Am i late to the Big Bang Theory party?? oh well, you know those little snippets of a mini essay that show for a split second before the episode is completely out? those are Chuck’s (note the first name basis!lol) vanity cards. i was curious when i first saw them so i got the show on dvd and so now i pause when they come right up and this is one of them that i loved.

In the near future, we will see brain scan technology that can determine, without fail, if someone is telling the truth. Shortly thereafter, we will be able to buy mobile devices that perform the same task on the fly. In other words, we are on the verge of having all of our conversations constantly and instantly monitored for veracity. This would then spawn a counter-technology comprised of personal mind shields that keep oneself from being scanned (the use of which would, of course, imply that one is keeping secrets). The end result? Universal honesty, initially as a result of the duress of surveillance, will become the norm. Then, over time, this mode of thinking, communicating and behaving will become second nature. This will usher in the dawn of a new civilization. After thousands of years of human suffering, world peace and the long-fabled ‘good will towards all men’ will have finally arrived. The end of lying and cheating will also mark the end of scripted entertainment. So, you know, there’ll be a downside.

Chuck oh Chuck!!!

You know, maybe sometimes we are alot more damaged than we care to admit to ourselves, maybe we want what we want so bad we are willing to put aside what the inner voice keeps telling us…or even maybe, the truth is right before our very eyes, sometimes it has been so well hidden that when it comes out, it seems like it’s far from the reality. i dont know. It all just makes sense when put in a bigger frame. And looking at the frame, i guess it doesnt hurt to put down the crayons, grab the rubber and start afresh.

Sometimes when all we can do is wait, then Wait is all we have to do.

Joyeux Noel y’all.

I didnt forget….

…And heelllooooo!!! So, just so you know, that thing i keep doing where i…wait, lets just call it thaksgiving post, ok? good. so yeah, I didnt forget…i have just been really busy with …you know this n that. But well, here i am, i want to give thanks.

1.God

Being the same yesterday, today and forever…and bearing in mind that His mercies are new every morning, i want to say am sorry for the times i have not acted like the King’s daughter that i am. Am thankful God for You and Your blessings upon me. Take for example My Son, My angel and My love…I know that a gift so great is one only God could create and am reminded every time i see his face.

I am thankful for my family, the funny lot that they are. The steady support that they are with relentless prayer and intercession. My Sister Mwiza, like my brother says, it’s not that God loved her so much that He asked her to come work for Him in Uganda (you see, she is Rwandese and came to Uganda not knowing anyone here, long story in there but anyway, God led her to our family and mum took her on and her children are mum’s grandchildren too) so anyway, as i was saying, It is a more accurate statement in Timothy’s view to say that God indeed loves us, we know because Mwiza is such a blessing. Family, you know, is not just about biological relations…it is way more than that. For my biological family to understand and embrace that fact, am grateful.

I am blessed with fabulous friends, hilarious and fabulous. Leona…That girl is of a breed so rare i cant quite wrap my mind around what a blessing she is in my life and those around her. Linda, Eva, Dasher, Yvonne….these wonderful people, individually are rays of light which put together are in fact a force to reckon with. and am not even exaggerating!!

The Tuesday fellowship….a wonderful indulgence that.

New friends i made over time, each bringing with them a lesson. Enrico…many times i just sit and wonder how long it would have taken me to learn everything i have learnt from you in the time i have known you had i not stood next to you at that place that shall remain undisclosed(lol). The Serato ‘factoid’ is one i shall continue to use to ruffle a few feathers…

I have made my peace with the fact that sometimes, people will not always tell all there is to tell. I have learnt that sometimes ‘things’ left behind come back and manifest as circumstances that dictate different from what we would like. I have also learnt that it is important to take it all in stride and know that in the grand scheme of things, all lessons learnt from whatever dealings, infact add to who you are…they are the tiny threads weaving together to create the beautiful tapestry that is your persona that everybody sees and knows. I have learnt that nothing is too small or too big to be prayed about. To be able to see and recognize God’s many ways of teaching and moulding me, His bold display of great love and affection for us all….am thankful

I could go on and on….but well, i just wanted to say that I have been blessed in many ways and i am thankful that i have.

Word of advice

Adapting to situations that seemingly do not have you in mind will only have you compromising on who you are.

Do You? …..and no, not the song by Ne-yo.

xiona — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:50:53 +0000

Do you ever sit by yourself….zone out a little like every one likes to put it? If you don’t, what are you so scared of? What do you think you’ll find out about yourself, and if you think there is something about you that you know will become very apparent if you do, why then are you not doing anything about it in the first place? Or is it the slow steady and resilient voice you have heard before that scares you….you are afraid of what it might tell you? are you? oh well….i know a song that reminds us to be still and know He is God….just like He told Joshua during the Exodus….chances of ‘knowing Him’ are simmered down if every spare time you get, you are off to facebook, write, drink with buddies,jog with ur ipod churning out Mystikal ~~yelling~~ doing his thing. Be still…every once in a while, just lay on your couch, tv off, radio off, laptop off…just you and your thoughts. see what you find there. I know what i have found there and i see who i am as a result of that…do you?

The thing about wordpress is i cant exactly hit a re-post (or atleast as far as i know) in the event that something i once wrote is absolutely appropriate for a current situation i want to write about. Oh well, i wrote this some time back and feel these words are the right ones to convey my message.

Apart from telling you to pray and trust God, i wish I had a quick solution for you right now, one that would instantly take care of your worry right away, I would without a doubt hand it over.
I am not sure if there is a sure way of knowing how best to help but I will do my best. I know that that feeling right there, that’s there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better and there something is worth fighting for.
As you carry on your journey of what you deem important in your life right now, know that am here for you, not only just so you don’t lose your way, which would be sad but mainly so u don’t lose the reason for the journey…which would just be a fate more cruel.
And in as much as these are only words on a page, therein lies proof of everything that I would do, to make you feel better.
Why, you may ask, would i do all this….well, lets just say that’s not even the half of it.
I will be there for you.

P.s
Even if i find that you were bluffing, i will be glad that you know there is one more person you can count on.

The one about the snail, no….i dont have a pet snail.

xiona — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 15:51:00 +0000

Not much has changed since the time it all changed. As the days go by and that day draws close, I am not sure if everything i went over in my head would be as i thought it would or even close. You know how for whatever reason when a snail recoils back into its shell, its so much easier for it to be tossed about, you can very easily lose sight of it. well, i worry….not because “the snail” recoiled, no. i worry that some random thing/person might toss it about and without it or me knowing it, it will be out of my sight and i cant have that….~~this snail is too beautiful!lol I added that for good measure.~~ On the real though, i wouldnt want that. Am not sure if this makes sense, but well, there is no clearer way i could possibly write this.
My language limitations here are real. My vocabulary is adequate for writing notes and keeping journals but absolutely useless for an active moral life. If I really knew this language, there would surely be in my head, as there is in Webster’s or the Dictionary of American Slang, or even in Urban Dictionary that unreducible verb designed to tell a person like me what to do next.

I do know, however, that questioning anything within doubt, will just bring mind to no certainty. And so i will spare my self that vortex. i will pray and i will wait.

Somethings have to be put down, because they are the stepping stone you need to get you to a higher level….to get you moving to your better place, to get you to your advancement. Set them them down, look up to the sky and know He will hear you when you call. You know what you need to do, listen to your gut feeling and your heart, Steve Jobs didnt lie when he said somehow they already know.

Yes, this is for you, you know who you are. Just remember, You are not alone.
