness I will never retire.
Now assume your position you are hired.

Cant get enough you
Lord you are my boo
Never had I a man that can do what you do
You are my beginning and end
My lifetime my forever friend
You created a smile that gleams from within
You changed me Lord
You freed me from the clutch sin
Thank you Lord, for I know I am forgiven
When others stepped out
You walked right on in
You took the broken pieces of heart and put back each part
When abandonment caused my soul to ache
You showed Me youd never forsake
You loved me as your child
You cleansed me Lord, you made me whole
You unraveled beauty I never thought Id behold
Im no longer timid because of you I stand BOLD
Lord, you took away the hurt
When my soul hungered something new
You came and quenched my thirst
No one can fill your place
Lord in my life I will keep you first
When this temple was for rent
You came and bought me out
You purchased me at full price
Now Im a Holy House
You came with a lifetime warrantee
You said you would supply all my needs
You took the time to sow healthy seeds
From you Lord my soul feeds
When all I could do was frown
You came and formed a smile
When my emotions tried to lead me astray
You came along and showed me a new way
When I thought I couldnt trust again
You showed me who to place my faith in
When fear of defeat consumed my thoughts
You told me the battle has already be fought
Past relationships, Oh Lord! You know they cut me deep
Thought Id never rebound from the injuries
Nevertheless, your love removed all the pain
In your care, my life is sustained
Thank you Lord, the head up my life you WILL remain!

Dear Brother
Hello my brother, may I talk to you for a sec? I happened to walk by and noticed that your head was bowed. Now I don't know if you were praying but it didn't look that way to me. In fact, if I didn't know better I'd say you were crying. Is there something wrong may I pray for you? Will you allow me to tell you about a God who is almighty and true? May I introduce you to the savior who helped me see the inner beauty in me? I'm sure he can do the same for you, if you choose to let him in. You see he's the type of God who unconditionally loves despite our many sins. No matter how many times we fall, he always has his hand to lend. He even brings people into our lives and helps us develop friendships that strengthen. He gave me his complete love and care and when I opened my heart he proceeded to do his part. He's the one that gave me that twinkle in my eye and this beautiful spark. All I had to do what repent and believe and that was the start. The start of an irreplaceable bond between a father and child. He won't let anything come between us, this I know to be a fact. I am second to none when God is concerned, my faith and knowledge are derived from him, everyday there something else for me to learn. He constantly blesses me and some things weren't even earned. He gives his children grace and constantly shows his patience. Yes, he chastises us too but that's his way of showing he loves you. A responsible father guides and steers his youngin's the right way. Discipline and constant love is shown everyday. It's so amazing to see how he deals with all his children. Not one is neglected, all are very well protected. Oh! Did I tell you that he laid down his life so that we could be set free? I know he's a good God, cus I don't know anyone else who would do that for me. I know I seem to be very boastful about him but I can't help it he is what he is. He'll never forsake you or leave you when you're going through. He's always here whenever you need him with a listening ear. Eagerly waiting to heal your wounds and erase your fears. Boy, I'm telling God is good, no one can tell me that my daddy doesn't care. So if you want I'll help you meet him, I'm sure he'll receive you with open arms. No, he isn't going to be mean, I promise you'll never have to worry about danger or harm. Well don't just take my word, come see yourself. Of all his goodness and that I proclaim I guarantee once you meet him you'll never be the same. 2003 Chelsea L. Mulzac All Rights Reserved

No Fear Through Warfare
No fear through warfare
Thoughts from the past try to rear its ugly head
I can't look back I must walk with the living and continue to forsake the dead
Run back to my old ways, God forbid
I have shall persevere because I am a child of his
So many decisions to be made and things to let go
Some days I got answers and then some days I just don't know
Wolves in sheep's clothing hang around in packs
Trying to catch me slipping hoping that I fall off track
Surrounded by a heap of shams who still wonder why I don't claim them as fam
Counterfeit smiles filled with deceit and beguile
Nevertheless, my radar sensed the crew and though it seems to be many
I fret not, because me + God make plenty
Loneliness tries every now and then to tease me with the fact that I'm single.
Whispering in my ear, You're never gonna meet your mate if you don't get out and mingle." Yet past landmarks remind me of what I had and what I don't want seconds of
Therefore, I wait on the Lord, stay optimistic and will only embrace a man who truly loves
Single parenting is in a league of its own
Taking care and raising a child ain't easy
Yet still I manage to make my house a home
Trust and believe I too will benefit from the doctrinal seeds that have been sown
Daily doses of knowledge keep my mind ahead
After applied knowledge, wisdom does her thang
Oh, yeah! My spirit is well fed
Revelations from my battles shoot me up the ladder
Insight from Gods word makes me fatter
My spiritual bank runs over; truly, God's way is enriching
Those who can't relate; sorry to say but u suffer from malnutrition
Backstabbers and vile doers a conviction for you is secure
Your defense is of no avail
With God on my side
There's no way in hell that evil will prevail
The fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much
And in case you haven't noticed; God's anointed can't be touched
You've been defeated and rejected
Life without God is just too hectic
Might as well, bow down and respect it!

