2007
so it's 2007 `:oT still feels like 1999 and this is what welcomed me to the new year:
that was the front of my house..under the bricks are the remains of mine and our neighbour's front gates and wall thingy..i don't actually know what happened, if it was the wind or some drunk fucker or even me - thinking i can hurt bricks but yea, our neighbour knocked on our door and i did the whole "happy new year!! how was your night out?...holy shit!!" a part of me wanted to ask "did you just do that?" but she was a lil dainty to do even harm a wall..plus my land lord is out of england so he can't fix it
so our family christmas lunch was a lil strange plus annoying to say the least this year seeing as the middle sister wasn't there(yes i have a sister - two in fact)..oohh..i didn't mention before, my sister (marianne) and he bf (grant) recently went to south africa..they were going to start their new life together in sa rather than in uk, marianne spoke to all of her friends - those close and those not so close friends and she dropped the news that they'd prob never see eachother ever again, apparently there were tears, a lot of emotions and the whole "i'm sorry that our friendship didn't work out as i'd hope..blah blah"..i took it upon myself to give em some comforting words of advice, seeing as i am so worldly and stuff *wink..it took 3 days of straight talking for them to decide that they will no longer start their new life in sa `:oD mission accomplished baby!! so yea, now when marianne gets back to the uk, shes prob gotta call up her friends again and tell em the good news lol
anyway back to the christmas lunch..well the other sister (maria - yes everyone in our family is "mar" you-couldn't-make-this-shit-up!) brought one of her church friends to our place..now maria moved out of my mother's house to accommodate her church friends who would often came over, to sing and dance, all hours of the day..yep maria is a born again christian and is very religious person..she preaches the gospel to me and does try to force her ideology onto me
so we're about to break bread and maria's friend requests that he would like to say a prayer and thank God for the food etc..and i could not for the life of me keep a straight face, i wanted to laugh..i wanted laugh out loud..plus he couldn't see me as his eyes were closed..usually i'd grin and marianne would see that and would usually bus out laughing before me but yea if its family its aight but if its random strangers then its just plain rude
didn't end either - he later started preaching..now for all you people who really hate religious people getting up in your face and constantly preaching and you prob think they're all crazy..don't automatically turn off..i'm not condoling their actions, i do find it annoying and it does make me wanna argue and yes at times it does really fuck me off, i do disagree that you shouldn't push your own religious views onto others but i do understand..after about an hour of him preaching i did say one thing that did make him stop, i think he realised that he can't save everyone
at the time i couldn't think of a good enough analogy as im not that quick on my feet but i compared his preaching to teaching a kid how to tie his/her's shoe lace..when you teach a kid how to tie their own shoe lace for the first time and they are so happy they can now finally do it on their own, its something they will take with them forever and that feeling that you get of helping is immeasurable..now if you can give that same feeling to all your friends, family and even random strangers (in this case via God), that same feeling is tripled
so the next time you meet a crazy christian, just think of that, try not to bash them but just understand what they are trying to do
have a great new year everyone
