DAWN....

DAWN....

today will soon be the past
then tomorrow will be today
time slips away so fast
so make each moment pay
because you can't recover lost time
there is no return to yesterday
life doesn't always rhyme
and the future is a new day
lost time is gone
the past has no replay
today is a new dawn
a chance to go a new way


REST IN PEACE

PATA PATA

If the past does not have a replay many people won't be the tormented souls that they are.

But Life is really about choice. You can CHOOSE not to replay the past. Afterall, the world owes none of us a living. We make our own lives what it is and can choose not be affected by the actions of others.

The past is our strength....sort of. It should always replay - depending on what it is.

Ah, confusing!!

"It is not power that corrupts but fear. fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it" those are the words spoken by Aung San Suu Kyi(political activist) those words are also the only explanation i could give to the shabang thats happening in southern africa today. i know im meant to blog about fun stuff but its hard to ignore the happenings in a certain country thats looking to set new standards for a failed state. anyway, back to fun stuff. is it just me or is there a viral infection spreading in the name of ASA. she has been around for a minute(once upon a time i listened to her songs at work for 10 hrs straight) and due to my binge listening antics, DUDURADIO has been blocked by our IT dept. oooffffing eefffers! i call it a viral infection because even my fellow nigerians who would normally consider speaking yoruba or anything close to it as being local, razzzzz etc are bumping their heads to her s...
