I Have A Story For Me – Josh Journal

by IJOSWIL 15-Nov-202115-Nov-2021

The story I want to write is as much for me as it is for you. Before you get to read it, I read it first. And before you were entertained, I was entertained.
This is for those of us who despite how we feel find it impossible to stop writing. The story lives in us. We live to tell our stories.

The things you have control over today, can you actually do without them? Can you do without one for only one week?

Password Managers And Their Wahala – Josh Journal

Hold on. Your system was compromised, not mine, but I’m the one that needs to change my password. Shouldn’t it be the other way round?
Should I even be trusting you with my password? This is the bank tying their biros in the banking hall all over again.

An Economy Of Justice – Josh Journal

by IJOSWIL 30-Jun-202130-Jun-2021

When this storm finally blows away, we should never forget those that tried to stand in the way of justice. Those that put their industry over the welfare of vulnerable women in that same industry.
And let’s not forget those who supported a government that wickedly took away the lives of its citizens.

RHETORICS WEEKLY SPECIAL

“Do You Love Me?” – RHETORICS

by IJOSWIL 30-Jun-202130-Jun-2021

From movies to real life, one question I am yet to understand people ever having to ask is “do you love me?”
Really? Why do you have to ask? Why? And whatever my response is will you believe me? If I tell you I love you, only after you asked, would that satisfy your curiosity?

The Camera-Friendly Generation – Josh Journal

by IJOSWIL 29-Jun-202129-Jun-2021

In the meantime, the police love the camera-friendly generation. They have make investigations easier.
Once you arrest a suspect, go through his camera roll. If you evidence is not there, go to his status on WhatsApp, Snapchat, Facebook, or Instagram. Somewhere, somehow, he will implicate himself.

WEEKLY SPECIAL WORD FOR THE WEEK

Kind Bully (Word For The Week)

by IJOSWIL 28-Jun-202128-Jun-2021

I don’t think “kind bully” is glorious enough to describe the grandiosity of our president and his loyal, reality-ignoring, alternate-universe-dwelling, merry men.
We can progress to calling him a generous dictator, or benevolent overlord, merry marauder. Or we just might upgrade him to King Bully.

Are You Dating Or Babysitting? – Josh Journal

Before you say age is just a number, consider dating someone older than you by the exact number of years you are older than your target.
If you still think age is just a number after that, then you should actually go with the older option.

by IJOSWIL 28-Jun-202128-Jun-2021

This might be a bit of a stretch, but if you ever have to ask if I love you, then I most likely do not.
Or I’ve failed in my love for you.
Either way, I’m not happy you asked.

With Reverence And Godly Fear – Josh Journal

by IJOSWIL 26-Jun-202126-Jun-2021

How Christianity evolved to exclude any fear for God and retain only enjoyment of grace, provision, and every good thing is a mystery that is beyond me.

Catcall Or Compliment? – Josh Journal

by IJOSWIL 26-Jun-202126-Jun-2021

What you say and how you say it is often the difference between a compliment and a catcall. It is often the difference between all the ladies looking forward to seeing you in the morning or walking away as soon as they see you.
At the end, it is up to you to be either a complimenter or a creep.

My only mistake is that I ate before getting home.

No Verse Walks Alone – Josh Journal

by IJOSWIL 25-Jun-202125-Jun-2021

The Bible is so vast that people will find a verse to justify almost any situation.
I doubt if there is any situation someone hasn’t successfully backed up with the Bible. From the mundane to the reverent, pious, sacrilegious, regular, irregular, usual, weird, heinous, kind, selfless, selfish, and everything in between.

The Myth Of “The Spur-Of-The-Moment” – Josh Journal

by IJOSWIL 25-Jun-202125-Jun-2021

They Said I Say “Sorry” Too Much – Josh Journal

by IJOSWIL 25-Jun-202125-Jun-2021

Is it actually possible to be saying sorry too often? Isn’t that part of ethics, morals, and civility?

Of Ban And Bants – Josh Journal

by IJOSWIL 09-Jun-202109-Jun-2021

Announcing a ban of Twitter on Twitter is like going to someone’s house to insult them. And the someone is an MMA fighter.

Now imagine your lover doesn’t share your sense of humor. Each time you laugh, they ask, “what’s funny?”
No matter how you explain, they just don’t get it. And whenever you share something you find funny with them, they’ll reply, “and so?” “I don’t get it.”
