Miss me?

Well since taking a few days off the blogspot for sanity's sake I'm back with a vengence. I must admit that the eureka blog was abit off but I started typing and realized I was running out of time so I decided to blame the closest element and that turned out to be the compliments a la Kariithi centre. I did actually laugh a whole bit when I read it.. not neccesarily lengthwise or Kui would win hands down) ......( I will finish it though) dont despair.

Yaani Denis you have a knack for chekeshaing me no matter what anyway sweet revenge will be mine when all realize that I and not Mr 60 % of the curent vote are the most scintillating read. (note I plan vote and vote and vote Kui till I get 99% of the vote)na hiyo ndiyo maendeleo.

By the way I have a sneaky feeling that Wangu will soon be with us so I'm greasing my blogging joints.

Also I'm sure you are all wondering why the heck I'm asking if you missed me. (seeing as I blog almost every other day) Well in case you hadn't noticed Denis blogged twice in a row before I got my hand in....ya'll know what that means

See you when I'm sane again...when will that be though..will it ever be? I leave you withe 2 words....Catch 22

if haven't read it read it soon...

p.s
The most beautiful thing happened to me today. My friend named his first born daughter after me. I'm touched beyond words. Said he htinks I make a good role model for her and I donnu what to do but just wow praise God ihnit?


ok all of you follow suit!!!

a lil somethin extra

AS if the blog was not cool enuff..I thought ofkeeping up to speed with the stuff that was going on in ur lives with the help of a 'community calender'.. THat was the intended purpose of the calender from the beginning, but i managed to sit my distracted ass down and got it barely fucntioning...still have a lot of fine tuning to do..so kindly test it so that any bugs can be attended to while I'm still in the zone. A good idea would be to add all your bithdays using the ka simple interface i added on the side bar...I posted an example event on the 29th i think, so u can hover over it with ur mouse or double click it to get te full lowdown..feel free..birthdays, anniversaries, milestones, not so important milestones, reminders, random stuff your doin..

ok badly in need of some sleep.....

later folks...

Am i cool or am I coool

ok ok..I could not resist the urge to floss juuuust a lil bit....this is Gmail people...it is in Beta testing..in simple non techie language..that means only the cool people get it first to get a taste before the masses are allowed to flock in...right now theres only 2 types of people...those with Gmail accounts and those without....Where do you belong muhahaahahhaa...it feels great to be in an exclusive group no lie..this is no thrid Reich..just a gmail account. I feel like one of those silly kids with an ipod aki...this is bragging rights for atleast a week before google take over the world!!

SO whats the big deal with this anyway..why is this kid so excited. Well i'll take the liberty of filling you in incase you werent alreayd aware. Google, my friends, the search engine geniuses, jus made anodther great leap. The apparent April's folols Joke was quite real - they were indeed offereng a free email service with 1Gb of service to rival the existing yahoo's and Hotmails of the industry. Thas like 250 times more storage than any of their rivals offer for free. THis is basically free data storage . Google have made in my opinion a significant step towards the impening war against microsoft. A war for Data. A war of mass numbers and traffic that they are currently winning. They are taking over the desktop as the conventianal platform for organisation of Data. THere has to be a catch your thinking..well sorta.
Wthin the service, emails will contain unobstrusive content based ads ..sort of like they with their ad-sense program. Not too much to ask for something free..

Anyway I'm off tangent...bottom line.. I'm cool and your not..haha
Though i think you will all recieve one shortly just by the virtue of being an active blogger..

Muchos gracious

I was telling Kui the other day that i think i have found my "thing" ..u know..the thing that gets u up in the morning..the thing that drives u go about ur work..the joue de vive as they would say here in montreal, the Zest for life the..ok ok so i'm sure u get my point..I think for me it might be connecting people. Connecting people. I get un unusual kick out of it... I anabashedly admit that this whole blogger thing has me going bananas man..I am trying to get eeeveryone together through it. And when i find that folks like Kibet take time, pay money at a cyber(albeit a meeagre amount of sijui 1 bob a minute) to come and blog..aaah my heart glows!! It shouldnt come as any surprise then that I am into software gadgets and gizmos that get people together and amount to sharing of Data..Thats where I'm headed i think. Just not enough hours in a day I tell you..(same number that Einstein, Mendel, and Donald Trump have though).
You may think this is just as pointless as my other blogs haha but noo..i think its rather quite significant..
In that Ive put a finger on that 'thing' and this blog is history in the making. watch this space!!

