Something Special For Someone Special

Something Special For Someone Special

 December 31st 2013, I woke up earlier than I normally will, but I was already a little late for "something". I rushed through my morning rites, and a couple of minutes later, I was where I was meant to be. A couple of minutes later, some new faces walked into the room, we were not properly introduced, but I was to work with one of them. My partner at the time picked one of them, and minutes later, we were working together and I didn't even know her name.
 By evening, it was time for the watch-night or as some of y'all will call it, cross-over service. On new year day, she was on of the first people I interacted with, we didn't talk much, it was all about getting the job done.
 By Saturday Morning we were done with the work, she and her pals went back to school, and Life was back to normal. But there was just a slight problem, I knew her name, liked her face, enjoyed her company, but didn't have her phone number. Now who does that? In this age and times?
 I waited a whole week, then went to my immediate superior asking to get her phone number. Now considering where I work, that is a very odd request which on a good day would never be met. Considering I didn't have any official role to play towards her on behalf of the company. I have no idea why or how, but he did give me her phone number. I couldn't wait to call her, minutes later we were talking on the phone, and by the end of the week we were closer than I imagined.
 We got talking and I realized we were actually very different but very similar. We shared a lot of common likes and dislikes, but stood on different grounds on lots of issues. In about two months of knowing each other, we've become best of friends, exchanged ideas and opinions, argued, agreed and disagreed, and she actually dislikes Liverpool F.C despite all I've done to win her over.
 But one thing I've come to discover, she does occupy a special place in my heart, and everyday I'm grateful to God for bringing such a gem into my life. She has actually made the year 2014 a lot more fun than it will have been without her.
 Today, she turns a year older, and I'm seizing this opportunity to wish her a happy birthday, praying her years be filled with joy, laughter, satisfaction, grace, prosperity, strength, favor, Love and lots of Peace.
 Her name is Peace, and this is Wishing You A HAPPY BIRTHDAY, with even better and grater days to come.

Crazy Logic 101: Sowing And Reaping

Don't tell me "Impossibility is nothing" cos then some people will go out of their way to create the "Impossible"

I just finish watching the movie "Notorious". It's bassed on the life of Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace. A.k.a Notorious B.I.G As it got towards the end, just when His Voice Over had ended and that of His mum was taking over, it was the scene depicting the procession to His burial. I began to see a massive similarity between B.I.G and Nigeria's own Dagrin. I remember shortly after the death of Dagrin, the crazy display of love shown by his fan, and a lot of shared philosophies between them. As well as what they had in common with TU Pac Shakur.
 I'll dwell more on that some other time. In the meantime, I've been doing a lot of thinking. Almost every time I hear an adult and a youth or young adult have a misunderstanding, many of the adult or should I say older folks immediately start talking on how they were more respectful and well behaved in their younger days, How Youths of this days are stubborn, disrespectful and on their way to ruin.
 They then go on to lecture you on Actions and Repercussions, as well as the principle of Sowing and Reaping. This always leaves me wondering, What exactly did these Folks sow when they were young? Considering how these "Adults" all claim to have live an Innocent and Well behaved life, I begin to wonder, who among them did all the wrong things we hear of now? Looking at the story they tell, almost everyone of  them knows or were friend with "one boy" who was stubborn and ended up wrecked. They also know "one girl" that wouldn't read her book and ended up as a prostitute. But if we follow the principle of show me your friend and I will tell who you are, shouldn't we ask what these "Adult folks" were doing with such bad friends back then? and where exactly are that "bad boy" and "stubborn girl" now so we can ask for their own part of the story? after all, there are always two or more side to every story.
 As I was saying, following the principle of reaping what you sow, isn't there a possibility these "Adult Folks" are reaping the consequences of their youthful ways? Is there not a possibility that they are getting the judgment for all of their own stubbornness and rebellion?
 A man whose son is repeatedly stealing His money, shouldn't we ask how much of His dad's money He stole, A woman whose daughter wouldn't heed to her advice and is insistent on following some sugar daddy, shouldn't we ask how many boyfriends and sugar daddies the mum had in her days?
 In summary, there is a possibility the heartaches some older folks experience are the result of actions of their younger ones. But then the younger folks shouldn't carry on with their naughty habits, because they just might have to bear the consequences in the future. Even if an Older fellow is deserving of a punishment, If you are not in a position of Authority or Leadership over him, then it is not you place to execute such judgment.
 Remember  "The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born."

