Musings

8:41 am it is here in a BRT bus. I'm en route the hub first time this week for obvious reasons. So, u guessed right. I'm serving this straight off my android baby. If you've been following my epistle then you already that this medium offers me not the most convenience. Better a regular 15 or more inch device. Well, my options are pretty limited right now given what I have to contend with in this monster. Monster! Yes o, you read right. How else can I refer to these itchy fingers n heart crying for a voice on paper or whatever means there is to express? Jokes apart, sometimes, this urge to write screams at you so much that you go for the nearest pen and pad. In my case, I have to resort to this device :-). Hey, I'm not complaining peops. I love me this monster :-). So, I was up early today. First, played around with an anime intro idea for asa mobile that crossed my mind a day ago I think. Then, I simply wrote (typed). First from my rejuvenated dell studio then the sony that’s been taking its place. The latter brings to mind the need for me to take my writing seriously. In my personal view, I'm not doing enough to write regularly. I'm not talking about this kinda regular blogs where I care less about dotting Is and crossing Ts. Nah! Rather, about that which serves publications as I hope when I send them in. Right now, I have about two pieces that I marvel at whenever I read through but just making out the hours to properly edit has been a long thing. I'm not going to go back to the usual excuses of spending more time on asa. It holds no substance anymore. Anyways, here's just letting me know that I have to do this! There's no doubt in my heart I have it written somewhere how I'll commit time and effort to making good on it. But with little results so far. If the truth must be told, it's that my writing time is at best spare time. Compared to other interests, I've not really given writing its due place in time and efforts. That should change Bayo. Yes it should. If for nothing, the reality facing me where the monster's becoming aggressive seeking expressions at will. There's little choice here for me and so, I'm on the verge of carving out its own time even if once a week. I recall I'd said something like two write-ups a month so this month's still in place.

7:25 PM
Glory to God man. Fresh from a shower after a 2 hours + nap. Had checked out of the hub a few hours after I settled down at the roof top. The heat sorta drained what was left of my food-starved soul. In the end, I only managed a few android tasks with an addition of a few more characters to the task (an idea that crossed my mind this morning).Next I know, I was feeling a lil tired and just needed to take my leave. Was home in about an hour or two under the heat, managed a few paper works on ideas before hitting the sheets. So, here I am now much rested but with a lot still on my hand. Ironically, none of that translates to revenues at least for now. In fact, I'm looking at some 20g leaving my hands again before the end of the month to service the IxWebhost account renewal for Intentio. Then there's another 20g or so to cap Asa up for its release. Had wanted to hold a brief meeting with Tj today at the hub but hommie was pretty busy. I'd sent in a formal request for an extension in respect of the Samsung submission. I'm asking for no more than the end of this month to tidy up what's left in recording, coding, testing, market registration and other miscellaneous things in its regard. Lai, Tj's assistant spoke of a possibility so I'm pretty optimistic. Besides that, I'd like to hear what they have to say in respect of the terms specifically, the issue of exclusivity to the platform which I pray doesn't hold as I'd like the freedom to make good on my plans to seek multiple avenues in platforms for distribution. Anyways, till we meet. On my part, I just need to keep working. Iyke had the last set of graphic assets turned in today so it's all good. My contingency plan had had me meeting with my boi Ikenna Orji 2 days ago so I'm kinda waiting on him too before I decide on which to go with. In the end, it's all for the good of the pj mehn, no sentiments.
Even with all that's on my plate to deliver on, I still find it easier with taking baby steps that speak of fragmenting. So, with the TechAwards application whose deadline is tomorrow, Mrs Elizabeth's given her word to meet up. Spoke with her yesterday and she was soo full of apologies. She's the only one of my ref left and I trust her to deliver as promised. Thanks to Solape and Sola for their support. Also, not forgetting the Good Dr that initiated the whole. All we have to do is wait in faith and expectancy. Funny though cos' I'm already on to other things. Great feeling it always is to wake sometime in the future to the news that something you'd done and put behind you just came out successful. Well, hope it turns out that way, amen. Then there's the Kachifo Creative Writing Worksop event billed for August with Chimamanda as the highlight for me as I'd always wanted to meet with her. There's the learning experience too and a possible opening for asa to reach more ears. It all sorta ties in if you ask me. Anyways, with still about a month or so left to the deadline for applications, mine's already been submitted. Yes o, went from over-editing to nailing the thing jare.
This weekend, I'm due in Abeokuta to drop off Bro Tj's laptop and some stuffs of Tola. Words can't express how grateful I am for the use of bro's Sony Vaio while my Dell was away. Really helped a lot in ensuring nothing stopped. I remember it's served me right from Tech-In Ed to this moment as I type this on it. I'll work off Marina tomorrow to afford me the luxury of a fast internet and plenty of free space for some installations on my Dell. Need to clean out some old files too then have new ones on it. The programs are equally key as the likes of the BlackBerry tools for which I need to port Asa to the BB Playbook also needs be installed. Eclipse'll be re-installed to provide for more extensions than I presently have on the Dell. In the end, all the tools I need to work.
To cap this up, it's Glory to God for the gift of life such that I'm still fit in every sense to 'do' all that my heart desires. Gracias Lord.
