dear shanghai this is gonna be my update of the time i was at island breeze because last time i didnt really fill in the gaps i left a lot of stuff out there is a lot of missing pieces in the puzzle and i want to set the record straight and tell exactly what happened from the moment that turaki dropped me off at island breeze the day he picked me up at mitchelton we had pizza for lunch and i was hanging out with jordans sister jamie who is an awesome singer who loves hip hop and alternative music with equal measure shes got a beautiful voice and im sure she is gonna make a big difference in the music scene in california still my favourite singer of all time is my best friend linah shes got a beautiful voice her singing is amazing shes got this song called free at last that is so catchy it just makes you wanna bust a move and im sure her music is gonnas touch peoples hearts all around the world but i digress i wanna talk about my time at island breeze so i will even if i cant remember everything that happened i will try my best ok so i was there from july two thousand and five to may two thousand and six wish i could say i was there for three hundred and sixty five days but because i got caught out spanking the monkey because i confessed my personal problems to the leaders i got kicked out but maybe i will come back to do an island hopping dts if they are willing to have me let me see i started out working outside raking leaves under the godly supervision of rupeni then i was working inside chopping vegetables learning under the supreme tutelage of my homie simon who knows a thing or two about cooking in fact he is a cooking expert better even than nigella bites jamie oliver and ainsley harriot because his mum raised him to cook he was probably cooking from the moment he came out his mommas tummy :)
ok so why does it seem like i never get to say all the things i mean to say even though i get plenty of time to say them i guess we should all say what we mean but we dont always mean what we say do we i have such a random brain i wish i could get all my thoughts to go in the same direction but then i wouldnt be me so im happy being the random kinda guy that i am seems like people disappear when i come calling oh well that is life such is life this is the way of the world i know ive got friends all around the world cant help it if most of them are sleeping or busy doing other things so back to the story of my time at island breeze i started out cooking in the kitchen chopping vegetables and simon was teaching me how to cook he is also a good friend he gave me the best advice when somebody gets you angry the best thing is to walk away rather than say things in the heat of the moment so basically i just did the same thing every day working in the kitchen sweeping leaves reading the bible eating drinking sleeping talking to people and checking my emails my first roommate was turaki but i called him too lucky he used to come to mitchelton and rap with me sometimes we didnt get along well as roommates but we were good buddies on and off stage in all other respects i think its because im messy and hes noisy so we are the regular odd couple but when he left to teach music in new zealand we left on good terms and too lucky if you are reading this holla back at me homie been a long time come and visit anytime you like word up all my peeps at zilmere aog linah paula elijah elias masi sio julie upu and robbie this ones for you shout out to my homies in sydney tacey tobey and brandon miss you guys heaps wish you never moved shout out to all my homies at island breeze and mitchelton maybe one day i will go back to ywam at the moment im focussing on tesol studies my aim is to teach english to kids in mongolia mum wants me to do some exercise program for people with mental disabilities i dont wanna be a guinea pig but i can see how it might have some benefits like i could make some friends with mental problems to prove that i am not alone in the universe there are other people that are just like me this is a gift not a curse life is what you make it god gives us the raw materials what we choose to do with our lives is up to us we choose whether we want to go to heaven or hell we choose whether we want eggs benedict or grits on toast for breakfast we choose whether to sleep all day in front of the tv or get a job and break our backs working for the man word up to all my homies at island breeze and mitchelton even my canberra homies and melbourne homies maretha and andy and rachel this ones for you homies you know life aint easy and ive got mad respect for missionaires cause it involves a life of faith and devotion and self sacrifice it takes a lot of guts to trust in god for your finances it would be so easy to get a job but you must remember that the man you are working for is god made flesh jesus christ the lord and saviour of our souls my best friend is the creator of the universe as the lads so aptly put it for anyone who likes che fu hes got a new album remember that mad ass song i would never fade away from you well hes back in the flesh baby i love