6:38 am	Music As the subject states "Music", I try to appreciate all Genre, types and so on but there is one thing I could never understand is some aspect of dancehall or reggae. Or even some artist for that matter, for instance the Artist known as Sizzla. There was a time when you couldn't get me to listen a word from him and then he came out with "Thank you mama". I started listening to him from then...I recently heard another one of his song entitled "Make the best", (Angry I don't believe I sent you that one). There are two lines that I keep playing over in my head. Everybody needs education, Yow! All things fade leaving it standing. That blew me...whenever, school gets to be too daunting I just listen to that song and then follow it up with Be Strong another one of his more popular songs. INTRO You got to get going, No time to sit and doubt Some people not knowing life is a cycle You got to know how to get around CHORUS Yes you got to be strong And be all the best you can The world is out there Conquer your fears And don’t you wait too long Yes you got to be strong And be all the best you can The world is out there Conquer your fears And don’t you wait too long VERSE 1 Aye, how you doing Long time I haven’t seen you Hope you behaving yourself now, Like the good behaving citizen Nothing comes easy You got to work hard, I’m telling you Hope and pray for the best, Cause I believe in you Not like the stereo type, Cleanliness intriguing you Give thanks and praise for my life And for us being here Children times are this good, the system killing us There’s good in us, and we always want you to bring it out Show the world what we’ve got The struggle continues, Yow, Check the conditions, in which we living, Yow I now want come giving yow Got to help to big up inna Our children going to burry the governors you know CHORUS Yes you got to be strong And be all the best you can The world is out there Conquer your fears And don’t you wait too long Yes you got to be strong And be all the best you can The world is out there Conquer your fears And don’t you wait too long VERSE 2 People are filled with expectations, that’s fine with me Opportunity comes but once, so its time for me I don’t think of failure because there’s sunshine for me Something in the back of my head, keep reminding me Keep a listening ear when I call There’s good, and that’s so just be good and stand tall A lot of people out there wish for me to fall I’m not scared I pray to he who had created us all Evils and the demons, woo, I don’t stop with them Heard they don’t like, aye, what’s up with them I just can’t do without Jah love Because it’s like the oxygen I doh in no folly, I doh inna no crap with them CHORUS Yes you got to be strong And be all the best you can The world is out there Conquer your fears And don’t you wait too long Yes you got to be strong And be all the best you can The world is out there Conquer your fears And don’t you wait too long VERSE 3 Aye, how you doing Long time I haven’t seen you Hope you behaving yourself now, Like the good behaving citizen Nothing comes easy You got to work hard, I’m telling you Hope and pray for the best, Cause I believe in you Not like the stereo type, Cleanliness intriguing you Give thanks and praise for my life And for us being here Children times are this good, the system killing us There’s good in us, and we always want you to bring it out Show the world what we’ve got The struggle continues, yow Check the conditions, in which we living, yow I now want come giving yow Got to help to big up inna Our children going to burry the governors you know CHORUS Yes you got to be strong And be all the best you can The world is out there Conquer your fears And don’t you wait too long Yes you got to be strong And be all the best you can The world is out there Conquer your fears And don’t you wait too long I am not saying that he is a musical genius but a few of his songs can be listened to and hopefully those are the one's that will inspire you. Till more time. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:13 pm	Happy New Year!! For months I have blogged or not blogged (as some of you might know) and I have visited sites and read and taken a peep at you all life's. So it came to pass that I actually got to link up with a few of you bloggers and ladies and gents the lineup was as follows...AngryDog, The Doc and Scratchie. So I must say that they are a cool bunch of guys and as Scratchie said in his post I think we lost the Doc on some of the conversation (tech stuff - but he held his own). Smirnoff Ice and a good conversation somehow always go down well. Well, school is back in cession and so far I am lost. The tradition at that school is first week is a idle week because they are never organised. I have been to school two days now and I have yet to have a class and guess what tomorrow is another day. This semester will be interesting because I have once again taken on more than I can chew and the fact that the results for last semester are outstanding. I am excited to find out how well I did on my exams. I can only hope that everyone's christmas was all that they had hoped it would be... and that the new year is filled with all the promise that it brings... The Tsunami issue is overwhelming, the outpour of everyone is touching and it saddens me to think that we can always be like this to everyone...Africa and war and famine, we need to change as a ppl (if that makes sense).

