Cough, cough, go away come again...NEVER!!
Another week has gone by, and another week I've dealt with this cough. It's hard to sing with all your might and deal with a cough. And the weather here ain't helping. It keeps getting hot and cold, hot and cold. Now I know God doesn't hate anybody, but sometimes it feels like God has it for the upstate south carolina area. I know ever since I can remember, the weather has not been consistent here. So it's really no wonder a lot of people get sick. Like I said in one of my videos, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsVdm4hNiMg, if you're going to come to the upstate area of south carolina, please, for your own health, pack for every season of the year. Trust me, on that. Like I said, I'm still dealing with this cough. I've gone through like 2 bottles each of NyQuil and Dayquil. I've had cough drops galore. Before you ask, no I haven't been to the doctor. The reason I haven't been to the doctor is because I have no health insurance. I have no job. As much as my dad worries about money, I don't want to add to the trouble. So, that's why I haven't been to the doctors. I'm asking for prayer for me. I hinted to this earlier, I'm in the choir at church as most of y'all know. I've been dealing with this cough for weeks. I don't even know how many. I'm believing God for a healing, and until then, I'm going to continue to the best of my ability sing in the choir.
So I was in my boy Yungtown's live chat room for the last like 20-30 minutes of it and a discussion came up on what is missing in today's Christian music. My answer to that question was substance and realness. I think people have the the tendency to write and say something because it sounds good to the listener. Now let me say that I do think that a small part of any music artist goal is to entertain, but that shouldn't be the major goal. The major goal should not be to necessarily preach, but I think it should be to teach and give some substance to the hearers. Weather if its your testimony, or if it's something that caught your eye in the Bible that touched you and you want to share it. All Gospel artists, I feel, should pray and talk to God before going to make an EP or a mixtape and ask, "What is it you want me to say to the listeners?" It's not about us, but it's about Jesus. I know everybody is saying that line now, but it's a true statement anyhow.
Is it just me, or are the so called top teams in the NBA falling off a little bit? A few nights ago, Lakers lost to the Bobcats. The Celtics barely beat the Bobcats the other night. The Cavs got murdered, MURDERED, tonight (4/3/09) against the Magic. So, are the top teams falling off, or are they saving it up for the playoffs? I'm going to throw this out there, and don't be shocked if it happen. I can easily see a team that doesn't have a winning record, winning it all. Yes, I said it.
I'm working on a story, again. Yes I know I've worked on plenty of stories throughout the years, and most of them, I didn't even finish. There will be no judging of me not finishing stories. Not cool. So yeah, I'm working on a new one. Don't have a title for it yet. I'm waiting to see where I go with the story first to come up with a title that works. If you want to see what I got so far check out my other blogspot: http://bigdstories.blogspot.com
If you're not following me on twitter, shame on you. You're missing out!! Not really, but if you want to follow me, my username is BigDusty864. Also, if you like what I'm doing with these blogs, feel free to advertise. I don't mind at all. Get at me on AIM as well: Bigddrums. I don't get much ims anymore. Of course I don't im them, but no judging. No judging.
So y'all please, pray for me. Not only for the cough, but that I get off my lazy butt and do something. Rocky Balboa said it best, "If you stay in a place long enough, you are that place." That's how I'm starting to feel with this house.
I'm done. Just one more nugget. Joshua 1:8 in the New Living Translation says, "Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do." I think that verse explains itself, don't you? Y'all be good.
Stay saved,
Daniel aka Big Dusty

lol, lmbo, haha....SHUT UP
Don't judge me for the title, it was the most creative thing I could think of, k? So I got a comment for the last blog that said it was difficult to follow the blog because I kept showing what I was listening to. I got that concept from Matt Hardy, who is the WWECW Champion and also one of my favorite wrestlers WWE offers right now. Anyway he sometimes types random blogs, but he calls them "Cryptic Blogs." In those particular blogs he types out random stuff sometimes with hidden messages in them, and in the midst he types out what he's listening to on his iPod. So I figured I should add to my randomness and do it myself. Not necessary the hidden messages thing, but the thing with showing what I'm listening to. It makes this feel more like a diary you know? FYI, I'm listening to "You Are God" by Voices of Unity.
So there's a video out there that y'all really need to check out in my opinion. It's basically a video rant on what happened on this past "Black Friday." Where a guy got trampled to death while shoppers rushed in a Wal-Mart to get whatever they could with the deal. Some of y'all know of Chris Thompson aka Jungleboy. He's the one that did the rant. The link to his youtube is: http://www.youtube.com/supricky06. The video is right on the page as of this moment. It's a real touching video. Now my opinion of the whole sitution? I think that's extremely sad that we as a society are so driven by material things that we seem to live and die by them. Chris said it in the video that the Holiday season is not about the gifts, it's about spending time with your family. I made a comment on the video saying that we need to start enjoying life. We need to teach the next generation what's right and wrong. We need some real parents, not the new millenium parent, because that doesn't seem to be working. Anyway check out the video, and share your thoughts with him. And if you want to know because you're noisy, I'm currently listening to "Praise Him" by Byron Cage.
I hope y'all had a good Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. We made food like we were feeding a football team besides 4 people. So if y'all hungry for some leftovers, we got more than plenty. The food was good though. It's become a tradition that my sister has to get the first plate. I don't know why or how it actually became a tradtition, but for the past how many years, she's always got the first plate. It's truly insane.
Back to the "Black Friday" thing for just a sec, I just saw something in the newspaper that said that two people were shot to death in a crowded toy store. Are you freaking kiddin' me? Brad Pitt said something in the movie Fight Club, "Things you own end up owning you." People stop letting things own you because of you let material things own you, things like this happens.
So some nights ago, I was honored to be one of two people to write a review for a mixtape. Two of my friends Yungtown and PraiZe collabed on the mixtape and they did a tremendous job. It's a Gospel rap mixtape. I recommend y'all to check it out. It's a free download, and it's worth it. Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?i1zziujmtyg. I was in a chatroom last night, because Yung and PraiZe was on a online radio show promoting the mixtape. This chatroom reminded me of why I left messageboards. Some of these people were more annoying than watching an episode of Mind of Mencia.
Aight y'all thanks for reading. To all the followers, subscribers, readers. If you haven't, please subscribe and I try to keep these interesting. Stay saved.
