Re: "I'm an alcoholic"

Dear Trew Life,

I can’t put down alcohol. Whenever I try to go a day without it, I feel like I might faint and die. How could I stop drinking the stuff? Any suggestions?

Marlane

Dear Marlane

Addiction is far more controlling than people would like to admit. There was a time when I was smoking weed every day! It helped me become creative (so I thought). But after awhile, I realized that I didn’t want to depend on some drug in order to create something with the talent that God had already given me.

Do I smoke now and again? We’ll keep that a mystery.

But in order to tear myself away from the stuff, I would put it up in a spot that was very uncomfortable to get to. I also threw myself into different writing projects that I was working on. I tried to substitute my addiction to weed with addiction to something more positive. I prayed more, and wanted to develop a connection. To be honest, I believe that weed helped me focus when praying, and I started to have more of a connection with God.

So try and invest more of your time doing things that are not surrounded by alcohol. Eventually, you’ll learn to go at least a couple of days or weeks without it.

Lesson On Building Blog Readers and Clients for Businesses

As many of you know, especially from my last post, I am a God fearing man. I believe that as followers of Christ we should always put God first in everything that we acquire to achieve. I don’t mean to come off preachy, but when God says there’s something for me to share, I know it will not only benefit my readers, it will also benefit me spiritually. I know, as well, that it’ll benefit my blog’s growth in readership.

I know many of you are scratching your heads, wondering what the hell the title of the post means, and I’m more than happy to tell you.

The other day, inspired by a gut feeling, I opened my bible directly to 2 Chronicles Verse 10, Chapter 7 and read:

“They said, ‘If you will be a servant to this people, be considerate of their needs and respond with compassion, work things out with them, they'll end up doing anything for you.’”

The Post

This is very much the case with your blogs and websites. This is the case in regards to your business and family relationships. It’s also the case if you’re a business owner and you have fickle customers and clients.

The scripture said, “…be considerate of their needs.” This means providing your readers or customers with products or prose that suit their educational or financial growth.

1. Blog Example

People are slightly filtering through your blog, but no one is staying and clicking through it. By writing posts that teach, inspire, or entertain them, you keep them coming back. Ask them what type of information they’d like to know about (What things would my Trew Life readers like me to focus more on?).

2. Business Example

You have a few clients, but nothing special. You have been trying to figure out a way to receive more business, then you learn to ask your clients what they feel is lacking from the industry. Whatever it is they want, you should try and supply it, within the confines of your industry. Unless, of course, you’re thinking out of the box, and come up with something awesome that beautifully merges together two different genres or industries. TL

The middle half of the scripture says, “…respond with compassion.” In order to respond with compassion, you have to have a strong desire in your heart to alleviate any stress that the reader or client has due to their ignorance of your helpful prose (blog or website) or products (business). Anyone who is successful will tell you that you have to embody passion for what you do. The bible gives us Business 101!

The last part of the passage concludes, “…work things out with them, they'll end up doing anything for you."

3. Work Things Out

Of course, work things out with them means to work out an arrangement where you can offer your service (whether it be inspiration blog posts about financial gain, spiritual enlightenment, or baking a cake) in a way that satisfies your readers or clients, as well as yourself.

4. The Rewards

If the above suggestions are put into practice, your readers or clients will end up doing anything for you, and this could stretch miles with imagination.

Trew Words

Suppose you wrote a book, and because you’ve been so good at providing relevant informational posts on your blog, about 1/3 of your readers buys that book. You see where I’m going here? Or if you make sure you send a client a card thanking him/her for their business, when they are able to provide you with something, they will give it to you without restraint.

But anyone who is kind hearted can tell you that you shouldn’t be a prick towards people. That won’t keep them coming back. They won’t appreciate you, and your business or opinion won’t be worth the dirt they walk on. Like I said earlier, they can be very fickle.

I’m elated that God was able to direct me to that passage, and I could give you a few tips on making your product (prose, service, or physical product) stand out. Take this as vital information. Feel free to read to passage for yourself, and do some studyingby clicking on this link: 2 Chronicles 10:7

This message has been brought to you prophetically through Trew Life over at Trew Life Advice.

I’d love to hear your response on the topic, so mEet Me iN tHe ComMeNts section, and we can chop it up.

Until the next post, my inspirational readers, much love, peace, and medicated hair grease.

P.S. (Post Script) After dissecting the passage (2 Chronicles 10:7) I decided to read more of the story, and found out that lots of the people were beseeching King Rehoboam to go easy on them with the rules and punishments. Rehoboam was a king of the ancient Kingdom of Judah, succeeding his father Solomon. His grandfather was David. He was the third king of the House of David and the first of the Kingdom of Judah. His name means he who enlarges the people.

So Rehoboam went to his elders and asked their opinions of how he should respond to the people. The scripture (2 Chronicles 10:7) was the elder’s response.