8:50 am	What is out there? Yes, folks school is on a break and I am eagerly awaiting the results from my exams. The good thing is I have already gotten the result of two and only four more to go. I am filled with a lot of mixed emotions lately, probable due to the fact christmas is on its way. You know the thing about christmas is for family and all that coming together. It is normally the loneliest time of the year for me (sad). As I am writing this blog I am watching BBC world news report on the television and the Asian Quake is the main topic. Imagine a Quake of 8.9, how do you, what do you do in a situation like that? Tsunami's are creating a major havoc for those that survived the quake and the flooding is also taking lives....I still say that Jamaica is blessed. I have come to find out lately that I am way behind in the current affairs thing. School had me so much that my head was stuck in books or caught up in meetings whether individual or group (there is this one group member, boy do I want to meet with her more), I only recently heard about the JPS and the bills that some customers have been receiving. What do they take us for? I thought the OUR was set up to protect us, just like how that report after Hurricane Ivan was to look at price gouging by the local supermarkets. The government has been doing stuff and letting stuff go classic example what is the thing with the toll going to $160 (from $50), I shudder to think what the portmore leg of it will cost (I don't drive right now but I do plan to own one). Well has I try to get my mind wrapped around the many changes that have happened during my studying, I will see you all. Merry Christmas and a happy new year..... lata (3 Comments |Comment on this)

6:29 am	In search of...... The title is aptly named, I am in search of something to blog about. The only thing I have to say is that I man need to go on vacation, bredrin work and school getting to me............ The work doesn't seem to quit and the assignments are piling up. Software Engineering 2 (Documentation to be done and a presentation) Operating System (Incourse test and a programming assignment) Advance Communication (Essay and Oral presentation) Environmental Study (Group Presentation and individual assignment) Computer Hardware Network Administration (Lab assignment) Six courses and a multitude of things to be done (MI TIAD NUH RASS!!!)...Angry we need to link, as per usual I require your assistance in thrashing out a line of code. Recently, I have decided not to go to lunch but use the time to study (So I just ask someone to pickup a lunch for me). I wouldn't mind something like that now. I am tired of being chauffeur driven (JUTC - Public transportation). That pic was taken at the last car show held at the Arena. I am hoping to be able to afford a car sometime soon, I live to far (bwoy mi miss harbour view). So till next time wi will link' P.S ( I had posted on Sunday but I seem to have lost that post) (6 Comments |Comment on this)

11:40 am	The week in review!! I know, I know....I haven't been updating regularly but there is a good excuse. Here goes....I am too damn lazy. Well the past week was interesting, let me give you a brief synapsis. 1. Got held up by three punk (pussies) on tuesday while on my way to work. Would you believe I was on Dominica Drive about minutes to seven (7) in the morning. When a car pulled up to me asking for gas money so I told them that I didn't have any money and the next thing I know the two passengers are on me like ice cream on a cone. They took both my cellphones and $3,500.00 that I had on me. Sorry, Doc can't call don't have number. They then drove off in the opposite direction and I was watching them drive off, when they had reach a little way off they turned the car around and sped up to where I was just to tell me that "Pussy yu a go dead". Now tell me did I really need to hear that...considering they took my money and phone. 2. On saturday before going to school I took part in a 5k walk/run put on by the Jamaica Cancer Society. Hey I placed 59th, I need to go into training for next year for the walk (my black ass can barely run). It was fun though it started from the stadium, Arthur wint drive, tom redcam, old hope road, lady musgrave, seymour ave (I think, was gasping for air couldn't look up), old hope road, stanton terrace, roosevelt avenue and back to the stadium. It was for a worthy cause and I encourage all you men to encourage the lady in your (grandmother, godmother,mother, sister, girlfriend, friend) life to do the examinations. Did you know that men can have breast cancer (you live and you learn) but as you might have guessed it doesn't happen as often as in the case of the ladies. I am ok now and trying to deal with work and school (wouldn't mind the $3,500 back though so I can bo by Cuddy'z for a smirnoff ice). I guess I will try to post more regularly from now. The Reggae Boyz drew thier match against Panama, I have only one thing to say.....Sorry we didn't get the full points but a point is better than no point.

