I love the fact that words can be mis-interpreted...
Consistently time and time again I have seen this fact proven. Today was one of them - it involved a French phrase of questionable meaning...
Nothing out of the norm but between my friend and colleague in the office (Muyiwa - Ogunmodede) and myself we managed to create a little dazzle of curiosity...
We had people asking themselves and making international calls just to confirm - this phrase...
What a day! if only life could take on a consistent light note and we could laugh and be this happy for awhile...
The month of July is already well on the way - I get to hit the big 3-0 in a couple of days...
What that translates to is any body's guess - I'm still wondering what it all means and what the bottom line for me should be...
My two brothers are back and that makes for a slightly overloaded house but we're use to that I guess - I look forward to pushing out of here for a few days to get some bearing and probably to get some R & R...
I have been bad, very bad and naughty -- however this fact is for me to know and for you to find out!
The last half of 2008 has started and we're trying to hit a bench mark of performance...
There's still so much to do but gladly we're up to the task!
Thoughts about the issues of living, thinking, eating, breathing and other unmentionable acts as "Chinedu"; a mortal hunk of flesh. I have a fascination for words - I think words have an ability, a power of their own to take on life and provide meaning, to cause action, change or destruction... On my beach - things are varied but there are always lessons to be learned and you can never really tell how far the rabbit hole goes. A soap opera of thoughts expressed as words...

how do I feel this morning on the job...
I somehow thought that I had banished the demon of misery...
I had a miserable Friday and for some work related reason - my mood dived deep into an abyss of lost causes and hopelessness...
The weekend helped to restore some balance and i thought that maybe I had put it behind me but here I am again on a fresh Monday morning feeling very weighed down by it all...
It doesn't help that I dislike my working arrangement and loathe the way i am pawned off from department to department and project with reckless abandon...
Maybe I'm looking for stability now or something that provides roots...
I am reminded time and time again of the many frustrations that plague me in the work place - the unfulfilled tasks that are left unfinished, the multiple deadlines and failures to deliver.
I sometimes think I hate it here - it used to give me joy because I thought maybe there was room to expand my vision but maybe I'm making too many wishes. I feel restricted by the hindrance I perceive here...
My job pays the bills and keeps me tied to an income stream albeit - one income stream.
I feel that I am sometimes between the devil and the deep blue sea and that human instinct for choice has been squashed...
I am beginning to hate it here - I feel deeply dis-satisfied and yet I remain...
Why in GOD's name do I feel this way?

Dumping liberty...
A cold morning...
Cold because the air conditioner is working with reckless abandon. I sit across from where its vents blow cold air towards my direction.
I am asking myself th more obvious questions.
You know the ones that always get me back to square one. The ones where I question anything (okay nearly everything) and everything (not quite everything).
As I must have mentioned in an earlier post - I'm going to hit the big 3-0 soon and it is a time for sober reflection. It is one of those days when you realize just how transitive life is - how utterly ordinary it can be and just how EASILY it can come to an end...
There is really no fireworks or clash of cymbals...
I'm question who invented a work system that makes slaves out of all of us...
To pay the bills and to live independently - you likely answer in defense of this system.
What life do you think you have left after scurrying around like a drowning rat from 8 - 5 (in truth most of us tend to give more than this standard time and yet life goes on unnoticed until you find that you've stopped seeing your feet (thick bulging mid-section) and every time you attempt to bend down someone has to help you back up...
Signs of life passing...
seeping away - drip, drip, drip, drip until even this ends...
The question that has constantly haunted my mind is: how can I gain true Liberty?
