Forget Swine Flu...
Wait till you get the YoYo Flu, it makes you feel ok twice a day and rotten at least three times untill you reach the end of your tether and head off to bed... They say it takes two weeks or a fortnight to clear up... I am halfway there! "After you've been in a place for a while, everything starts to look... I won't say better, there's no need to go to extremes...but your everyday life does start to become...familiar." David Assael, Northern Exposure, Russian Flu, 1990

Stop...
means STOP! Even a kid knows that... Or so I thought, this past Saturday I was gobsmacked when virtually the whole Quad class ignored this most basic of signs and proceeded to blast over the crossing at top speed. Of course the subsequent list of exclusions from the day's results was not taken well by many. Unfortunately I am not letting safety take a second place to popularity or convenience, neither did some of the race jury members, MSA now has to decide... and I will comment further when that happens. in the meantime... please Stop!
"With a stop light, green means 'go' and yellow means 'slow down'. With a banana, however, it is quite the opposite. Yellow means 'go', green means 'whoa, slow down', and red means 'where the heck did you get that banana?'" Mitch Hedberg (1968 - 2005)
"One only needs two tools in life: WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop." G. Weilacher

Calling all South Africans @ 21:00 Today
Calling all South Africans (and people who care) to pray at this CRITICAL time, for GOD to give our country the right goverment this coming Wednesday when we go to vote...
2 Chronicles 7 v 14 d If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and I will heal their land.
Proverbs 29 v 2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
In the light of the coming elections Wednesday, please, pray for our Country at seven PM today, leave the news or whatever is on MNET and go on your knees with your family for a while...
'Heavenly Father, thank you that we can take comfort in the fact that you are in control of every situation. We pray for a godly, honest leader for our country, South Africa. God YOU make the impossible, possible. We pray for a leader who will bring peace and reconciliation to our land.
We pray for a free and fair election tomorrow.
We pray that YOUR people in South Africa will keep their eyes on YOU and that you will bless them. We pray this in the precious name of JESUS.

Have another wonderful trip around the sun!
This is something that God sent me for this day; God is jou SAKDOEK as jy huil... Hy is jou HOEKIE as jy erens wil skuil... Hy is jou SAMBREEL as HARTSEER oor jou reen... Hy is jou 911 as jy in nood verkeer... Maar meeste van als... Hy is die ANKER op jou lewenspad.
God is your HANDKERCHIEF when you cry... He is your HIDEAWAY when you want to hide... He is your UMBRELLA when HEARTACHE pours down... He is your 911 in times of trouble... But most of all... He is your ANCHOR on your life's journey.
Remember, I will always love you... have a wonderful year!

Above All
Above all powers, above all kings Above all nature and all created things Above all wisdom and all the ways of man You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones Above all wonders the world has ever known Above all wealth and treasures of the earth There's no way to measure what you're worth
Crucified Laid behind a stone You lived to die Rejected and alone Like a rose Trampled on the ground You took the fall And thought of me Above all
John 3:16 For God So loved the world that, He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

The Reason
The reason why I can only fall on my knees and whisper... Thank You Lord... When I saw this on YouTube I knew what day to post it on... I wonder if the writers ever thought that the song could describe how I feel about what Jesus did for us on the Cross...
Hoobastank : The Reason Lyrics Songwriters: Estrin, Daniel; Hesse, Chris; Lappalainen, Markku; Robb, Douglas; I'm not a perfect person There's many things I wish I didn't do But I continue learning I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know
I've found out a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you It's something I must live with everyday And all the pain I put you through I wish that I could take it all away And be the one who catches all your tears Thats why i need you to hear
I've found out a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is You
and the reason is You [x3]
I'm not a perfect person I never meant to do those things to you And so I have to say before I go That I just want you to know
I've found out a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show A side of me you didn't know A reason for all that I do And the reason is you
I miss you like the desert's miss the rain... Where do you go to my lovely... Please don't go... you're the only Angel I know... Just some songs from No Mercy that help pass the time while MD is away in Johannesburg... The guitar playing of this group always makes me wish I could! The notes seem to tug at my heart... Especially after our trip to Argentina I have gotten very fond of Latina music, particularly the ones from South and North America, they have a vibrancy and energy that is contagious. So until mi amor is back I will console myself with music and doing some solo riding on the bike... I found this amusing quote that sums up how things have gone the last few days as fitting in with the title of the first song... "Either I've been missing something or nothing has been going on." Karen Elizabeth Gordon

Musings about life on this blue dot we call home.
Mostly from a puzzled males perspective as he enjoys the ride of his life through space and time in the company of friends and with music in his ears.
Aided by technology and an inherent love of all things mechanical. From astronomy to muzic and eclectic thoughts in between...
