Sorry for the absence!

Sincere apologies for those who may have been wondering why I haven't released any posts recently. The answer is that I have been working on launching a new site that will be completely created, managed and updated by myself and this process is taking me much longer than I had first anticipated. Without giving too much away, I am basically looking to continue delivering what I do best-giving advice to young adults to show them why 'progression is a must' is more than just a motto. Also, I plan on introducing more visual/video aspects to make...

Live & Maintain: Part 3- Stunting

Key terms explained: 1. StuntingVerb; To show off one's wealth or the appearance of wealth, aware it may cause ill feelings and or envy in others.  2. StuntVerb; to floss or to “ball so hard mothafuckas wanna find you” (That shit cray!). 3. StunterNoun; Someone who engages in the act of stunting. I thought it would make sense to set this final part of the 'Live & Maintain' 3-part special with a definition of this remarkable concept. From reading parts 1 & 2 you knew that you should be Saving and I know you knew too well about Spending...

Live & Maintain: Part 2- Spending

Last week, I wrote about the importance of Saving but for those who haven't read it, click here to read it now. Unlike Saving, Spending is the one 'S' out of the three that we probably know the best. It's hard to think of a time where we haven't spent money for longer than a 48 hour period. From the dawn of civilisation, people have spent in exchange for something else. From gold, cotton to even people being sold as slaves. It could be argued that as long as you can get the money for it, anything can be purchased. Before this becomes...

Live & Maintain: Part 1- Saving

It would be a myth to think that I could explain how I feel its best to Live & Maintain all in one post. So therefore this is the first instalment of the 3 S' Trilogy- (Saving, Spending & Stunting). Saving- by far the most important yet most overlooked aspect of this topic. Good financial management and young people seem to be as familiar with each other as an overweight person and a vegetable salad. The problem with this is that like it or not, money moves the world whilst a lack of it moves nothing. Look at the financial...

Greener Grass

As far as I'm aware the source of this saying is unknown but it is likely to be undoubtedly one saying that has been repeated by everyone reading this:  "The grass is always greener on the other side."                    Have you ever looked out over your back garden (those fortunate enough to own one) and compared your grass to that of your neighbours? I recall growing up in Kent admiring the glorious green on the right side of our fence and turning a similar colour with envy...

Expectation

"When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required". Luke 12:48 In my opinion, expectation is one concept that is rarely subject to debate despite the fact it plays such a pivotal role in all of our lives. We all expect things. We expect to be treated in a respectable manner. We expect our families to love us unconditionally. We expect to be looked after by those we class as friends. With these examples being common, they are only a handful of the hundreds...

Film Review: Marvel's Avengers Assemble (2012)

Back when life was one big adventure... One thing that many of you may not know about me is that growing up I was a ridonculous fan of all things Marvel. Comic books, action figures, cartoons... the whole shabang; I had it. So when word broke of the official UK release date for 'Marvel's Avengers Assemble' being this month I must say all of the childhood nostalgia came flushing back.  Let's start with the basics... UK Release Date: April 26th 2012 Genre: Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi Age Certificate: 12 A Run time: 2...

God Sees You

Something that I learnt from this Sunday's service @HillsongLondon: When questioning if God sees you during your despairs just remember that God never stops seeing you. Using the example of ordering food in a restaurant, the pastor was able to explain how we should view God: "If you know the one in charge of your bill has the resources to cover it, it changes how you look at the menu." In other words, when you know that someone's got your bill covered, you can really go to town with your menu, ordering three of the most expensive...

Long time no write!

So, its been about 9 months since I last wrote anything and that truly is shameful. I could list a billion some-what true excuses of why that's the case but it would make more sense to go back to what I know best, and that's ranting about topics I feel are relevant and that I can personally talk on. I can assure you that I am now re-committed to writing as well as I can so know that the best is yet to come. If you enjoy any of my posts, please follow me whether it be on Blogger, Twitter, Facebook or whatever, I take pride in knowing that...

Y.O.L.O.... (apparently)

....There is not one topic or theme more relevant at the moment than *drum-roll* please............... Y.O.L.O. So. I've done my homework, checked official records and have reached a shocking conclusion. Apart from those who believe in reincarnation, good ol' Drizzy Drake is right, you do only live once* *please note, anyone who says otherwise is a wizard! Now how many of us, (emphasis being on us as a collective) go absolutely buck-wild when we hear 'The Motto'?  I mean.....  "you only live once, that's the motto n!**a Y.O.L.O!"  Like...