che fu hes the bomb i love samoan music samoans have such beautiful voices i reckon all island people do samoans tongans fijians hawaiians pngers solomon islanders melanesians polynesians micronesians you got game homies trust me i got your back even though speaking eubonics would get me a beatdown in the hoods of america i can take comfort in the fact that i am living in australia in a multicultural society that loves and accepts people from all colours of the rainbow it is funny how television is supposed to reflect the real world and yet i turn on the box and see nothing but white faces with occassional splashings of colour and diversity i wish our soapies would embrace multiculturalism although props to neighbours for having a new zealand asian chick named lori she was the bomb she was pretty as a picture bring back lori neighbours then we will be homies again until then i will keep on watching quality programs such as my wife and kids which makes me laugh my head off and us mob which is a true reflectiuon of aboriginal kids growing up in the bush its funny how the celluloid representation of african american culture is often completely the opposite of real life its funny how kids in the ghetto wanna be like all the rappers and wear expensive jewelry and be promiscuous girls and have sex before marriage but they dont tell you about the consequences like aids and hiv ok well maybe nas does in i can and ive got mad respect for nas for standing up and telling the truth yeah i feel shame for being a guy with the way that guys exploit women for sex come on homies true love waits sex is like a christmas present its more special when you wait and dont spoil the surprise by checking it before christmas thats the way my homie kyle puts it ok so props to my homie robert check out www.oakministries.com cause its got lots of awesome preaching and real life testimonies from my homie robert who did frontiers dts he was the pioneer for frontiers he was a missionary in ethiopia and now hes repping for jesus christ in england ok so im originally from the uk but im repping for jesus christ in caboolture because that is my home now even though i hope to go back to island breeze and be repping for jesus christ there again im still not giving up hope that one day wonga will let me come back if i can go without masturbating for a month maybe i can prove that i am capable of overcoming this beast its like that seinfeld episode about being masters of your domain ive got to stop spanking the monkey ive gotta stop giving pet names to this sin this horrible guilty conscience making self defeating five minutes of pleasure and forty eight hours of guilt endless cycle ive gotta break out of the shame spiral i need gods help i cant do this thing called life all by myself ok so in my time at island breeze i made friends with kisha and rupeni who are finally going public about their wild passionate love for each other and for jesus christ and who are totally awesome dancers and godly people who have taught me a lot with their humble hearts and positive mental attitude i made friends with the people from island hoppers and all tribes during their dts probably my best friends are moa and leetoia cause moa has given me spiritual guidance and relationship advice and leetoia has been my crush and we have collaborated on numerous occassions in various hip hop related musical projects plus she is a totally awesome worship leader also fallon is my best friend we are always sharing stories and singing in the kitchen fallon if you are reading this pleae give me your email so we can keep in touch congratulations on you and uto getting married i hope you have a long and happy life together you guys make a beautiful couple ok so i was also friends with kaleb who like leetoia is bunjalung and he gave me a beautiful painting currently hanging on my wall which is about revelations where all the creatures are worshipping god and singing him praises and he is awesome at painting and rapping and he has lots of funny jokes and honesty and he is good at yarning up and telling stories and dancing and so is his brotha kyle who told us all at gods heart for the nations about the bunjalung culture and he has taught me a lot with his humility and dep love for god and his family my best roomiue at island breeze was frankie from png because he never complained we always just used to jam and sing praise and worship songs and he was very funny and he was a cool dude and he has such a deep love for jesus and he is a bold and powerful evangelist shout out to adam at perth i miss doing evangelism with you and frank and leetoia and joshua i remember the good times wish i could turn the clock back wish i hadnt of fallen from grace wish i hadnt of got caught out but if i didnt i would still be living a lie and being a hypocrite i cant say one thing and do another ive gotta be consistent with my actions and suffer the consequences for my sins adam has a heart for indonesia and i know hes gonna make a big difference over there shout out to my homegirl danielle who looks and raps like alicia keys even