You know Sundays.Long.Boring.Random aunts and uncles from god-knows -where show up.People get saved.People who dont usually pray do so on sundays.It's also the day you wake up with a 4 day hangover or the day you wake up in someone else's bed and you go like ''Christ,what the hell did I do?!!!!"Or if you had beef with your boss Sunday is the day you spend the whole day trying to explain yourself on Monday.Or maybe you broke up with you boyfriend/girlfriend over the weekend who happens to be your schoolmate,you stand infront the mirror for hours practising expressions for 'just in case he looks my way'.(Though 98% of the time your face crumbles and you feel dead and deflated.)Sunday is also that day you can stare at the wall for hours without thinking about anything at all.I guess that is why it's called reflection Sundays.Anyway,to the point,my day hasnt been that tragic.It has turned out to be ...uuummmm...wise.I guess.So,I was dead bored.Bored to extinction,and too lazy to pick up any book with challenging content.No challenging material;I settled for Carroll's Alice In Wonderland.A book i have crammed word by word.(for real.cool,ay?).Then I came to the really thought-provoking part of the book...
`Cheshire Puss,' she began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider. `Come, it's pleased so far,' thought Alice, and she went on. `Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
`That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
`I don't much care where--' said Alice.
`Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
`--so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.
`Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, `if you only walk long enough.'
The lesson from this ugly,weird,purple cat is obvious.Set your goals and do not look left or right.DO NOT DERAIL.Really?Really?Think about it.Is that possible in our 21st century?Ask any sober human being and they will tell you this:I want to be a doctor.That's my profession but I still want to collect and sell art,yeah?and also find time to visit my dairy farm in Kiambu.You see?Plan 1 2 3.Hustle!Unapopata nafasi ya kula,kula!(Utengano,1969) and you may never know what you may come across.As in,16 year-old Nyasha Matonhodze didn't know she would be the new face of Louis Vuitton!(I know you didnt know.LOL.).What I am trying to say is,it is only a stupid person who puts all his eggs in one basket.Anyway,that's what I think.What is your view?
Wow! Here I thought you were gonna talk about random irrational stuff that doesn't help anyone! I actually like that I know what you're talking about, and it ain't the trash I see on other blogs. It's somewhat intellectual :)