6:37 am	Ivan: there and back. Before I do anything, let me first give my condolence to those that lost loved ones during that horrible storm and for my Caymanian friends to you I wish a speedy recovery to some level of normalcy (I have seen the pictures and read the horror story). Well my life is back to normalcy (school resumes today), luckily I didn't suffer any losses during the hurricane (whether roof or otherwise). There was a time during the storm when I thought the windows were going to come in on me. I heard pounding as if someone was outside wanting to come. The water found its way through the door crevices, first it was the back door and I had to be getting up every fifteen minutes to wipe up (my nephews fell asleep eventually, I tried but it didn't work). One things is for sure Jamaica land we love has had some advances over the past 16yrs. I remember after gilbert how long it took for us to get back light or water (I was living in harbour view at the time) and now it didn't take a week. I commend the Light and power people and the wata people dem too. I man a keep it short today. PS. Doc I man alright but I was calling you a few times to find out if you cool and any word from Mad Bull and the family. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

6:41 am	Opportunities...... Hail y'all!! In my last post I mentioned a dinner and a movie, well lets say I have the luck of a garbage collector. After go hol a fresh and fix di I self up and looking rather 'dapper'. I headed off to my place of work to meet this young lady (having finalised everything from in the week), so Dre is there waiting and no one shows up, so I called both her cellphone still no answer (hmmm, most guys would take the hint by now. Nope not me.)so the next step call her home (she shouldn't be home she should be on her way to meet me) and you guessed it - no answer. So I went online trying to kill sometime and about two hours later she comes online (excuse: she had some errands to run for her mom and was running late and none of the phones were working properly). So I just said ok (can't bother to get upset over it), decided to look for something/somewhere else to go. As luck would have it "Good Times" was being held at the Mas Camp so I went across to Cuddy'z to purchase a ticket (ended up purchasing the ticket and having two smirnoff ice in the process - Jamaica is best enjoyed without worrying where you are going to get the money from). So I got in touch with a friend that was going so I had a ride home. Let us backtrack a bit, when I left home I spoke to one of my brothers and asked him to look after something for our nephews because I didn't know how long I would be on the road. So About 9:00pm I went back to Cuddy'z for dinner (burger)and went back to the office to wait on my bredrin. At 11:00pm I got a call from my nephews they were home alone and hungry (my brother didn't look after anything for them as I had ask). So I just left the office and head straight to the "hip strip" (knutsford Boulevard) and get something for them and head home. So $600 down the drain and the dating game is ruff, but I am back in the game. Look out world there is a stressed out and overworked guy lurking and he intends to conquer you. Well, school started with its usual fanfare. Utech has the ability to waste the first two weeks of every semester (there problem is poor organisation). My schedule is fulllll, everyday I have class and Sunday is the only day I have free (free meaning to come into work and get something done). The good news is that Saturday isn't like last semester where the time was 9:00am - 7pm, now it is a lovely 10:00am - 3:00pm (isn't that much better). Network Administration is one of the modules this semester and we will be using 'Windows Server 200' I am looking forward to this course (Once they sort themself out). Would you believe one person won the $140 million, I just wanted about 1/10th of that amount and I could get my house and a car and still have something left over (couldn't retire on that amount). So till a next time we will link..... lata (5 Comments |Comment on this)

