Random thoughts pt.2 (year in review ...a lil early)

-Well it kinda feels like this year has gone by pretty quick...we're already at October? Wow..well hey I'm all about making memories...and ya ...I've gotten to partake in a few:

-My friends Ken and Sara getting married (heck ...Ken letting me know that they got engaged...that was awesome ...they're going to make believers out of me)...

-Me getting out of the game of Magic for a while..ya that was a pretty big step...been playing that game for a long time now ...and honestly ...it was something that was special...but I looked at it this way..I ain't working at the moment...and I was honestly spending way too much money on something that I couldn't and shouldn't be. I also wanted to become a better player ...and focus not so much on the color green or the Elves tribe..so well I think by the time I come around to it again...it'll be something else alright....

 -Me getting better with these mental illness problems...I've felt like I have been coming to the other side of this struggle of mine...it's been a long period of my life...and well it's taken a lot from me...its time that I have taken everything back and moved forward...the things that have helped me , I'm grateful for , the things that have challenged me...heh...heh...ya ...I like you too...I am becoming the man that God wants me to be...and THAT is something that I WANT TO BE...

-Turning 29...ya know something...I got to see a couple people that I haven't seen in a while...got to drink with a friend that people said ...ya shouldn't drink with anymore...AND we had a great time...and I felt comfortable with what was going on...I'm hanging on to my 20's for dear life...but truthfully? I've never felt better...I can't wait to live another 30 years...and see what life has store for me.

-Watching the 2010 Winter Games...and Watching Canada win the Gold medal in both men's and women's hockey...that was something truly magical ..my pride was beaming...being a fan of the sport that I love so much..

-People finally seeing what I've been 'preaching' for years now and finally believing it ....Soon...The NHL...and the Winnipeg Jets...shall return to Winnipeg....for good and for many good years of success. Why ? It's all coming together...the teams that I was watching (see the thing is since this whole 'Return of the Jets' thing started I did my watching...I watched attendance...of those teams losing lots and lots  of money and the thing that I noticed...it kept going down...and I also watched places like Minnesota...and they have been solid , continues to keep being near the top...and I think with the MTS centre having the size it does...you will have people LINING up to want tickets..people will be getting together in groups and buying tickets...it's always to me the thing, I've always believed in Winnipegers that love hockey... and I honestly don't feel we are a cheap people

- Just becoming happy with me...This year has been a big stepping stone so far...and honestly ...I can't wait for the things to come ...the challenges and everything that is in my path...just hold on tight folks...Andy Hall is becoming the man he was always meant to be

Random thoughts...

I just thought that ...I really would feel better just type what's on my mind....I'm all aboot randomness sometimes...and honestly I find the order to the crazyness and it feels like it comes together in the end...to mean something...or heck...maybe its just there to vent...or make ya laugh...anyway you spin it...I type better then I write...and blog's really are just a public journal...and also I really don't care what people think about what I have to say...(I'm really funny like that...and I know people have a right to there opinion) so that in mind...here we go...

- I hate making plans...When ya make plans honestly it opens up two options...1) Hope for what is to come ...and 2) Disappointment in what might prevent what you planned from happening...Now I know that people have life to deal with...and I ain't going to falter people on that ...what I am going to do is separate my hope from plans...I have hope in many things...God...Life..People...my kids understanding that I have gone through a lot of things to get here....The Return of the Winnipeg Jets(some people might think that 'its a plan in your eyes' No...honestly if anyone is LOGICALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO ATTENDANCE AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY TEAMS IN PLACES THAT THEY DON'T BELONG ARE LOSING....then they would come to the conclusion to ...'it should return to a place where it has a strong fan base and can work with our better structure to the league'.)  But honestly I've come to the conclusion that spending your time and emotional connection to hoping about something that might not happen...is really futile...I fly by the seat of my pants because honestly...you can just go , go , go..."plan" things on the fly...and if they happen ...great ! Cause its then and there...if not...Fly off to another thing...

