To believe or not to believe?

I don't get "some" of this new age bullshit (some makes sense, but some is just bullocks). Pardon my french, but really - whats wrong with believing. The rewards of believing is eternal life - and the results of non believing is..nothing - we die and turn into dust. So if people wanna live their lives as believers, let them be and if they are right then they will reap the fruits - if they are not , they'll just turn into dust and that's it. Whereas, trying to change believers so they can "enjoy" the "worldly crap", if it turns that that's right then yea, dust ., coo, but if it's wrong - unending burning in hell. What the flip. Let people be. They wanna believe, let them be, live your life the way you want to. if they try change you - its ok, say no, but being a reasonable human being, one should know there is the possibility of them being wrong right. So before trying to change someone, why not consider the consequences of our beliefs being wrong.

if those who believe turn out to be right, then the reward is endless joy in paradise, if they wrong - nothing- if the non-believers turn out to be right - nothing, but if they wrong - HELL.

They say people scare you into believing. YES YES YES. Ever think that some people do believe in AIDS?

Think about it. Would you rather be wrong..

I'm just saying....

Forever Begins

I had a dream... No I ai't trying to be Martin Luther on this one, I literally had a dream, Monday night, and there was an encounter with Hitler. Shocking, absurd, weird, or whatever, but well, it happened - and still my stuborness shone in the presence of such a sick mind. Dont't really remember all the details - but jus that I was on the wrong side of his - and were to be executed - publicly. The dream didnt end well, and woke up sweating, screaming, mumbling prayers and I love you's lol.

Somehow - since the encounter with the Fuhrer, Ive had a strong feeling of rebirth, like I have been given a second chance. Seems a part of me really did die with that dream - if not all of me - and I was given a clean slate - to start all over again.

I know many may view this as absurd. but life is what you make it right. You believe what you want. We all want to make our lives better than they were before, improve and be better personz, whether spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, or in our shallow material needs. whatever you hold high on your priorities list, we all have a reason to start anew, afresh. A near death encounter, a dream, the birth of someone close, son, daughter, niece, the death of someone close - anything. Do not be afraid to start your forever today. Each moment can be manipulated into a sign to start anew, a reason to believe again, a clean slate.

Let's appreciate life, and take everday encounters and moments as a sign to begin your forever today. If forever began everyday, everyday can be a fresh start. Wouldnt you wanna wake up everyday and feel fresh, brand new, reborn, like the world is in your palms, like you a brand new person with a brand new chance to redo all the things you done wrong - take each task with a brand new enthusiasm....Impossible is nothing.

Wake up each morning and remind yourself - Forever Begins Today!

Love, Lotus, Soul.

Hello

Hello. Allow me to re-introduce myself. My name is, TJ, and it's so nice to meet you. It's been a long time. Sorry I been away for so long, I never meant to leave you.

It's the rebirth.

......

You never know till you know. Or maybe you just never know. Period.

Once i n a lifetime, there comes a person, or people who make such a difference, it's impossible to classify them as just a passing "friend", "crush" or waeva society may decide is the best "title" for them. Thus leading to a bunch of emotions, hopes, wishes, beliefs, changes. At that moment, you wonder the reason for the encounter. And it aint so easy when there's circumstances making the situation more unbearable..like..distance. You try and detach and it dont help, cuz every second thing is somehow linked and reminds you of the "encounter" so to speak. has it become an obsession?

The new book am reading is "The Zahir" by Paulo Coelho, and I read a commentary about the book which said "How far would you go for your obsession" Move to London? lol

So its been a while since I wrote, but nothing has changed. Still the same views, propositions, hopes and wishes. Maybe yes a few "to do's" have been fulfilled. But the ultimate seems to be hanging on, waiting for me to "grab the bull by the horn, and move to London" :-) Sometimes it's all about the leap yea. Leap of faith. or not? Especially when you dont know.

what to do.???

Do we set ourselves up for failure/disappointment?