Crazy World, Crazy Year.

 It's a crazy world, that I realized long ago, It's been a crazy year, and it promises to get even crazier. I have no idea where to begin, Last year was great, this year is already greater. Like my pastor said, this year is going to be the greatest year we "have ever" lived, and subsequent years will be even better.
 The Job has been good, business has been fair, I'm a month away from being 22 years old, and for the first time in my adult life, I'll be spending my birthday being completely debt free. Now if you know where I'm coming from you'll know that's an awesome news.
 I already got my JAMB/UTME form, hopefully by this time next year I'll be in school. I already traveled to Port-Harcourt, I've not traveled outside Lagos in over ten years, and I'm about to go on another trip. I already read about 3 books this year, I don't think I read up to 3, other than novels in the last 3 years, Liverpool are likely to qualify for the Champions League, this time last year we were a mess, right now, mathematically, we might still win the League. My Aunt is happily married and has a son, this time last year, she was still single. My younger sister is going off to the University while my elder brother is through with his OND. My friends have got this endless list of good news for me every time we meet. I'm closer to God than I've ever been before.
 You might want to ask, why is he going on and on about himself, is he being conceited, proud, or showing off. The answer is no. I'm simply doing what the Song Writer said. Count Your Blessings, Name Them One By One.
 It's not like the year hasn't had it's challenges, but each time I look at the blessings, I just have to say "Thank You Lord".
 I already look forward to meeting and working with lots of new and incredibly awesome people, I mean people I've spent the last couple of years studying and admiring from a distance, people like Chris Ihidero, Fola Folayan, Andre Blaze, Godwin Enakhena, and many others to name a few. (You guys should be cool with me, Just a dude with lots of passion and a really big dream.)
 For everyone who is hoping for better things and better times, I pray for God's Grace and Favor upon everyone of Us.
 One thing I'm most thankful for this year is new friendships. Most Especially a "Special Someone" who I met on the Morning of the Last day of Last Year. It's been a blessing knowing You, and I can say "I've found Peace".
 I've chosen three Creeds to Live by this year, I hope you agree with me and even Join Me, as it might be a Life Changer for Us all.
 1. Remember the Sabbath Day to Keep it Holy, Remember Thy Hustle to Keep it Going.
 2. Study and Hustle Smarter, Not Harder.
 3. Don't Loose who You are, Trying to be Who "They" Want.
May this year be a Year of endless Peace, Prosperity, Favor, Grace, Growth and Blessings for everyone of Us. (Amen.)