6:41 pm	Friday wooo!!! It is friday and the day is good, Jamaica got gold today courtesy of the ladies the gents however got disqualified for stepping into the wrong. The bad thing about is that the ran from the back to come in third. I finally got to check out Cuddy'z (the doc has visited there) and I had lunch and went back after work to have a drink with a bredrin. I must say I love the place, each booth has a touch screen monitor with cable and in the future I am assuming they will have internet and other wonderful function available. Tomorrow I will be doing the whole dinner and a movie thing. Dinner will be at Cuddy'z and the movie is The Manchurian Candidate. I intend to have some "fun" (wish me luck). As for the rest of the day I registered at utech for the upcoming semester so now my schedule is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday (doesn't that sound exciting). Lately, I have a renewed respect for parents (how do they manage), my nephews are now with me and they are going cause me additional stress. The oldest one celebrated his 14th birthday this week and as luck would have it I was washing his clothes and found several condoms in his pants pocket. I had to give him the 'talk' but I was kinda glad that if he is sexually active atleast he is wearing protection. His mother wants him to change his school from Donald Quarrie (a school I have never had any respect for) to somewhere in Portmore, it just so happen she told me that he doesn't go to class when he goes to school but stay at the back of the school and idle with friends (would you believe his father use to do the same thing - must be genetic) so I am going to have to give him another 'talk'. By the time they leave this island, y'all can hire me for conferences and any situation that youngsters require a 'talk'. Okay, my plan during the break was to practice my C programming but instead I am trying to teach myself PHP, why? I have no idea my mind is flighty someone showed me a website that they were creating (that is the problem with IT so much to learn), so now I am interesting learning that. Where is the time I say, I still have the Cisco textbook to look at. One day, one day I say. Hey, Doc link me so we can have a drink by Cuddy'z. V/X of course. PS. De jamaican women athletes dem have some nice ass (I couldn't help but notice). (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:44 am	Conspiracy! So now the lotto is at $140 million, don't you find it strange? I do, of the how many million of people in this country none have been able to come up with the right number. I was in the line on saturday to spend my $120 dollars in the vain attempt to convert it into $120 million (It does have a ring to it). Again not even match three (3) I get, I have been throwing my pawdna (purchasing lotto for some time now)and I am of the opinion that I am due for a draw. So you must understand my amazement on Sunday when I was told that it has reached a whopping $140 million. I need money now!! Pay day is just several days away but I am so broke it is not funny, I could barely find busfare this morning and not to mention that I have to reach home today. I have already done my budget and it is not looking pretty, I am already spending more then I am earning...maybe I will link my 'rich' college professor friend, maybe he can help me out or give me some lotto numbers to buy. Today, my plan is simple I will do as much work as possible thereby leaving my evening free to browse the internet or find something else to do. Once again I have taken up exercising (this is an annual event) but this time it is different (tired of the comments about my gut) I have a plan. The plan is to start dieting (cut back on quantity and go for quality - more veg), exercise will consist of weightlifting, push ups and abdominal exercises, I only need to include some aerobics and I am good to go, my target is December 2004. By then I am thinking that I can see some difference chest, shoulder and abdominals. I use to go jogging on the road but doing it at night with no streetlight can be hazardous. Aside from the obvious cars the road/sidewalk isn't paved and you might end up twisting and ankle, so I am considering heading up into the hills after work (this all depends on a co-workers response to me today)or the Park is another alternative alot of people have been going there to exercise and ladies do look fine (another plus). Asafa Powell didn't medal but I man nuh to worry bout dem ting deh, he will improve and kick butt lata on in the coming years. We small island gi nuff a dem heart failure when dem hearsey we inna de same race. Unnu walk good until next time. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:40 am	Where do we go from here? From time to time I've wanted to post on current issue's affecting our country and then I remember I don't watch the news and hardly read the newspaper. The reason being that simply it depresses me, the first pages of the observer reads like an obituary and if that doesn't kill you the balance drives you further over the edge. The jamaican economy is barely afloat and the constant negativity in the newspaper further erodes any investor confidence we might have in the financial sector. The constant bickering amongst politicians take up the rest of the newspaper, luckily there is the comic strip (calvin and hobbes). Once we could find comfort with the sports section but the W.I.C team is not helping us at all. I know I need to take a more active role in our country (like getting a gun and shooting all dem so call bad man). I will endeavour to read more and watch the news and maybe get into a conversation on the topic. The question of what to do with our growing crime problem. MB as for the kidnapping for a AK-47 that is a shock to me, how can you ransom someone's life for a gun. I guess I need to develop my criminal mind to understand that thought.

