i'm fine right here Posted by poolboyjames on October 21, 2010 at 3:59 PM comments (0)i want to explain something i have never understood
why do people want to travel so bad? i mean like without a real reason.. like i understand if u r deeply into fashion and paris is the fashion capital then u will probably want to go there, i understand that but i don't get why people want to go on trips to just look around.. especially when its a place that really has no good traits to it like for example, i remember on the 1998 season of the real world the cast decided to go to nepal think about that.. why would a person want to go to nepal? its really hot outside.. 8 or 9 times out of 10 when u find a bathroom its not like a real bathroom, its just a hole in the ground.. one of the cast members drank water and had diarrhea for like 3 days.. people don't really have cars they ride elephants and ish like.. u see what i'm saying? i've never really understood why people are always so excited to leave the country and study abroad or just visit some place that really is horrible when u look at it on paper for example.. today in spanish class the teacher was telling us about a place in some spanish speaking country where people build everything they use out of straw.. she's talking about it like its so neat and cool and interesting but THEY MAKE EVERYTHING WITH STRAW like.. they live on water and somehow they make a foundation on a lake with straw.. then they build houses, and boats and all these things.. but.. say they make a boat.. it only lasts up to 4 months because its made of straw.. and same with their houses, they have to constantly remake everything because its built with straw and animal fat and junk so she's talking about how great this place is and how great their people are.. but to me that sounds like an ignorant way to live life.. like.. even going back to the three little pigs.. the wise pig built his house on a strong foundation out of bricks but the dumbest one used straw so i fail to see why anyone would want to visit or spend time at such a place.. she also explained to us how in some other country the homes and hotels are very small.. to the point where if you go to a hotel, they don't give u ur own bathroom, they have community showers at the hotel and a house for a family of like 6 people is the size of an apartment or something stuff like this i never understand.. why would i want to pay to go to a place that is hotter than tennessee? a lot poorer than tennessee a place that has a lot less space than tennessee a place where i'm more likely to get robbed simply because i am from the states a place that doesn't always have running water in the "bathrooms" a place where shoes and windows are a coveted luxury like why would i want to visit a place that is basically a downgrade from where i already live? see this is how i think: YES, in a lot of places, people live a lot different than us.. and we see that as culture but in a lot of ways i see it as.. we don't live like that CUZ WE DONT HAVE TO with all humility we are blessed here in the states so i've never really understood why people want to go somewhere else that is wack in comparison if i study abroad or travel i want to go somewhere that like.. HAS THE INTERNET and ish u know what i mean? people study abroad and come back and they're like.. "yeah we lived in huts for three weeks and ate frogs and drank goat milk.. isn't that great?" NO!!!! just wanted to get that off my chest

how to be smart Posted by poolboyjames on October 19, 2010 at 11:46 PM comments (0)i have a personal belief i'd like to share right now
that personal belief is this: honesty is a form of intelligence honesty is more valuable than anything that can be learned in a college curriculum honesty and truth are related truth being general indisputable fact honesty being personal fact truth and honesty are both complete in their very nature because any departure or withholding of information creates a lie (aka a half truth is a lie) people should become more honest with time however the opposite happens more often than not it is a major depravity to lie to oneself an honest person is more intelligent and/or wise than a liar because an honest person walks with foresight.. with an honest person, because that person knows they may have to give an account for themselves, their actions are weighed before they are executed and after their actions (which are generally of higher integrity than a liar's) are executed, the honest person gives an accurate account of their self, leaving room for improvement for next time (by leaving out delusions of grandeur and perfection) and also enjoying the current fruits of their honest actions if you saw a person steal something and put it in their pocket and you confronted them about it and they said they didn't steal it.. you first lose trust, then u are highly likely to deem that person to be "stupid" an "idiot" or any other name that describes a person of diminished mental capacity thus lying is a form of stupidity you can lie to yourself and say you're not an alcoholic when you clearly are heavily dependent on the bottle as long as you lie, you remain in a cycle that is not healthy once you acknowledge the truth of your situation, you can begin to make better decisions for yourself this indicates that honesty is conducive to a healthier lifestyle than a life lived with the aid of dishonesty, deception, and lies for another example take a business that scams people with deceptive practices vs. a business that is built on honesty and integrity in 10 yrs.. which business will still be standing? which business owner would u say is the smarter one? honesty is a highly underrated form of intelligence. even when taking morals out of the equation.. the fact remains that if you exercise lies, then you exercise your own ignorance and stupidity to lie is to run from the truth, to run from the truth is to neglect proper preparation they don't teach about this sort of intelligence in college, but it is much more important than algebraic equations i'll tell u that much so to my intelligent readers.. let's walk in truth and honesty! let's go!! part 1 Posted by poolboyjames on October 19, 2010 at 8:44 PM comments (0)i said a while back i'd continue posting documentary links and videos about the demonic nature of a lot of a lot of music
here's hell's bells 2 pt. 1 .. since there's 40 i can't post all of them but obviously u can watch the rest on youtube by beginning with this one.. if you're like me and u love music but you also love God then this stuff will be right up your alley because its all very eye-opening and insightful! sidenote: it may not mean anything to you, but #13 @ 8:03 shows 311 (i'm just saying this because 311 was always one of my fave bands but this has caused me to stop listening to them.. also i noticed personally that their don't tread on me album has the eye of horus in a pyramid on it) sidenote #2: metallica says the gayest thing i've ever heard on #19 beginning at 5:20..