Re: "My girlfriend is acting like a crazy bitch"

Dear Trew Life,

Can you please help me understand something. My girlfriend is mad at me because I didn’t say anything when she asked me if I thought she’d gained weight since she had our son about 3 months ago. I chose to pretend like I was too into the episode of I Love New York to hear her. SO she goes crazy -n- tells me that I don’t care about her and shes a big fat joke and I didn’t say that. When I told her she looks very good to have just had a baby she whined and said she didn’t know why she even asked me, because I didn’t know what I was talking about in the first place.

I thought she’d only be emotional like this during pregnancy I didn’t think I would have to deal with it almost every day. Im having some second thoughts about our relationship and proposing to her. Help me understand man.

Chris

______________________________________________________

Wassup Chris,

I’m going to tell you a story, and Chris, I want you to pay attention. I aint just saying it for my health.

You have to appreciate her more than you do.

In the Bible a story took place in Bethany, where a woman brought a great treasure to Jesus. She carried an alabaster jar filled with ointment. Right in front of the shocked eyes of the disciples, she emptied the expensive perfumed over Jesus' head.

The disciples cried out in dismay. "Why this waste? For this ointment could have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to the poor." They understood charity. They understood giving to the poor, yet they could not understand this woman's actions.

Jesus, however, responded, "Why do you trouble the woman? She has performed a good service for me." He saw this woman's actions as service, as serving. More, she demonstrated an awareness of the coming death of Christ. Jesus said, "By pouring this ointment on my body she has prepared me for burial." The service the disciples would have rejected, the Master accepted and commended.

Too often they are told, as this woman was, that the service they offer for the body of Christ is unwelcome or spiritually wrong. Jesus offered encouragement, however. He said, "Truly I tell you, wherever this good news is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her." We need to remember the brave woman with a jar of oil and all the other women in the Bible and in our history. They’ll help you appreciate what you have, Chris.

I’m sure that if you left her, you’d find someone else with some issue you wouldn’t like. Trust me, you probably have some problems she isn’t thrilled about. But she makes due, just like you should.

You plan on marrying this woman, Chris. I’d say stick it out, and if you feel the same way about her in the next 3 to 6 months, then stop the entire relationship. Some people just aren’t meant to be together. But if you come to this conclusion, make sure you part ways with respect for her. I mean, the chick pushed something the size of a watermelon out of something the size of a lemon. Respect her, damnit! She is also your child's mother. You two owe it to that child to be kind to one another and try and get along. I know it's not easy, bruh, but you have to try.

If you still need more help, don’t hesitate to send a request to lrl.advice@hotmail.com and write in the subject line: Sponsored. Let me know, in the Email, if you want the rest of our interaction to be secret. I list my fees so you’ll know how much I charge for extra advice (meditation and further conversation via telephone). Or you can just pay an easy $5.00 dollars and I’ll send a one page report back to you, giving you an idea of what you should do, what you couldn’t see in the past, and what to expect in the future.

Asleep Beneath the Flowers

Does My Immortal Soul Have A Price Tag?

I was interested in gathering more information about the Kabbalah. I wanted to understand some of the teaching that Jesus Christ (or Yashua) followed and believed.

I conducted a Google! search and put in the true name of God, Yahweh, the English reading of יהוה (the Tetragrammaton), the name of the God of the Jews or the people of Israel.

I stumbled across a website called Kabbalah.com. It seemed so filled with wisdom and hope. I was taken by the promise to show people the way of the kabbalist.

When I called their 1-800 number, a man answered by the name of Moshe. He kept asking me if there were things in my life that I wanted to have changed. I told him that I wanted more of a spiritual connection with God.

“Do you wish to have a certain job, or do you wish to make more money?” he asked me. I thought to myself, WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH HIM? I just told him that I am content with where I’m at as long as I know where I’m going. I wanted more spiritual guidance.

Then he goes on to tell me that I need to purchase their Zohar, which is $490 dollars, or something in the $400 dollar price range. He tells me I need to purchase another book, which is $199, plus shipping and handling on both the books would come up to $40 bucks…

Okay…

Did they honestly expect me to pay that much? I guess, some practices require a lot of money, but any spiritual guidance or practice that costs me over $600 dollars can wait.

These spiritualists say, “There should be no price tag on your immortal soul.” I say, “BULLSHIT!” If I could afford a $600 dollar book I’d probably spend that money to make my own spiritual course, and promise people the same things these phony psychics promise: love, relationships, and money.

I Dreamt. Was America Being Attacked?

I had the craziest dream that last night. I haven’t experienced a dream like this one in a long time.

Dreams seem like fabrications of our imagination, strung together from past experiences to create a feeling and emotion.

Emotions.

Feelings.

Thoughts.

Warnings? But I ask myself, “Self?”

Self says, “Yes, Self?”

“What is the significance of dreams? Where do they come from? Why do they exist?”