6:22 am	Break Time As I sit here to type I am reflecting on the past four months and saying 'hallelujah'. Exams done....listen keenly do you hear that sound...that is the sound of stress falling to the grown. I know I haven't been posting regularly lately, been spending my days and a few nights at utech (overnight twice). So Maas Charley came, he saw, he blew alot of wind, would you believe my study group was at school during all of it. Studying and cooking, man I wish I was there it sounded like fun. On another note: So we will be facing the US tomorrow in our eternal battle to beat them. I think we have a fair shot if our midfielders feel like playing, I would like to see the inclusion of Keith Kelly in the midfield. I have seen him play for the under - 23 and maybe once for the senior. He has a lot of vision when releasing the ball and the fact that he has some international experience is an asset, he is currently contracted to Arnett Garden Football Club but I believe he will inject a great deal of vision into the team especially in the attacking half. I have been reading you guys blog even though I haven't been updating my own. The Angrydog's trip was interesting, glad to hear that Doc and Mad Bull weren't affected by Charley. Right now I want to give a link to my brother in florida to see if he is ok (he hasn't called). Right now all I am thinking about is kicking back, hopefully a little beach scene and hopefully I will finally get the chance to go to the QUAD and see what it is all about. Again I have intentions of practicing my coding (Datastructure wasn't easy and I foresee a resit), I intend to get it this time. c'est la vie lata (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:58 am	Interesting. I got into the office this morning and as usual, my routine started. 1. Sign in to MSN (see if the angry dog is online to give the usual morning growl). 2. Check mail (consisting mainly of deleting junk mail). 3. And the fun part Reading you guys blogs. Today I ran out of the house and left every farthing (money) I have, luckily I had a little bus fare on me or else mi nuh kno' weh mi woulda haffi tell di ducta (see mi a foot it ovah the causeway). So mi call mi house and beg mi bredda fi carry di money come fi mi before he goes to his place of work. So I am at work and waiting for him and decide to call him (I work in new kingston), he then tells mi he is downtown. So I asked him why, he couldn't get a bus to half way tree so he took a bus to downtown and then a bus to half way tree (bwoy smart yu si). So I am sitting here waiting on the 'Genius' before I can go and get something to eat. Hopefully, he will turn up soon.... On a different note, Doc mi sarry seh Safa no deh bout fi interpret dat deh dream weh yu did hav. When I use to live in Harbour View I did the same thing (sleep with the window open) and many a night I had that fear. We had a plum tree at the back of the yard and it cast some very disturbing shadows, mi would jus check fi see if the machete was still in the spot I left it. Tonight I will attempt an all night studying because exams start on monday and my mind is blank. So untill a next time mi will chat too unoo So lata. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

3:19 pm	Weekends As you might be aware already this is the week of many breaks. Independence day and Emancipation day (I feel the urge to burst out into Bob's song "emancipate yourself from mental slavery"), I was by utech yesterday (30/7/04) by the auditorium and they were about to hold a Independence show entitled "Our Heritage." I was just there watching the rehearsal which consist of little girls dancing to elephant man and many more artist. Now can someone please explain to me when Elephant man's songs have become part of our heritage. Growing up I use to enjoy the "Festival Song Comptetition" and the went and change it to the "Popular Song Festival". Can anyone remember Roy Rayon, The Astronaut's and songs of that nature, now you can enter with anything, I am surprised that I haven't heard Rap as yet. The things I have seen that have changed over the years....I remember as a child beating out the soda bottle covers and boring two holes in them and running string through them to make a "zinger" (the name might be incorrect) only to see someone selling one (that looks like it came from a factory) yesterday with all the bells and whistle (light flashing), I remember the days of running up and down in harbour view with my wheel and wire, playing with gigs. As far as I know isn't that part of our heritage, but we are in the Nintendo generation (Generation X) and the things of the past are kept in the past. I don't see anyone making trucks out of empty drink boxes.....I miss those days of using a bingy (slingshot) to hunt for birds in the hills in harbour view. On the matter of our heritage I remember as a child my mother would take me downtown to see the Jonkanoo doing there thing on King Street, there are so many things that have disappeared over the years....what can we do to bring them back? This is a bit long.....but there are something that are important. As they say you need to know where you are coming from to know where you are going.

