Ok ive finally come to the realization that if i dont just stop an dblog i will never 'find the time' yanni there are just oo many things wrestling for the 24hours i have. Anyway, a lot has cut since my last post and now im blogging i think more form the fear of forgeting the most important developments than from having finally settled down to doing so. On to it then...
first of all i must say, last week was simply a miracle! big up to M-U-N-G-U, due to a combination of excess work in some classes and a chroic case pf 'procatination-itis' i found my self 7 chapters behind in one of my classes that wouldn't have been so bad if not for the fact that this is a self passed class and this you have to take a test before moving to the next chapter! anyway the long and short of it is that i ombad and God just worked wonders and bearly a week latter im on the brink of finishng all the chapters ahead of shedual!
I have developed to strange new inerest (starange at least to me). the first is country music (courtasy of rascal flatts), i don't know... maybe im just getting old... but the songs are sounding so sweet its not evenn funny, i find myself singing out in the halways forgeting that no one else can hear the music blearing out the ear buds of my ipod (which i got free by the way, but do i say). I mean i thing ive know for some time now that i was a 'closet country fan'. I remember musing to myself some time back that its (with roots regea as the other) is one of the two genre's where there is still some sort of positive social message in thelyrics (som o dat positvie vibration :-) but now i think my love for the music i think has been catalised by the Texas air, im sure there is some 'texifiying agent ' floating around thats responsible for imarting southern tensdancies on any who dare to venture into these parts, so travellers be war lest you unwittingly suffer my fate (ramndo fact: Country is te biggest selling genre in the country, yes, higher than rock! true story).
ok the other facination/strange new interest is Kiswahili! who'd a thunk! this coming from a man who swore never to utter another word of swa after kcse was over and done with. why lie high school swa with its strange obsetion with 'ngeli' all other incurambly boring aspects o fthe language is nothing if not pure torture and more suited to killing the interest all buut the most ardent fans of the language, add to the mix a medicur set book like 'siku njema' and you have the silver bullet. Well i think having been distanced from all things swahili for quite a bit of time now has given me time to heal and now i find myself inextricabl drawn to the swahili blogs on KBW just to read and hear the sounds of the words in my head. having grown up in mombasa raha, my 'mental swahili voice' (unlike my real one) is quite nice to listen to if i do say so my self :-) anyway so that the other strange interest ive developed.
the 'save darfur rally' jana and regretably i was unable to go since i had a bunch of catching to do, bought the t-shirt though and will be repin it all over the place, ill take a pic and blog it soon.
