June 19 Musings

It's 9:52am and I'm in a somewhat discrete angle of the hub where I get to enjoy a bit of privacy :-). Helps to keep me from distractions plus helps shape ideas for blogs or tasks in front of me. First point of call this morning was the 'white house'. Yeah, same 'White house' in Sabo famous for its brand of amala. Amazingly, 5 years after leaving the MauLag (lmao), I still run into one or two mates coming in for the real deal. Can't take anything away from whoever's behind that spot man. And so, I walked into the place and lo and behold, the amala queue was empty. As in, there wasn't any customer for it. Rather, everyone was asking for rice bla bla bla. Okay, it had to be that I was abnormal to be queuing for Amala and ewedu at 9am in the morning ;-). Like I was bothered...lol. Feels good to be different sometimes, you know. There just is something abnormally or crazily normal or exciting about it....whatever that means. Yesterday was a good day. One moment I was in bed just before 7am savouring the morning's freshness in sleepy B town where I'd retreated for the weekend. Was in the middle of my blog and tryna mock up a mew piece when HIS mail came saying he was en route Yaba for our proposed meeting. Bingo! I was outta bed and in the shower. Next, I have my backpack behind my back and bidding good ol' mom bye bye till the weekend God willing. Long and short of the journey is I stumbled across a great article. Intriguing to say the least so much that I shared the link (http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/06/nigerians-dont-crash-we-bounce-1/) via BBM, twitter and facebook, the same medium it'd been generating a buzz on. The meeting was great for a start with common grounds established. We ended on a positive note and should meet up again this week. Personally, seeing the commitment in time is one huge factor that appeals to me man. Was home soon after and had to take a bit of nap to relieve me of a headache. Next, I'm on the system working on an article for Risenetworks. Yeah, my previous article tagged "The Gospel of Entrepreneurship" didn't make it (or optimistically hasn't made it so far) going by the 3 weeks period indicated in the email I got after submission. Well, I have a new one in the pipeline entitled "Social media and individual responsibility". It was borne out of the madness that greeted the Dana aircrash on social media with unconfirmed reports being bandied around....