8:01 am	Changes are needed Remember I was talking about the residents of the fishing village being relocated, this is an update. It is unfortunate that they make their living fishing else the relocation wouldn't be so hard. Now we are preparing to face the US in a World Cup Qualification match next month, we retained the services of Mr. Lazaroni and Carl Brown is still involved but we still have the same players. I suggested we find a new midfield. Let us look at some of our more popular player. 1. Theodore Whitmore - He is at the top of the list. Experienced, talented, versatile (somewhat), scored the two goals for us in the 1998 world cup. A.k.a the magician and I am tempted to agree with the nickname the man has the ability to disappear throughout a game. Has the ability to carry the ball forward, but continues to play the ball back to his defenders. We need to work on his attacking prowess. 2. Onandi Lowe - We will ignore him for now. He has too many legal matters to deal with. 3. Deon Burton - Why? The man is dun, him no got nutn lef. 4. Ricardo Fuller - Potentially one of jamaica's most potent player up front, but he needs to fully recover from his knee injuries. Failed move to Portsmouth is reason for him to get some rest. 5. Jamie Lawrence - When he first joined the team he was a godsent, hustles well in the midfield, hard tackling. Alas he has reached the retirement age in football 30+ and his pace has slowed down. We need to find another player with his style. That is it for now.....if you know of any others let me know, we can discuss. So tek care yu ere. Lata (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:35 am	Has it begun? I am still cracking up over Angry dawg's post on the Doc's double life (I want to ask the doc still is Halle just as sexy in real life as she is on the television - he has the hook up). Perfect use of Photoshop (I know have ideas). Pssst!! doc if you want to get back at angry still, hook him up with the dogs that have been disturbing you. What I like to look at is the construction going on ie. highway. For those you who have been away for sometime just going to portmore via the causeway is a major change going on. The little fishing village has been relocated to across the road (still don't see the reasoning behind that one), and the widening of the road. They have been dumping into the sea to widen the road. Considering that eventually you will have to pay a toll to go to portmore. That has some residents and business's in portmore a bit "perturbed". The residents are complaining about the additional cost, take for instance the man that works in portmore but his wife works in town. look at the amount of toll he would have to pay. 1. He drives her to work - pays toll 2. Returning to portmore to go to work - pays toll. 3. Goes for wife in the evening - pays toll 4. They return home - pays toll. it is cheaper for him to give her the car and he takes the bus/route taxi around portmore. That is an example of a resident but the business's are saying that it will drive potential shoppers from coming to portmore when they have to consider the additional cost involved. Last I heard there was to be a meeting to discuss the cost of the toll, I am still waiting to hear the verdict on that one. So till lata mi gone (3 Comments |Comment on this)

6:34 am	Time I am sitting here trying to figure out what I am going to say.....I don't have a clue, there are topics but which one. Do I once again dive into my life and repeat the same mundane story of how things are or do I look outside and discuss more social issue's. I have no idea, not that there aren't matters that I feel passionate about. It is now 6:38am locally, the thought of coming to work and just watch the day go to waste (my boss might disagree), I keep having this image of me going to the beach whether by myself or with friends it doesn't matter and just kicking back with something light like a smirnoff ice and some jerk pork (nothing beats that) and a hammock so I can either go for a swim or kick back in the hammock with a good book and read until I fall asleep. Well locally we have two holidays coming up "Independence and Emancipation day", I will be home or work studying. I have noticed a disturbing trend and that is my temper, I am becoming to irritable quite easily. I played football on Saturday past and my mind is still on the game, I do believe there will be another game on Saturday and I am thinking that I might play again...maybe in a goalkeeper capacity because my left knee else I would be playing up front. I like playing out in a more advance position (not that I am any good) I love to setup the goals, making that final pass, dribbling pass my opponent and just playing the game. I particularly love when instincts take over, I just react getting by other players. So until there is world peace or bush is out of power and the JLP becomes a united party acting in the interest of the country and not in their individual's need for power. Peace out.

