Chistmas

Tis the season to full belly… and boy did I do just that

Christian Lifestyle

So I went home, and I am very glad I did, I love my parents and didn’t realize until I walked through the front door, just how much I missed

them. Ah well…

Of course I went to church on Sunday and the message brought home to me why my parents are the way they are. Fore my parents their Christian

walk influence every area of their lives, certain music and shows are not allowed in the house, family devotions are a regular events. At

times I used to feel stifled by all this “God talk” and would love to “escape” back to Kingston where God or even religion for that matter

was rarely ever mentioned. But alas My short stint home allowed me to see that Ideally ones Christian walk should be like this.. God should

permeate through every part of you life… not really to show off on other ppl or to rub it in their faces… but it is to help you keep you

focused. The constant speaking of the word helps to remind yourself what’s important in your life….. hmmmm much to think on there….

In any case my initial reaction to ppl who talk like that is to stray away, but now I ask myself why… If they wish to live their life as such

it is there choice and why is it I assume that they are trying to cram God down my throat? Ok ok so sometimes they are.

Recently in a talk with SE I realized that I didn’t like the Idea of joining a church because I didn’t want to be judged every time I went in

a on a Sunday. Immediately I asked myself if this was due to the fact I had something to hide or was I doing something I knew was not

appropriate for someone who claims to be a Christian… I tell myself this is not the case and that I just don’t like the Idea of being judged

but am I really being honest?

Tuff Question, in either case I still don’t want to join a church.

Its Easy Not To

For some reason that Alanis Song has been replaying in my head over and over all week. Like I said in a previous blog, this song defines my attitude to life alot more than it should. I do try to not let this mindset dictate how I live my life yet at times I find it hard. I just love the path of least resistance… wether or not that is the best path is another question.

Oh Soooooo true

THE THINGS PEOPLE NEVER TOLD YOU ABOUT UWI:
Your bookstore bill will almost equal tuition.

Squirt guns = Stress relief.

txt messaging becomes an addiction.

You never realized that so many people were smarter than you.

Procrastination is an art form.

The health service nurses are there because they couldn’t make it at a real hospital. Never, ever forget that.

Campus is only clean for Family Weekend and Freshman Orientation.

Classes… the later the better.

Jeans may be worn as many times as the wearer desires.

The only time to dress up is when your jeans are dirty.

Showers become less important; sleep becomes more important.

Asleep by 2:30 am is an early night.

Dishes smell after days of piling up.

You will eat anything that is free.

New additions to food groups: KFC and Doubles.

Stealing from NEwhere will become second nature.

1 meal per day is the standard

Going to the mailbox was never an ego booster/breaker before

ATM’s are the devils advocate. ATM = Another Twenty Missing.

Keys have never been so important, yet you seem to lose them or lock yourself out of the room even more.

If they say you can’t have it in your apt, they are just kiddin

You will begin to negotiate with God even if you have doubted existence in the past…”Please God, if you let me pass this final, I’ll never drink again!”

Everyone is only nice for the first week. After that, no matter how nice you are, some people just won’t smile back. Get used to it.

You are never alone!

You realize college is the ideal life! style, except for those pesky classes

YOU KNOW YOU’VE BEEN IN UWI TOO LONG WHEN…

Two miles is not too far to walk for a party.

You’d rather clean than study.

“Oh man how did it get so late!” comes out of your mouth at least once a night.

Mom’s leftovers from Sunday lunch become something you desire, not avoid.

Half the time you don’t wake up in your own bed and it seems normal.

You schedule your classes around sleep habits and soap operas.

You know the veg out and KFC ppl by name.

You go to sleep when it’s light and get up when it’s dark.

Prank anything become funny again.

You start thinking and sounding like your roommate

Rearranging your room is your favorite pastime.

The weekend lasts from Monday to Sunday.

BEFORE I CAME TO UWI, I WISH I HAD KNOWN…

That it didn’t matter how late I scheduled my first class, I’d still sleep through it.

That I could change so much and barely realize it

That you can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways.

No matter how ‘cool’ you were in high school, no one here cares.

That if you wear polyester everyone will ask why you are so dressed up.

That every clock on campus shows a different time.

That if you were smart in high school, so what? It doesn’t matter here.

That I would go to a party the night before a final.

That you can know everything and fail a test.

That you can know nothing and ace a test.

That I could get used to almost anything found out about my roommate.

That most of my education would be obtained outside of class.

That friendship is more than getting drunk together.

That I would be one of those people that my parents warned me about

Deja Vu starring Denzel Washington

Ok so last night I went to see the movie Deja Vu. Now let me begin by saying that I have always thought that Denzel Washington is one of the greatest actors ever. I however was never really fond of his movies because he usually stuck to dramas.
In recent times he has moved away from this to action/thriller Type movies…. believe me the man Is spectacular. The cool thing about him is that he still has that…’Thing’… whatever it is .. That made him such a great actor for drama.. Adding that element to action movies makes him a human hero.. One that the audience can identify with or even aspire to…. I cannot begin to describe how much I rate this guys acting in action movies.
The first movie I saw with him in a action Role was Training day…… The Movie was BAD!!! WICKED!!! HYPE!!! one of the best movies I have ever!!! watched. You know what made the difference? Though the entire movie in ways was new, it still followed the usual cop movie stereotype… A decent but not particularly remarkable story. Enter in Denzel Washington…. words cannot describe how this man MADE the movie what it was… Denzel as a bad guy… AMAZING to say the least…
Then comes Man on fire……… No words needed here.
All in all Denzel is the greatest action/thriller/thinker movie hero that I have ever witnessed on a screen. I have seen no one and I mean NO ONE else humanize every single character he plays as well as he has…Denzel Washington right now shares the spot for my favorite actor with Will Smith. That man is simply AWSOME.

But I digress…

What I came to write about was déjà vu…
The Movie was DA BOMB!!!!! It just screws with your mind on an astrophysical level. I mean at the and of the movie there are as many questions as there are answers and you and you want laugh and cry, torn between shooting the writers and Praising them and the producers for creating a movie that has thoroughly run roughshod over you mind. To be honest the movie tackles a very theoretical area with and does not try to explain much. The writers just did what they wanted and left you to rationalize what happened. (shakes head)
All in all, just a tuff movie. I would write more but I figure not every one has seen it yet so that will have to wait for another Blog.  I will say however the moivie raises question about us ‘playing god’.