"Have you ever fallen for someone out of your league?" "Have you watched The Obama Deception?" "Oh Eminem..." "Chrome Operating System!" "King Lebron - what happened?" "Will this be Liverpool's season?" "This could work." Microsoft bing." "Please let it work." "I'm sorry." These are all words/phrases/questions that have either been passed on to me or have been going through my head in the past few days. Questions, doubts, regrets, hopes, worries, what if's. What If? If only. Damn!

"I am finally coming to accept that I was a temporary inhabitant , there as a favour, like someone who finds himself in a beautiful mansion, eating exquisite food, aware that this is only a party, that the mansion belongs to someone else, that the food was bought by someone else, that the time will come when the lights will go out, the owners will go to bed, the servants will return to their quarters, the door will close, and he'll be out on in the street again, waiting for a taxi or a bus to restore him to the mediocrity of his everyday life...I'm going back, rather part of me is going back to the world where only what we can see, touch and explain makes sense...."

Heron Ryan. Paulo Coelho's "The Witch of Portobello".

Do we set ourselves up for disappointed. Do we guarantee our own disappointments? Day in day out we are faced by situations that need decisions to be made. Expectations to be set.. How do we set ourselves for disappointment, hurt, guarantee our own failure?

Dating :

Date/try and date/fall for someone out of your league and therefore will never see you in the same way, wishful thinking?

Try the long distance thing, believe the long distance thing will work, fall for someone far far away?

Date/Fall for someone of different race/religion, thus different beliefs, constant arguing and fighting, or just wishful thinking?

Goals and Objectives:

Believe Cleveland can win the championship (King Lebron anyone? - remember the Cleveland Curse?)

career choice - take on what we cannot manage, what is beyond our capabilities or what we do not love..all for the love of money or status - save face..pride?

Arsenal or Chelsea win the Champions League (lol - oops, had to take that shot..it was laid on a silver platter)

Standards and Expectation from relationships and friendships

"All you have is yourself. Nobody cares. Nobody. Can't trust no-one dude" - this statement was drilled into me so much if i had no character i'd be more lost than i am now.

Expecting truth honour and honesty from all relationships - apparently that's of a bygone era.

Expecting total commitment - seeing as everyone got pride and is scared of being hurt, there's always some form of holding back.

Unquestioning trust - do we really trust or do we constantly need proof?

Politicians:

have you watched The Obama Deception? he aint no saviour. Disappointed - but this one instance I can say I set myself up..how could i possibly expect him to bring any change..seriously?

The Coalition Goverment in Zimbabwe - like there would be any progress with Mugabe involved..smh

Ahmadinejad - one moment he speaks sense - the next he seems confused..

Movies and Music

The taking of Pelham 123 had Denzel and Travolta - disappointing.

Eminem's Relapse..dude..come on. Enough with the wierd voice..only works with a few tracks.

So do we need to lower our standards..or expectations? Do we need to give up the fight and accept mediocrity as fate - the road we were destined to take.

OR

Do we believe Impossible is nothing and that we create our own destiny. Go through the disappointments and hurt, syke up and get over it, and believe. Fight for it?

Do we dare stop dreaming and quit, give up hope and accept less than our set standards..less than we are willing to give?

The Perpetual Struggle

This was the title of my first "personal" blog. Ended up getting extremely vocal, bulldozing its way through whoever, bashing, arrogance, criticising, analysing, truth speak..well - lets just say there was too much truth, for some, flowing on the bog. SO i closed it, cancelled the blog, and refrained from blogging for a bit. I had stepped on a few toes and had now given up my "never say die" attitude - caring too much for the thought of others. I was a hypocrite there..trying to please everyone, taking criticism to heart. Now i realize one thing, that I've always known but had suppressed - why go out of your way to please those who, well, wont do the same for you. Why care if they think your "dress sense" is not cool enough, your girl is not pretty enough, you don't go out enough, you're too fat, you're too small, you're a drunk, your boy is not good enough, you need a car, your car is not good enough, now you're just showing off, you think you know too much, you're TOO QUIET..well the list is endless of the constant criticism we all receive day in day out. So why bother, if after you've done all you can to please em, they still find something else to criticise you for. Why accept things that aren't comfortable with you, when by accepting that you are doing nothing but being a phony, a fake, a hypocrite and attracting more criticism towards yourself.

