Dear John Witherspoon: “Steroids”
November 20, 2008
Now this is comedy…
John Witherspoon gets his social commentary on, Dear John style. This time about the benefits of steroids, not only in sports but in real life. Classic… better than CB’s “Black Jesus” maybe not funnier but a whole lot safer, i dont have to watch for stray lighting bolts watching this.

My issues of Love | Im sure the women will agree…
November 16, 2008
One of the reasons i started to blog was to be as honest as i can, not so honest that i have no thoughts of my own, but to be honest to where it may help someone else. even if it does make me look like a fool… lol anyways… But lately, dealing with more of those love issues, i’ve come to realize some things about myself. As much of a good guy as i might be, i too bring baggage to the relationship. Not saying that i never knew that, but i never counted it as a SIGNIFICANT amount of baggage. Come to realize im toting not only carry-on bags, but i got some coffins being over nighted, fed-ex’ed, certified mailed, and UPS’d direct to my relationships.
Bare with me as i try and list my main points of baggage:
1. Over-sensitivity:
It comes from over-thinking too many issues that might not even be issues. Taking one thing and thinking about all the various possibilities, all possible angles, and scaring myself into believing the worst will happen. My fault, not hers. My insecurity, my fear of trust, my pesimism. Complaining about issues that probably dont exist can only push someone away, someone who very well may really love you.
Biblically speaking: Love: “Hopeth all things” (hope and insecurity/fear of trust work against each other, therefore love struggles in situations where hope is not present).
2. Trouble letting go of the past:
How very true it is, that i have my issues with the past. I know i am not alone. But in the instance of DEALING, with the past, you have to come to grips with whatever happened, deal with it and MOVE ON. I, apparently, have trouble with that, as i may have seemingly delt with it, but have really only barried it for the time being, only to bring it up again, and with bringing up past issues, you bring up past emotions, only reliving the issues at hand. How can you drive forward only looking in the rear view mirror? You cant…. you have to learn to deal and move, if you dont, its like driving with the emergency brakes on, or riding on 4 flats. You wont get very far.
Biblically speaking: Love: “taketh not account of evil; rejoiceth not in unrighteuousness, but rejoiceth with truth” (does not take into account a wrong suffered)
3. Saying the right thing, the wrong way, at the wrong time.
The Pastor today spoken on some biblical issues and how they related to our friendships and relationships. If you are speaking with good intentions, you should and can speak, but there is a way to do it and a time to do it. Im a slave to my emotions, i have yet to reach that level of maturity where i understand that difference of how you feel and whats real (sounds like something out of the movie ATL, but its true). How we feel isnt always what is correct and right. When im mad, i usually let it be known right then and there. I may not make it obvious but talking about private issues in public certainly isnt coshure. To get the best results, the best feedback, wait till you for one have calmed down and can speak without the emotions clouding your best judgement, and two when it is the best time for both parties to speak about the issues.
Taking about those issues when someone is busy or already stressed/tired can only lead to a skewed response. The Pastor used himself as an example. How church folks will come to him with matters of importance right AFTER church, after he has lead two services. He said at which point he doesnt have the energy to deal with those matters at that very moment and cannot lend the attention needed. He said those that have matters that can wait need to be brought to him on Tuesday, after he rests on Monday from Sunday’s duties. which leads me into my next issue:
4. Patience
Sometimes you CANT talk about things when you WANT to, and the urgency that your emotions may put upon you may cause severe distress but you have to learn to put those emotions in their place and learn patience. When we love, we want the other party to love just as much as we love, WHEN we love. It doesnt always, and probably not ever works that way. Someone will always love the other more, and it may fluctuate and alternate. But as long as that love is strong enough to sustain quality within a relationship, let it. LOL and dont complain about it.
Biblicaly speaking, love is patient.
Just some things i’ve had to deal with lately. Some self realizations that have to be noted or else i risk spending my life lonely. More so, we all need to look in the mirror first, and straight out our own issues before seeking out another’s shortcomings.
Pz.
