Glad Tidings of Great Joy

"deck the halls with boughs of holy..
Falaalalalalalalala.
tis' the season to be jolly
Falaalalalalalalala..."
Christmas is here and i must say this year,we're getting there with mixed feelings....one thing is for sure though,Christmas is easier and clearer more heartfelt than phyiscally planned out...it's an experience of the heart..
phewwx..this is the part where I phsyc ya'll up with some philosophical mumbo-jumbo...but naah
that's the bottom line...God(the current CEO of the universe) offers us a deal,which includes that unbeatable offer...'the life of God Himself"...Jesus gets born in a calf's feeding trough,lives in the dusty little known streets of Nazareth, and later does what all super heroes have failed to properly do:He gives His life to pay for us an eternal ransom..."that is mega-off the charge love...that's love folks"...
Which ever way you look at it..Christmas is Love...and true love is GIVING,...and true giving is a thing of the HEART.
Merry Christmas everyone!

the missing picture

Ever flipped open someone's picture album...and you keep flipping until u reach those last blank pages(i wonder why MOST people leave them blank)...then you discover that,you've been waiting to see this someone's photo, and there's not even half a piece of snap that that someone features in...
It's never happened to me...but of recent my life has been feeling more like that...
I havent been anywhere in quite awhile...
Meanwhile, i chopped off all of my Afro collection and guess what...we're going through th ewhole thing all over again...one word,"mind your business"..(okay those are many)..but that's what am going to be upto in the meantime!

Black things Fade

Now before I tell you about how black things fade,i'd love to tell you about how i've been telling myself about how am going to watch "Rango" over and over again until am just saying those lines in my dream!!...naah..it's not that bad...wait..some white(muzungu) has just walked in with dreaded hair...[okay,clearly, am just a pathetic roumour-monger, Ron,you win again!
So,like we were saying..."the tale of a hero,who's yet to enter his own story
":
Black...I donno if it's just me or what,but every single black cloth i ever wore at one point finaly fades to gray..or brown..yes and maroon..or light blue..and green..OKAY!!!Whatever...Frankly,it hurts when all those things that fade were the very things that were so dear to you,things that you could never do without!
I dont know what am saying right now because anything black, is my favourite something...
Black is deep..black is subtle ..and so strong..and so firm..And yet black is what fades away when the morning comes!Black is what is washed away when with tears of hurting hearts!
Black is royal.
Out of all this fading blackness...a few of my favourite black things have still not faded..or atleast are still glistening with glory..Here goes:
That black t-shirt with the inscription "Woman of rare beauty",my favourite beaded black sweater, my hooded black jumper and my "diplo" shoes!
"He lived and he died...six 'blahblah' by his side...and the 'homies'they cried for RANGO"
CHALL!

The strength To Leave Diane,Tobo,JB, Hamza,The Ferzilier& the casino*

…fathom the deepest depth you can sink to,and fetch out for me some form of super strength..some form of flux i can breathe…some form of super-something i can use.The moment comes when you have to leave,when everyhing finaly comes to that unexpected end(it usually is unexpected)…When you finaly have to come to grips with the facf that you have to let go!That moment is not an easy one!About a month and a few weeks back,i arrived in this place,and i was going to work with 50 professinals(i think),on a team of about a dozen trainees,most of whom were total strangers (in many senses of that “stranger” word)!Hopefully ,by tommorow, internship wll be a moment in my life to reckon with…it will be gradually, but quickly "metamorphising" or subliming into that substance of which memories are made…that sad,heart-wrentching,nostalgic, teary substance…!One thing though,internship has not been one waste of time..it’s been one hell of a transforming moment in my life that i may never let go of!To Diane,Tobin, Ferzilier,J.B ,Hamza and(mark my words) the rest of the internship guys, you guys have guaranteed that my life will never remain the same ever again!I need the strength to forget you all..abit(atleast the bit where we hang in the same staff-room all time should go)..the strength to let go and go away!I hope “the M.O.D’S still gat this”…i hope we can still hang out at a live music drowned casino…i hope we can still lean on each others’ shoulders..or have each others’ backs and legs(Diane,i mean you in every word of this)…i hope we can still sit on a “boda” until it’s back tyre bursts, so that we can mindlessly shout at the rider…i hope we can d those things that most people think we can never do(Hamza..was that dancing or some hybrid version of "frog-jumping"?) and i hope we can all still be sober enough to wake up one morning,and go for a walk in town…in a straight line(to the Ferzilier)and promise never to go back again(so that we can change our minds on friday)!By now,you notice i need the strength of the whole world to be able to say this good bye.GOOD BYE(i hope i change my mind on friday)!

words of time

...the fact is, saying the right words at the wrong time...and saying the wrong words at the right time is actualy the same thing!
Excerpt from something i posted on my FB page last night:
"life as we know it soon ends!..then somethng else/someone else/some place else takes place..
life as we know it,CHANGES!"
Life is not static and one of the only commands that keep it running is "words"..
A "thank you"...a "good morning"...an "i like that"...a "how are you?"..all say something that gives life it's life-blood..it's very existance..
an "I LIKE YOU"...yes,an "I LIKE YOU" shouldnt be said too soon, or too late,otherwise "you might miss out on something good"[Dhn]
Currently, let's see how that goes for me...the "you might miss out on something good" part!
Words..whether it's the right time, or the wrong timing..we say words all the time,even when we dont say anything!