The dream (Paraphrased)

I was in a car with my favorite cousin, and a close mutual friend of ours, who passed away last year. We were on our way to a University for something; I can’t remember.

*This section is blank… There is no memory of it*

Next thing I know, we’re walking across the campus, and we hear a loud explosion. It vibrated so hard, sending shivers up and down my body. The impact of the blast caused my vision to become unfocused somewhat.

When I looked into the sky, I saw a ball of flames. I knew, at that moment, the war made its way to America. I panicked, hit the ground and covered up my head. My cousin picked my stiff body up, and screamed, “What the fuck are you lying down for? Do you want to get blown up?”

We started running across the campus, balls of fire climbing high in the sky, followed by a squirting sound. Screams of other individuals rang through the night, causing that elusive feeling of utter terror beyond image and belief.

As I was running toward one of the park lots, I felt the ground shaking underneath me. I looked down and saw the concrete cracking, a glowing, hot stream of lava pushing its way through the ground. Suddenly, the lava trail stopped...

Silence... I realized that these things were not exploding simultaneously.

BOOM! The ground exploded, shards of concrete, rock, and dirt went flying into the air, along with a ball of fire. My heart stopped, but I knew I had to make my way to my car.

When the fire ball stopped climbing to the heavens, it disappeared into the night sky, and this purple-looking liquid sprang from the busted concrete. Some of the liquid fell on my face, and arm, burned the shit out of me.

I ran to the parking lot where my car was supposed to be at, and I found nothing. My car was missing. Contrary to the actions I may have performed in my dream, I am a very nice young man, but during those few moments, I made up in my mind to hot-wire someone’s car and get the fuck up out of there.

A friend of mine started the car up, how, I didn’t bother to ask.

Next, Reese Witherspoon came up to me, hair the color of hay, and looked at me cross. She walked up to this white car that I choose to steal.

“Terry, what are you doing?” she asked me.

“This isn’t my car. I know this. But I am not about to be walking around here on foot while these things blow up right under my slow walking feet!” I screamed.

“As an officer of the law, I’m going to have to ask you to escort the vehicle or you’ll be charged with grand theft auto.”

“What?” I asked. She wasn’t making any sense. When did she go to law school (besides Legally Blonde 1 and 2)?

Then, what saved my life at that moment (because I was going to go to jail or get blown up) happened.

My phone rang, and I woke up. I was grunting and tossing myself back and forth. It seemed like some shit right out of a movie. It’s been so long since I’ve had a dream like that. I wonder what it meant.

Aren't We All Entitled To A Fuckin' Opinion?

I can’t image not ever seeing the movie Déjà Vu. It was a wonderful story, in my opinion. Of course, this is just my opinion. But what words don’t I put on my blog that aren't opinionated?

On to other news…

*Turns and faces another camera angle*

The high school I attended and graduated from, Toledo School for the Arts, wanted a grant in order to do some programs for local students. They wanted to get more frosh high schoolers participating in activities involved more in the arts during the summer. But guess fuckin’ what! The $200,000 dollars they needed in order to start the project isn’t available because it’s being sent to participate in the WAR THAT OUR PRESIDENT THINKS IS AIDING EVERYONE!

Ya know, I think Bush thinks those real people fighting in the war are like his human G.I. Joes or something. Who really spends 2 BILLION dollars a day on a war and nothing is getting better?

And how in the fuck were people actually actively trying to impeach former president, Clinton for getting his dick sucked, but we can’t do shit about Bush-

Now, wait. I know you’ll say, “Tee, man, it’s hard as hell to get a president impeached.”

But I find it FUCKED up that Lincoln and Kennedy were assassinated, but Bush is still throwing motherfuckas overseas to fight in the war. This doesn’t mean I wish any harm to our president. I just don’t like the way he is running the country (You say, “Tell us something we all aren’t thinking.”), and I feel good presidents shouldn't have deserved to die while one of the worst presidents waves his arms in the air and speaks bullshit with enthusiasm.

I'll admit, he must have studied Adolf Hitler, because he used the same tactic that killer used: he spoke well and deceived. But I tell you my opinion, because, like I said earlier in this post (go on and look at what I said in the first paragraph), this is an opinionated blog.

P.S (post-script). Can someone please tell my how Clinton getting his dick sucked by some slutty looking woman was costing us 2 BILLION dollars? Was he using gold covered condoms or something?

Pushing This Book from My Vagina...??

I found myself on the floor, literally, cursing Writingup for not allowing me to post about my thoughts, problems, and concerns for the past two days. I don’t know if it was just the location I was in, but I wasn’t able to access anything.

Guess what, ya’ll…

I have written 75, 536 words on my novel, A Bitch’s Gospel. I have 5,000 more to go before I am officially finished with the first draft. I’m so happy I could just shit. This is like pushing an eight-pound baby from my imaginary vagina.
