I’m A Rockstar Because…

Posted on 27. Jul, 2009 by loswhit in Authenticity

In The Light
[This is an image of Mark. He is a real rockstar. And I think I'm a rockstar for capturing this image.]

Most of you flocked over here to see what sort of egotistical nonsense this title’s about.
Suckas.
I want you to finish that sentence.
The other day my buddy John blogged a great post.
Is “blogged” even a verb?
Anyways.
He wrote on jealousy and who he is jealous of.
I made the cut.
The problem is that everyone reading that post knows as well as I do that John is actually the receiver of more “I wish I was him’s” than any of us combined.
So in the spirit of everyone constantly wishing they were someone else I tweeted this today…

Quit trying 2 B lk that guy. He’s just trying 2 B lk sum1 else 2. thr is more U in U than U’ll even know wht 2 do w/

If you don’t read in twitter dialect I simply said that you rock more than you think you do.
You honestly do.
You are smart, sexy, beautiful, witty people.
And now I’m asking you to get honest.
That thing that makes you better than him or her.
Tell us all.

You are a rockstar because…
Los

    ummm. awkward.

    Let's see I'll have to play the spiritual encouragement card:

    I'm a rockstar because Jesus says so.

    And so are you.

      C'mon. You've Got Game.

      • Russ Hutto 27 July 2009 at 6:10 pm #

        Hehe. Let's see.

        I'm a rockstar because I design sweet blog headers. Not blogs, not websites. Blog headers. It's my thing.

        Wheee! Ok that was fun.

        Thanks.

        • loswhit 27 July 2009 at 6:15 pm #

          See. That wasn't too hard.

          • Jennifer 27 July 2009 at 6:17 pm #

            and yes, you DO design rockin' blog headers… I love the one you did for me!

            • Russ Hutto 27 July 2009 at 8:51 pm #

              Thanks Jennifer. Yours is one of my most fave so far!

          • Russ Hutto 27 July 2009 at 8:51 pm #

            Haha thanks. This was fun. And reading through everyone else's stuff! Great post today!

            It also reminded me that I used to be an actual rockstar too: http://twitpic.com/busvh

            Keep rocking!

    I am a rockstar because… I am a chizzlax kinda guy who is also a pretty mean photog and musician.

  3. Josh Webb 27 July 2009 at 6:08 pm #

    I'm a Rockstar cause I figured out I'm not.

    • loswhit 27 July 2009 at 6:09 pm #

      You are a rockstar for having that pimp fly header on your blog.

  4. Aaron Alexander 27 July 2009 at 6:10 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because I have a Michael Bolton tattoo on my butt.

    :) right?

    • Malachi 27 July 2009 at 6:13 pm #

      haha. I'd love to hear that story sometime. ROCKSTAR!!!

    • loswhit 27 July 2009 at 6:15 pm #

      HAHAHAHA

      • Aaron Alexander 27 July 2009 at 6:17 pm #

        first rule of michael bolton tattoo club….never tell how we got a michael bolton tattoo.

  5. Leslie 27 July 2009 at 6:10 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because I balance school, work, mommyhood, wifedom and friendships and make sure everyone feels special to me. Which is easily done because with that many things going on, the only people I spend time with are the ones that are special.

    • loswhit 27 July 2009 at 6:15 pm #

      Preach. That IS Rockstar

    • duregger 27 July 2009 at 6:24 pm #

      Leslie gets my vote… you are mos def a rockstar.

  6. RickwSmith 27 July 2009 at 6:11 pm #

    well…I guess I'm a rockstar because I have the most legit, awesome, Godly, wife ever…

    does someone else's coolness make me a rockstar?

    Can I ride the coattails of someone else's rockstarness?

    oh..and I"m friends with John Saddington in real life….

  7. RickwSmith 27 July 2009 at 6:12 pm #

    well…I guess I'm a rockstar because I have the most legit, awesome, Godly, wife ever…

    does someone else's coolness make me a rockstar?

    Can I ride the coattails of someone else's rockstarness?

    oh..and I"m also a rockstar because I'm friends with John Saddington…(again riding someone else's rockstar coattails….

  8. scottim 27 July 2009 at 6:12 pm #

    I am a rock star because my wife says I am and because my boy loves to spend time with his daddy and gets to a lot!

  9. lesc1aypool 27 July 2009 at 6:12 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because I'm learning to hate myself a little bit less every day…only by the grace of God. Sounds odd, but this is the hardest thing for me to do.

    • loswhit 27 July 2009 at 6:16 pm #

      That would qualify as ultimate rockstar.

  10. Jennifer 27 July 2009 at 6:13 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because … I dont give up on people.

