The Weekend at last - some respite & rest for a weary soul...

I called my sister today. It has been a while since I heard from her last. She sounded okay and since she confirmed that everyone's alright - I took it at that and bade her goodbye...

I went to see Mr patrick, who i am currently tutoring in software programs 7 packages... He was generous and I was thankful to God for giving me such favor - what more can a young man ask for...

Yesterday was my aunt & uncle's 21st wedding anniversary (has it been that long already!) I was busy in town, making the necessary connections and doing some PR work for myself... I came back pretty late - entering my aunt's place at ten PM on the dot...

Some prayers and fried rice later - I was ready for bed... I didn't actually go to bed until two in the morning and that was that...

I don't know what will happen tomorrow apart from washing my clothes and then putting the rest of the Day in God's hands...

Allow me to rest my typing hand for today - my last entry was thrown into the electonic wasteland of the internet and this was just to make up...
Basically a Good week!

Till I am able...
later folks

too late to feel bad - I feel worse than bad - TERRIBLE!

I'm back from seeing a friend and was all but chased out of her house at the end of the day after coming late (12:40 pm as opposed to our agreed time of 10:00 am) - my timing was off; I managed to stay for 4 hours plus, which was spent watching movies: Green Mile & 44 minutes - (she did tell me that she was expecting someone by 4:00 pm; on further reflection methinks that was the gentle "hint" I was too dumb to take and now I feel like shit!*#)
I was partially escorted to the gate and told goodbye...
The lesson: Boot yourself out before you are booted out...

I spent the return journey thinking... Did I make a mistake? Should I have kept my butt in my house an just played "Marooned on a Island"?

I am only beginning to learn that certain things in life are a constant. We keep and are kept in return on a scale of preference... Some people rate higher than you or you rate higher than others - the bottom line is you are either higher, lower or simply at par with the next fellow...

On to other matters...
I have become blessed with finance finally - I was given "aid for transportation"; as described by the doctor whom I did some work for yesterday... The "aid" turned out to be very generous indeed... (I am not quite "smiling all the way to the bank" but the distance is close enough and for me that is adequate for now...)

I suddenly feel somewhat better but I still plan to be careful in future...
My date of departure looms ahead, I should be back in Lagos (worst case scenario: 1st week of September...)

Will soon write more when I get my next wave of inspiration....
(I am planning to open another Blog site - I don't know what to base this one on but an idea should pop up pretty soon...)

Later folks - your intangible mist

The week that sped past like a F1 champion...

I am in front of this screen, dazed as hell but happy to be back... I had been trying to create a story line for my weekly entry and had played around with a couple of ideas...

I'll talk about a week that brought a few pleasant suprises and some unpleasant onces but what's life without a dose of balance...

I'm sort of out of the ground zero region financially but not out totally if you catch my drift... Aparrently, I will earn a little something to keep me financially independent...

The week has been a series of flash to's, through's and fro's...
Through God's ordainance (if such a word exisits or if the spelling's correct) - I have harrassed and been harrassed...

But the long and short of it is... I'm not flat broke, just somewhat better than that....
I also saw a long lost - special someone (a friend) before the lot of you get your knickers in a twist... And we just picked off from where our friendship stopped... I think that I would be better as a professional friend - my talents there are better!

Anyway, I just want to say that I'm thankful for the grace to have survived this week in spite of how hectic it has been - Thanks to the GUY up there!

Will see you lot later...
regards and a pleasant weekend...

Power of a dream or just the harsh glare of reality...

Guess what?

I recently tried to define evolution on my way to this meduim for expressing thots... I came up with this: Evolution is transition... where each point is a stop gap to another point...

I'm still in some kind of "analyse humanity" phase... I think that I use this as some kind of bridge gap to keep my over actively, perssimistic mind set in check...

Anyway, i took an online IQ test at: http://web.tickle.com/tests - Tickle test
The score was 129 and the analysis went something like this: Visionary Philosopher - what ever that meant but they pretty much guessed me...

by the way, i taking another one again... to determine your career choice... keep your fingers crossed... Result - be a journalist...

Anyway, I came across sites for japanese consumer electronics... smashing products that hardly make it out of that country... You should take a look...

1. www.gizmodo.com
2. www.japan-direct.com
3. www.dynamism.com

Have to go mon cheries... but please check out the sites, you might just like some of the stuff you see...

ciao...

Back to where I left off - three months & twenty days +

YES! Unbelieveable but true... I'm back in the land of kiss ass, lip smacking - Abuja, the capital or better referred to as the Federal Capital Territory for that unwieldly entity called Nigeria...

Anyway back to the place where friends and foes - abound in da multitude... The air smells totally different but for how long... alas my stay in this town is limited but I plan to enjoy my stay here...

Just needed to tell my fans (not many by the way but the illusion of greatness can still be felt by me...)
Any will write when I am undisturbed...

Ciao babies...
