Strange, but fitting

Someone sent this to me this morning. Its so completely strange because it speaks directly to my life at the moment and what I'm going through. So I thought I'd just share it... And maybe somehow I can use this miracle to help me overcome...

"John 21v3....that night they caught nothing. V6 Jesus said“Cast your net on the other side of the boat and YOU WILL find some”

Have you been toiling all night? Your life has been all about running all over to find answers,cause everything you have tried has yielded no results,the burden seems too much to bear. The disciples being men had to produce they had to bring home the food. They probably were so frustrated when just on time the Master of the sea showed up!He had an answer like He always does. Psalm 55v22“Cast your burdens on the Lord,and He shall sustain you.”

Jesus now says you tried and tried now try casting on the other side where YOU WILL find answers,not maybe or I think you will,He was sure therefore He said ,“YOU WILL” FIND ANSWERS!Give up whatever it is you have been doing and just lean on Him,He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother,Proverbs 19v8. He will provide in abundance not just for yourself but for your entire family as well. Romans 15v13“Now may the God of Hope fill you with all Joy and Peace in Believing.” God is our only source of Hope, give up running all over where there are no answers Run to Him,He has arms wide open to embrace YOU!"

No More Internet - New Phone

This is going to come across as a bit lame, but its just tester... I've got a new phone, so just checking if blogger will fully function on it. I must say that typing is seriously tedious with this thing. Don't know if its this keypad (which is crap) or if its just THIS (trying to blog). I'm desperate enough to suffer through it 'cause I don't have internet access any longer :( *sniff sniff*

So, here goes! *fingers crossed*
PS- BlackBerry 9360, not a worthwhile phone.

10 Reasons Introverts and Books are BFF'S

This is SO true! It's like whoever created was in my mind!


Passenger - Let Her Go

Absolutely loving this song right now!




The Lyrics:

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go
And you let her go
Well you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Diary of a learner driver

When you're learning to drive you're nervous as hell with just the thought of going out onto the road and actually staying between the white lines and not smashing any curbs or anything. And you have to know where all the gadgets in the car are and when and how to appropriately use them. THEN you have to deal with the added pressure of OTHER CARS on the roads! And basically being able to drive properly without meeting in any accidents or endangering the lives of anyone on the road, AND most especially NOT PISSING OFF OTHER DRIVERS.

Come on, you've all been a learner driver at some stage in your life. And most of you were nervous and took some getting used to it... (not including those random freaks of nature to whom driving just comes naturally *insert rolling eyes face*).

So you know what it's like to get onto the road and face all the other cars, drivers, pedestrians, robots, road signs, yield signs, parking... and so on and so forth... Its SCARY!(And you also know the feeling of setting off on your journey and making it to your destination hassle free :) - there is something to look forward to).
So basically, as a driver who's still learning how to deal with, um, well, everything... Here's a few things that just really make life difficult, and sorting these things out would just be oh so helpful and would certainly make life so much easier...