    • loswhit 27 July 2009 at 6:16 pm #

      We need more of these type of rockstars.

  11. Aaron Alexander 27 July 2009 at 6:13 pm #

    I'm also a rockstar because I love my church and my job. I have a great family and am proud to be WHO I am today…not just something I've accomplished.

    I have big dreams…and I'm a rockstar for chasing those dreams.

  12. Aliciamc 27 July 2009 at 6:15 pm #

    I am a rock star because my mom told me so. :)
    Honestly though, I rock because I'm not afraid to let being bad at something get in my way of doing it!

  13. Ileana 27 July 2009 at 6:15 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because God has blessed me with the opportunity to work for the stinkin' awesome Internet Campus at Flamingo Road Church.

  14. Dustin 27 July 2009 at 6:16 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because I'm 20 years old and leaving everything and everyone I know and moving to Australia in pursuit of what God is calling me to do.

  15. Pokinatcha 27 July 2009 at 6:20 pm #

  16. Amanda_Sims 27 July 2009 at 6:21 pm #

    I'm a rock star because I am I'm good at giving ideas and offering problem-solving help.
    (One ex-boyfriend a long time ago told me I'm handy to have around, like a can opener. Sweet, huh?)

  17. Katie Kinsey 27 July 2009 at 6:22 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because I'm plain old ordinary folk, and more than proud of it.

  18. Jen 27 July 2009 at 6:24 pm #

    I'm a rockstar . . . because I am strong!

  19. klreed189 27 July 2009 at 6:25 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because I live in my parents basement and am looking for a job

  20. duregger 27 July 2009 at 6:26 pm #

    I am a rockstar because of what i do for the Kingdom… not because of who i am in the Kingdom.

  21. @billy_johnson 27 July 2009 at 6:27 pm #

    I'm a rockstar…because I am a big dreamer for a small town…exciting stuff

  22. mahawkins 27 July 2009 at 6:27 pm #

  24. Joe Cavazos 27 July 2009 at 6:28 pm #

    I'm a rockstar cause I get paid to do what I love!!!! Laying down sermon graphic licks with my two axes Photoshop & Illustrator

  25. Keith Tackel 27 July 2009 at 6:29 pm #

    I am a rockstar because I have an awesome wife, two awesome daughters and son, we are healthy, and I get to help lead worship in a band playing electric guitar… and I don't deserve any of it!

    I am just a man trying to do my best, screwing up along the way, being forgiven and trying to keep moving forward.

  26. Mela Kamin 27 July 2009 at 6:34 pm #

    I'm a rockstar, because as a thirty-something Mom of 3, living in the Midwestern burbs, I decided to start a new career – following a rather big, bold, audacious dream of being a singer/songwriter – and not to make a name for myself, but to point to the one whose name is above ALL names. I told God I was ready to use the gifts He gave me – and in that moment, I became more of who He created me to be. After comparing myself to others for too many years, thinking I wasn't good enough, worthy enough or smart enough, I let God have the final say about who I was/am … and I went for it.

  27. Jay 27 July 2009 at 6:39 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because because at the age of 34 I picked up drum sticks for the first time and within 5 months I was playing drums in our worship band. This is my fourth year doing it and I love it.

    And I'm a rockstar because regardless of all my faults, sins, mistakes, goofs, errors, and whatever else, I have a God that forgives me of all of that and loves me unconditionally.

  28. ScottJAllen 27 July 2009 at 6:42 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because (aside from BEING an actual rockstar http://bit.ly/j4I9i ) I've been in a life of ministry for 25+ years with the love of my life and have 2 kids in love God, mom and dad and church. Blessed to lead teams of awesome creative people… a God success story!

    • Amanda_Sims 27 July 2009 at 6:45 pm #

      Oh my gosh, I think I was AT that concert! In face my very FIRST concert was ML & BH! I heart you guys!

  29. jeremiahaja 27 July 2009 at 6:54 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because of my smokin hot wife, adorable baby girl, and because I've had some really amazing opportunities with people to be a part of the healing god is doing around the world.

  30. Michael 27 July 2009 at 6:56 pm #

    Because for 30 years I was able to do what a lot of men would love to do, Be a college football coach. And I never saw how blessed I really was.

  31. - Sarah :-) 27 July 2009 at 7:08 pm #

    I am a rockstart because… I have chronic foot breath, and I'm okay with that.

    I have a tendency to open my mouth WAY more often then my tendency to think first, so I'm known for creating awkward situations, being inappropriate at the wrong times, and pretty much always saying the wrong thing. BUT what comes with that is my ability to be blunt and honest to a fault, so people that want a real opinion can come to me for that. And though I could put it delicately… I just don't tend to lean that way. I'm okay with being the "harsh" or "brutally honest" one in order for someone else to grow. I'm strong. I can handle it.

