Evolving Cartoons...

I was attempting to watch some cartoons and I turned to Cartoon network. It must be that kids are more sophisticated these days. Cause as simple as it seemed, Sponge Bob was very complex and the humor was geared towards adults. They were dealing with psychological behavior of Patrick the starfish which was Sponge Bob's friend.

I was thinking, do kids really understand this humor?

But then again kids are much smarter than one thinks...

Me? May be I was the dumb one. Cause I laughed everytime at the same jokes.. That is actually why I think I am very simple minded. I was trained that way since I was a child. Wyle E. Coyote was getting assed out everytime to road runner. Everytime it is some Acme products that fails. Everytime the coyotes falls down the canyon. And it is still entertaining everytime.

They certainly don't make cartoons like these anymore. Maybe kids will be more quick to undertand thing as they get older. May be they will be more imaginative than I was.

But if you ask me, my cartoons were so much better than cartoons now. Things get better and better all the time. May be except for cartoons for kids... Maybe not...

Well aba dee aba dee aba dee, that's all folks

Muppets.


I was watching "waking life" the other day and the question of free will vs. predstinations came up.

Basically I say this because I was reading the bible the otherday at Da Bucks and some randome dude came up to me and asked me which church I attended.

Than the flood gates opened when I told him i went to a reformed church. He was bashing reformed theology and concept of predestination...

I told him that I did not really care to think weather he was right or wrong... cause it was not the saving knowledge...

Than he apologized for geeting too passionate and said, "I just don't want to be a muppet who can't think for himslef".

Well I just smiled and he left.

A muppet for God...

What pride... To think that he wouldn't want to be anything else but a muppet for God.. That is all I want to be and fail to become.

To think that he rather be a random thought by himself than a small part of a grand scheme of things...

I went to da Laker Game last night...

As I was sitting there and watching the Super Sonics dismantle my beloved Lakers, I realized that I missed Shaq...

Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, and.... now.... Chris Mihm.

Oh it wasn't pretty.

But unlike a fair weather fan, I rooted for Da Lakers...

They need a Big man. They needed somethin'.

Yeah depressing. Oh well...

On a bright note, I went to that place in Long Beach called Aquarium of the Pacific on Sunday. Not only did they have wonderful sea creatures, but they had animals there too.

Like birds


And to my surprise Baboons!

Thoughts...


Rest was very needed... I was so damn tired last couple of days. So I slept more hours than some of my usual two days. Yup I was tired. It feels pretty refreshing sleeping like this.

I've been bogged down with many thoughts lately. I see more and more how desperately we are in need of Da Lord. I have been growing. I can feel it. I can see that I need to be more involved with people's lives. I can see how I need to lead Lisa better. I can see how I need to just be a better person. I can see how I need to do lots of things better. I can see how I need to chill out at times.

But mostly, I can see how God can make all things possible. I just see it. Its strange. But God has been working in me and it really hasn't been me at all. So many things have gone south in my life and even lately. But some how I can feel His presence in all things that don't go well either.

I realize that I am one of those clowns that need to be tought a lesson in life in order to learn. Aparently, I am not the only one. Lord has granted me my prayers and at times, I wished that He hadn't. I am just a sinner.

So be careful what you ask for... You might just get it.

And remember, be thankful in all situations and never be discontent about your current sutuation. Cause it can always get worse. And when it does, Don't forget that Da Lord is in control.

Moment of Emptiness

(Home Depot Center before DA BIG GAME)

So being kinda free from ma ladies, I thought fo sho it was gonna be a easy weekend. Full of relaxin'.... It turned out quite the opposite...

So many people are unhappy. They make stupid and senseless mistakes. I talked with many friends over the weekend and realized that so many us of have some serious problems. There are dramas that are self mutilating and others that are just situational.

But problems are problems. I feel that most of the problems that we get ourselves into, comes from feeling empty inside. And to fill that void, we do the things that we do that we know that we will regret later.

It all comes to that moment. That moment that we are tempted to do things and in that moment, you can come out like a champ or come out like a chump. All mistakes happen in that moment, when you let your virtue and wisdom go. Well... It would be great if we can get away with it, but there are always consequences.

We struggle and lose because we are just stupid beings. Well, if there ever was a time to get closer to Da Lord, it is when you are down and out. When you can't get any lower than you already have. Character is built when we hit rock bottom. But its a vicious cycle isn't it? Cause just when you think its better, we get tempted again... Or you get tempted with a different prob.

Next time you have that moment of critical decision, choose wisely. If you can't, let the Big G choose for you. Fill your emptiness with understanding given to us by Da Lord. Don't surrender to your vices... Instead surrender to Da Lord...
