  • The Daily Prompt – No. 100

    What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

    Wow. 100 daily prompts.

    I need to be mindful of my time. More often than not I have a framework for a schedule. I do it to be flexible; however, the flexibility gives me too much leeway with my activities. I.e., I don’t adhere to the schedule because I know I don’t have to start or end that activity on time.

    Let’s take sleep as an example. I aim for 6-7 hours of sleep per day. But, it never pans out that way because I’m always doing something that eats into my allotted sleep schedule.

    Anyway, I need to be more punctual with myself (and with others). The lack of punctuality means that I need to give greater attention to my time.

    What’s your all-time favorite album?

    Currently, I don’t have a favorite album. I listen to podcasts and sermons on my iPhone. Those are my favorite pieces of audio. But I can tell you vividly what my first favorite album was when I was 18. It was “Illmatic”.

    I hadn’t really gotten into the album when it was first released in 1994. I was not buying albums until way later in life. (And even then it was few and far between. Spotify and Apple Music, and others have really changed the game for music consumption.).

    When I first played it from start to finish for I was mesmerized first by the melody and then by the lyrics. Even though the album had some dark themes overall it was a pretty mellow one.

    My favorite track there was “The World Is Yours”. That was an instant classic. I played it over and over during my freshman year of college. (I think I burned out my Winamp from playing it on my desktop so much.).

    The song was a microcosm of how dope the album was with its lyricism and melodies. Illmatic was considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time with good reason.

    What brands do you associate with?

    I’m a Nike guy but I can get down with other brands.

    This was a filler post.

    What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

     

    The last thing I searched was a picture of Scottie Pippen.  I wanted to honor his birthday, which was yesterday.

    What things give you energy?

    Energetic people give me energy. I like to feed off it. Don’t get me wrong, I have to supply that energy too with the help of the Holy Spirit. But it becomes amplified when I am with someone who knows how to have fun and/or has a passion about something that they are doing. It is as if they are fully engaged with their body and their soul in order to get the task done.

    How do you celebrate holidays?

    Usually my family and I will go out and have dinner at a local restaurant. I treasure those times because they are the most memorable.

    I wish that I was able to enjoy these moments with my mom. Unfortunately that won’t happen on this side of heaven. But I do look forward to when my entire family can get together and celebrate.

    Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.

    There was that one time I was 10 and cooking Hamburger Helper for my mom and sister. I was boiling noodles in water. In the midst of transferring the pot of water from the stove to the sink to drain the noodles, the pot slipped out of my hands and I spilled boiling hot water onto my chest.

    The pain was so bad. My skin peeled off my chest. Fortunately my mom was there with some antibiotics and bandages to treat my skin. This happened in the summer while I was taking swimming lessons at day camp. The bandages would fall off in the chlorinated pool and burn me. That was such a traumatic feeling.

    Thankfully I got over it.

    What’s your favorite word?

    I don’t really have a favorite word at the moment. When I was young, however, my favorite word was “poop” or “passing gas”. I thought that it was so funny. My sister and I would make fart sounds. It was glorious.

    Now that I have become more mature my vocabulary has increased. (Thankfully.) No more poop or fart jokes. But no, I haven’t settled on a favorite word as of yet.

    What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?

    There’s so much I could write on this topic but I will write disloyalty. . If you’re willing to be disloyal and backstab another person in front of me, what will you say or do against me when I’m not in your presence?
