i read a book yesterday while painfully awaiting for some government officer who made me wait for 4 hours only to find out he was actually at home sleeping because he had hangover from the previous night...mind you its Monday...all i wanted was a signature.
anyway back to the book its a writing guide from one of my university courses (am not too cool for school as it turns out) and the book described a style of writing called free writing where you just put down your thoughts without paying attention to meaning, punctuations or grammar.they actually suggested turning off the monitor to your computer and typing blindly...cool eh? i guess that is my style and now moving on to a totally unrelated topic.
i met a virgin today...yes i did. she was about 21-24 years old if i judge correctly. you'd actually have to be in my school to know why this is a big deal. trouble is i cant seem to remember her name despite the fact that i have been in four consecutive group discussions with her...mmh i really need a method to remember people's names.
am a little worried about a business project i took up...i really hope that does go well not because i have already put money in it but because loosing, as much as it is part of success, really sucks-half-pun not intended.
someone reminded me today that i need to be more social apparently i mind my business too much...ofcourse i disagreed but thinking about it later, it is kind of true but i don't have the heart to make friends and socialize. i don't even have the energy for it...oh well i shall try though
did you know that it is illegal for women to drive in Saudi Arabia or take a bus or go to a hotel room unaccompanied by guardian mmmh...one of the reasons they list for this is that if women are allowed to drive they might fill up the streets hence denying many young men a chance to drive. what a country eh?
the in thing is beating up policemen in Kenya btw...just make sure you don't get raided with bullets or get arrested...coz you are going to get it for sure. my condolences to them.
i heard somewhere that do not worry about what you do not know...life is a dance you learn as you go...dance on

i feel like a MILLION
no better way to feel really. i feel like money right now...that could maybe be because of that little debt i just got paid from last year...or maybe not. this year is looking bright. it started on a good note. am reading more and eating more (if you know me you'll know that this is a big deal) and the best and most shocking part is probably that am drinking less and most times not at all.
see i read somewhere that the simple formula of being rich (not wealthy) is spending less than you are earning not earning more than you are spending...it doesn't make much sense at first but if you read it through it does make some sense. simply have more coming in than you have coming out (there is no way that statement can be confused for sexual).
back to the money feeling. being self employed is as satisfying as satisfying gets. effort is directly equal to rewards. and as far as projects go i have had the best start to the year. with three great projects in the tunnel and an already established one running smooth and an equally dedicated business partner, i am more than hopeful that its going to be a great year.
school is good too but you know, am too cool for school (that's not relevant to this post in have just always wanted to say that...matter of fact I'll say it again) am too cool for school *sigh* am awesome. so yeah school is good stared of good, i have a grip of my semester outline and assignment...few hot chicks in my new classes, lecturers are pleasant and am thankful.
i just feel like nothing could go wrong...but heaven knows am very wrong about that. there is one little issue though, when you are this busy, social life suffers and that is just a sacrifice i have to make right now. i have lost a girlfriend or two due to my ambition...and the friends, i don't even have count. its all good though i aint complaining and if you are close to me you know that I'd never let y'all down.
to summarize it all I'll just quote the best rapper as far as am concerned (tenses of the quote are changed to fit this context and a word or two might be my own...because am awesome heheh)
"I'll come back to y'all i just need time to do what i have to do and make a million or two"

to lie and chaet or not to
i once asked someone why people lie and they didn't know how to answer that. i asked why they themselves lie and they came up with different instances that they have lied and tried to explain why they lied.
basically people lie because for one reason or another the truth is not very pleasant.
personally i do lie a couple of times mostly because i don't care for those i lie to or i care too much that the truth might hurt them. mostly i only lie when i have to and generally avoid little white lies and I'll tell you for a fact you don't get so many friends that way
perhaps the worst kind of lies is those that we tell to those we love or care about.a situation today got me thinking about all these stuff. for the purpose of discretion I'll use 3 fictional characters to expound on the situation.
the main character in this little movie is a girl, lady rather by the name Stacy.Stacy is young, pretty and has a boyfriend one that she loves or doesn't (i don't know for sure).besides her boyfriend Stacy has a thing on the side... a boy lets call him uum...kim. kim is awesome hehehe (and its not me)
so stacy pretty much has two things going on. eating from two plates if you may. however, stacy, kim and stacy's boyfriend all know each other, live in the same neighborhood and run into each other quite often.
needless to say it wouldnt be long before the cat is out of the basket.
a few not so nice in-boxes and boyfriend's prying eyes later, the cats out.
Stacy is obviously dumped (i assume) she is devastated depending on the immensity of love in their relationship.
kim apart from sending the messages has no fault really but the funniest thing is mostly everybody would be out to get kim not considering that this guy kim was the only one not lying or being lied to.so the only hero in this story is dubbed the villain.
considering the case Muchi some village idiot i know from somewhwere says the best thing is to be lying and be cheating as well. it is just the safest option.
he says the chances of trusting someone you are with is just as good as trusting the weather mid year. the best you can do is carry your umbrella and hope it does not rain. in the case of relationships is cheat and hope the same is not happening on the other end.
i sure as hell hope Stacy's boyfriend had an umbrella or he is gona be one soaked guy
they say the fastest way to forget a woman is to be on top of another and the opposite applies for forgetting a man.hint hint.
thinking about it i choose to go with the above. you just cannot trust the weather mid year.
however, i hear love can forgive anything (i don't know how true that is) but i have seen the likes of Stacy forgive the unforgivable
anyway i wish Stacy and her boyfriend godspeed in mending the issue and pat kim on the back.

small things that make a big difference
growing up i didn't have a very smooth childhood but one of my most vivid memories was on the 1st day of primary school final exams. for reasons i wouldn't want to go back to i could not have an umbrella from the house even though it was raining heavily outside.
my school was about a mile away give or take and rather than be late for the exam i opted to walk to school in the rain. then i didn't seem so bad to walk in the rain before sunrise as it does now but i guess you think your mum is the best cook till you travel.
so anyway there i was walking in the rain trying to remember what i'd been taught for most of my life when a guy in a suite and a nice big umbrella runs up to me from behind and covers me in it.
not bothering to ask why i was walking in the rain, this neighbor of mine that I'd seen a couple of times around the block,walked me all the way to my school with his umbrella and walked back almost halfway back to where he was to pick his bus.
on the way we spoke about a lot of things with Ken (that's what his name was) and then eventually when we got to my school gate he asked me what i wanted t be when i grew up...i wanted to be a lawyer.
as other parents dropped their children in big cars as it was custom in my over-priced private school, Ken ushered me in still holding the umbrella on my head and sometimes letting himself be rained on.
for the rest of the exam week, i would walk with ken me to school and him to his bus stop and he told me about lawyers and high school and college. from the 1st day of our meeting and for the rest of the few days that i knew ken he wouldn't refer to me by name but rather he'd call me "lawyer".
after my exam week i didn't see him much probably because of work and a while later he moved out from my building while i was away for the holidays. i went off to high school and never saw him again.
years later i don't remember ken's 2nd name or if he'd even told it to me. i don't remember what he did or his house number. i don't remember his voice and i sure as rain don't remember what he looked or looks like.
maybe the worst part is that i have since lost all interest in law and is doing a whole different thing.
there's one thing i will never forget though, is the stranger who fathered me for a week or so when i had no one else. i probably owe what i am now to that man Ken.