You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

The realisation, or rebirth of this notion has sparked something within me that yearns more and more to be an individual..to be different. I have tried all this time to be different, but there has been times when i have bothered to conform just to make a few people happy/comfortable. But with new friends, old friend resurfacing, new books read..I can safely say i have people who care for me and love and appreciate me for the way i am..and especially for the way I am. I can stand on a pedestal, look uncool to the conforming public, but I know there is people who got my back..and I got theirs as well. Like Lupe said..we're LASERS! Who defined cool? Some will die chasing "The Cool" that is redefined with a new Soulja Boy track, Movado lyrics, JayZ's definition, or G-Unit clothing label. And what does life do-it goes on. How about redefining "the Cool" your own way, accepting that, and then focusing on much more important issues in life like the label on my shirt, or type of shoes i got (yes i know i love Adidas - solely cuz it ain't as cool as NIKE and em, and their "impossible is nothing" slogan lol).

So yes, the struggle does continue. In everyday life there is a perpetual struggle - for acceptance, to be different, change, love, peace...whatever it is you may be focused on and whatever it is you may find important, there is a struggle for that..even if it may seem to be laid on a silver platter (like how hard can it be to be uncool...ummm...REALLY hard trust me). There is struggle against the moral decay of society. The lack of respect to others solely for the fast they're human and they give you their respect. There is the struggle to always be right in whatever situation - look the bigger person.

What comes with the struggle is truth. No matter how many lies can be around..the truth always comes out..and in the end you do know who loves you and who does not. Winning the struggle comes in accepting mistakes and showing love and appreciation to those who respect, appreciate and love us. Realising that one conversation, no matter what the circumstances or distance - could be an eye opener, you could be inspired..and you could meet people who bound to stay and make a difference, or who are there to make a difference and disappear, closed doors could be reopened...a lot of change. it is all for a reason, and we should be thankful. Life gives for a reason and takes for a reason. Appreciate what you have, don't complain too much cuz the struggle will never stop.

So my past blog, The Perpetual Struggle, has been removed from the databases and can never resurface, but i have a new platform to speak my mind. I have found re-discovered my reason, my goals, who I wanna be, and who I want around me. And for that, I have people to thank. I reach out to you and hope you hear me, understand me, and understand the love and respect that has grown. So thank you for the difference you've made, and I hope you're here to stay.

The Law of the little shovel

Came across this post on Seth Godin's Blog.

The concept : If you want to dig a big hole, you need to stay in one place.

If you walk around town with a little shovel, you'll just end up digging thousands of little holes, not one big one.

Call on one person ten times and you might make the sale. Call on ten people once each and you will likely get ten rejections.

The important thing to remember is that separate events are often separate. If you use the same ineffective approach on one thousand people, it's not going to start working better just because you use it more often.

Connected events, on the other hand, often benefit from frequency and trust.

Which leads to two viable strategies:
1. If you can stay still, stay still. Earn the trust, earn the sale by repeatedly demonstrating value and authority.

2. If you can't stay still, get a bigger shovel. Your marketing and your sales pitch has to be so refined and focused that it works the first time, because you don't get a second time.

Something to think about. Its all about taking life's lessons and learning from mistakes, perfecting the art, not running and hoping to get lucky.

Sunday Jazz - Terri Shaltiel

So last night, Sunday, I went to my first live jazz show since I been here. Hadn't found any places, probably cuz maybe i was focused on other things and not really looking for a good chill place. Terri Shaltiel and Jon Taylor were playing.

I must admit, the lady is talented. The venue was probably the worst "club", "lounge", or whatever you can call it i have ever been to - EVER - but the music was beautiful. And the people there - simple people, wasn't too full, so met everybody, and what was inspiring was how people with very little treasure their moments and can give you such a beautiful evening. No fancy dress to impress themes were up - the musicians were talking to the public, the promoter was some lady who owns the Inn, and the mood in the place was just too good. Makes one realise how grateful we should be for the things we have. There are some out there who have less, but are embracing that, loving life, doing something about it instead of mourning about how unfortunate they are - impossible is nothing. She (Terri) performed with Amy Winehouse before - the humility in the voice as she spoke - no trying to be the "superstar" - but once the drums started going, the keyboard flowing, the base guitar, and Jon Taylor on the sax...there was no doubting how much of a superstar she could be. The lady is blessed, and yes, the lady can sing.

