the buzz, the strife - in all I'm loving this life...

Capital for a business is most often the most elusive to get.
You maybe able to convince people of the merits of your business but somewhere along the line - a certain sense of caution creeps in.
Don't get me wrong, caution is a welcome development but if you're objective about your plans and expectations - what's there to be overtly-cautious about...

But the this is Nigeria the home of all manner of fradulent activity, it would make ya head swim if you truly knew what went on where...

Anyway, business is as is... some days are definite gifts from the gods, with business moving along a most positive note, other days are just plain horrible... but that's life - good days, bad days and plain days...

just wanted to check in...

Emeka - a lesson in human personality...

There are people and there are PEOPLE.
U know the ones I'm refering to. They stand out like light bulbs in the dark. They're glaringly clear for all to see. If u missed them, then u're damn lucky...
Why does he or she hate me so much? Why is he or she so sarcastic or cynical about life and people? (if u get the answer to that one, pls let me know!)

Emeka - who happens to live in LSDPC estate, where I work was introduced to my blog - he had this funny look about him when I tried to explain what it was based on - then he literally dashed out to home and safety (I've been making passes at the poor fellow - this may be the reason behind the "dash".)

Anyway emeka's case came up because of his attitude (he's trying to turn a new leaf - you know!) as if zebras can drop their stripes & suddenly wear spots! I wish him the best of luck - I had actually gotten used to the old emeka, he had a fuse that was so short, it blew up whenever it was lit...

My friends believe that I lament & complain - I honestly agree with them. I sound like a broken record player - drooling out the same stuff, year after bloody year.
The SKY is FALLIN! (so bloody what?)

Question:
Does any body out there know about the open source project (one billion hands go up): DotNetNuke... based on ASP.NET... (An open source portal that can be customized and extended) It was what I had been looking for...

its a beautiful day...

Or maybe not now but it is definitely a beautiful day...
I woke up with my stomach doing hoola hoops and I'm feeling decidedly odd...
I'm still at work and am about to push off for the weekend for a small break...

I did some freelance work for a friend and made maybe - N1000 after expenses - at least I made money. I'm hoping that my sister got around to sending the package to John - if not, I fucked - (Not that way!)

I am going home to a family that I wish I wasn't around - if I was able, I would stay away for as long as I possibly could... (If only wishes were gold bars!)
I love some of them most of the time but then again that's stretching the facts (aren't we all guilty!)

I'm looking forward to my break... I spent the christmas break and the new year break working and thus I need for myself some time off - to restrategize and re co-ordinate...

I am expecting some cash by febuary for my business (my side at least)
I wonder how I plan to get my shit together....

Ciao...

Chicken Little...

What can i say?

In the words of the now famous Chicken little: "The sky is falling!"
Nobody believed him - he was over dramatic and then often times than not, people began to tune him out - Noise or static, that was what Chiken Little represented - one more unpleasant situation/person to be tuned out.

That was a side line, by the way.
Today's the day. Today's what day? you ask.
Well, today's the day that we get to chat, You on I.
We get to talk about what's really important...

Should life be more than it is? Hell, i'm even trying to craft a motto, my personal motto:

"Love what you do & Do what you love."

here are a couple of others:
  1. Are you comfortable living in your own skin?
  2. Why should wishes be horses? Why can't they be Gold, Silver or Diamonds instead?
  3. Half a loaf of bread - is just that: Half a Loaf!
  4. Look before you leap - why bother, when you can casually take a detour and stroll instead.
  5. There are old soldiers and there are bold soilders - but I have to ask, why aren' t there any Good Soilders...
Until, i can think of something funny to say...

ciao...

Shit and more shit.... My guts on fire...

Today was kinda hard to define - I spent the early hours of the morning - using the toilet... From 6:00am to about 12:00 pm, I was doing a tango with the toilet... For some reason, my stomach has become very selective of what it accepts as food and what it doesn't...
Any wrong step is instantly punished, with a permanent scheduled visit to the "Gents" until it has purged the offending foods out of ma system...

I just got in and made straight for the keyboard - destination www.blogger.com, to share my thots... I paid a visit to juicy fruiter - simple & lovely sight...

hero of the day... (you decide...)

Since the new year celebrations where kindly exetended to the 2nd to accomodate extra celebrations - the day, which kindly fell on a monday, the first working day of the week - was viewed and greeted with sighs of relief.

While some went about their normal business, others partied or slept or kept indoors or ate themselves into obesity (your pick!) But for some people, who had their homes and places of abode, demolished - it was a very dark and discouraging way to enter the year 2006.

For me, it was a day spent in quiet solitude, I woke up and started preparations to head for my business... i have been there ever since - today's wednesday and I'm still at the muck but very happy with the way things are going.

My partner's handling himself very well, inspite of the many challenges he has faced setting up and running his business- (he's still the pay master of this operation) and I'm grateful for the chance to make money and gain invaluable experience...

There are of course days when you shit pellets of steel and stone, days when the world's at peace with you and you're at peace with the world and days that are just that - days.

regardless - my motto's simple - if it doesn't kill you, it'll only make you stronger!

A new year beckons... (2006)

Like the calls of the sirens - their wailings too melanchonic to resist.

The new yaer provides the lure of things hoped and aspired for - leaving us all in a trance like state. We don't want to hope and be disappointed but we hope nonetheless...

I just resumed duty today - I went to church yesterday, in a very foul mood - I threw my questions at God, wondering why? (My problem's that i worry too much - I see everything in terms of a financial implication). I don't even get to enjoy the cash when it comes because it's there to solve another problem... After the new year church service - I made my way to my old neighbourhood - to catch old friends (most were asleep - from partying hard the previous nite)...
I spent the day at a very good friend of mine (Dalton - I like to call him: Mr "D"), it was a nice time - apart from the tiredness (lack of sleep will do that to you.)

Anyway - I'm here in front of the monitor, my fingers pounding away on the keyboard - waht does the future hold apart from potential promises - I don't know but I'm going to do my damnest to get it rite this time... (it's all or nothing!)

Things are moving as well as can be expected - all things considered.

Happy new year - may your dreams come true!
