I have finally come to write my 50th posting on this blog and must follow Lolia's initiative, to thank and appreciate a couple of people. First of all, I must thank God for granting me a good life, though tough sometimes, I cannot complain. There are other people out there who would love to have my life. Ijizzle of bastille of beauty, thank you so much for reintroducing me to blogging and also for the creativity and genius you exude on a daily. Whether it be with your blog, your hair, your clothing, the bag/purse design( She is very good), you are truly an inspiration. I must not forget Dj Don 1 and Mr Elite, Michael Samuel. You both have been friends that can always be counted on, been there when called upon. Here is my special prayer. God, I ask of you to continually bless Open Secret( U are number 1), Gba be, Mr Jimi Chu, Steven the body builder and ofcourse, the one and only A-town. Your efforts on me will duly be rewarded by the giver of blessings.
What kind of person would I be if I do not thank Irene and Ify for the love and care you have shown me in time recent. Your clean hearts, good will and hard work will definitely be rewarded by God.
Special Mentions to my roomies, The Igbinedion Brothers, you two have been great and have been there through thick and thin.
Pastor Ralph Dartey and the Yeboah family, I want to say a big thank you for all your prayers and efforts towards me. May God prosper, multiply and enlarge your territory.
I also will take this opportunity to say safe journey to Pipi. Have a safe trip to the motherland. You are very much in my thought and just thought I let you know that you are a darling, beautiful and smart. Your hard work will not be overlooked by God himself.
What kind of son would I be if I do not appreciate my family. The ones who have molded me. All your tender loving care down the years, your constant prayer and unquenchable unequivocal love would I not forget and make the cornerstone of my heart. May God in his infinite mercies grant you all your dearest heart desires and make me the success you all have craved and worked for me to be. Daddy and Mummy, I love you.
Lastly, I must thank all those who have shown me care and love through the years.Whether it be at Carleton or SOC, Ottawa or Hamilton, I must say thank you. To the one who I have shared my most vulnerable moments in the last year with, I have always and will always love you.You know who you are. To Papillo, Wilfred and Michael Adicco,Abu, Awe, Chigo "Pretty" Aniemena, Ohita, Toke, King NSO, Kweku Winful, Bruce Addo, Jayden, Shewit, ella, D1, and the list goes on and on, I appreciate and will not trade any time I have spent with any of you. It was either fun filled or I learnt something from you. To Debs A, you are a rare gem.

FORGIVENESS
To begin this post today, I have come to the realization that Bryan Adams is my best artist of all time. Spending more time indoors recently, has allowed me much more time to listen to music, read notes and all that stuff and I could not get over how good Bryan Adams is. I have always known him to be good, just did not realize he was my best artist of all time...
Anyways to the reason for today's posting...The word for the day is FORGIVENESS. I have searched many places for what forgiveness is, and this is what I think describes it best.
Many a times in our lives, we are wronged by someone we had so much trust and confidence, and even even more so, sure they would not hurt us and in truth, they are the most likely to hurt you and hurt you enough to not want to forgive them. Hurt you enough to hold resentments towards yourself, others and those who hurt us. That we have been hurt by these people makes forgiving seem so difficult and scared. It makes the bibles principal teachings of forgiveness seem so complicated. In the bible, it says, “But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also.” Luke 6:27-29 (NIV). Also, it says, "TO ERR IS HUMAN, and TO FORGIVE IS DIVINE."
To make forgiveness seem easy, I forbid myself to do. It takes a lot to forgive. A lot of sacrifice and denial but in truth, you are better off forgiving someone than holding the resentment to yourself. A key part of forgiveness is that you free up your mind and I can guarantee you a happier life. Studies show that people who forgive are happier and healthier than those who hold resentments. The first study to look at how forgiveness improves physical health discovered that when people think about forgiving an offender it leads to improved functioning in their cardiovascular and nervous systems. Another study at the University of Wisconsin found the more forgiving people were, the less they suffered from a wide range of illnesses. The less forgiving people reported a greater number of health problems.
More important though is the fact that forgiveness can be learned. People who are taught how to forgive are found to be less angry, feel less hurt, are more optimistic, become more forgiving in a variety of situations, and become more compassionate and self-confident. Forgiving people and letting them know they are forgiven is also an integral step. Letting them know they have been forgiven helps them forgive themselves, change their otherwise saddening, regrettable life to one filled with the joy of the weight you have lifted off their shoulder.
The last step in forgiving is to make sure you not only forgive but you forget. Forgetting would require you to act good and 'normally' to the one you have forgiven, giving them a chance to prove they are changing or have changed. More on the note of FORGETTING later, though most believe these two, go hand in hand and hence the quote, "FORGIVE AND FORGET".
Have a great day and watch out for my 50th post as this is my 49th post since I started this blog...It will be a special post.

