out with the old,in with the new

well ho ho ho hoooo ,
Merry Xmas, happy new year or in good old German, if memory serves me right “ein gluckliches weihnachten und neus Jahr haben”.
There ’s excitement all over town and i love the decorations at DFCU and the snowmen at Aristoc with the cute blue  umbrella.
I hope as we travel,meet,gather,decorate, catchup, eat,drink and make merry,we will remember the real reason for the season.IF you don’t know,better ask somebody.You can start right here, with me.

If i were to summarise 2k8 hourly, daily,monthly lessons in one sentence. You have one life, live it, live it well and leave it good.
I read a story on monday about a monk who joined a monastery and as per the requirements,took the vow of silence. The monks would each be given a chance to speak every ten years. So after 10 years,the head monk asks him what he would like to share, He says,”food bad”.
Ten years go by and its time for the monk to say something,and he says,”Floor hard”
Another ten years go by and the monk’s turn to say something comes up and he says, “Room cold”
Eventually,the monk couldn’t handle life at the monastery and he left.When asked to describe that particular monk’s life at the monastery,the head monk says,” oh! that one, he has done nothing but complain ever since he got here”.
2k9,  i oughta drive myself to complain less and appreciate more lest 30years of my life go by like the above mentioned monk.
Heck! why wait for 2k9 when i can start right now.Hope your on your way too.
And do get yourself some Philly Bongoley Lutaaya ziki, listen to “tumunsinze,katujaguze,and merry xmas”  like am doing right now. Guaranteed to bring back some memories.
