Storytelling






Found this on Youtube recently. Kinda like the storytelling part, found it funny. Wanted to see how the song was played, acoustically, so decided to search Youtube for a live video, and this was one of the results that came up. Love the song, especially the way Tim Reynolds plays towards the end. Really interesting effect. Love the live cd that was recorded at Luther College. One of the cds that I really like. It introduced me to some of Dave's songs, especially the older ones. #41 is great as well, so are Warehouse, The Christmas Song, Jimi Thing, Say Goodbye, One Sweet World, Satellite, to name the few I really like. Like the guitars they use on this video as well :)

Really been a while since I really typed down my thoughts in here. Have been busy with work and catching up with friends. Thank God that I managed to pass all my exams in 1 sitting and proceed with work proper. Still praying in this aspect that my work load will increase. Christmas is coming as well, and I have a work trip up north to Malacca right after Christmas. La Guitare on the 23rd, and also helping out with my guitar for Sparklight the Sunday before.

Caught the Tommy Emmanuel concert with Kace and his wife last month, and it's really nice. Wanted to get a photo with him but the queue turned me off, and in the end I decided not to queue and leave. First time to his concerts, and I was bowled over by his playing style. Certainly a night of entertainment. And he apparently can sing as well. Nice.

Ok, I really don't know what I'm writing right now. Didn't really sleep well last night, and I'm having a bad headache at the moment. Hope it'll get better after the panadol I just popped.

"For no matter how many promises God has made, they are 'Yes' in Christ. And so through him the 'Amen' is spoken by us to the glory of God." 2 Corinthians 1:20

The Man Rules

Am kinda writing down this post in response to what was posted on my kid sister's blog. So here they are, the Men Rules :p

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down.

Finally, the guys' side of the story. ( I must admit, it's pretty good.) We always hear ' the rules' from the female side.

Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules! Please note these are all numbered '1 ' ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really .

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, football or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;

But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Really cracked me up when I first read this on G4C, posted by Kace. I'll blog more later on. Stealing some time on one of the office PCs during lunch now. Should consider bringing my laptop down to the office in future.

"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him." 2 Corinthians 2:14