"It is the process of concluding resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offense, difference or mistake, and ceasing to demand punishment or restitution.

INSTALLING A WIFE
Dear Tech Support,
Last week, my WIFE 1.0 made a complaint about how slow my overall performance is.I must say that the COOKING 4.2 and BODY MASSAGE 5.3 which operated flawlessly when I was still using GIRLFRIEND 5.0 seem to be nonexistent now.
In addition, WIFE 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as SEX 9.5 and ADVENTURE 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as
WORK 5.0,
BABY CARE 3.0 and
YOU CAN HELP TOO 4.1.
To its credit, Conversation 8.0 runs as normal, and Housecleaning 2.6 is even greater now.
Please note that I have tried running IGNORE 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed,
Indifferent.
DEAR INDIFFERENT,
First, keep in mind,
GIRLFRIEND 5.0 is an Entertainment and Bragging Package, while WIFE 1.0 is an operating system.
Please enter command: youarenotthegirlIusedtoknow. html and try to download CONVERSATION 6.2 and do not forget to install the APOLOGY 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed,WIFE 1.0 should then automatically run the applications FOOD 2.0, SEX 9.5 and download the waitingformyhusbandtogethome torrent.
However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause WIFE 1.0 to default to ALCOHOL 2.5, MOOD SWING 7.0 or the MUST WE HAVE SEX EVERYDAY system update.
Please note that ALCOHOL 2.5 is a very bad program that will download the TIRED and ALWAYS SLEEPING virus.
Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)
In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the GIRLFRIEND5.0-program .These are unsupported applications and will crash WIFE 1.0 and in the long run your CPU(marriage) and PC(LIFE).
In summary, WIFE 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0, CONVERSATION 8.0, TENDER LOVING CARE 7.6 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck, DUDE!

Sharks In Your Life
The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades.
So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste.
To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish.
The frozen fish brought a lower price. So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste.
The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish. So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan ? If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend?
How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh:
To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.
Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time tired & dull, so we need a Shark in our life to keep us awake and moving?
Basically in our lives Sharks are new challenges to keep us active and taste better..... The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you enjoy a challenge.
If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily conquering those challenges, you are Conqueror.. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. You have fun. You are alive!
Recommendations for us:
1. Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them. Beat the heck out of them. Enjoy the game. If your challenges are too large or too numerous, do not give up. Failing makes you tired. Instead, reorganize. Find more determination, more knowledge, more help.
2. God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.
3. Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards.. Don't stay on the bumps too long. Move on!
4. When you feel down because you didn't get what you want, just sit tight and be happy, because God has thought of something better to give you. When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means. There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.
5. No one can go back and make a brand new start. But anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

INSTALLING A HUSBAND
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as
NBA 5.0,
NFL 3.0 and
Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate.
DEAR DESPERATE,
First, keep in mind,
Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme. html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0or Beer 6.1.
Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)
In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program .These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend
Cooking 3.0 and
Hot Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck, Babe!
