†ђξ finish line

Contrary to what †ђξ title states, I'm not there yet but I sure can see it. †ђξ minor setback however, a constant reminder that it's not over till it's over.

So †ђξ project defence was today and as usual, I can't complain. It went ok,...generally, though it could have been much better. †ђξ sleepless nights didn't really reflect but like I said, can't complain, won't complain, shouldn't complain.

Just can't wait to get done with all these and start a new life. As †ђξ lyric goes "every finish line is †ђξ beginning of a new race".

I've learnt a valuable lesson in life. To never take anything for granted. To dot my i's n cross my t's...albeit, †ђξ hard way; and when I say hard, I actually mean HARD.

†ђξ past year's been tough, physically, emotionally, spiritually. I've passed through thick, thin, ups, down, lows n some awful depths.

I've risen, fallen n risen again, all by His Grace. In one month I shld be at an all-time high. Right now I'm at an all-time low but I know in a month I'll be up dere.

I read a post somewhere n it comes to mind now. Faith is not believing that GoD CAN but that He WILL. Lord I know you WILL, please do. Amen.

3 weeks +

Finally †ђξ time is drawing near... like I have to go nocturnal or ask for a 30hour day cos that's †ђξ only way I can achieve this seemingly impossible feat.

It's just a few weeks away n I'm wondering...would †ђξ air smell different after that? Would I feel lighter, happier (most definitely), would I feel fulfilled (I believe I will). I'll just have to do my best then wait n see.

Like we say in Naija, GD dey.

The battle

I looked at the little statue of the three wise men hanging by a rope and swinging in the gentle breeze created by the ceiling fan.


Tomorrow was the begining of a test of what I'd learnt in 8 months. I wish I were like one of the wise men, surely they knew a lot to be referred to as the wise men. If only I knew everything in this books. I looked at the books scattered everywhere.


I was begining to feel sleepy so I walked over to the fridge to get my antedote for sleep. Ice cold water, it worked everytime; but not this time, my eyes kept closing as I tried to keep from continuously nodding.


I finally gave in, hopefully I'd dream of beautiful things and who knows probably some inspiration for how to win in the battle starting tomorrow.

2nd Coming... or is it the 3rd?

Well, I'll just skip the welcome back speech and cut to the chase. A lot has happened since my last time on blogville. I grew older, found love, rounding up college, lost time to do a lot of stuffs like draw and write.

I would not exactly say I'm back for keeps but I cud at least say I'll be seen more often than before. Naturally I would have lost all my blogville friends due to the break in transmission but I believe anywhere is a good place to start.

We recently celebrated our 50th anniversary and I am yet to air my views on that, so if you're reading this, you may want to check back. Also my birthday is in 3 days. Happy birthday and yes, I've started receiving gifts, cheques and cash too :D.

I guess that's all for now. It's 3:40am here and my twisted circirdian rhythmn just reminded me I should close my eyes for some hours, so I'm off. Good morning.

RELOADED

Here's welcoming me back to blogville, I've been away for so long but now I'm BACK!. So it's not in an explosive way per se but it's a sort of revolution towards better things.

A lot has happened since I was away. I should say I took the time off to heal n heal I did; plus I've put myself together, more focused, rebranded, refurbished, renovated, in fact any re- word U can think of apart from retarded.

Untitled got titled, (Blind date) but was put on hold for a while (part of the healing process). PLENTI is the Hottest thing around now and should be hitting the cyberwaves soon, so keep your fingers crossed.

I've missed Blogville and hope to keep up this flow and energy, so help me God.

Old School?

What happened to the walks in the park, along the beach, the picnics, going to the movies; the things which strengthen the bond of love and friendship.
The hard copy pic of a loved one used to be the pride of the other. These days all you need is a camera phone with Bluetooth, or better still MMS so you don’t even get to see the person at all. Its technology and trust me its good; You probably don’t even have to go on real dates. Hey! One could just hook up online and go on a cyberdate. OK, that’s a word that’s been around for a while but its gradually taking on a new dimension/definition. By this, all you need do is both have internet connection and an optional webcam to judge expression and stuff like that and then off you go to a pre-arranged site, look around, play a game or two, buy her/him stuff online. Very soon we’ll probably be eating lunch and dinner online…OK, just kidding.

Again, its all technology, but would take over our real lives soon. With a GPRS enabled phone, you can stay online 24hours a day and without real efforts, relationships are fostered and sometimes crash completely in a short time due to a false start; the hood of lies and deceit the internet offers. One can assume any identity online and to a large extent get away with it. This all gets me thinking; in a couple more years what would the human be?

Reminds me of a movie that Sylvester Stallone starred in where at the time everything had gone cyber. Cyber touch, cyber kiss, cyber hug, cyber sex! There could be no physical contact for fear of contamination. It’s already started. You could wink at someone online these days, flirt, hug, kiss, poke etc.

Now what’s our world turning to? If you ask me, I’d say one big simulation. We’re gradually becoming robots and walking computers; all we need is the right command. The right IM, SMS can elicit a response that hitherto could only have been imagined. Someone once told me that there are three things with are utterly different from one another; an edited SMS, a phone call to say what it is, and actually saying it in person; and I would like to add a fourth; the sincerity when saying it in person. (Although there isn’t a scale to judge this).

I know all this may sound old school and like a writing from the 80’s but I think I’m an advocate to proper communication in fostering any relationship and not the quick fix, our world offers today.

Uhmmm…think about it.