though shes maori and shes got a beautiful voice and she has fantastic dreddies and she is a gifted and talented worship leader shout out to my best friend prina who has always been there for me when i was out on a limb with a chainsaw ready to cut myself down but you were always there to lift up my spirit i only hope that i can be there for you for all the ups and downs on this rollercoaster of life and love your poetry is totally amazing and your artwork is original and the best you are a creative genius shout out to my homies azera and ashla and kesia even naira i remember talking to u guys after school and it made me nostalgic for school days and wishing i could go back to school thanks for talking with me and sharing your stories and funky dance moves shout out to my homegirl elya who is my best friend in the whole wide world who comes from thailand and likes to ride on elephants she likes chronicles of narnia and alternative music and she has cherry red hair and i met her when she was on island hoppers going to samoa tonga and fiji telling people about jesus and sharing the love of god with them by preaching and teaching and songs and dramas she is a really good teacher shes got a wicked fresh sense of humour i sure hope i get to hang out with her again someday soon shout out to my homegirl michele who is my ex girlfriend and who is still my best friend because we talk on the phone every night and she came to visit me in november and we were eating and drinking and laughing and crying and riding trains and holding hands and watching lots of movies together and going to under water world and watching the sea lions and going to montezumas and eating hot and spicy mexican food with lots of salsa corn chips guacamole and chili beans we were doing all kinds of crazy amazing things together like going to her cousins house for his birthday party going to movie world getting wet and buying new t shirts michele got waved at by bugs bunny because she was wearing a bugs bunny t shirt this was after we went on the lethal weapon ride michele and me were kissing and cuddling in public and private at every available opportunity i was so head over heels in love with her i couldnt think straight guess thats what its like to be crazy in love with somebody and then i came to visit her at christmas time and she was really kind and she put my name on presents even though she bought them and her family was really warm and friendly and they made me feel like part of the family and i had the time of my lfie and then in febuary i asked michele to marry me and it was all over between us because i walked away from the table when her dad was talking tp me and im sorry for my lack of respect and i hope that her dad gets well soon and i pray every day for his recovery from cancer and that god would give him back the ability to walk again and i love michele with all my mind body and soul and i wish that i could turn the clock back i wish that things could go back to the way they used to be between us but im glad that we are still friends and no matter what happens i will always love michele there are things that are impossible to explain there are things that happen that you cant change or avoid happening there are things that you can avoid and change if you make the right choices i am accident prone i talk too much in the movies i promised i would learn to drive and i still dont know how to drive for a long distance relationship to work there must be lots of commitment and trust and definitely lots of love that is the most important ingredient in the recipe for love to avoid disaster i want to have a relationship where i dont mess it up i want to learn to take it nice and slow and not try to rush things but just be fai fai lemu just take it easy as they say in samoan i wanna go to samoa for christmas but thats only gonna happen if all the molis have enough money so maybe id better do some fundraising so we can all have awesome adventures overseas at christmas time ok so i want to say how much i love the new outkast album idlewild i urge everybody to go out and buy it because it it totally awesome i also want to say how much i love elya franciscas and i hope that one day she and me can be more than friends for now at least i can talk to michele every day on the phone ive got somebody to keep me coimpany every night i just want somebody to love and cherish for the rest of my life people think im desperate and dateless but the truth is im just like every other guy who is crying out for love even though some guys are too scared or wanna be gangsta or wanna be hardcore to admit it all of us are just little boys who want kisses and hugs somebody to talk to and spoil us and love us and somebody who we can treat like queens and love with all our hearts and souls there are sensitive new age guys out there ladies believe me all the snags have not been fried on the bbqs of pop culture i know that lots of girls have been stereotyped by music like talking about women like they are sex objects and music that uses excess profanity dont think that alternative music is exempt