  • Taxi drivers - need to be banned! They are just about the worst things on the road (and in life in general). They DO NOT follow ANY rules whatsoever. They live in a land of their own where they are the rulers and everyone bows to them or suffers. EXPERIENCED drivers find them hell to deal with, so imagine how learner drivers feel?! When I was driving once, a taxi driver up front just suddenly started reversing! I panicked like death and was seriously shaken up a while afterwards. He could have killed me! So seriously, taxi drivers are just pure evil and need to go (unless they're going to start following the laws of the land and stop making up their own).
  • Pedestrians are DUMB! Seriously! The bane of existence. I actually don't know if they're AS bad as taxi drivers or WORSE! 'The walking man has turned red and the big thing with lights on it (what we call a robot) has turned green, so of course it means we must walk across the road AND do so as slowly as possible!' Idiots! 'Ag, do I REALLY have to look left and right and then left again?! Screw this shit, I'm just running across the road and everything will be fine 'cause I'm superman!' Complete and utter morons! (PS: I know I am also a pedestrian too, but I know how to follow the rules, I don't think I'm immortal, and I think a car is way scarier than I am!)
  • Potholes. Really, its hard enough having to not go too close to the curb or too far to the opposing lane, but now we've got to dodge potholes  Just great. Especially that feeling when you hit one! The government has money to waste on a whole ton of junk (not including the high scale parties). So is it so much to ask that they put the taxpayers money to good use by fixing the roads we use thus making driving more pleasant and less of a risk...
  • Speed bumps! One of the stupidest inventions ever. I already hate having to change gears, speed bumps make me change more! And no matter how slow you go you still feel that lil boop, and it does NOT feel nice. Speed bumps also damage your car (or so I've heard) and really it's expensive enough owning a car and just paying for the daily running of it, we don't need any additional expenses. 
  • Off ramps leading onto highways. It's seriously hard! Having to turn and check for a gap and enter the highway from the off ramp. Its just really terrifying and difficult! What if its super busy and trucks just keep coming one after the other and you're so scared you won't make it, so you just wait there and a ton of cars pile up behind you and they're all getting impatient and pissed off so they're honking and flashing and you just don't know WHAT to do?! (yes, it happened to me the other day). There should seriously be a lane that just goes on down straight from the off ramp entering onto the highway, so you can just stay on that lane and not be of any hindrance to anyone else. Doesn't that make sense? Doesn't it?!
  • Yield signs. I really don't know whether to stop or go or what to really do here. I know the theory behind it, you slow down... check the road... if there's a car you stop, if no cars you go... But it just confuses the shizz outta me!
  • All roads should be flat! I know this sounds insane, but think about it... It makes life with gear changing just so much simpler, you won't have to change as much! And the whole, when should I change, when shouldn't I problem is gone. When I'm going up on a bit of an incline I think I've got to stay in second gear, but then the car starts revving and the speedometer hits just over 40 and my mother's like "you can hear the car is suffering, you should change to third" and I'm like but I thought you go up a hill on second... Its just confusing! Also, you wouldn't have to worry about rolling... 
  • And finally, all other drivers should just get off the road! I'm sorry, but I think I'm a pretty decent driver, until another car gets on the road with me... Then I just start panicking and freaking out and just lose it on the road. I am getting better, but these drivers just seriously don't help. I'll be driving along nicely, but keeping the speed limit 'cause I'm still learning how to properly control the car... And traffic cops just happen to be ANYWHERE at any time and I really do not want to get a ticket or be stopped by a traffic cop, that is seriously the LAST thing I need to help my confidence as a driver. And then you get some impatient jerk behind me who just overtakes with an attitude and makes me so nervous! I'm sticking to the speed limit you douche! Shouldn't you be doing that too?! (Seriously, having a speed limit does absolutely NOTHING! I don't know of anyone, other than learner drivers, who keep to the limit...) Then you get those drivers who don't stop at stop streets, they dart across lanes without any warning... They drive too close to you... They don't use indicators... Don't know how a four way stop works... The list is ENDLESS! Simply put, drivers are completely selfish and think they're the only one's on the road! So they need to be gotten rid off. 

Basically, if all the above mentioned are seen to, I just might make it to be a good driver...

11 Things You Should Stop Saying To Introverts | Thought Catalog

11 Things You Should Stop Saying To Introverts | Thought Catalog
This is taken directly from the site and I have not altered it in any way (everything within the inverted commas).

"1. Why are you so quiet? Oh yeah? Well why are you always rolling around yapping your pie hole and acting like gorilla all the time. Getting asked why introverts are “so quiet” is really annoying, but it just underscores how much value people place on talking and filling up the air with meaningless sound.
2. You must not but that smart — I mean, you never say anything in class. Introverts are quiet because we don’t find value in idle conversation, talking for the sake of talking. We may not raise our hands right away, but it doesn’t mean we’re not processing ideas in our own way. We have lots to say about stuff because we are always thinking.
3. You need to get out more. Extroverts think that introversion is something that can be fixed by simply throwing yourself out there, like maybe if you had three more Appletini’s than everybody else you’ll be cured once and for all. But going out more isn’t always the answer, especially when you can enjoy a nice quiet evening at home with your books or video games or Netflix or porn or whatever it is you like to enjoy.
4. Don’t worry about her/him. She/he’s just really shy. But being shy and being an introvert aren’t the same thing. Some introverts love going out and being social, but then we need some time to ourselves to regroup and to “come down” from the experience, so to speak. Getting out more isn’t the answer. You just need to accept the fact that sometimes we feel like being out and sometimes we don’t. No explanation needed.
5. SPEAK UP. No, you lean in and listen carefully to what we are saying.

6. Are you OK? Because introverts are often quiet and drawn into our own thoughts, extroverts think that we are always mad or upset or sad about something. But we are FINE!
7. Why do you hate people so much?
8. Do you have any friends? You’re always alone.
9. Are you mad at me? This one is slippery, because people do deal with being mad at someone in a variety of ways, including not talking to them. But in general, we’re not mad or upset, unless you’re feeling guilty because you know you did something wrong.
10. You’re going home already? We just got here!
11. You are so boring. Look, people enjoy different kinds of stimulation. If you want to be friends with or date someone who you think is “boring” because their lifestyle doesn’t match yours, then you should probably try harder to understand them or compromise with them at the very least. That or find somebody who matches your constantly riveting rhythm."
PS: Thanks for this Lesh :)
I usually just roll my eyes inwardly at people who do this to me and call them morons (as well as many other colourful names) in my mind. Seen as I'm not much of a talker (lol), its nice to have this all put into words for me...
Hopefully people will read this and become better people (or at least more understanding)... HOPEFULLY lol

PPS: There's just 11 on this list, I have much MUCH more on mine (which I'll just keep to myself, for the time being at least).
