Just Follow Your Dreams

why is it that society is hell bent on making people what they don't want to be? i know a few people who can identify with me on this, so what if i don't grow up to be a doctor? some of us are just not cut out to be doctors, lawyers or whatever it is that sounds respectful(no offense intended for "the learned ones" & the dudes in white)but geez the obsession from some parents is just mind numbing. i've met kids who have ideas my physics teacher never mentioned in class, Einstein didn't go to school, bill gates dropped out and guess whose theories we were cramming in school? and no price for guessing whose windows i used to type this post today either. i think school is just a place for people who have not yet figured out what they really wanna be or do with their lives.

you will agree with me when you meet some of the same people you did the same course with at University in town doing something totally different, then you go like! weren't you the dude who used to sit next to me during a Psychology lecture? what in the world are you doing in music production? then he smiles and says proudly "music is my passion", psychology was just an idea from my parents.

whats more hypocritical though is the fact that when you make it big in the "profession" they deem not respected, they are the first to introduce you to people you could have lived your whole life being hidden from, mention you in every conversation like you're some kind of life line, then they act like you were born to shine and your thinking duh! aint you the same people that promised to disown me should i ever set foot in any MDD faculty?

all am saying is this...live your life coz in case you forgot you got only one, well unless you become a cat (i got a pet cat that died once and never resurrected)yeah i had to smack that reality back into your nut. dont let nobody tell you what your life should be.

Persona Non Grata at Church

Image
24 hours prior to the New Year, I was lounging infront of the tele. Douglas of record TV was hosting a bunch of “never seen or heard before” kids whose musical background ends at some God forsaken studio. I muted the sound to save my ears from their unrealistic conversation mbu Bebe Cool should charge the same amount of money like P Square or Movado because according to them, he can pull the same numbers for a show, yeah right! I snorted. Anyways that was the least of my worries since I had a real problem at hand to deal with; finding plot that will get me through to a fresh year i.e not from home. Brokenness had successfully denied me anything money related so my options narrowed down to free entry places. Church was number one on that list followed by house parties; I settled for church given the distance of the venue and company; Kololo was the perfect place to enjoy the battle of fireworks across the city skyline. Before you judge me for having the lousiest reasons to atte

African Time + Kwanjula + UAF = Lots of Drama (Part One)

Image
When the weekend sets in, all manner of plots manifest, my weekend was no exception. There was a kwanjula and the AND1 live in K’la. I had the means to access both events, however I later came to realise the Kwanjula invitation was an “attend or attend” kind of thing and that’s how I found myself preparing for an introduction ceremony that was supposed to happen somewhere beyond Mbale town at 2:00pm. First things first, what was I going to wear when I’m such an anti-Kwanjula? I sat and pondered about my wardrobe predicament, then got up with what I thought was the solution (ransacking the whole room). For all my effort all I could see were...Jeans, jeans, jeans and more jeans oh wait.. bang! A black dress…nah too short, too open. I was officially back to square one with no bright ideas beaming at the back of my mind. That was the beginning of my dilemma. Since I’m not the kind that gives up easily, I got the phone, punched some digits and dialed Janice (not real name). J

People Not To Watch Movies With

It’s been one of those days, work was stressful and nothing seemed to be working right and all you need is a great movie to wind down your terrible day. Fortunately for you; you just got your hands on a movie you have been dying to watch for quite sometime, well it’s not that new but to you it is because you have not yet watched it right? You toy with the idea of either watching it alone or inviting a friend over, which regarding to the number of digits signed up in your phonebook wouldn’t be a problem; you have a very big collection of friends to pick from BUT (and that’s a very big but) they are a few you just can’t make the mistake of inviting, people like; Paul-The Suspense Killer Paul is the dude who watches all the movies before the rest of the gang does, he knows which movie is nice and which is not; in short he’s the perfect which-movie-should-I-watch consultant, the problem with Paul is this…..since he’s watched all movies before you; he knows what it’s all about; first he