I may have doubts about going back to that place (unless Terri is back of course), but it was a lesson learnt. Love life, love those who love you, and be appreciative. Do not take anything for granted - and whatever you may be going through - someone else is going through worse.

Everything happens for a reason

Everyday experiences open our eyes to new realities, and sometimes its a reality we dont wanna face. It aint always easy accepting the situation as it is. The secret lies in thinking about

tomorrow. So many of us, most if not all, have embrace the pain brought by life's disappointments, and have wasted valid time crying over spilt milk and failing to realise the situation as a lesson. One of my favourite tracks is a song by Joe Budden..no it's not pump it up, lol, called "For a reason"...

to quote the master

"...if I never got stabbed, wouldn't remember Veronica's wrath

Standing in the shower looking at the scab

I wouldn't know the hints of a stick-up kid

If I ain't have that short stint as a stick-up kid

If dude never tried to kill me, I mighta went numb

To all the bullshit that goes on where I'm from

And if I never went to jail, wouldn't needed a bail

Woulda probly went on to graduate from Yale

Woulda been a prosecutor standing in the court of law

But then that goes against everything he stands for

And if I never met Glo, how would I really know

All the shit that comes with, when you dealing with a ho

See it is what it is to be

Or it is what it is, at least that's what it is to me

And so if I could ever go back in history

I wouldn't change shit, I'd leave it all just to be..."

(OR lEAVE IT ALL TO KARMA ha ha ha)

Its life's situations that teach us, and as long as we take everything as a lesson, and with a deeper meaning like it has, then we can have a life with less stress and more appreciation of the things we have. I especially love the line "If I never met Glo, how would I really know, All the shit that comes with when you dealing with a whore"...Situations arise and events happen, that teach you..Become a better judge of character, be able to read the sings, when Cumulonimbus clouds are up, chances are it will rain - if you never been rained on after a bout of cumulonimbus clouds, then you never know, but once you get rained on, you know. So next time you see cumulonimbus clouds (meet another Glo), you run and realise its about to rain..instead of catching an umbrella, the wind might blow that away...

So no matter what you happens today, tomorrow i s a brighter day. You are wiser, you have been exposed to new situations and new circumstances and the reason behind the mishap is coming, it's all about patience, acceptance and appreciation. Its alright to shed a tear (well, maybe not for me tho lol), but long as you realise that tomorrow is a brighter day cuz of today's mishaps.

Morphing Michael Jackson

Seeing as Michael Jackson is the hot topic right now, during my daily blogging routines I came across this video posted on some blog. Something to think about huh. Look at the transition..

So yea, what you think..Scarry huh..

One day at a time

Okay..so originally this post is supposed to be about people who touched my life (thanx Shan - another one of those who have :-) )..but i then decided some people wouldnt want to be mentioned on the www (am one of those paranoid about stalk mentality (omg this brings back memories lol) and i got a blog..how bwt them that dont lol )..So i'm just taking it "one day at a time"..

Everyone goes through changes. And do you realize how much the present contradicts with "our plans" and the things we hope to achieve, the achievements, the bubblegum stuff (fake things like cars, clothes and all), the relationships, friendships, family.

I must admit, i been one like that myself..though my biggest flaw has been believing in people too much (dunno if imma change that tho cuz i hate prejudice more than anything so i kinda give everyone chance to prove themselves like i want to be given a chance to prove myself instead of just being labelled "typica dude"). It takes just one moment - couple words, blog idea, an inspired encounter, a confrontation, a whatever moment (sometimes you juss gotta lift your head up and say "f*** it"),..so many thing..to bring the realisation that life is too short and we should take it as it comes and do what we have to with what is presented.

you meet fake people, you meet real people, friends and fam got your back, friends and fam stab you in the back(victim - damn!), you get fired, you get anew job, dump or get dumped, get into a new relationship, fall pregnant - all these are situations that give you an option - A fresh start and a new presentation of who you are and seeing as "everything happens for a reason"..have you learnt from the reason behind the "happening"..or are you still focused on the grand plan you have had for the past few and been tweaking everything to fit into the plan just to make sure it works..

take it one day at a time. Be focused on what you want, but not so narrow minded as to forget that each moment deserves its moment to pass and be acknowledged, else it'll be something you'll regret forever.