    … and that's why I'm a rockstar. :-)

  32. michael buckingham 27 July 2009 at 7:10 pm #

    Ok, here's my best shot because quite honestly I don't feel like a rockstar…I dream of feeling that way, or better yet doing something of rockstar status but I don't feel like it…

    I am a rockstar because my goal is of rockstar proportion : to make the church the most ridiculously creative place on the planet.

  33. Dennis 27 July 2009 at 7:23 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because of Whose I am and the One who enables me. On my own, I am worthless…wretched and poor (even if the world sees otherwise). Everything I do "well" is a direct result of Him.

  34. Tim Schraeder 27 July 2009 at 7:29 pm #

    i'm a rockstar cuz i got to meet Seth Godin http://www.timschraeder.com/?p=637 + http://www.timschraeder.com/?p=636

  35. Keith Barger 27 July 2009 at 7:36 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because I want to be. Because I don't care much what anybody else thinks about me.

    Frank said it best – "I gotta be me!"

  36. Vince 27 July 2009 at 7:43 pm #

    …my kids think I am

  37. Amy Storms 27 July 2009 at 8:06 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because I stand up for love.

  39. Steve 27 July 2009 at 8:18 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because it took me twenty minutes of agonizing to actually answer the question.

  40. Shawn 27 July 2009 at 8:18 pm #

    People tell me I am a photoshop rockstar. It is a constant battle to try accept that. However, I am very thankful and blessed that my talents are able to help others carryout their dreams.

  41. @JRallis 27 July 2009 at 8:22 pm #

    I am a rockstar because I rock. I love life and love living it and am no afraid to live.

  42. Rodlie Ortiz 27 July 2009 at 8:25 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because my son and wife love me like I am. You can't fake that.

    I'm a rock star because I've survived this life so far by the grace of God and I live it out loud!

  44. alicia 27 July 2009 at 8:35 pm #

    ( I feel a little silly writing this) I am a rockstar cause I can make babies :) And I've taught 3 kids how to read all by myself. (Tell me that's not cool!)

  45. Pastor_T 27 July 2009 at 8:40 pm #

    Cuz I'm a Dad! With a newborn in one arm, reading a book to my 4 and 7 year old!

  46. Jay Sellers 27 July 2009 at 9:58 pm #

  47. Eddy 27 July 2009 at 10:50 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because I will relentlessly serve my God wherever and whenever even when it sucks. God = Life, My life belongs to God, Praise Him for His Mercy and Grace!

  48. David 28 July 2009 at 12:52 am #

    I'm a rockstar because I do angelic self-harmony better than anyone, ever. Yeah.

  49. Katie 28 July 2009 at 3:02 am #

    i'm a rockstar because i surround myself with people who are bigger rockstars than myself.

  50. Jim 28 July 2009 at 4:20 am #

    i'm not that sexy unless i'm wearing black

  51. Elgin 28 July 2009 at 2:26 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because I LOVE what I do.

    I talk to too many people & have too many friends that say "I hate my job." I don't want to hate my job – ever. If I ever hate my job, I'll find a new one that I love.

    But leading worship & working with students is the best gig ever – at least so far!

  52. Lex 28 July 2009 at 7:26 pm #

    I'm a rockstar 'cause my Daisy Rock bass has a pink punk star on it, and my strap has a zipper that goes no where.

  53. Graham Brenna 31 July 2009 at 2:14 pm #

    I'm a Rockstar because I have the best job in the world. I'm a tech director who also gets to play youth director for the awesomeest (which is now a word) youth group in the world! And I get to blog about our youth trips! :)

  54. Jon Acuff 31 July 2009 at 6:01 pm #

    I'm a rockstar because I'm learning that the terror I feel from trying something new or different or beyond my ability is actually something I have to run into, and not from.

    (but I still get sweaty with insecurity and called my wife about an anon hate comment this very morning)

  55. Pastor Kevin 31 July 2009 at 9:42 pm #

    Way sweet post bro! You ARE a rockstar.

    charming post. upright one decimal where I contest with it. I am emailing you in detail.

  57. Albert 16 November 2009 at 4:49 pm #

    I’m a rockstar because I love to worship God through song and lead others to worship Him too. Even as imperfect a person I am, I want to love and run after Jesus in this calling – with everything I am.

  58. Turner 31 August 2011 at 10:34 pm #

    I’m not a rockstar because I play music
    I’m a rockstar because I do what I want