- 'You are too good for me' Things I was told about the girls I thought highly of and wanted to at least have a chance with going out with .Thoughts like that make me believe they didn't believe  in themselves...I think really that's a cop out anyway...I know I was too good...you gals like the A**holes...and ya ...Im far better then one of those guys ...but really I didn't need to hear the complaining of how they treated you...but I chose to cause I was just ..'too good' no...I don't think I am too good for anyone...Im good enough for the right person...who that right person is? Can be anyone...Id prefer it to be a friend of mine but thats just my opinion...cause I really don't wanna build  emotions that I think should already be there...mind you some people might say 'but thats the fun of being in a relationship' ...that really isn't fun...cause yur trying to build something ...while being intimate at the same time...and you have conflicting emotions and stuff...but hey...thats just my analytical mind ...working away

- I really dislike bullying ...honestly it's something that I stand for ...it's something that gets my anger boiling ...ya see  I was bullied back in the day...all through elementary... and all the way to junior high school...for the way I looked...the way I talked...how I dressed...the fact I came from a poor home...ya ...it really wasn't a pretty site...I mean I had like 20 guys waiting to beat the crap out of me on more then one occasion..and the beginning of those kinds of bullies that were more then those 'troubled kids on the play ground' those cold calculating men and women that were just horrible...Kids will be kids is no longer an excuse ...I've been watching these news reports of kids killing themselves because of the bullying that they've had to endure...and its really sickening..

-I could really go for some Wendy's right now...a couple of Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers and a Salad...and a baked potato...some fries and a frosty...omgoodness...craving that so bad...

-heck...I could go for some grill cheese right now...just need me some bread...

-Well thats it for today...man...Friday's since I've cut things out of my life...have really become...boring...

The "What If?" Series - Part 1 : "What if the Bible was written today?"

    So  I thought that I would try and have some structure to some of these ...I actually wrote some "Blog Ideas" down on a sheet of paper...some things that have been on my mind and I thought ...for my 'First' official blog on something other then a introduction, I would take a look at a question that left me hanging with a lot of thoughts...


   Ok a few things that you might want to know about me ...I really like the idea of time travel, I like to think about how things would ' ve turned out , WHAT IF? storylines actually, In fact ...my favorite comics are the What If series and the Dc Comics version 'Elseworlds' ...telling you the alternate version of a story....but with out going totally nerd....I had a thought enter my mind after I left church Sunday....

  "What if the Bible was written today?" or "What if what happened in the New Testament , happened today?" I had a vision of many things....Like reading blog's of the disciples....or tweets...there being total gospels being on a computer....ya see  it says in the Bible that "Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written." -John 21:25
   Now that might be true...but I thought about today...you look at whole book series being stuck on a computer...heck you got Terrabyte external hardrives out there...YOU can these days be able to do what could not be done back in the day...heck...if the Bible was written today...would that line even be in the book of John? I honestly can't tell..

  It honestly does like ...give a person...believer or not ...things to think about ...heck it honestly makes more questions....would it be written just today from the scrolls? What if what happened in the New Testament happened today? What happened if it was the Old Testament that happened in the newer age of man too? I started thinking how people communicate... what kinda languages people use to communicate...what languages were used in the Bible...How people report things ...how society really is ...and I thought ....what would it all look like ...if you took the Christian faith (A faith that I share with other Christians) and the word of the Bible ...and you tried to transfer it today ... 

  Things started to come together....like imagine you tuning in on a news website...or channel on your T.V. and there being non-stop coverage of the "Trial of Jesus" , or there being coverage of all his miracles , his sermons, interviews and peoples views ....I mean some of the religious leaders could these days be looked at as pundants...you having a 'Fox News' version of Jesus , and a 'MSNBC' view....CNN covering the movement of the disciples. Heck think about this...you know how people are going crazy over the 'Harry Potter' books or the 'Twilight' series...Imagine the craze that people would be going through over the 'Newer books' coming out ....I mean ...the people would become famous...I honestly kinda feel 2000's version of the Bible would be a cross between a gathering of Blogs...Books...Videos ...Interviews..Pictures ..and News channel ..Ya ...I think it would be almost crazy..