On a lighter note...It seemed that what was lacking in the site was a slight competitive feel to the blogs..u know..something to get the juices pumpin and get u folks on ur typing away on a regular!! Supposedly Blogging daily is supposed to increase your IQ, so My freinds..all is not lost!! So in true Democratic fashion, I have added a new poll on the sidebar that will be used by all..lol its pretty apparent that we will all vote for ourselves..so think only the candidates with the most blogs in a week will be considered...The idea is to vote for the most engaging(not neccesarily lengthwise or Kui would win hands down), interesting thread author for that week.

Pigeni Milolongo Kura zipigwe!!!

Its been a while

.
.
.Hi people

its been a while since I've just sat down and done nothing. Notice I haven't said thought of nothing.As I type this I'm plotting my worka nd how I'm not going to sleep all night because I'm determined to do it. I'm also plotting to quiting my part time work and all my volunteer work in order to vegetate infront of my computer and my dest and study my ass of. The mosules I picked for my final year have turned out to be though my kinda stuff, pretty hard. I'm also contemplating my futuer and what to do with is since things are liooking rather fuzzy right now. Not that it worries me I quite enjoy this limbo land. However it has made me realize I need to make more solid plans and decisions esp if intend to avoid haertache and death due to deconversationed.

I feel like a big big girl in a gigantic world. But you know what God is sufficient right. On that I have to say I learnt a song this week at musicians that completely and I mean completely defines my state of mind and soul right now....now if i can only find the words....


Everything, everything
Lord you are everything to me
My treasure, my priority
who can compare to you
Great is the measure of your royalty
oh morning star you truly are
Everything


If you wanna hear it its here
yaani hapa

then maybe you'll understand why I love it soo much

Until another time then,
Stay safe ;)

Food for thought

Hey ya'll so maybe you aren't running down the alter yet but admittedly some of you inevitably will be. Heres somin to think about before you go that step further. I think its all pretty realistic and truthfull but you jua what they say about one mans meat... iTS PRETTY LONG BUT BARE WITH ME AIIGHT...
mad love ya'll XxX

When it comes to making the decision about choosing a life partner, no one wants to make a mistake. Yet, with a divorce rate of close to 50 percent, it appears that many are making serious mistakes in their approach to finding Mr/Ms Right! If you ask most couples who are engaged why they're getting married, they'll say: "We're in love." I believe this is the number one mistake people make when they date. Choosing a life partner should never be based on love. Though this may sound not politically correct, there's a profound truth here. Love is not the basis for getting married. Rather, love is the result of a good marriage. When the other ingredients are right, then the love will come. Let me say it again: You can't build a lifetime relationship on love alone. You need a lot more.


Here are five questi! ons you must ask yourself if you're serious about finding and keeping a life partner.


QUESTION 1: Do we share a common life purpose? Why is this so important? Let me put it this way: If you're married for 20 or 30 years, that's a long time to live with someone. What do you plan to do with each other all that time? Travel, eat and jog together? You need to share something deeper and more meaningful. You need a common life purpose. Two things can happen in a marriage. You can grow together, or you can grow apart. 50 percent of the people out there are growing apart. To make a marriage work, you need to know what you want out of life, bottom line-and marry someone who wants the same thing.


QUESTION 2: Do I feel safe expressing my feelings and thoughts with this person? This question goes to the core of the quality of your relationship. Feeling safe means you can communicate openly with this person. The basis of having go! od communication is trust - i.e. trust that I won't get" punished" or hurt for expressing my honest thoughts and feelings. A colleague of mine defines an abusive person as someone with whom you feel afraid to express your thoughts and feelings. Be honest with yourself on this one. Make sure you feel emotionally safe with the person you plan to be with.