One day at a time, hoping tomorrow brings a brighter moment..

got the smile on still :-)

Good Jazz! Sipho Gumede - Gabriel's Garden

Had to share on of my favourite Jazz tracks (well, there's hundreds I love really lol), but here's what I'm listening to at the moment..Sipho Gumede, South African jazz musician.

Mood music huh? I remember my first encounter with Jazz was more of it being forced on me at an early age, but i think maybe just the first two instances are the only times I felt forced to listen to it. I fell in love immediately. Jazz and Phil Collins (back in those days the Jazz was Early Klugh, the likes of Wishful Thinking, Calypso Getaway and Tropical Legs). I admit, had it not been for those early musical experiences, I'd probably be krazy about 50Sense(lol), dancehall ( I appreciate it, just not mad about it..I don't get the message..its too shallow for me), Soulja Boy and the rest of them fake musicians out there...

So some say i act too old for my age, some say I'm boring(lol), some say I'm too serious (well, life takes me seriously too)....I say I appreciate the things in life most people neglect..like the origins of all music - Jazz (or the Blues as it was known back in the day).

Hope you enjoyed the track...

Another Sunday, and another Cup won by Brazil - Confederations Cup 2009

Sunday. Back from work. Just watched a brilliant game of football/soccer. Brazil v USA confederations Cup final. What a game. The USA led 2-nil at half time, and Brazil came back to win 3-2, and had a good second half compared to the first half. I must confess, i started writing this the moment Brazil scored the 3rd goal..almost got a fright and moments of pressing delete

when Onyewu headed just over from a corner. But yes, the game still going on and only a few minutes left - was secretly hoping for extra time because this has been a lovely game...(as i watch Dani Alves crack a shot WAAAAYYY OOVEEERRRRRRRR lol

But yes, that has been another typical Sunday..bottle of wine, good football and Jazz to take over after the match(which has just ended by the way). Disappointed I never got to see Pato play in the tourney but well, justified since Brazil just won it. Well done (yes i know Spain is out..but remember..no team that has won the Confederations Cup has won the World Cup by the way..so come on Torres - am a Liverpool fan for yall who don't know..and yes - A BIG ONE lol).

Had a good day..reflecting on the the beauty of life and appreciating the things I have and the how lucky I am. I must admit lately i been fussing about unnecessary things, stressing about unnecessary things..only to have a wake up call - an eye opener - a realisation that someone somewhere is going through worse - (watching the Brazil team praying on the pitch with the "i love Jesus" and "I belong to Jesus" t-shirts on..beautiful scenes....).

Anyhow, as I was saying before, sometimes we just need to sit and appreciate the things we have - the little things. There is always hope that something wonderful is on the brink of springing up from beneath the surface. Ambition Over Adversity like Tupac said..

"Take one's adversity

Learn from their misfortune

Learn from their pain

Believe in something

Believe in yourself

Turn adversity into ambition

Now blossom into wealth"

Remember - you create your own Universe. Everything comes from you. Scream to the universe - "I AM HERE" and let your presence be know. And it all starts with being grateful and appreciating..hope and belief in times of stress..and remember - someone is going through worse..be grateful for the things you have.

Keep smiling

See the number of frowns that grace the streets. The sad faces, some understandably, and some will, just unnecessary tantrums. Imagine what effect you would have on the next person by simply smiling. Somehow this effortless act seems to have such deep impacts as to even completely changing a life. When you smile, willingly or not, try and focus on the feeling you get from deep within. it's like something inside is opened up and good thoughts and feelings take over. You ask yourself subconsciously - Why am I smiling. Immediately followed by the answers that bring realisation into the things we should be grateful for and appreciate...