So many thoughts ...How people would report things...more facts...videos ...eye witness reports and all that fun stuff of how people report news and stories these days... I mean ...20 % of the World speaks English...next language in line is Mandarin Chinese ...so kinda makes me think how it would be all translated and such...and If you think ....if that all happened these days...the waring nation that Israel is these days....with Palestinians and such...you think that Jesus would've went to them...and how would they have received him? Wow...that's another thought ..Would Jesus throw out the Muslims ? Like he did the money changers?  I think that belief in a resurrection would be harder to believe these days...with computer graphics and visual trickery...if it happened during this time in history..    THERE is so many ways it could have happened ...and so many things that could be produced ...people trying to look up dirt on Jesus ...heck ...can you imagine some of those ridiculous magazines or shows trying to report things on Jesus or the disciples? Man...I could see the headlines now...and yes...I'm already shaking my head...

  Now I'm not taking away anything from the Bible ....it STILL to this day speaks to me ...and a lot of the things in there speak more volumes to people about many issues in the world ...and it gives you a clear way to view Jesus and God...and allows you to build a great relationship with them, But ...someone with a crazy imagination like mine...the mind wonders ...not on the negative per-say...but on the fantastic and inspired...and I'm really just throwing the questions and thoughts around...but I'm glad that we have the Bible to even think about those questions...

It really is like those things you hear about , like "What would Jesus drive? " I personally don't think he would drive...he might bicycle...ya never heard of a fat disciple...ha ha ...but ya..

I really just leave it to you ...whom ever is reading...What do you think would happen if the "New Testament" took place today? Would you have a book titled America? or Canada? like Romans and the others that were sent to other cities...How would the world receive the Word today if it happened today?

Thoughts ? Comments ? Stories that you might think take place? I welcome your opinions , whomever you are...and if ya just read it for the sake of reading it...thanks ! I hope it was worth the read. 


Cheers and God bless!
Andy

First Crack at it...

   I really get stuck these days when it comes to putting my thoughts to either paper or keyboards...but Im finding that Im starting to type faster then I write...( and quite frankly my writing these days is sloppy...and I ain't that great when it comes to grammer...heck I still use the word 'aboot' and think its ok...well Im Canadian dang it ...I DO say Aboot)

  So I decided to try this...its , well it's something ....I don't know who's going to read this...and well I don't think I should care....It's really just therapy for me..so well here goes nothing....

Why the name ? Well its me ...Andy...and I thought ...'well if I was going to have people come hear my thoughts...Id want them to enjoy the best samwich in the world' there's the grill cheese part...and its a lil corner of my mind...Trust me ...you don't want anything more then that..ha...hahahaha.

Things have been going alright though...It's been 2 years plus since Ive gone on disability for my mental health problems and decided to deal with it ...its been a battle ...Ive honestly got to say that Ive run the through the full list of emotions , but Im blessed with life ...and I haven't let it get me yet...I love living ...and I'm going to continue to live ...even when there are times when I don't even wake up.

BAH...but hey...its all aboot the thoughts right? The things that I can put together that might be something to read ...something like I dunno...its going to be a mess but Imma try and have topic try and get all innovative maybe...try and incorporate some music lyrics or quotes and give thoughts on that... ya...been putting thoughts into this ...honest , but this is the first ...what can you expect when it comes to Andy spilling the beans on what he's thinking aboot?

Well plain and simple...Ill just give my opinion...and well Im entitled to it really ...I love that freedom to speak the mind thing... its great....Also ...been using logic a lot ..so you might find some of that floating around . I'm really just going to be typing like no one's reading , I feel that's the best way to get things out there...just me...the thoughts ...and the keyboard...

SOMETHINGS I MIGHT GO INTO :
-Life..its fun to talk about and well hey...its great to admire
-Faith...I got one...not a religion ...that word belongs to society...not me
-Love....Ah.....the great debate on an amazing feeling
-Hope....something to look forward to
- My Life...heck it's my blog right?
- My Friends .....I got a lot of friends...wow...and I always pictured myself as a loner
-Family....oh ya...a touchy subject
-My kids...love them dearly ...but also a touchy subject
-Things I think aboot ....ya...its going to be fun I think...

Ok well there ya go...get ready ....cause the adventure starts soon ....


GRILL CHEESE FOR ALL and God Bless!
