Something for you.. the sun will shine!

When the dark clouds of gloom
Overwhelm your fragile spirit
Remember to hang on to joyous moments past
When the sun doesn't shine on you
Depend on it to warm your soul the next day

Like flowers on a spring day
Great happiness will return to you
Even when you stand on the edge of the abyss of darkness
Take a leap of great faith
And the reward will be of beauty unimaginable

When the night is dark and no stars are in sight
Believe that the midnight sky will gleam with light again
And the moon above will guide you through the night
And back to the warmth of your friends and family
And finally love will restore your smile

Questions?

Is there more to people that what meets the eye or are we all really basic and at the core no different from the next person?
Do circumstances determine what picture we paint with our actions, speech and general behavior or do the people around us influence that more than we’d like to admit?
Is there something special that makes people the same or unites them in such a way that they really are one and the same man?
If there is why haven’t we used that to reduce the disparity in the multitudes?
What discriminates us from each other?
What distinctions are there to identify one as greater or lesser than the other?
Is it just the choices we make from birth, from our parents making them for us, to taking over and making similar choices due to the way we were raised and after that having our children make those same choices?
Life is indeed a cycle, one circle of similar people meeting and marrying each other.
What is the magnitude or degree by which we are so different that nothing could ever bring us together?
There must be a deviation from what we consider the norm, for people to always be at cross points or are we digging too deep and not looking at the baser insticts in man?
Are there really irreconcilable differences?
There is a certain inequality that somehow finds its way into our hearts and is so deeply ingrained that its harder to change who we are than we think.
What are those factors that affect the congruence in such a way that there is no harmony and disagreement thrives amongst men!
What creates this space between people, from thoughts to the consequential actions?
I sometimes think that we are remote from each other, removed from the emotions other men have, unable to be understanding or sympathetic at times, why?
Aloofness certainly doesn’t help build the society as one big home, we always end up leaving someone behind!
Is that what helps us stand apart and when did that become our number one goal?
Everywhere we look, the environment is cut throat and only the strong or sly win, is this so much a part of us that we’ll walk all over our brothers trying to get ahead?
Suppression reigns and at the end of the day we have a winner that nobody particularly cares how they got ahead!
And that is the complexity of one of the facets of life!

Destined for greatness?

What is life?
Is everything in clear cut, should we believe in destiny and fate?
Are there such things as soul mates and kismet really?
Do we all have a magical moment that time and other memories doesn’t erase?
Do we make certain decisions, or mistakes in life that change our destiny and if so, is there something we can do to change them?
Are our lives so clear cut that we have to live them as expected?
Is there any pride left when people love those they shouldn’t?
Is there a connection so deep that it cannot be ignored?
How do we explain that instant click when two souls meet and know that something is meant to take place, or worse yet when one feels the click and understands and the other doesn’t feel it or lets rules dictate?
Can well meaning people and societal pressures mess up a good thing or on the evil side sabotage it?
Are the rules governing these things/feelings meant to be broken?
Do we sometimes watch life happen to us while we stare in from the outside helplessly?
Can we change who we truly are or do we sometimes hide the truth from even ourselves that we don’t remember it anymore?
Are there certain places we’ve been before and it doesn’t make sense that we could have gone to these places in this lifetime?
So what is life and how should we live it?
What is the core?

A nice weekend..

Started out like any other weekend.. got off work on the way made a few phone calls to check on the people that were reydi to try out some new drinks! Surfers on acid from Wednesday when we happened to Club NV, the hanye bambad!!!! Anyhu Friday, Mirish was studying for her GRE so I went to Sammie & Wanja's house for a bbq and drink trying session... Sammie was refusing those shots like crazy and locking herself in the bedroom, so Wanja & I were enjoying heavy.. 7 shots later we started taking the shots to Sammie & refused to leave until she'd tried them, shortly Jager bombs are happening.. in no time we were reydi for the hanye.. so the three of us plus Lil Pris decided to happen to PB Bar & Grill .. and happen we did!

So the next day after Mirish's GRE (congs!) we went to the movies (Sammie, Clyde & I) met her there but Clyde went for rudge and we reconnected afterwards. Tristan & Isolde is such a beautiful movie! So we got home and Sammie decided it was time we had a bbq just us.. MONSTA!!!! Mak (our sweet brother came over and was helping Wanja bbq)
- Clyde said we were alkiz cos we couldn't taste the alcohol in our drinks..

- Sammie & I going to the store for keroro and looking at the keroro like its a monsta and asking each other "will we make, should we get more", I truly don't understand why we pretend!!!! This is who we are!

- Maad humping (dancing it was called) in that house...
- Beer chug, after beer chug.. what can I say the gals came out on top!
- Sammie chugging from a straw!
- While outside Sammie calling me to rush over cos someone is stealing the car, turns out Frenchie is just getting Ziks from the mots!
- Jukass hiding behind a wall and watching things unfold
- Someone made the mistake of calling our Mak a cow, war!!!!!!! women truly are psycho's?? throwing jabs (not literally) at peeps with hidden agendas R E S I S T!
- The introductions were something else...
- Frenchie "I don't drink beer" and proceeding to enjoy more than a few and even "robbing" me of mine till Vero stepped in to the rescue.
- Watching lingala yep! S O M E T H I N G!
Anyhu finally at around 5:30am Sammie kicked peep out and we went to sleep, amkad for football around noon.. our Steelers won so we have good things to look forward to and panthers as well, next week should be exciting!