QUESTION 3: Is he/she a mensch? A mensch is someone who is a refined and sensitive person. How can you test? Here are some suggestions. Do they work on personal growth on a regular basis? Are they serious about improving themselves? A teacher of mine defines a good person as "someone who is always striving to be good and do the right thing. "So ask about your significant other: What do they do with their time? Is this person materialistic? Usually a materialistic person is not someone whose top priority is character refinement. There are essentially two types of people in the world: Peopl! e who are dedicated to personal growth and people who are dedicated to seeking comfort. Someone whose goal in life is to be comfortable will put personal comfort ahead of doing the right thing. You need to know that before walking down the aisle.


QUESTION 4: How does he/she treat other people? The one most important thing that makes any relationship work is the ability to give. By giving, we mean the ability to give another person pleasure. Ask: Is this someone who enjoys giving pleasure to others or are they wrapped up in themselves and self-absorbed? To measure this, think about the following: How do they treat people whom they do not have to be nice to, such as a waiters, bus boy, taxi driver, etc. How do they treat parents and siblings? Do they have gratitude and appreciation? If they don't have gratitude for the people who have given them everything, you cannot expect them to have gratitude for those who can't do nearly as much for them!! Do they gossip and speak badly about others? Someone who gossips cannot be someone who loves others. You can be sure that someone who treats others poorly will eventually treat you poorly as well.


QUESTION 5: Is there anything I'm hoping to change about this person after we're married? Too many people make the mistake of marrying someone with the intention of trying to "improve" them after they're married. As a colleague of mine puts it, "You can probably expect someone to change after marriage...for the worse!" If you cannot fully accept this person the way they are now, then you are not ready to marry them. In conclusion, dating doesn't have to be difficult and treacherous. The key is to try leading a little more with your head and less with your heart. It pays to be as objective as possible when you are dating; to be sure to ask questions that will help you get to the key issues. Falling in love is a great feeling, but when you wake up with a ring on your finger, you don't want to find yourself in trouble because you didn't do your homework.


ANOTHER PERSPECTIV! E... There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going anywhere relationships. Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention. Which ones lift and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill? When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know, or appreciate you? The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you...the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.

An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye." Before you get involved and make a commi! tment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really that important.


Once you decide to commit to someone, over time their flaws, vulnerabilities, pet-peeves and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn how to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses and strengths. You are two unique individual children of God who have decided to share a life together. Neither one of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do you bring out the best in each other? Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare and control? What do ! you bring to the relationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain?


You can't take someone to the altar to alter them. You can't make someone love you or make someone stay. If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and "a life" you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain.


Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship. Seeking status, sex, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship.


WHAT KEEPS A RELATIONSHIP STRONG IS:


01. TRUST
02. COMMUNICATION
03. INTIMACY
04. A SENSE OF HUMOR
05. SHARING TASKS
06. SOME GETAWAY TIME WITHOUT BUSINESS OR CHILDREN
07. DAILY EXCHANGES (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a not! e)
08. SHARING COMMON GOALS AND INTERESTS
09. GIVING EACH OTHER SPACE TO GROW WITHOUT FEELING INSECURE
10. GI VING EACH OTHER A SENSE OF BELONGING AND ASSURANCES OF COMMITMENT

If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode, as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty and pain will replace the passion.


Plant seeds of righteousness and you will be sure to reap that which is organic and truly edified by God.

I got hit on by a white guy

Ok so maybe this isn't surprising to anyone but me....however in my three year stint in this country (UK)I haven't got picked up bya white guy ever. I didn't really think much of it till someone asked me about it a few weeks back.. Anyway so it fianlly happened. Nice enough looking guy but i quickly discovered what had made him so brave as to step up to me. He'd been drinking and boy could I tell from his breath....you guys should know by now that i just can't stand certain smells well beer is up there with the no no's. Anyway breathe aside he made really good conversation, quite a laugh until he decided to be very forward and ask for my number coz he wanted to take me out and show me around(do guys have a diff line?.. oh yeah he also used the would like to get to know me better one), and I dropped the whole my boyfriend wouldn't approve of this routine on him...gutted though he was, he was pretty pleasant about it though i was relieved that the bus had reached my stop and I could get home and blog about it....

third night in a row i'm sleeping at a really odd hour guess whats gotta be done gotta be done. I really would like to finish this report writing tonight but the more I write the more i find to write and the more I want to write. Its a mad mad world. But I really have to get this done coz I've been invited to a meal tommorow...Yes sosmeone is cooking for me, big relief from me cooking (to think I'd defrosted the chicken and all) What the heck recently I've been wanting to make a certain human being a good meal but haven't got the chance to so I guess its my reward for having good intentions to have a meal done for me.

Have I mentioned I suffer from flirtitosis? well here it is i just flirt uncontrollably when the situation presents itself. No boys don't worry I'm not like a mean sort of flirt I let the guy know I'm playing from the start but lately I've been wondering if I'll ever manage to put a lid on it. I really enjoy it. Well just coz the guy is smiling at the end of the day and not expecting me to jump into his arms as well. If I could get given five reasons why this is destructive behaviour I'd probably stop(naaaa). In the meantime though I'm putting myself on a fast from men.Was gonna do it for a week starting tommorow but here comes this offer to lunch and I couldn't resist. So starting Monday no men till Saturday I'll let you know how it progresses. Should be good I happen to be very cynical about the positives in this life from the male species.;)

I've noticedI write the longest blogs here as well .....terrible time management? or simply a lack of things to do? I'm still trying to work it out. Until then I'll call it a night and write a shorter blog later on just to make myself feel better.


p.s Really great to see you guys here Kibet and Thomas
p.s Thomas really sorry we keep missing each other on msn these days I always recieve your wallapas but whenever i reply I get the he/she appears offline garb..


L8R

natujenge Nchi...

is it the coffee , the crack(disclaimer: mum this is not me..), or jus the adrenaline keepin me goin..believe it or not i have been awake for a long long while...feeling drugged/zombie like..but folks whove seen me insist my boyish good looks dont give it away. I succumbed to the temptation people...I am in the meat house..and boy do i tell u there are some FIIIINE women at mcgill come exam time...Where the hide during the rest of the year iI dont know..but with a stunning frequency they elegantly grace the hallways of the library..pretending that they cant notice me noticing them notice that i am noticing...ahhhIf i wasnt hard at the books i wouldve had a few numbers but now..alas vitue and discipline have their place!

Summmer time is coming and i cant wait..campus looks pristine at 6am in the morning with not a sign of life in the line of sight.. nuthin but orange sun rays, squirells, doves all over the now incongruent green of our fields..I feel like I have a sense of purpose..thinking to myself look at all these slackers in their slumber...i'ma take over the world...ten mintes down the line..playing chess on my kam PDA!! On the real though ive put in some good work...still got a long way to go..

more later...

Guess who's back

wooo ok..The world is spinning way too fast..I feel like I was put on a malfunctioning merry go round and
I need to get off..getting dizzy...

I just had my big project demonstration and it was just one of them days I tell you...The ones where everything [continued hehe] everything went wrong. We stayed up pretty much all night debugging(read having fun and messing around for the last time) our proect in earnest preparation for our prof and his TA's. Come morning..Out of a teenie weenie list of things that could go wrong - all of the did. 1) our User manual printed out for the prof and his TA's got stolen!! yes stolen..just trust me on that one..so in true "my dog ate the homework" fashion, we speed up to the closest colour printers and hurriedly reprint them. On return..we find the prof going through our game with one intent..TO BREAK IT. and boy does he do a good job. So he finds a few bugs..no big deal right? wrong..my groupmates are what i would now call Anal about programming. Right there infornt of the prof they begin to display their frustration..one starts yelling and punching away at a nearby keyboard, claiming he could've sworn he fixed the bugs.., another partner stands on the wall now like a deflated balloon..murphy's law in FULL effect. So here i am
trying to pacify the situation. didnt go too well either...anyway...whats done is done..all we can hope for is the best right now. word of cation though..never assume things will go fine just because..

