Right! You guys ever wanted to just come up with a completely different alias?
Well this site is “For anyone who’s ever wished he could take on an entirely new persona after an embarrassing night on the town.”
FakeNameGenerator.comLOL … I did it, and my name is:
Ida R. Childers and I live at 1101 Woodridge Lane, Memphis, TN 38115Last weekend I was back in Preston for a friends (well two friends!) wedding, which was a great opportunity to catch up with lots of people. Also though, I found it really weird to be back in Preston. Preston was “home” to me for three years and I’ve now not lived there for nearly as long, so as the train was going through Preston and I saw my old lecture halls, my old flat and places once so familiar I got to thinking about how much I have changed and how I am not the same person that left Preston (which is a good thing!)
Seeing places evoked memories (good and bad) and the more I saw and thought, the more I realised that God has been changing me and as much as I didn’t want my time at uni and CU and church there to end, I’m really glad it did!
Maybe the above doesn’t make any sense to anyone else . . . sorry!
Also, found this video (through some facebooks statuses!) which kinda underlines the above! When I was on UClan CU committee, I grew to having some of these convictions but wouldn’t have verbalised them like this, or held them so strongly. It’s so great to see that the CU has grown in boldness and is totally set on the vision on “Living for Jesus and Speaking for Jesus” on their campus with a passion that is so strong!
How great is God!?
I haven’t posted in ages because I’ve been in one of those periods where everything seems grey and not worth doing. Eventually you just need to kick yourself in the ass, pick yourself up by the scruff of your neck (or whatever cliché fits your fancy) and stop moaning about everything. So here I am.
Thanksgiving was a bit sad, as it always is when I’m not in the US – it’s just a normal work day here. It’s always been one of my favourite holidays since it’s one of the less commercial holidays. Thanksgiving is about family and huge meals and being thankful for all of the blessings in our life. And you know what? To be fair, each one of us is showered with blessings. Unless something of cataclysmic proportions has happened in your life, you probably have a home and family and friends who l0ve you, and that’s enough sometimes.
I’ve mainly been watching movies or reading at night, not much gaming to speak of. I’m a bit burned out in Warcraft right now, which may be partially to do with trying to level a paladin to 80. She’s mid-sixties now, and it’s just…sooooo…sloooow. Maybe it’s me, I’m probably totally playing her wrong, but god does she take a long time to kill something.
I’ve never been a big console gamer due to my motion sickness, and also a preference for MMOs. But I think what I want to do over the holidays is revisit some old games, and play some new ones:
1. Bioshock. This was a game that I was really, really excited about since the creative was so gorgeous. I watched several people play through a portion of it, but never delved in on my own. I was raiding pretty hardcore at the time, and so I just passed on it.
2. Dragon Age. During my recent meh phase, I haven’t played much. I want to finish this game.
3. Assassin’s Creed II – it’s on my Christmas list.
4. Batman: Arkham Asylum. We’ve got it for the PC, and I haven’t played it yet.
One last random bit of fluff – I just found a link for this trailer, and I am really looking forward to this making it to Europe. (Although every time I see the word “SyFy” I want to punch someone in the manbits.) Anyway, this has potential, and Tin Man was watchable if not wonderful.
Tiger,
What on earth were you thinking? You had absolutely everything. A hot Swedish ex-model bombshell of a wife, your own private jet, Steve Williams as your caddy, a billion dollars, 14 major championships and you’re probably hung like a donkey. Guys would kill to get what you have and that’s without even mentioning your short game. You are one of very few people that has cheated on your spouse (of whom has two of your children) before cheating at golf. Shame on you. At least all three (and still counting) appear to be hot…

When you spend your whole life in search of something that you know will never come, you must ask yourself: What is the real issue? I have spent years looking for that one thing or that one person to fulfill me and never found it. I am being told that only “YOU” can make yourself happy, “YOU” are supposed to fulfill yourself with joy and happiness. But what happens when you cannot find any happiness or when you do find it and it keeps disappearing out of your life?
It’s like a roller coaster ride that won’t stop or go away, its like feel sick to your stomach 24/7, like the waves of the ocean that never subside. The roaring thunder and bolts of lightning shattering every path it crosses. This evil feeling of knowing you cannot and will not be in your happy place ever again. What it boils down to; “TRUST”.
Trusting people is a very difficult thing, especially trusting yourself. Having a controlled feeling like that is merely impossible. I have never trusted people; ever. The people who have come and gone from my life have all been given so many chances and lost my trust because they have burned my inner soul. I know that is why I feel good one minute and the next I don’t. Just as I let people into my life and feel good about something, they let me down and I can’t help but wonder why I let them do this. In my opinion I really believe we should not interact with anyone then there is no fear of rejection, no fear of living up to one’s expectations, no fear of worrying that you will get shot down for being yourself and certainly not worry about trusting people. At least if you are by yourself, you only have yourself to work on; you may become a victim of self-destruction, but you certainly do not have to answer for your feelings.
Trust that you can face your enemies head on, especially the enemy that lives within you. Be yourself, say how you feel and what you mean. Don’t worry that someone is going to shut down that very good in you and certainly try to find the one thing that will bring you back from your lost soul. Talk to yourself, reach that very part you hate looking for. And even if it rips your heart out, keep doing it until you have nothing left to dish out.
He’s teaching her arithmetic,
He said it was his mission,
He kissed her once, he kissed her twice
And said now that’s addition,
And as he added smack by smack,
In silent satisfaction,
She sweetly kissed him back,
And said now that’s subtraction,
Then he kissed her ‘n she kissed him,
Without an explanation,
And both together smiled and said.
That’s multiplication,
Then dad arrived upon the scene,
And made a quick decision,
He kicked the kid three blocks away,
And said that’s long division.
I DID NOT WRITE THIS, I FOUND IT LONG AGO AND DECIDED TO POST IT AGAIN/ FUNNY, HUH?
