There are those that have touched me in so many ways. Some have left indelible prints on my heart while some but a whisper of a touch on my soul. To those I am grateful. Their essence is that of a baby’s first breath of life — so pure.
There are those that have enriched my life with genuine interactions. The type that have woven poignant memories into my tapestry of loving, of being, of life! By those I am forever hypnotized and held captive in the grasp of authenticity.
There are those whose kindness has mesmerized me and made me question my benevolence. Their compassion and generosity but a glaring ray of sunshine to my candlelit humanity. Their eternal light beckons me to rise above the bed of shadows I lay in comfortably. Continue reading ‘Their Lessons’

I along with Meron was 1 of the 100,000 estimated crowd (large image) that gathered to see Barack Obama on Election Eve in Manassas VA.

Is she ‘Marriage Material’?
An acquaintance of mine has been dating this woman for a while now and while he is very happy in his committed relationship, she has been hinting on the marriage issue in the past couple of months.

It’s so close eko, so very close.
Barack Obama has a real chance of becoming the leader of the free world, on January 20th 2009. We have about 6 days left before the polling stations close.
He most likely will get elected barring any major stumbling blocks. Today there is an Obama TV; ie Obamercial. Watch it!

Note to self: Self-help books written by others do irreparable harm to the reputation of the self.
She grabs my hand and playfully tugs at me to get off the couch. I comply.
Various organs in unison: Oh shit!
Walking upstairs to the bathroom becomes an exercise in nerves. I consider halting my thoughts and shrugging it all off, but the ambiguity of her reasoning would not let me. Is she that serious about the environment? Is this a trick? Do my kidneys really need to stay en garde against a hostile intruder? Or maybe, just maybe, this whole scenario is just one elaborate charade towards casual sex. Continue reading ‘the shower: prt III’
