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.

Fine Boy

 My First post in a long time, and i think it is only right that I be selfish, I also think I've been "kinda conceited" in recent time. So it is only appropriate that I share my "handsome" face with y'all.
 Before you begin to get angry, just remember I don't post my pictures everyday despite the fact that this blog is mostly about me and my choice. So just enjoy this.

Vacancy: Girlfriend Wanted

GIRLFRIEND WANTED

 It's official, Your's Sincerely is searching. Searching for "The One". That special someone, who is supposed to make all the difference in my life, for whom I'm supposed to be willing to go to any length. Before we even begin to talk about this, I want to make one thing clear, "The One" can only be a female, either a girl, lady or woman. (I'll talk about the difference in another post, possibly tomorrow, if you wanna help me with that, feel free to drop a comment).
 I spent the first fifteen years of my life looking at only the negative parts of the female folk. That wasn't my fault, as their case was not helped by the fact that some of the worst persons I knew on a personal level were actually females, while the good ones were all kinda in a competition with me. We were constantly at each others throat.
 A couple of years ago, I made a new friend who changed my life forever. She made me see girls from a different perspective, showing me what I had been missing by not having a female friend, while teaching me a lot of things in term of relating with girls. She taught me things I'll never have known, things most guys never knew, and for the first time in my life, I actually had a non-competitive healthy relationship with a girl who wasn't in my family.
 I'll have given anything to date her, she was that much special to me, despite all the dark side there was to her which I knew of, but there is a twist to our story. She stays outside Lagos. Not just outside, but very far away. It will be plain stupidity for me to consider a distant relationship at this time of my life, not with what I know, or what I'll love to enjoy from any relationship I'm in. Dating her was automatically out of the question. But then, I'm in need of a relationship, I think I'm matured enough for one, I believe I can handle the responsibilities and privileges that come with one.
 So right now, I'm on the look out for a girlfriend, and will share with you what exactly I'm looking for in a girlfriend.
 In the Meantime, I'll continue with my quest to find "The One".

Vacancy: New Friends Wanted

Friends Wanted

 The past 15 months of my life has brought me to a couple of realization. Firstly, I don't have enough friends. Secondly, I've outgrown most of my friends. And Finally, I urgently need new friends.
 My plight is not aided by the fact that I am kinda an Introvert. There are two proverbs that keep ringing in my head each time I think about these issues. Firstly, Change is the only constant thing. Secondly, the more things change, the more they remain the same.
 I've decided to open up myself to new people, experiences, and thinking patterns. Hopefully, I'll get to make new friends who'll help me in my quest through life. Every friend I ever had played an important role in my life, so also I've decided to share the roles for which I've got "friends vacancy".
 I need a friend who is very intelligent but quiet. His role will be to challenge me educationally, bringing out the best in me, while ensuring I still take time to keep my private matters private.
 I need a friend who is a socialite. As most of you probably know now, I'm not a known figure, but I think that situation can be helped if I have a friend who is well know, maybe not a celebrity. But at least someone who knows the social circuit, and can get me into any event I want to attend. Even the ones that are supposed to be strictly by invitation.
 I also need a friend who is wealthy, or has a wealthy parent. Either way, He/She or His/Her parents should also be very liberal with their wealth, thereby helping me with some of my finances. Although I'll only need their help in setting up some business. I promise not to waste their money, and to also help them with any investment they might be interested in. (I happen to have a good knowledge in that regard.)
 I need a Socially aware friend. Some who is at the happening club every friday, and knows about all the happening places, joints and events. He should also be Trendy, and very fashion conscious. These traits will hopefully rub off on me (Positively). Then I can also be a happening guy.
 I also need a crazy friend. The type who believes everything is possible, and is always willing to tackle the seemingly impossible. Someone who is always ready to take the leap with me, face any danger, take on anyone or anything, acts first ask questions later, risk everything he's got on something his heart tells him is right although every evidence says he is wrong. Someone who is impulsive, and will go to any length with me.
 Finally, I think it's time I finally get myself that girlfriend have been telling y'all about. Maybe then I can stop checking out all of my beautiful female friends, and stop day dreaming about "One Girl".

My Birthday Speech.

Joshua "Joswil" Wilson

On a Monday, the 30th day of March, 1992, A phenomenal event took place, in a small town in Lagos state, Agege to be precise, a young boy was born. There was laughter, Joy, and Happiness. Seven days later, Family members, Friends and Other well wishers gathered for His christening. His father named Him Joshua, and his Journey through Life begun.
 Thirteen years later, this young boy finished his Junior Secondary School, and had to make His first Big decision. He was to decide either to become a Science, Commercial or Art student in his Senior Secondary School. People already expected him to become the next big engineer out of the country, or probably a doctor, or maybe something big in the field of  Science and Technology. But contrary to popular opinion and expectations, He decided to take the less traveled road. He was going to be an Art student. A lot of people advised him against it, but he was insistent, claiming this was the field he had the least knowledge, but more interest.
 Thus began the sojourn of Joshua "Joswil" Wilson into the world of Arts and Entertainment. Three years down the line, August 2008 precisely, He finished Secondary School, and decided that before going off into the University, He was going to try his hand at Multimedia production.
 Long story short, Three years later, Joshua is a Video editor, Creative Writer, and M.D/C.E.O of GIG Entertainment, the company of His dream, which he co-founded with a couple of like minded friends.
 He is not currently a big player in the entertainment industry, but in the next couple of years, He and His friends are surely going to be taking over the Nigerian as well as African Entertainment Industry.
 I am Joshua Wilson,
 I say there's no stopping me as long as I've got God on my side.
 And if You know You are not in My life to Help, then You had better get out of My life at the next opportunity You get.
 So Ladies and Gentle Man, I say a let's make a Toast to Greatness,
 See You at the Top.