6:43 am	The little things Hola, let us recap the last week or so. 1. I am dropping Operating System I can't manage the bloody thing and the teacher is trying to us/me (that is my opinion). 2. Got my result for my intro to software engineering (62.5%) not bad considering I only started studying the day before the test. 3. As luck would have it I didn't go to class last week saturday, but imagine my surprise on friday gone when a class mate of mine asked me if I was ready for the test on saturday.......I quickly said to him "test?"...so I spent friday night into saturday morning swatting lines of code. Only to have mainly theory on the test and not a lot of coding. 4. My left knee has been bothering me for some time now and I was suppose to do a X-ray on my knee. However, I was choosing not because it wasn't hurting anymore. So using my infinite wisdom I went to play football over the weekend at school after class. let us just say the first ball that came to me left me on the ground, I went and awaken the pain and now the slightest of movement leaves me in pain. So the X-ray is back on the agenda, tomorrow the latest...I need painkillers damn knee. 5. And my nephews obviously don't like me....I am of that opinion. Or they like the sound of my voice, it so happens that I had to raise my hand to them on saturday for their lack of judgement (would you believe they took someone's bicycle and carried it to the house and lied to me about it). They are now in confinement/solitary. 6. So I am now preparing for my calculus test on Tuesday and then onto my Data Structure assignment and preparing for the finals which are about two to three weeks away (this week included). I am still trying to find my way in the world, still trying to accomplish a few things, still trying......... Things I had set out to accomplish this year haven't taken fruition as yet, do not think for a minute that I have given up or forgotten about them. Unfortunately time does not permit me to all of them right now. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:02 am	Its been awhile!! I not lying it has been awhile since I added anything to my blog...reason being. I have no reason other than "mi too damn lazy". As usual my cry of school and work is still there. Worse this summer semester I fell totally out of it...I do not have the drive to go to school and I am doing poorly because of that....I am now self diagnosing myself to find out if I am suffering from depression. Yeah, yeah, I know I keep mentioning that but you have to wonder. I am trying to work things out but nothing, calculus, data structure and Software Engineering are the modules I will continue working on for this semester but Operating System has got to go (the bloody assignment is due and I haven't really begun to code I spent too much time trying to setup the graphical aspect of the program). What will become of me this days.....the guys from school are planning to play some football after class on saturday. I am looking forward to it (in my unfit state) the feel of the leda (ball) at my feet, dribbling and passing are what I like to do. I am not a goalscorer...I like to set it up, the final touch that is me. Well, my personal life as per usual is Non-existent and due to my current schedule it is difficult to do anything now. What to do? What to do? Spiderman 2 is out and I haven't seen it as yet, I really don't want to watch the bootleg copy but if I miss out on the theater experience then I have no choice. Darn it. So until next time....I will link, see, hola, shout you. P.S. I man can't stop big up di I bredrin Angrydawg, on his accomplishment recently though he might disagree. For that I say "tuff". Hopefully, one day when I reach dem levels deh di man will be happy fi di I. (Comment on this)

8:37 pm	I have no idea. Well exams are over and I think I did well enough, but then again, there have been times when the teacher's opiniion and my own have had conflicts. So we patiently await there verdict. You would think that since my exams are over I would be out partying. but nooo. I am working my tail feather off trying to put through some things so I can go off on vacation. It is progressing slowly. Come to think of it, I haven't even gotten laid. Now tell me, isn't that just sad. There are women around me and yet nothing, zero, zilch, nada........you get the trend developing. I am trying to stay away from the negative today, you know, like the tiredness, bruk pocketness, the shabby attire. I went and check out another gym today and my bredrin and I have decided to go to "technofitt" so I will start when I return from my trip. I am excited about this new venture, I can only hope I can find the time to go with the demand of school and work (you would think that is more reason why I should go). I want to feel the burn, muscle aches and pain. Bench pressing, squats, working on my lats, triceps, biceps and abdomen. Aches and pain here I come.......

6:27 pm	My way It is upon me again, the dreaded exams. I say to you exam, fuck you. You have stressed me enough and now it is my time to kick your sorry ass. DBMS2 I know I will be facing you with a minimal amount of grades but guess what, fuck you too. My intention is to kick your ass, I have kick logics in the ass already. You, yes you C programming I know you are planning to ambush me but to you I also say, "fuck you motherfucker". Today is a friday and though you might expect me to be out drinking and partying I say no. I intend to study, and prepare my mind for the onslaught you all will bring to me. With each stroke of my pen, like Bruce Lee practicing his Kata so shall I be flawless and smooth. I will approach you cautiously, not being over confident but like a fight respects his opponent but does not fear him. I am preparing mind and body for our showdown, I am in need of rest and a little fun and you have deprived me of these for four months now. Your death will be a slow painful death and I will take great pleasure from it. And on another note, I am in need of something no one can give me but myself....you might be asking yourself what could that possibly be. The thing is it could be a wide range of things, confidence, love of self, the need to remove all self loathing. I am hoping to come out of that slump soon, I really want to join a gym and do some work out. I generally feel good about myself when I am lifting weights. Worst if I see any signs of improvement, you know chest, shoulder, arms, legs...I can't wait. Current Mood: creative Current Music: Jagged Edge - I gott (1 Comment |Comment on this)