That to you seems so new
Maybe I'm not the person
Who turned your gray skies blue
Maybe the lovely character you claim to see in me
Always resided in you
Maybe it took meeting a stranger
With the will to live freely
For you to embrace life and see it more clearly
Maybe my wish to live and not just exist
Will encourage you to no longer reminisce
But enjoy each moment of today's bliss
Who knows .
Maybe I could be the basket
That you place all your eggs in
Maybe I was sent into your world
To be your life-long friend
Perhaps, I was sent to you and you were sent to me
To help each other fulfill each others destiny
I'm not broke; neither do I have an abundance of money
But honey I know how to love and I'm rich in personality
So Take my hand, I'll help you stand
Lemme show you the true beauty that stems from a woman
And you can show me the courageous leadership from man
We can grow together
Steering through any weather
We can help make each other's soul feel better.
Yeah We can be soul friends
Together we can be where happiness begins and sorrow ends.

Shy Interest
He sits in front of his screen
Like a hopeful feign
Skimming through this place
Looking for a pretty face
But to no avail, he's no longer compelled
To search pic's because to him; no longer do they benefit
Therefore, he observes names that would cater to his appeal
Lo and behold...
He comes across a screen names that seems chill
Therefore, he investigates
And what do you know...
He come comes across "Unequivocal_glo"
What does he read "Ambiance of Luv?"
Wow! She seems interesting
He clicks on the page and beholds a lady
Questioning "Is she sweet or is she shady?"
At the same time thinking, "She sure is beautiful, what a creation..."
But his fear of rejection brings on his hesitation
You need to know I C U
And my question is to you
"Why do you always peek and yet not speak?
It is evident that to you my page entreats.
Don't be shy, I don't bite, if there's something you'd like to say, please share.
To listen would be my delight.
Now if you choose to visit without words that's fine too.
But why deprive yourself of more when clearly I intrigue you?
Nevertheless, if a glance is all you need
Well then be blessed and by all means proceed .

