A Post for the New Years...

A slow night with friends turned into a crazy New Years It started with a few friends sitting around the dinner table talking over the last year and how much we had enjoyed all of our friendships...

The drinking and late night starts to settle in as more and more people shuffle through the door...

Next thing I know is that two of my best friends are boxing in the dining room, I walk in to see hows its coming along... and one of them face plants right into the ironing board, leaving him infuriated, throwing punches in every direction. The other is taking punches and apologizing at the same time, very humorous if you ask me...

Another friend in the living room has drank way to much and somehow always ends up talking about how many women he has in his life and how everyone thinks he's a player... He makes me sick sometimes...

In the kitchen is some of my roommates friends, Douche bags if you ask me, alcoholics calling me a fag and some how last time they were over ended up sleeping in my room... Nothing like waking up to strangers sleeping on your floor...

The creeper makes his way from room to room preying on the ladies at my house Some guys just don't know how to act...

All in all it was a nice night, some of my best friends were there and I couldn't ask for much more.

Maybe next time we'll just have a tea party...

A Christmas Eve Story...

A late night, later than the usual
Filled with whiskey and scotch
More than should be allowed
A night like this requires a bit more
Camels and Marlboros go up in smoke
Speech of death and despair leaves his lips
My ears are open, mouth closed
Pushing back tears, and searching for the words
Words of love and comfort
I cannot find...

I leave him with nothing...

Alike?

So over the last couple days I have heard a lot of " Yada Yada Yada We're a lot alike"... And I'm not necessarily sure they are people I want to be "like"... Just wondering If I am, What I think I am...

New Hope...

Hello Everyone,
I hate woman... Haha Kidding, Ok if you were at New Hope on Sunday morning I'd like to clear the air just a tad... I don't hate ladies nor do I want them to be so called "Oppressed"... Dave said that I told him that I didn't like the idea of woman "empowering each other and rising up" or something to that effect... Yes I did say those words but they were out of context, I was talking to Dave about woman leaders and how I was apart of a small group which involved younger woman who were being handed "Leadership" by older woman yet horrible role models, I guess if someone is going to hand out that crap, I'd like a couple handfuls with no responsibility too!

I have no problem with woman leaders but I do think that there are specific "roles"(yeah I said it) God has for men and woman... (I still Love you Dave and Betsy but you're wrong!haha)

Love,
Jonathan

Ahh Friends!

So I enjoy reading blogs every once in a while, some make me happy others not so much...
I was reading a friends blog a while back and stumbled upon it again today, Their words were very passionate and almost believable... But pretty wrong at the same time, I was amazed to read comments about the post from others saying how much they agreed with them, almost uplifting them for their "great" ideas and a load of other Crap... Are we all people pleasers??? Would we rather agree with someone just to keep the waters calm? Sounds like Bull to me Timmy!




Love,
Jonathan

Living Life...

- Intentional -

Function:
adjective
Date:
circa 1677
1: done by intention or design : intended <intentional damage>2 a: of or relating to epistemological intention b: having external reference


I was talking to someone the other day and a weird concept came up, what would happen if everyone lived an Intentional life... Not just living day to day hoping that the next would be better or maybe your pockets a little deeper, but a real intentional life... Waking every morning to pursue a purpose, whatever that may look like to you... I guess I've found myself living that horribly boring and depressing way of lifelessness...
We all hear this rant at some point in our lives but for some reason it struck a cord in me, probably because I have noticed how cold I have become to people in need and that has never been me...
I have a "Friend" who comes into the shop a couple times a week just to chat and pick my brain about tattoos, usually he drives me crazy and I would like to jack him in the face most days, but as I was leaving from work, I heard a very hurt voice call my name from the side of the building... It was my "friend", drunk and angry asking if I might have a second for him... Of course I had plans with friends so in the back of my mind I was saying noooooo, but I said sure... He continued to tell my about "The worse day of his life"... He started to tell my about his daughter (who he usually brings into the shop)... He has had her for the last 7 years due to the Ex and her boyfriends beating and sexually abusing the little girl... He asked me for some advice about hope and having faith that she would be ok throughout this situation... Of course I gave him the textbook answer because I had plans... Driving away from him I realized what a Prick I had turned into, Caring about people who need no care(or maybe they do but don't want it)...


So as of today I will live an Intentional life...
