Obama

At last You have won. Don't forget the counsel of the sages, the wisdom of the ancients and the beats of our time. You stand tall and tell the world what to do. Sure man, you are made now. But use the best minds to get the best results.
It does not matter whether they are on your party or from the opposition. Go on and employ the best hands, and do a 'never done before job' Get my sense? Good. Listen to the voice of the oppressed and the voice of the oppressors. None of them is right but put the two together to get a balance. Cheers man and play the man.

Obama must read this

Obama Obama Obama! How many times did I call you? Three. Good. The voice of elders is the voice of wisdom. Down in the hills of Africa where I eke out a living in my old old age, I heard you are running for the presidency in far away God's own country. I recieved it with mixed feelings. The oracle of our fathers portends grave dangers. I know you have the heart of still. After all, black is steelly and steel is black.

If Reagan of the eighties was attempted. You know what I mean and Kennedy, was and Lincoln was, what do you think you are doing? Be very very careful. Hei! I fear for you! I know you have the skin of a black man but the mindset of a white man. Well let's see. May be a combination of both the brain and might may be the unbeatable formula putting "God's own Country" back in good reckoning in the committee of nations.

If you must rule, son, mind the dark coloured man near you. He's the one that would be used to get you down. I hope you have time to read this. Do you know that blacks are their greatest adversaries not whites. I'll continue the oracle talk 2morrow. watch out!

relationship

Breaking up with someone you love can be one of the toughest emotional struggles you’ll go through. How have you handled breakups in the past? What can you do to minimize pain for the other person and yourself?

I’ve been on quite an emotional ride recently. What has been weighing heavily on my heart and mind involves a slice from my personal life. Without going into details, Adam, my partner for the past year, and I have decided to part ways. We will remain good friends.

The past three weeks have been a tremendously painful period, feelings of empathy mixed with remorse and guilt. The impulse to burst into tears would hit me sporadically throughout the day.

When I first wrote about the art of keeping a relationship, my friend Pete Forde suggested that perhaps people could also benefit from an article on how to end a relationship. I noted his brilliant suggestion without further thought. Little did I know, this would become the center of my experience a month later.

This being a sensitive topic, I had a tough time finding genuine and in-depth resources online. My goal here is to capture the understanding and wisdom I’ve gained from going through this event, and to perhaps be of help or a point of clarity for your life story.

Feel free to add points that I’ve missed in the comment section. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Story telling

New Twists on Old Tales


The brothers Grimm wrote over 200 fairy tales and documented more than 500 folklore legends in the 1800's. While many like Cinderella and Rapunzel are well known, quite a few tales are not. Tales like Fitcher's Bird are quite gruesome. The German folklore they recorded are much like today's urban legends. The origin of the term "fairy tales" comes from Marie-Catherine Le Jumel de Barneville, Baronne d'Aulnoy, a french writer who termed her work "contes de fée".

Fairy tales and urban legends are told in every part of the world. These stories, told over and over, continue to be inspiration to new authors. William Shakespeare's King Lear and Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales are considered to be variations of old tales. Hans Christian Andersen continued the tradition of drawing on old tales to create something new. George MacDonald also used parts of tales to create his fantasy writing.

So if you're looking for some reading to inspire a new tale from your pen, try reading some fairy tales. But please, read them first before indulging a bedtime story for your children. Or it may be a very long night...

the auction

THE AUCTION

The upstate NY man was rich in almost every way. His estate was worth millions. He owned houses, land, antiques and cattle. But though on the outside he had it all, he was very unhappy on the inside. His wife was growing old, and the couple was childless. He had always wanted a little boy to carry on the family legacy.

Miraculously, his wife became pregnant in her later years, and she gave birth to a little boy. The boy was severely handicapped, but the man loved him with his whole heart. When the boy was five, his mom died. The dad drew closer to his special son. At age 13, the boys's birth defects cost him his life and the father died soon after from a broken heart.

The estate was auctioned before hundreds of bidders. The first item offered was a painting of the the boy. No one bid. They waited like vultures for the riches. Finally, the poor housemaid, who helped raise the boy, offered $5 for the picture and easily took the bid.

To every-one's shock, the auctioneer ripped a hand written will from the back of the picture. This is what it said: "To the person who thinks enough of my son to buy this painting, to this person I give my entire estate." The auction was over. The greedy crowd walked away in shock and dismay.

How many of us have sought after what we thought were true riches only to find out later that our Father was prepared to give us His entire estate if we had only sought after His Son alone?

friends quarrel

Life is full of changes. perspectives differ. Best friends sometimes quarrel but what makes them best of friends is when they quarrel they settle amicably. well I had a my best friend. I was so pained that I did not want to talk about it. however, knowing that sometimes perspectives differ on contentious issues I did talk it over and saw no need to be angry with her any longer. we settled it and i was glad.
A friend loves at all times but a good wife is born for adversity. (paraphrased Scripture)
Don't lose your old friends for they are more reliable than new ones. Make new friends, they may be your connect to the other side. see ya soon!
