Up or down


\

To be frank, I've never understood the whole female/male brooohaaa over the toilet seat being up or down. To me, if it was down, good. If it was up, I'd pop it back down. But in American movies they seem to make a HUGE deal out of it [couple fights].

An incident amused me last week at a gig. I went to the bathroom, and it was a unisex toilet. It was occupied and I was waiting patiently for my turn a few feet away from it. My friend, a guy, came out of the bathroom. And I started to head towards the door. He gave me one quick look, turned around, slipped back into the bathroom and plopped the seat down. Then he came out with a sheepish grin on his face.

I was thoroughly amused. It was nice of him to do it though I didn't expect it and I wouldn't have been annoyed if I had to do it myself. 'Well-trained American' came to mind. He'd probably make a really obliging husband. Too bad I'm not interested.

I thought the whole issue with the toilet seat is about men urinating with the seat down and splashing all over it? I would be much more bothered by this than a simple flipping the seat up or down. If it's down I flip it up, if it's up I keep it up. Much easier than all the fluid and wiping and splash and stuff. :)

Love Alicia...but....

I've loved Alicia Keys since I was a teenager. She's gorgeous, talented, with an impeccable image of ghetto funkiness plus classy elegance. Love her voice and love her ideas. But....the lyrics....have more often than not been ...disappointing. I do think this article provides accurate critique of her work.

More Faith....in a GOOD GOD

Today, Miss '爆炸头' - a.k.a Winnie, a chick with a HUGE afro-ish Scary Spice hair-do prayed for me. She doesn't know me, but turned around after service and offered to pray for me. A few things came up during the prayer. She didn't specifically prophesy. But the way she was praying, she was getting stuff from the Spirit. She prayed Prov 4:18 ( The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day)  over me, for some time, stating that God would lead me, and the path would become brighter and brighter, clearer and clearer. I was to have faith. More faith that God would lead me safely and surely. She also stated the need to seek God even more through prayer for his presence and guidance (guilty. It's been difficult to be disciplined about prayer). She prayed and declared that my work would be the platform for many good things God wanted to do through me. The work and the position I had in my work was important, she...