Meanwhile it is Crunch time for exams...how do i Know? not becasue i should know tat my exams are drawing dangerously closer..noo. Becasue the Library is a MEAT market again. quite scary ...it has the highest per square foot denisty of what we like to call McGirls.. Girls who put on pyjama looking sweatpants and jumpers, but whose faces and hair are extrememly made up...I'm talking eyeshadow, cheek powder, lipstick..the whole nine yards. Not only that..it is entirely a social event that library. A chance to catch up the folks you havent met aalll year. A place to whine/compete about how much your life sucks at this moment in time. Or a place to brag about how much money they will be making over the summer. It would suffice to say it is not exacty my favourite place to study.

Funny my mom and Dad just went to see the passion of the Christ..my mom loved it and thought it was scary whereas my Dad reaaaly hated it. Actually he thought it was disgusting and made no sense at all ...cant wait to talk to him about it. You know its a truly effective work of art when it brings out people's true, PI(politically incorrent) sentiment. What did you folks think of the passion?

happy belated Easter????

man ,,,
I've just had a looooong easter celebration weekend??(is five days of doing nothing classifiable as a weekend? I hope so)

Caught up with a homie from high school I hadn't seen for five years and realized the more things change the more they stay the same.yeah so he was my derailment frrom dropping in on him for the Sunday afternoon, I ended up hanging about till teusday and I tell you only the pong and lack of clothes to change into that caused the trip home to be made. too much fun. OH yeah and cool new friends. I'm a miss them ...twas deep..twas emotional..

No I did reflect on what easter was all about .... and recieved loads of chocolate and a bunny but since this isn't how i was brought up easter remaineda present less time for me.I didn't mess up any harmonies I had to do int he musical performance put on by my church and it was really successful bless God.

Got in touch with my folks and brothers and they were on their way to lake Bogoria actually spoke to them as they were settling down to lunch at my favourtite chinesse place.....ooo to be home and with my family at Easter. So toally different out here. But hey I might not appreciate the value of having family around for such occassions if I wasn't soo far from them. NO nyama choma no daddy making me swallow fatty pieces of meat, or mommy to tell me to wash the dishes. And all alchohol consumption was done by me not my dad....:( I wanna be home.

Now I'm back and realising that this blog has been neglected thw whole time I'vebeen away.. c'mon people lets get back in touch I miss reading those thoughts.
until another day then.........
God bless and apprecuiate Christs death on the cross for what it was..a gift of Love

talks about insomnia, body odours and dogs..

Its 1.21am and I can't sleep. I am very tired and I really would rather be in lala land but alll I can think of is some silly song involving a huge samosa (which by the way isn't how the original version goes),my days in MKA and how much I would love to relive them..(for those not in the know MKA is the best primary school you wish you'd been to) So what to do, apart from jealously watch my sister sleep I've decided to hola at ya.

I really shouldn't have mentioned Mr halitosis last night but he really had got to me. This morning I went to work (which by the way is a mental home) and it stunk soo bad I COULD'VE BEEN SICK. Note to self carry nose peg wereva I go. On a more serious note my favourite patient is on level 1.(meaning he attempted suicide and is know on a 24/7 watch until further notice. This really tagged at my heart... I really love this dude coz he's so sweet and he thinks I'm pretty and beautiful ( I mean whats not to love about that?) I wish i could do somng to help him but I'm kinda cluealess int he meantime I'll pray.You know God usually has brighter ideas than we credit him for.

As for scrappy,(ask me what I think of this name privately) immediately I read this you know me I ran throught the scriptures in my head and I concluded that you might well be with scrappy in eternity.
Why do I think this,

Not that I think animals have souls or anything but because of teh logical pattern of thought I came uop with.
Genesis 1:24
Then the Lord commanded "Let the earth produce all kinds of animal life domestic andwild etc.......andhesaw it was good "
that makes dogs part of Gods creation..

then we go to my fav chapter of the bible

Rom 8:19-22
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now;

revelation of the sons of God will bring about freedom of all creation from the bondage of dacay which was brought about by the fallof man. meaning (this is my humble opinion) that originally i.e. garden of eden creation also had eternal life.(i.e didn't decay or anything)

the glorious liberty of the sons of God is ..the gift of God which is eternal life through Jesus christ.
So if creation is gonna get this and dogs are part of creation there is hope...( this is all in my understanding I'm no theologian but it makes sense to me)

I think animals have feelings as well. another little bible passage where God is questioning Job,Job 38:39- Job 39:8
in this passage God responds to the cries of the animals which means they communicate their needs to him.

