Rat-a-tat..... by my brother Joshua D.M. Johnson

In the blink of an eye all I had once was gone,
I took a deep breathe cause I knew I was wrong,
No one is perfect and I should have known better,
10 years from now will this kid really rememeber?
The three little seconds that changed my entire life,
The anguish and pain, the emotional strife,
I changed the lives of so many and they changed mine as well,
But because I acted without thinking condemned I was to hell,
A slap on the hand, A pat on the wrist,
I can still get myself out of this twist,
"Never Stop Believing," was my battle cry,
Yet I do not sit with my class and no one really understands why....
They said I did this, they said I did that,
Accusations they sounded like rat-a-tat-tat.
Shots fired in every direction,
No care for the youth, they don't see our connection,
Friends are hard to find,
And happy days seem like they are lost forever,
But I will overcome and set out on a brand new endeavor.
You see this circle of life it's bigger than me,
it's really too big for any of us to see,
We all must give back and learn to love one another,
I will survive, grab my hand, join together, call me Brother!

The Father of All

Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? -- Malachi 2:10

The message of Malachi, the last of the Old Testament prophets, was primarily directed to the Jews of the restoration, who already were backsliding after being restored from their Babylonian captivity, and God's rebuke of their sinful behavior focused on the key to its correction. They needed to remember, first of all, that they were all brothers, because they all had the same Father. This was not a reference to their becoming spiritual children of God by the new birth, but a reminder of the even more basic fact that they had all been specially created by God in the first place. They should therefore be united in God's great calling of the Jews as God's chosen people, bearing His message to the whole world.

Although Malachi's message was primarily for the Jews, it also has all men in view. "For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; . . . saith the LORD of hosts" (Malachi 1:11). There was an earlier covenant than the Mosaic and Levitical covenants—one which God made with all men after the great Flood, which has never been withdrawn.

This Noahic covenant, continuing for perpetual generations, does indeed remind us that all men everywhere are brothers, created by the selfsame Creator, and responsible to Him for their behavior toward one another, and for their stewardship of the earth under His ownership. Thus, Malachi's rhetorical questions remind us that the only way to resolve problems among the nations of the world is, first of all, to remind and try to convince them that they all were created by the one true "Lord of hosts," that they must someday answer to Him, and that He still loves them as a father loves his children. HMM

A Flasher’s New Year’s Resolutions…

Spend more time flashing my friends and family.
Expose myself to the less fortunate.
Meet new people and dangle my junk in front of them.
Join gym to fit into smaller trench coat.
Learn to say, “Look at my sack!” in the Romance languages.
Try exposing taint for a change.
Be more fashionable by matching socks with pubic hair.
Stop and smell the roses. Then flash them.

Lust in Translation

For his birthday a boy asks for a bicycle.

His father says, “Son, we would give you one, but the mortgage on this house is $280,000. There is no way we can afford it.”

The next day the father sees the boy heading out the front door carrying a suitcase. So he asks, “Son where are you going?”

The boy says, “I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling Mommy you were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming, too. And I’ll be damned if I’m staying here by myself with a $280,000 mortgage and no bike!”

Cock Tease

A man asks his friend, “How many legs are there altogether on three roosters?”
“Uh, six!” the friend replies.
“How many beaks are there on four roosters?”
“Er, four!”
“Well smart guy, how many wings are there on 12 roosters?”
“Ah, jeez… 24!”
“OK, so how many teeth are in a cat’s mouth?”
“C’mon, guy-I have no idea.”
“Well, damn, you sure seem to know a lot more about cock than pussy!”

Final Will and DNA Test

An 85-year-old man on his deathbed looks up at his 81-year-old wife. They have been married for more than 50 years and have four sons. Three of the sons have red hair and light skin. The fourth son, the youngest, has black hair and dark eyes.
The old man asks his wife, "Tell me, before I die, is our youngest son my child?"
His wife says, "I swear to you on all that is holy: He is your son."
The man smiles, closes his eyes, and dies.
The wife turns to the nurse next to her and says, "Thank God he did not ask me about the first three."

American, Japanese, and Canadian....

An American, a Japanese man, and a Canadian are hanging out when suddenly there is a beeping sound.
The American says, "That is my pager. I have a microchip under the skin of my arm."
A few minutes later, the Japanese fellow lifts his palm to his ear and says, "It is my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand."
The Canadian decides he has to do something just as impressive. He goes to the bathroom and returns with a piece of toilet paper hanging from his butt, he says, "Well, look at that! I am getting a fax."

Hit the weight loss right way.

Do not skip breakfast, bad move. The meal keeps your body’s metabolism stoked.
Do not load up on “diet” snacks. Baked chips and fat-free candy are still junk food.
Do not eat post workout snack, too many calories can undo your hard work.
Drink more water. It will help flush away sodium, which bloats you. You will be also less likely to down high calorie beverages.
Fill up on fiber; it keeps you full longer than any other food.
Do interval training; there is no better way to burn off fat.
Do more than just train, not just in the gym, go for walks, run with dogs, consider getting a bike for weekends, etc.
Cut calories, you have to take in fewer calories than you are burning each day. Period.
Do more than pop a multivitamin, they may work but don’t work miracles.
Do not swear off favorite foods, you will eventually cave, and it will not be pretty.
Mix cardio and strength, it is more effective.
Do not slash carbs, your body needs at least 100 grams a day for energy.

Q: I have been getting stronger, but my joints hurt and I am feeling lethargic in the gym. I do not want to stop training. What do you suggest I do?

A: When you are making progress, it is natural to want to keep training hard, but multiple injuries or a general run-down feeling are signs that you may be starting to over train. By taking a “deloading” period, you can continue to train and make progress without making things worse. Cut the load you are lifting by at least 10% and do not take your sets anywhere near failure. Slowly work your way back up.