Food to eat. Roof over you head. People who love you. People you love. The sunshine. The birds chirping (long as it ain't 4am in the morning and you've just got in after a night out lol). There is a million things we can appreciate each day, and by smiling we have an inner-joy that is shown by how we treat the people around us - RESPECTFULLY, we tend to be more polite as well, level of patience grows...and by that we can make another person smile as well...and therefore the chain will continue.

Just imagine a place where everyone is respectfully towards each other, polite, patient, loving, appreciative. All because you smiled. When you wake up in the morning, it's always to remind yourself that Life is beautiful. Everything comes from you...you create your own universe. What kind of universe will you create with a smile on, as compared to one completely opposite.

Smile today, for tomorrow's smile depends on it.

Day One - R.I.P Michael Jackson

So, I have decided to start another blog. Again lol. Seems I'm so caught up in this virtual world I simply cannot resist the temptation to introduce something new. Oh well, I guess its allowed, seeing the number of free services, ideas going around and the emergence of new things to talk about everyday (any retard could have figured that one out). So what am I on about this time?

Well, this could get a bit personal with time, but for now its just about everyday life and things every other person goes through. meeting new people, experiencing new things, emotions (eeekk), going new places, highs and lows, happy days, disappointments, anger, complaints, appreciation...well the lot really - maybe a clip or two from the news desk and from my music catalogue. I haven’t really had the chance to rant a rave about much lately, seeing as the death of Michael Jackson seems to have taken over the virtual world as well as our everyday lives and television sets too. Jumping onto the bandwagon......

I never met him, but growing up he was my childhood hero - I haven't met anyone from my age group who wouldn’t go shopping for trousers two sizes too small so they could reveal the white socks..And the white glove..Yes the white glove - mandatory fashion accessory for an infant back in the 80's or early 90's. So yes you've figured it out, I’m an eighties kid. Anyhow, I remember mastering the moonwalk at an early age - didn’t we all think we were "smooth Criminals" - and I learned it so well it’s still stuck in me till today..helped of course by my high school years when we had our moonwalk version code-named "SLAM" to make it sound more funky/cool/whatever identity we were trying to portray in those days (good days though). Bad was the theme song...and after a dance session always end with the kick and shout "who's Bad"..lmao. And there was Thriller. For some odd reason (well not so odd now), I grew up believing it was a movie (well you can say it was). Now i know why, with the attention span of a 5year old (when I did eventually see the clip) why i believed it to be a movie. Gosh that was one long music video..And boy was/is it brilliant. That is undoubtedly the greatest music video of all time, and my first experience with "Horror movies" before being introduced to the mind blowing Friday the 13th series.

Getting a bit older, Jam took over; with its hip-hop tempo I can see when my love for hip-hop came. Black or White, Heal the World, Remember the Time, Give it to Me. Singing along, mastering the lyrics, and the dance moves. Stuck to the tellie just so I could show off the dance moves to my friends, convinced I was the coolest MJ fan and the best dancer as well. They were good days I must say.

Earth Song. They don’t care about us. Every time I’m on youtube past couple days and watching an MJ video, there has been 20 others watching the same video at the same time. No wonder why google news and Wikipedia crushed for a moment after his death. The man was a legend.

That said, he was never far from controversy. From the plastic surgery, baby dangling antics, lil boy accusations..Well..The lot. And that seemed to be all some lil boys and gals know of the man, or would like to remember of the man. Understandably when they were introduced to the wonderful world of Wacko Jacko, he may have been in the limelight for the wrong reasons. That does not however give anyone a reasons to update facebook statuses with junk and tweet pathetic words. Let the man rest in peace – black or white – this world was too much for him now.

So yes, the fairytale with the King of Pop has finally come to a screeching halt, as did the fairytale with the Princess of the World, Princess Diana (though that seemed more of a conspiracy than that of the MJ’s doctor secretly poisoning him with prescription pills). And that has taken over my first blog post.

Well, I’ll be back shortly, maybe with a totally different idea from the sad and somber one that’s I’ve just dropped. Maybe I’ll spread the smile idea from Cleo’s Diary.

Hello and Goodbye…nice to meet you.
