Choices and Decisions


Throughout life we as human beings are faced with CHOICES AND DECISIONS. The difference being CHOICES we make everday, including what to wear or not wear for that matter, what to eat, when to wake up, whether to shower, shave, brush your teeth, and so on. DECISIONS on the other hand are necessarily not made everyday, but are always life changing and may include; who to marry, what dreams to pursue, what job to work, to have kids or not, where to live, get my drift. You see decisions effect our life as a whole, and although choices may play some role in the decision more than likely choices do not effect us as much. Now that we have made such clear go and make the right choice, or decision, or whatever you choose, you decide! Check out these lyrics from Skinred

At first you don't succeed
Tried and tried again
Worked your hands to bleed
Don’t give up my friendWell in this game called life you got to keep on trying
Don’t make no body push you down and give you pure problem
OI! Life it is for living not for aggravation
When their getting under your skin and trying to cause you tension
You tell them, inside this flesh nuff ah we jusa suffer
And influences they will come take we over
1 think in life I and I must remember
Stand up for something and you’ll hear the oppressor singing

You got to make up your mind
Life, Choices and Decisions
You got to make up your mind
Life, Choices and Decisions
Where do we go there are so many signs
Life, Choices and Decisions
You got to make up your mind
Life, Choices and Decisions

Well well at first you don’t smoke weed but now you’re hooked on smack
You look back over your life and you wish you could go back
Rewind reject it and start it again
You know you wouldn’t end up with this juxtaposition
Right! Inside this flesh nuff ah we jusa suffer
And influences they will come take we over
1 think in life I and I must remember
Stand up for something and you’ll hear the oppressor singing

To follow or to lead
Or do you just pretend?
To pause or to proceed
The choice is yours my friend

Which way do you go? Where you gunner go? I do not know! You see,
Life is one big road with lots of signs, surely you’ll find
You got to make up your mind to face rality all the time
Many ah problem many ah joy
Never you try to take life for a toy
Some doing good lord some doing bad
All of these choices are driving me
Mad, So mad, driving me mad, driving me mad, driving me mad, driving me mad

Life, Choices and Decisions, Life, Choices and Decisions
Life, Choices and Decisions
Life life life life, choose life

Caged Inside


Running past the local zoo the other morning, the sound of a lions roar echoed from inside. This sent my mind a drift into the wonders of what it would be like to be an animal caged, trapped in not able to get out and live a free life. Reflecting upon such I realized that we as human beings live life very much inside of a cage at times. Roaring we may, but nothing can make us fell the freedom of being free. Although we do not necessarily have bars surrounding our environment other things take there places. Deadlines, bills, we all have an agenda, and at times they seem to be the weight of the world on our shoulders. You see there is that which will set us free and we have the decision each and everyday to live life in such a manner. Do not let this world cage you in, go out and live today!!
