Don't be jealous.

Today
No it can't here is a picture to combat such terrible possibilities.
Clark and I hang out out in the staffroom.
Cafe Basil
Today I spent some of my afternoon in a little corner cafe. I'm
looking for a spot where I can relax and enjoy a moment or two with a
novel or a notebook. I want somewhere quiet with good filter coffee
and relatively cheap refills and who knows, maybe a snack if I end up
lost in a book and find myself hungry by the time I get out. My best
part
was the French music playing in the background and the plant nursery
enhanced the whole scene with a bit of greenery.

I just thought I'd mention that since I enjoyed my hour or so writing
at the spot. The coffee was a bit expensive and small at that so I'm
going to look around a bit more till I settle.
Please note: All written work here is done for my own practice and not
to impress anyone. So don't judge me if you're not impressed. Also
don't judge me if you're indifferent.
At home
Now I'm at good in my little back-garden granny-flat in East London. I
don't have much to say except that I'm enjoying spending time with God
and seeking him in such a quiet place is good. Especially when I rid
myself of distractions. I have forgotten what I used to blog about. I
can't decide whether it was good to blog or not. I much prefer it to
facebook but I'm still not too sure what I think about putting my
words all out in the open for everyone to see. Although no one really
sees I still wonder what is my reason for blogging like this?

Well I guess that's me. Not feeling particularly inspired right now
maybe I will feel brave enough to post something heartfelt again soon.
I'm going to switch on my audio-bible now and read along with some old
guy and renew my mind a bit. God knows it needs renewing.
Oh that's what I was thinking. Do I need to fight if God has already
won? Is it not proud to assume that any fight I put up against evil
could have any effect in comparison to Jesus' death on the cross? What
am I fighting if the war is over and victory secure.
I have that question and I will bring an answer soon.
Failed
Well I'm not feeling too guilty as I now admit I failed the first bit
of my internet fast. I was forced onto Google to check some flights
for my honeymoon, which I am happily organising. So let me amend my
statement to include certain internet sites connected to the
organising of honeymoon flights, etc.

It has been wonderful however staying away from facebook and trying to
stave off the constant urge to check who bought me on the human pets
application and realising that I still exist whether my status is
updated or not.
I'm writing and spending time on other much more important things so i
feel good and fulfilled. I will also be free to give more time to God
in devotion and reading the Bible.
Last night I watched Kite-runner and was inspired when I saw one of
the temples filled with people reading their Holy books with
diligence. I'd like to be that dedicated to my Father in Heaven.

40 Days Faceless
I wonder if I will lose my face if I go for forty days or more without facebooking once. I am sick of feeling like I need to change my profile status the whole time so that people know what I am doing or thinking. I am also a bit tired of having Google, WikiPedia, and pictures of people I don't know popping up on my facebook homepage, in my pocket on my phone.
Distraction abounds. I can spend a whole morning looking for a "decent" game to play, then the whole afternoon trying to configure it, then the whole next month realising that it is a waste of time. There are other things I want to do. I want to write more. I used to blog a lot and at least write some sensible stuff though I can't help feeling a little pretentious when I write something and post it online FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE!!!
I will allow myself access to Gmail, Mtn and Vodacom websites as I do need to communicate with people. I will blog by sending this as an email to an email address which my blog automatically checks and assimilates accordingly. I will blog a bit, but only for myself, to sublimate the desire to surf aimlessly through the digital wastelands in search of meaningless treasures.
If I had to put a picture on this blog I'd post a picture of the Silver Surfer giving up his life of gliding through sapce, wandering from galaxy to galaxy in search of new worlds for his gargantuan master to steal the life from. He'd be setting with a pursuit of some sort that is more heartfelt and full of goodness.
I look forward to less distraction, more focus, less face and more life.
