Hello world... Spent time with God 2 nights ago. I think that maybe I need to get my head examined!!! Lets put it this way... If you put a big serving of chicken chop in front of a hungry man, what does he do? He'll probably down the whole thing in 30 seconds flat... (Trust me, I've seen Shen do it... :P) Let me give another example... If you see a drowning man and you throw him a life buoy or something, will he not desperately grab at it? Now under what circumstances will both men refuse the help offered to them? I can only think of 3 cases where that would happen...
1) The man is blind
2) The man is stupid or crazy
3) The man is too proud
4) The man doesn't like Chicken Chop

Okay... I'm kidding about the Chicken Chop. Now lets see here... I know I need help and I know how to get help... So that would mean that I'm neither blind nor stupid or crazy... So by elimination, that would leave me with being too proud to ask or accept the help. Thank God that forgiveness doesn't require some intense ritual... I'll be doing it 24/7 if that was the case.

Watched 'X-men 2' just now... Quite nice effects. The effects were similar to 'The Matrix: Reloaded' but not as good... quite a simple storyline... Didn't require much thinking. This is my 2nd movie in a week... I'd watched 'Darkness Falls' on Sunday... Played on childish fears of the dark.

I've been enjoying spending time with close friends lately... Just hanging out anywhere talking about anything or anyone. I think the idea about having friends is you get to be yourself and find out more about others and yourself as well...

The Fox and the Grapes


One hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my thirst," quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure they are sour."


It is easy to despise what you cannot get.