A New Beginning In The Middle Of The Year

It's Time For A New Beginning

 It's past the middle of the year, and thanks to a tight schedule, and mostly laziness on my part, On three blogs of mine, I've been unable to put up up to ten posts this year. So I've decided to sit up and put in more effort, so today, I'll share with you my plans for the remaining part of this year.
 As some of you might have known in the past, I've been working on setting up an Audio/Music Studio for over eighteen months now, A couple of weeks ago, thanks to the help of close friends of mine, I've finally completed it and I'm trying to create awareness about it. You can do me a big favor by following any one of this links, or this one, or this one. Or follow one of the adverts to your right hand side. Kindly like one of my facebook pages, it will go a long way in helping with the publicity.
 I intend to share a couple of pictures from the studio with you over the next couple of weeks.
 I also decided to do a lot more reading, with a minimal of One book every month, and I'll share my thought on the contents of these books with you, as well as my views on some music, and movies I'll be listening to and watching from now on. I'll share with you lessons I learnt from them. I'll be focusing more on the creative content, as well as asking or answering any moral, spiritual, scriptural, social, political, romantic, or educational question that arises from them. I'll try as much as possible to avoid talking about the technical aspects of them.
 I'll try to see a couple of Nigeria movies, I actually can't remember the last time I saw a Nigerian Movie. Although I do know there has been significant improvement in recent days.
 Thanks to discussions with close friends of mine, I've decided to try to attend a t least one event every month. Probably a concert, comedy show, or art related event. I don't know if going to the cinemas or attending a social event like Marriage or Naming Ceremony will qualify as an outing, but I intend to share with you my experiences at such outings.
 One thing I'm looking forward to right now is the start of the 2013/2014 Football Season in England, and for those of you who might be wondering, I'm a fan/supporter of Liverpool F.C (Y.N.W.A). I intend to give my review/opinion of every match we play next season.
 I'll share more of my Love Interest or should I say "Experiences" with you. Here is a hint, I think I've found "Her". I'll share more gist about "Her" here or on GreatestJoswil.Wordpress.com
 I'll also keep writing about my church activities, sharing the good news with you all, and for those of you who might be wondering, I'm a member of the Deeper Life Bible Church, and you can learn more about the church here.
  I've also decided to start posting Infographics at Tipsyjoswil.Blogsopt.com
 Not to bore you, I think this post is already long enough, so I'll say say my goodbye now.

Song Of The Day: Emi Ni - Rugged Man and Dagrin

Rugged Man and Da Grin

Of all Of DaGrin's Collaboration before His untimely demise, This song is very outstanding, as it has a whole load of hard core Hip-Hop touch, but is still easy to learn, comical in nature, and could easily be rated G, as in General (for all audience) or Gangster (Strictly for hardcore Hip-Hop fans).
You don't have to be a Rugged Man or DaGrin Fan to fall in Love with this song.
I've had the song on My P.C for a very long time, but listened to it for the first time a couple of days ago, and became addicted to it. Listening to only this song for a full day, Non stop. Nodding My head along with it, and laughing my head off.
Just a pity we do not have DaGrin around to keep reeling out this class of hit songs for us. Fit for clubs, house, radio, loud speaker, car ride, or private listening, with your head nodding to it.

My prayer for you is May your enemy surprise You for Your own Good in Jesus Name.

Conquer Your Fears.

We look at the same thing, but see different things, You see a guy walking in a high-rise building with the sky in his background. I see a guy, facing his fears, walking in the sky, and being Himself.
IF You're told you can't walk amidst the skies, just close your eyes and imagine yourself doing it and it's done.

Make Up

 Vanity might show off from the skin, But true Beauty is more than skin deep, It is more than what we see, It is what we can tell, all thanks to Your character.
 So take off your make up, and work on your character.

You Don't Know Me (KEEP QUIET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

You Don't Know Me

 There is nothing more annoying than seeing someone who knows nothing about me telling the story of my life. It truly is epically annoying.
 In trying to say what he knows nothing about, He ends up using assumptions, and jumping to conclusions.
 In the process of doing this he shows off his ignorance and misinformation. The way he goes about telling this story is even more hurting, as He'll speak confidently and authoritatively, thereby misleading and misinforming his audience.
 That's why when I meet someone who tells me "Mr A" said such and such about you, I have to take the time to correct whatever wrong notion such an individual might have placed in him.
 If You heard something bad about someone you know, when You meet him, don't begin to accuse Him, instead, ask for his own view, opinion, or chronicle of event. You might have been misinformed out of Ignorance, Jealousy, or just Mischief. Don't allow the lies of someone else destroy the cordial relationship you have with someone else.
 Finally, If you're asked a question about me, and You don't know the answer, tell your questioner that you do not know, or simply keep quiet.
If You don't know me, It's not an offense, but when you lie about me, Then It becomes an offense.

The Real Me.

There's more to Me than You See,
There's more to Me than You think You Know,
You Know my Name doesn't mean You know my Story,
If You wanna Know the real Me, Then You'll have to keep quiet,
And Listen to Me.