the censors be hating on hip hop but ive bought lots of alternative music that claimed to be cuss free and had more cuss words than a master p album sonic youth im looking at you punks so dont blame hip hop cause there is decent godly hip hop out there like giospel gangstas and cross movement like fourth avenue jones and grits who are the bomb coffee and bone keep on repping for jesus christ sorry i missed you guys in concert but i hope to one day catch you for real and see you guys rocking the house and praising the lord with your voices making a joyful noise to the lord some things are better off kept a secret like the fact that i cant keep my trap shut these are the consequences of honesty this is my life maybe one day my mind will not be so messed up and i will be able to write a book of all my experiences or at the very least dictate it to one of my friends and they can organise my thoughts in a way that makes sense to the general public but for now this is as good as it gets maybe if i wrote in my blogger more often i wouldnt have problems remembering all the stuff that happens for sure we had lots of times of singing and dancing at island breeze the most recent good time i remember was when joseph and kerrin had little baby steven and they had a big bbq for everybody on base so we were all singing and dancing and partying and having a good time of fellowship of brothas and sistas in christ and joseph was cooking fish and sausages and i was hating on the fish even though now i eat fish ever since i left island breeze ive started eating fish but im still not eating meat i hope to one day go back to island breeze cause thats where all my homies are plus i miss the atmosphere and getting exercise walking to the toilets every day all island breeze peoples know what i mean cause its a long distance between the dorms and the toilets and having a good time watching jctv on the weekends thank u pastor peter from the esther centre for hooking up free calbe tv :) shout out to my homie isoa i miss praying and reading the bible with you this guy is fully godly he prays and reads the bible every day plus hes got a good sense of humour and he loves to play footy and he works in the office at island breeze and he is crossing cultural bridges and bridging the gap and crossing the boundaries and making friends with people from all colours of the rainbow cause thats what its gonna be like in heaven everybody singing and dancing and praising the lord i aint got suicidal tendencies im too chicken turds to kill myself but i cant hardly wait to die and go to heaven and be joined in the fellowship of the suffering to be with jesus walking on streets of gold bursting through those pearly gates and bowing down in worship of jesus forever and ever amen i cant hardly wait til the new movie of the life of missy elliot comes out im gonna try and get all her albums on the cheap before she becomes even more rich and famous than she already is props to missy elliot for exercising and losing weight she is a tribute and a hero to all fat women everywhere that if you try hard you can lose weight if you eat lots of ruits and vegetables and get lots of exercise you can be a sexy brown sugar like missy elliot you can be comfortable with the weight you are sometimes its just metabolism that makes people fat but to be fit all you have to do is eat healthy lots of big boned black women are in fact more healthy than skinny white supermodels who puke their guts up and smoke drugs all the time like kate moss i love big black beautiful woman i love caramel and chocolate ladies islander girls are the most beautiful women inthe world if any island girls who love jesus are reading this holla back at me all my homies who be rapping for jesus word up to altered lives radio www.altaredlives.com see if it works otherwise just check out www.holyhiphop.com to get the missing link not that there was ever a monkey man or a lizard bird but some idiots still believe in dumb stuff like the big bang theory even though there is no proof but there is living proof that jesus christ is alive and living in our hearts they will know we are christians by our love not by the slogans on our t shirts so i hope to record enough albums to get played on gospel hip hop radio in the states but thats only gonna happen with divine intervention now that ive got yoru attention theres a few things id like to mention jesus is the truth the lfie and the way and the only one who saves from the cradle to the grave and please b elieve it i love matis yahu im not hating on the music i still love his music i just wanted to say in my last post that just because people sing about god doesnt make them christians just as somebody that watches basketball isnt neccessarily a basketball player ok thats all folks keep on shining for jesus like my homegirl jessica in canada says my homie wong chung left korea because he read purpose driven life by rick warren and he became a missionary if he can follow gods calling so can you god bless love daniel smile jesus loves you :) cool runnings peace be the journey matthew28:19-20