So there you have it my insomnia driven blog.
Hope it explains something...anything..


Don't need the sun to shine..
Don't care if its dark outside..


talk about insomnia, bad odours and dogs....

..Virtual Insanity...

what do these dancehall Stars get promised??

Huskii Sean-a-paul is is NAI!!!! man i jus watched the guy on Nation news and u can feel Nairobi Throbbing with anticipation..as per Kawa.. his airport arrival was met with (too)much pomp and show..mpaka our minister of Tourism Raphael tuju JIPOXING vibaya sana..feeling all freindly and familiar with the Sean.. lol i was not amused...Whats worse..the nigga flies aaaaallll the way to Kenya to perform one 1 and an half hour show !!! surely bana.. what do these cheps get promised..?? think about it..never ending travel advisories...an largely unconfirmed fan base....possibility of being mauled by lions..(jus playin for all u non Kenyans..)..(but my point exactly if u havent been there b4 its kind of a risk to take..)Somehting tells me these tours from big regea stars have NOTHING to do with meeting their beautiful African people..it has to do with the mulaaa... So is it becoming clear that Nairobi is the Hedonist capital of Africa?? I dont think this guy would fair quite as popularly in Morroco or Algeria ...

aaah listen to me hate..the same fella who,circa 1993, elbowed through that sick sea of humanity with the sole intent of an autograph and 2.3 seconds beside Shabba ranks!!!!!!! which , might i add, is not worth very much right now..

I swear..pop/ragga/hiphop culture is way to pervasive man....self sustaining.. not too sure..Shabba yuko wapi siku hizi.. nigga should've invested in something but giiirls giiirls everyday...from london Canada and USA..(love that guy)

Hope Sean will be smarter ten years down the line when the next ragga King visits Nai..as for Kenyan folk..prepare to depart with a few thousands in the name of a fiiickle performance..

..body odours

Is it just me or do body odours bother more people than me? I have today suffered in the hands of Mr Halitosis. OOOO all I could think was God give me grace. You know how God tests us and our love for otheres I have a feeling he's having a ball with me. I mean hey I am totally being confronted by smelly people every where I go.......aaaaaw SAVE ME!!!!

U never think about it until its hits your family...

Haha u intend to beat me on my own blog???! ha that's a laugh....Actually I lie..Its our blog so don't le tme intimidate...Guess what..It is 230 am!! am am slipping into bed already...Such progress!!!

today I had the usual case of Monday blues..rather mundane day except for an sad email from my dad..Apparently my poor Dog scrappy is acutely sick and in the ICU!!! poor ole fella was going through some arthritis when I last saw him..but ICU man its horrible to think about especially after all the joy he's brought in our lives..woiye..Funny I've always been awed by the amount of care and love dogs get this side of the world compared to canines back home...I've never really quite understood it actually how they assimilate into families ...Yeah only until I got the email!!! Scrappy is his name..The dog is a whopping 15 dog years and to date still politely respond to a handshake with his paw and sit on command.
Maybe they should jus lay him to rest..

Which leads me to interesting thought...Would you..(heloooo...(echoo) anyone out there!!) concede to being sustained by life support machineseven when chances of recovery where minute(but not impossible)? u think it would be fair on your remaining relatives/friends? I'm not so sure I would want to leave that decision with any of them anyway....hmmm something to think about nonetheless..

Another thing i'e been thinking..what if any, is the animal afterlife like??? Where's ole Scrappy going to be after this life? I hate to think that his being is as uneventful and insignificant as just being our guard dog....U know..Do animals make conscious decisions with possible repercussions? Are they aware of these choices? Are they sentient? don't be so quick to shoot down these questions ..We often get so caught up in the common textbook/theological school of thought that emphasizes so much on the differences between humans and animals, forgetting that the vastly overwhelming similarities between them.

What is the definitive Christian standpoint on this?? heheh I was about to begin" from my Christian standpoint..." When I realised I wasn't quite sure where/if the Bible explicitly says about this...I am unsure of what I think now about animals not having souls.

somebody??Anybody?????

