Not Waving but Drowning
Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.
Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he’s dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.
Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.
Stevie Smith

Angela Kintu (my links are acting up. www.angelakintu.com) whispered the story to me. I would never shoot you, Angela. You are in my She’s All That book. So thank you.
 
And I won’t waste anymore of your time:
 
 As she started the car, Ellyn debated whether she should go to the supermarket first or  run to  Raymond-her quick fix of normalcy. The supermarket trip was her alibi and so there was no question of not going. But then again what if the stay at Raymond’s took longer than she could anticipate?
Ellyn decided to go to the supermarket first. That way nothing would be hovering over her head as she enjoyed her time with Raymond. She hurriedly walked around the supermarket to get her evidence that she was indeed at the supermarket. Bread, Kellogg’s breakfast cereal, more flour for Jacob’s ingenious baking, a new bottle for Sarah…and oh crap! The mouth wash!

Just a day after Spanish football star Xabi Alonso called on FIFA to ban vuvuzela horns, Spanish fans have called on the football body to ban Africans.
“They are just so black,” said fan Enrique de Torquemada. “And there are so many of them here in Africa. It is very upsetting.”

One for my First Love! posted on June 22, 2009 - 11:13am

In my phone book, there is a number saved as ‘First Love’. It is my dad’s. I cannot think about my dad without thinking about Indie.Arie’s Wonderful, the song she sang for Stevie Wonder (who I am totally in love with but this is about my daddy) especially the part that says:
 You inspire me the way you make me feel inside is amazing
Your honesty your artistry is engaging
You are everything I hope to be
 You have touched my soul I want you to know you are my hero
You got so much soul to put it plain and simple you are wonderful

These are the causes that are very close to my heart: the fight against domestic violence, the fight against breast cancer (because in my second year I got a scare. Thankfully when I was checked, they found that even though I had quite abnormal lumps, they were not cancerous) and blood donation.
June 14th is the International Blood Donor Day. Very exciting for me this year is the fact that that the company I work for now calls in people from the blood bank so that we can donate. Infact I have just donated my blood.

 You can’t believe I wrote that title can you?…I know. Neither can I! (Just so you know, it was supposed to be titled: Lessons from un-unemployment…a sequel of sorts.)
I am so back in the rat race. Here are the lessons from my previous engagements:
i. Why I would give anything to work from home again (home has been my office for my last project)
- I had good, homemade lunches.
- I did not have to hustle with what to wear to work. I am missing my denims already.
- I was able to catch up on the TV shows I could have missed the previous evening on my rare visit to your dirty, dusty city centre.
ii. In my role as the one supposed to employ people for the company:
