i got it

The poem i have been waiting for like mad.
Whititude – A.S. Bukenya
I envied his being Negro:
For there he was with his hardened face
That told of night and her mystery,
Of age and varied experience,
In shame, in fear, in joy, his hue the same,
Unlike my baby skin that told of all I felt.
And while I pitied him [...]

i wonder

why every time this week when i tried to help someone and do a really nice thing, all i have gotten is a swift kick in the bottom! not fair and i dont like it at all. Last lesson of BSF, we were looking at The Greatest Commandment and in the applications was the call [...]

the dirty secret

what they really dont tell you about South Africa is that monopoly is a joke and that their local KPLC, ESKOM, here had no plan. they watched us as we increased your consumption of electricity and now they are “rationing” or rather calling it the much prettier load shedding and this means that one week [...]

declarations

I had the opportunity to ask myself a few hard questions this day- why are all the friendships I made as an adult and quite outside of school so full of mountains,valleys and all else in between? I know im not too good with affirmation and all that but i just think im too tired of [...]

beautiful disaster

He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He’s as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain’t right
He’s magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
And do I try to [...]

Finally we got us a new cabinet and we pray that we can finally begin to work at rebuilding the nation. At a glance, this is what it looks like.

oooh boy

I am watching East and Southern Pop Idols and wondering to myself, first of all- when were the auditions held? was I in town while they were being held or had i already gone- I think I have watched all the other idols from pretty much the rest of the world and thus far- NO [...]

books galore

I am at present reading this book and as usual I have read all the reviews about it and I have that warm and fuzzy feeling coz it seems to have been a good choice you know… I have found that I am reading a lot of books about identity as a central theme and [...]

Psalm 16

Lord you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
  you have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
  surely I have a delightful inheritance.
I absolutely love this verse.

press on

When the mountain is steep
when the valley is deep
when the body is weary
when we stumble and fall
When the choices are hard
when we’re battered and scarred
when we’ve spent our resource
when we’ve given our all
In Jesus name we press on
In jesus name we press on
dear lord, with the prize
clear before our eyes
we find the strength to press [...]

crazy in love

I just had me one of these and I thought i had loved until this point.
 Im in love and wonderfully, its the best feeling ever. To poach an egg, yes i started eating eggs again. I saw this really easy recipe.
Place some cling film in a teacup and line it lightly with some oil, break [...]

what does it mean when….

a dude you thinks likes you takes you to watch what’s potentially a porn movie?
a “pal” blacklists you off their Facebook page?
you post on someones wall and they somehow NEVER get to ditto on yours?
you like someone more than they do- be it a gal or a man, whomever?
all the wrong things and thoughts make [...]

should i just keep chasing pavements

even if it leads me nowhere?  Anyway, I am thinking about the situation in Zim and Im just thinking, enyewe Lord, I can’t do this again and not more than four months ago? This is exactly what happened in Kenya not long after the elections and the resulting anxiety, the rumours, the lies, the division, [...]
