The end of September... What can one expect?

The end of the month is but one day away...

I actually stayed at home today because the pressure at work was just getting to me slowly but steadily... I woke up at past seven this morning - the reason probably was that I slept late last nite (preforming some private experiment... No sly comments pls!)
Plus, I was required to preform some chore that dealt with my joints but allowed me the honour of unrobing in public (no - not completely nude...) By the time I was done, i was too tired to bother... so I called in sick!@#

I have been informed that my contract has been extended to include the month of October, so I'm to remain in this town till the end of the month... (I don't have the guts to fone and inform chude yet but I'm going to do it...)

Ps: Chude is my business associate in lagos and we have some private concern that requires my attention but I'm in Abuja rite now... (hence the crisis)

Wrote my missal and sent it to those individuals who have not written in quite awhile - the response was as expected at least some replied!

My brother is due to relocate for his placement exams into FUTO - Federal University Of Technology, Owerri - Imo State...

Hope the chap stops bouncing off the walls - have to go now, I just wanted to drop a little line...

Regards

So we rest - in preparation for what you ask...

Saturday...
I slept late last nite and woke up fairly early today (early being 7:00 am) and wondered at the apparent injustice in the world...
The weekend is almost one day gone and I cannot for a fact say that I achieved anything of worthy note today (saturday)...

I recently went to my favorite tech site: www.extremetech.com. They had this article on the recent deployment of video over fiber - where the fibre is actually wired to the customers' premises... with the option of getting 180 + video and audio channels... (wow!) (Go check it out - read and be amazed!)

Where as in nigeria - that great, unweildly entity struggling to come to terms with itself... We are still talking about cable and the monopoly enjoyed by the few operators...

I just wanted to rush out a few words and to reach out to the many out there...

Later folks...

In the light of my reluctance - (He-man said it best, except in my case: I DON"T have the power!)

A fresh and wholesome week - Today's Monday...

That day of the week the confirms to you that your worst fear has come true - some Super Being up there hates your guts - I mean it was just friday... now, it's suddenly monday - what gives? (you unpleasantly ask... Seething in silent rage!)

You get up in the morning with a healthy dose of regret - why did the weekend, have to end so quickly... With a heavy dose of reluctance you sluggishly rise from your bed and embrace the day - with arms still weighed down by sleep...

I'm reluctant to get to work just yet - I had a recording session yesterday with a beavy of "beauties". The choice of words should be selectively examined - one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist...

I have been offered a job as some kind of entertainment manager - I'm somewhat skeptical about it but then i'm skeptical about everything...
I hope to have further discussions on the issue with the fellow who offered me the job and sort out some issues...

He's hosting some kind of show tagged: "Face of Russel 2005" with a provision that if it proves successful - he'll be given the rights to host the event for the entire chain of hotel and resorts... "We're praying & working towards success"

He's the fellow, i mentioned on this blog (kelvin nwankwor). He graduated from my university - he happened to be the drama director of our drama troupe, who was so empassioned by what he did, he still does it today (aka Puff - Puff)...

We'll see what happens with time...

Just wanted to drop some words before I rushed into the week head first...
later

Deep within our very selves lies the key... (what key?)

Today - started with me waking up in my friend's place where I spent the night engaging in conversation and watching films. (Think - Dukes of Hazard, Pulp Fiction & Fantastic Four)

Pulp fiction - I could stand although I would say that as usual Quentin Tarantino showed his bynow usual aplomb for grevious killings -- I should actually say slayings.

Fantastic four was anything but fantastic - I mean, how else do you expect them to play out this super power theme. Compared to spiderman the fantastic four was about as enjoyable as drinking piss... I would have wanted more plots and twists than my grandmother's nickers - Spiderman definitely had that...

Dukes of hazzard was well one of those movies that didn't allow me the priveledge of reaching the end of the movie...

Yes now back to more serious matters:
Our conversations stemmed around technology's continued evolution at rates that one would consider frighteningly monumental (yesterday's concepts on pages of science fiction novels and scripts and films have become today's scientific facts - Think einstein and relativity)

Humanity when one considers the odds - is very much like every other group of animals, we are all basically going at it for survival at the end of the day...

I came across one of those sayings: Bullshit makes the flowers grow... think and ponder the above line - I am still at it...

Blazing hot - felt like a roasted, stuffed chicken today...

just when I thought it was safe to go outside...

Bumped into an old friend of mine - Kelvin Nwankwo (who incidentally goes by the stage name of wait for this one: Puff-puff... its so easy I won't take a swipe at it!)
One of those people who I'll continue to admire for following their dreams inspite of the inherent difficulties - No Guts, No Glory!!!

The lad was looking chunky, like he was wearing body armour or something...
We did what we always do when he's busy rushing from one place to another just like the good old days...

Apparently he's preparing for some kind of show happening here, live in abuja...

I couldn't go to work due to his presense but then it was good to see the chap after all...

My brother (arinze) is climbing the wall in his bid to get into (a or any) university - I don't blame him at all - with a jamb score of 225 and a good waec result from last year, you wonder why that should be the case...
But need I remind you we (u and I) reside in Nigeria - that country where everything that could go wrong does so as a matter of principle.
Anyway, we're hoping that By God's grace we'll find a good school that will provide him with his course of choice...

By the way - I ate myself silly - I hope that this trend continues...

Later people...

Wow and then the anticlimax...

Imagine the gut and cheek...
I have been away from the great love of my life - the very essense of my passion...
Writing is like air to me. Take it away and i become a fish out of water...
How are you lovely folks at OUR Bloggers world international, where writing is just one part of the romance...

Work this week consisted of three outings (monday, wednesday and if you add friday - I'd actually call you intelligent...) Today(being the said friday - I was told that I would now be required everyday of the working week.)
There goes my holiday!

I have come across the Book: The art of war (which, believe it or not teaches you about how to win peacefully - if you can and avoid the blood letting all together)

I'm still trying to digest the gruel that its pages contain - a rather hard diet... Apparently the japanese, who have studied the book dilligently and are considered the first people to actually inculcate the teachings into their very way of life...

I made some calls to people/ alright - friends, who I had not spoken to in quite awhile - I feel more at peace with the world and would like to get my ass back in Lagos, pronto...

My sister has been calling me since today, something about the age of mythology "misbehaving" - I hope she works the bug out...

Will be with you soon - in this life or the next...
later