Two very good films
The first thing I'd like to mention is just how good The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is. Myself and a couple of friends went to see it at The Screen on The Green on Saturday, and all three of us loved it. But the more I've thought about it over the past couple of days, the more it's grown on me. It's almost unique for a film that spends a lot of time being silly and whimsical to hold my attention for several days. The fact that it provided the ambience for a great dream on Saturday night has a lot to do with that though.
Anyways, if you've not seen the film already, then you really should do. It's Wes Anderson's best film to date (though I've not seen Bottle Rocket yet... it's on one of the movie channels next Monday night) and Bill Murray is just incredible as the eponymous hero. He brings far more depth to a character who is half-cartoon than you'd imagine possible. In the very first scene of the film, Steve Zissou is given bizarre cartoonish eyes as a result of surfacing too soon from a deep dive. Yet the larger-than-life adventurer is rendered believable by Murray's performance.
In fact, all of the performances are flawless. It is the sign of a truly great director that they can get the best from their actors. Klaus Daimler (as played by Willem Dafoe) deserves special mention though, for managing to steal almost every scene he's in. And of course Seu Jorge who provided the ship's soundtrack.
It's here that I should point out that as a huge Bowie fan, Wes Anderson had a big head-start when it came to me. A film soundtracked with early Bowie, much of which is sung beautifully in Portugese by Seu Jorge... just sat there in the background of the scene with an acoustic guitar... is going to have to try very hard to piss me off. Wes Anderson does truly incredible things with music in his films; in fact I'll go out on a limb here and say that no director does it better.
That scene in The Royal Tenenbaums where Gwyneth Paltrow steps off the bus and Nico's voice rises in the background.....? If that doesn't catch your breath for a moment you should be ashamed of yourself. And having all that early Bowie in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou really delighted me. But even for those who aren't Bowie or Nico fans, the skill with which Anderson weaves the songs into a scene should astonish anyone.
And on top of all that, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is a rip-roaring good yarn. It's an absurd adventure tale filled with psychedelic special-effects, bizarre and crazy characters, a plot that is both silly and compelling, and a surprising depth beneath the whimsy.
If you took out "psychedelic special-effects" and replaced it with "the god-like screen presence of Bruce Campbell" then the above paragraph could serve as the perfect introduction to another film... one I watched this evening in fact.
So on that note, Bubba Ho-tep is a rip-roaring good yarn. It's an absurd adventure tale filled with the god-like screen presence of Bruce Campbell, bizarre and crazy characters, a plot that is both silly and compelling, and a surprising depth beneath the whimsy.
If you only see one film this year... and I'm quite serious about this... then make it Bubba Ho-tep (directed by Don Coscarelli). In the early 90s I used to take really rather significant quantities of psychedelics with a group of friends. The plot of Bubba Ho-tep is about as weird as most of the conversations we would have on the come-downs. And I love imagining how it was pitched to investors.
Elvis Presley - the role that Bruce Campbell was born to play - lies almost bed-ridden in a crappy nursing home in Texas. He's probably got cancer on his cock, but whatever the growth is... it's pus-filled. And it's been years since he's had a hard-on. Elvis lies in despair and self-pity.
Back at the height of his fame, you see, the pressure got too much and he switched places with an Elvis impersonator. Now, of course, nobody will believe him, and everyone thinks he's just some whacked-out Elvis impersonator seeing out his last days before age, or cock-cancer, takes him away. However, in order to defend against a threat to the nursing home, he teams up with a man who claims to be President Kennedy dyed to look like a black man so that nobody would believe him (played by the late, lamented Ossie Davies).
The threat they face is the ancient Egyptian Mummy (Bubba Ho-tep) who happens to be feeding off the souls of the sick and elderly in the Texas nursing home (and writing hieroglyphic grafitti like "Cleopatra does the nasty" on the toilet cubicle walls when he takes a crap). All the laughs and groans that you'd expect are there.
But somehow it also manages to be an incredible meditation on old-age and how our culture deals with it. Seriously... it pisses all over the formulaic feel-good crap that Hollywood puts out on the rare occasion it tackles the subject. And ultimately you come away feeling like you've watched a substantial and insightful film. Despite it being about Elvis and JFK fighting a Mummy in a present-day Texas nursing-home.
So yeah, see them both. They're very groovy.

A very much better appetite!
Sleeps much better and more relaxed.\
As I've said earlier, he also seems more confident than before and is more willing to come home when I go looking for him.
I spoke to the vet this afternoon, about Tiger's earlier blood test results. There seems to be no alarming results except for an increase in the globulins, which indicates possible kidney problems. I was told to give him kidney protectors like Omega-3 and Omega-6 oils.
But the vet says there is no immediate hurry to buy him these supplements.
One day at a time, I suppose.

Jumping up and down. Hugging. Girly screams. A few tears shed. More hugs. Fingers pointing to The Man Upstairs, with "Thank You!" mumbled under the breath. And more hugs.
You might be conjuring up images of the US Women's Olympic team clenching gold at the Summer games in Atlanta, The US Women's soccer team winning the World cup, or the Team USA winning the World Softball tournament. Okay, maybe not the softball one. But clear your mind. This story is about Andrew and Isaac, of team Motts, crossing the finish line at the 2009 Urban Assault Ride in Minneapolis.
Andrew and Isaac have never won anything. Anything. So after Isaac spit out the last bead and the volunteer at the finish line confirmed, "Okay. You guys won the men's division," a slightly more dramatic than expected reaction occurred. Followed by a slightly more than necessary mid-day bender. But let's back it up to see how the story unfolds.

Sweet hat Isaac. I applaud that, even with the crappy picture resolution. Plus the podium chicks are hot. Well done. High fives all around.

Warm as Toast
It's taken all day but I've finally prompted the chronicler into action. She has a cold, poor thing, and claims she feels like death warmed up.
I'll let you into a secret. Death isn't cold. Not the angel, anyways. The act of death may well be – you might fall into a river or be discharged into space – but the Angel of Death is as warm as you or I – well, I, anyway.
I dated her sister one, Jedith, the Angel of Pestilence. She was pleasant enough company for a couple of hundred years but the relationship was doomed to failure. Can you imagine what people say about a demon and an angel? I tell you solemnly – you haven't racism until you hear the vitriol spouted by the guys in white..
In summary: Death warmed up is hot to trot.

rachel, I do believe that if I keep reading your blog every day the positions of angels, demons and the like, will all slot into place. Just be sure to stay consistent - I would hate to be led up the garden path.

Thank you Billy.
I can't not be consistent - it's just the way it is.

I certainly hope there is a special place in hell for rascists. Please tell me it is so.

Of course!
Where else would all the people go that thought Jesus was white?