orderly fashion Posted by poolboyjames on October 18, 2010 at 12:34 PM comments (0)one thing i see a lot on tv is this...
when people are poor and they steal or do something illegal/immoral for money they say things like: "i needed money for my kids" "i just want to support my family" i understand that wholeheartedly HOWEVER. what i don't get is... if you had no money, no job, no career, no education, and no prospects.. then why did u start a family in the first place? why put the cart before the horse? why haven't u established any sort of stability before starting a family? i mean a man and a woman can live peacefully with relatively little.. but once u add a kid in the mix, things become a lot different in a sense it all turns back around and points to me i look at that situation and i say "wow, thanks God for making love be elusive to me because i am not yet stable" the fact that i haven't been able to get or keep a woman in mylife in a lot of ways is a blessing.. a true provision.. its as if God is so loving, merciful, and faithful toward me that He simply refuses to give me a blessing i can't handle yet its like some people, God will allow them to struggle, but with me God is upholding virtue even at times when i really want a girl and feel like throwing a fit, God loves me enough and has enough foresight to say "you're not ready yet" so this way, when i DO become ready, things will be in order and blessed so hopefully i will achieve stability at some point in life and God will "to him who has, more is given" my situation cuz trust me.. i DEFINITELY would rather be where i am in my life today than be in a situation where my wife has to strip, or something stupid like that in order to keep food on the table for us and our kid u know what i'm sayin? -- miscellaneous ** Posted by poolboyjames on October 17, 2010 at 8:22 PM comments (0)i was telling my mom about this guy i know and some of the things he told me about his life
i said.. "he told me every time he had sex with a married woman it ended up as a bad experience" my mom shook her head in disgust and said "he needs to cut that out because all he's going to do is allow a curse into his life" what's funny about her statement was it immediately reminded me of something the guy told me earlier, and that was that his first born son died as a newborn it really made me think.. because i hadn't connected those two things until she made that statement but they are likely to be related God hates adultery and it is indeed an easy way to bring a serious curse into your life ++++++ how about raven symone is looking AMAZING these days raven i want to smooch you baybz!! ++++++ yesterday i got to see the whole family at o'charleys it was cool.. the kids (my nephews and niece) were all in theirhalloween costumes with all humility i feel very blessed to have a good family ++++++ i have finally come to the conclusion that i can't (and don't necessarily want to) control my feelings toward women sometimes i meet frustration when i really care about a woman and she doesn't reciprocate it used to bug me like "f*ck i love this girl but she doesn't care about me at all.. i have to find a way to turn my love for her OFF" but i have been realizing there's nothing wrong with me, my feelings are fine and i will just leave my emotions and my love set to "on" REGARDLESS OF HOW I AM TREATED i just have a lot of love to give in the Bible it says in the last days love will dry up i look around and i see this quite a bit people seek acceptance and love but don't find them because so many people are cold-hearted and superficial the Bible also says in the last days men would be lovers of self i see this all the time also but at the end of the day, i don't want to be cold-hearted, superficial, OR selfish i still love women, i still love family you know what i mean? if i'm punished for that with a lack of love and attention because women seek out bad boys then oh well.. i will bare that that's what integrity is all about.. refusing to do wrong even when its the most tempting option if no one appreciates me then that's their problem.. i have a lot of love to give and someone deserving will eventually get it i still love women and that's that.. no matter how little love i get back i will still love them and that's just what it is.. my heart isn't cold, i honestly care about them and its not contingent upon their conduct ++++++ the other day i was telling some girl about who i am and how i conduct myself as a Christian