How to prove you're a good youth worker #1. Forced analogies

<<< Previous Entry: Teenage Brains | This Month's entries | Next Entry: What If Zorbing Had Taken Off? >>

"So, pool, it's a lot like your life. No. I mean really. No listen. Imagine that the yellow and red balls are like periods of your life, and the white ball is like, uh, death. No wait, no it's probably Jesus. Yeah, but the black ball is death. So yeah, when you've potted all the periods of your life the only thing left is the black ball, which is sin. I mean death. Yeah. Death fits. And then that goes down and there's nothing left. Except the white, but you know what I mean. Anyway, you can't get rid of the black ball yourself, like pick it up or something because that'd be a foul, and that'd just make things worse, somehow. So you have to pot it right to finish right? But that means death or sin or general badness yeah? So, what happens if someone else came along and took the ball away. Someone who was perfect and didn't have his own black ball? Yeah?"

This post would have made far more sense if I hadn't have mis-read the title as 'How to prove you're a good youth worker #1. Forced apologies'


Where You Take Part

You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!

Caveats and the such

A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.

All the views expressed here are opinions of whoever wrote them. They also are copyrighted to you under law. However, because you're nice by commenting on this you agree to have your views licensed under whatever creative commons licence this website is.

Spam will be deleted and anyone caught doing it will be black-listed.

If you click 'remember personal information' your details will be stored in a cookie on your computer and you'll never see this message again. Hooray!