......losin it

what can a girl say..I'm hooked I blogged just 12 hours ago and I am itching to put some more of me out here..(save me from myself) If I were totally honest, I would admit that I am trying to outdo Denis.But seeing as he's got insomnia I'm gonna have to be a tad bit more frequent to succeed.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
she had soo many children that she didn't know what to do
She gave them some broth,
Without any bread,
Whipped them all soundly, and sent them to bed

So whats this got to do with anything?

My friend told me I think too much and well that got me thinking..(no surprises there) about how much I think.

Anyway I got up this morning and on my way to work this nursery rhyme popped into my head as a nursery rhyme would.. and there it was the epitome of my state.

So heres my personalised nursery rhyme

There was a young girl with a head on her shoulders
she had soo many thoughts that she didn't know what to do
She tried to organise them,
and failed oh so truly,
Thats probably why she's going all cuckoo

Be careful what you wish for I know coz I've got a lot of things I've wished for ..

Insomnia..

Bad habits are hard to kill I tell U..It is 3 am already and still wide awake..(great improvement from 830 am yesterday)..Well not just wide awake..quite industrious actually..and that is exaclty the problem..I am beginning to find beyond regular school work, I have gradually degenerated into an information junkie...hours and hours reading /learning stuff on the web are my daily hits and I am hooked I tell u -
or is it Hard habits are Bad to kill...On weekends I have found I get most work done in the wee hours of the morning - well maybe coz I am asleep for most of the other hours haha..

2 weeks to exams though..things gotta start changing..need to get back into form if I want to stand a chance for those killers come the week of the 19th. Still cant believe it is Already April!! What's even harder to believe is that it snowed today!!!!! Alas I can surmise that God does have a sense of humour...

I think I will call it a day now before I get another craving.....Later folks..

what a day what a day........
highs?
getting this invite (big smiles all round)
oh yeah and the sweet realisation that I'm not the only human being in want of an ipod... the things that are out of my reach... but hey I got love and happiness that should count for everything right?? ((my head) ipod, digicam)ok ok I'm beyond help.

I'm fighting a losing battle to catch some sleep, (just got a go to bed from some not soo subtle acquintance,friend,amore..(italian? spanish? help me out here) But seriously everytime I try soming else comes up (i.e this blogging business)

You know how things are all supposed to work out for the best.. I'm a firm believer in that but how do you get someone you care about through tough times...?? Can we really be supporotive/encouraging enuff to keep their eyes focussed on the good when all around seems like its gonna topple them?

Just a thought..will probably be more enlightened tommorrow and not so fussed about this (if I get any sleep) so until then that remains my unanswered question for the day.

Let God take care of you coz no one else can.

I could be turning into a hermit....yeah i said it..one of those people who stay home all day on the weekend and do not have any contact with the outside world but have the undying need to connect with people...I have acquired an unhealthy obsession(is there any other kind!!) to the world of the blog!! I've always enjoyed writing and enjoying musing to myself in a diary..ehhem i mean journal..infact only a few days ago i was watching Bridget Jones's diary (again..can someone say HERMIT!!) and could help but laugh at the numerous paralles btw myself and her...shame i cant make a movie about it..meeeh atleast i can make myslef a blog and pretend I'm as exciting to read about as the movie is to watch.
And this obsession is coming at a time when blogging is not really the thing of the moment..what can i say..ive never really been a early adopter to any sort of technology..IPOD included...did i mention how badly i want one????? it doesnt quite help either when everywhere u go some wannabe yuppie struts around brandishing thier ipod like they are the 'oo' in COOL. My patience will be rewarded i keep telling myself...sides..who needs all the music in the world everywhere u go?? its all marketing HYPE!! dont buy into the dialogue of superflous consumerism that marketers are so fond of propergating!! say NO to EXCESS! meeeh who am i kidding..a mute telemarketer could probly get me to buy one if i had the money.
I dont , so lets not dwell on the subject shan't we? I think i've rambled enuff for today...lemme give u folks a chance...ps try out the commenting feature i jus added.. ignore that lsat sentece if it doesnt work yet.. OK enuff of this. I am getting out!! i am going to talk to some REAL people!!