a lot of things i do (or don't do) are met with total disbelief by others if these things come up in conversation.. people don't believe me girls tend to say things like "i know how guys are" "most guys are all about..." "men only want..." am i James or am i "MOST GUYS" ??? things like this tend to irk me more and more its funny also because people have so many preconceived notions about others that when they meet someone 'different' they seem to have a moment of "OHHH WOOOW, so everyone is NOT the same..." then i see gears turning in their head mtv would have u think that every guy is a "jersey shore" type of guy don't believe the hype as a matter of fact turn the tv off and get to know a person from the inside out peaCe + Luvs @ random Posted by poolboyjames on October 16, 2010 at 9:29 AM comments (0)conversation at work:
tattooed girl: what is ur deal with tattoos? why don't u like them? me: ............don't people in prison have a lot of tattoos? tattooed girl: LOL, wow thanks for saying that ++++++ sooo.. based on a hip hop website i just checked out, T.I. is going back to jail for 11 months for a parole violation this is crazy to me.. this dude just got out of jail and now he's going back i find things like this to be funny.. not funny as in like laughing at his misfortune, but funny in that.. the opposite of what is supposed to happen is what happens u think.. he just got out of jail, he's counting his blessings, he has money, he has been doing youth outreach, he has a great career, he got married.. he will be doing really well from here on out! then u hear he's doing weed and ecstasy with his wife while on probation and sentenced to 11 more months of iron-vacation.. in my opinion this is affecting his career now.. because at first a lot of people would be like "tip's gone off to jail.. keep ya head up!!" .. but now its like.. "this stupid ngga did something else!?" this is why we can never be arrogant or anything.. because no matter how we stack our cards.. we never kno how they'll fall ++++++ i've been around some paranoid people lately.. one of my roommates seems more paranoid to me than most people i came in last night with my friend and it was dark my friend walked in before i turned on the light then out of nowhere my roommate jumped out from behind thekitchen counter LOL my friend was breathing hard and he was like "you scared the sh** out of me" HAHAHAHA i guess he thought my friend could've been a bad guy i don't kno one time i ran up to him to catch up with him outside and when i got to him he was like "oh that was you.. see i already had my arm cocked and ready" i was thinking to myself.. its 9am and ur on a crowded college campus who would rob you or try to beat you up in this environment? then one day he said "my sister's getting me a gun for my birthday" LOL i mean. TO ME this sort of thing is paranoia... however i am not dissing him or anyone like this because it is probably built into a beneficial trait the Bible says God gives us the ability to make money he says he wants to be a u.s. marshall or some ish so that trait will probably aid him in situations where he could be shot or whatever when people come up to me saying how they bought a new pocket-knife or how they sleep with a gun under their pillow, to me that is weird.. but i'm sure other people think i'm weird for their own various reasons.. at the end of the day we all work together and have different ways because we have different purposes.. the object is to appreciate and encourage people even when u think something they do is odd (within reason of course) because God may use what u think is weird in a very great and beneficial way ++++++ i got sonic the hedgehog 4 on the playstation network.. fun timez also downloaded a demo of the eyepet.. eyepet is great.. i highly recommend that for parents to get for their young kids.. its cool and creative enough for me to enjoy it so i'm SURE kids would go absolutely bonkers for that ish here's a pic of it.. its really neat in the game u just set up the camera and the screen is ur living room and on the screen u have a pet.. and u interact with the pet with ur bare hands or the playstation move controller.. it is VERY neat.. try it out if u haven't already.. free demo available on playstation network ++++++ i guess that's all i have for now we are on fall break so my goal is to spend some time reading a book i bought like 2 weeks ago and/or spend time making a song or something let's go!!!!! index 2 the sky!!! |
