Who said it would be easy?

So you wake up in the morning, your feet stomp the ground, you are energetic and wanna change the world. You are thinking, 'today is my day, amma show them what am made of'. You are focused on challenging the challenges and looking out for more, much much more...

Then reality hits you: UMEME is off and you neglected your friend's advise of ironing before going to bed , your landlady hits your door, your rolex guy is not by his usual place; outside the gate to offer you breakfast, your boda guy aint anywhere to be seen so you have to trek some 500m to grab one randomly. Well, you still wont loose it, after all you are full of positive energy.

You make it to work a couple of minutes late and you are set for a brand new day: client calls, mails all the BS,  the yelling and screaming... Talk about the bosses, damn. Well it kinda gets worse by the day that you start wondering whether the world is full of negative energy ready to swallow you up.

Fast forward day in, day out, year in year out and before you know it, its five- ten years down the road and you are still dreaming of changing the world.

Well, tell you what brother, the guys who changed the world had the same life, the same huddles same opportunities and same responsibilities. To some its families that supported them and others, families were at stake or worse still lost. A little endurance, a little focus a little extra work just kept them going. Indeed nobody said it would be easy. Even the shortcuts in life have the most risks.

Its your time baby, its your showtime. Its now or never, if you think you will ever do it, then do it now or forever hold your peace.

WHY DO I EVEN DO THIS


Back in the days, 2011 I was getting my hands frisky with the computer keyboard, my head busy with coding, website design, online presence and so forth. That was the time I had spent a year or two doing some coding in as many (or few) coding languages as  JAVA, Javascript, C, C++ Borland. By then content management systems were in their early days, and we loved frolicking with Dreamweaver. Joomla was the in thing and Wordpress was still for the explorers who knew how to dig dipper.

I remember then I used to sit in the computer lab for up to 8 hours making myself busy on all online platforms and it was great an experience that it gave me a leg up in typing speed. At one point my online charisma earned me a cognomen: Google.

 That was the time I found myself on blogger. Just to learn and see the digital sights. I hope by now you already realized am a terrible writer and with high degree of inconsistency. My fun is not in writing but rather in developing, coding and learning more CMS's, more languages and more platforms. I guess after all it’s for fun and not as tiring as the guys who do it for the dimes.

When guys discover that I have a blog, they get flabbergasted. Then they go through it and are like "So what" I know... That's what I think too.

I am the kind of person who easily gets bored. I don't like monotony. The only longest lasting occurrence in my life is a 10 years old relationship (That's equally .... by now) everything else gets me thinking 'whats next' or 'so what' if I have no positive answer to that, I quit.

I am not quitting this blog thing because I have received one-two-many requests from friends inquiring from me about how to have their own personalized blogs... consultant huh! And that makes it exciting... I am doing this my way. One post a week, maybe a month or a year... lol. let’s just say one post a decade. Whatever it takes. If I like it, I share it: SO WHAT?



Beauty and the Beast: The Girls' Lesson

So I watched Beauty and the Beast last night.    No, it wasn’t on my Must Watch List nor was I particularly looking forward to...
