The Big Move pt. 2

Okay, I've told you all about the new move and the new leaf I'm turning over. It seems that this year.... 2007 is really MY year. Everything good has happened to me this year. I'm moving into a better place, I got a new car, I got 2 raises and a promotion at work... what else can happen? I feel like I'm in a great place, and that I'll do great this year. I'm really excited about both school and work. And, I made through summer school. Everyday, I had something to do. If I wasn't at work, I was at school, and if I wasn't at school, then I was at work. But everything worked out just fine and I feel like I've just climbed a mountain. I'm proud that things are great, and I have great grades in my classes. I hope this fall will be as successful. Hope everybody have a great rest of the summer, because I surely will! :D

The Big Move

Well, I'm moving. Finally. I got me a great place which should be ready for me to move in soon. I'm excited about moving; it makes me feel like I'm getting a brand new start in my life. Things are going great at home, school, and even work. I'm kinda anxious about "The Simpson's Movie" coming out Friday. Things should be extremely busy at work. But.. Just to say that I'm a happy man!... Pt 2. coming soon!

Pressure and Relief

At last, I'm okay this week. But last week, I struggled to find a topic for my second paper in my English class. I was torn between what I'm doing in my career right now, and what I plan to do with my future career when I receive my construction degree from USM. So after careful consideration I chose my future career. So far, so good. I feel great about my decision and I can't wait to graduate and further my career so I can do things that would improve the world we live in.

Blessings

I have had an interesting week. First of all, I'm on vacation from work. I've been working nonstop for over 6 months and I finally got some time off. It was badly needed. I relaxed, and finally got my refund, and the first thing I did was buy myself a new car. I have a good car, but I need one that is dependable and good for me since I live across town from my job now. I'm so proud of it. It's a 2000 Toyota Camry. It's HOTTTT! Fully Loaded, with leather interior and CD player, power windows and locks, the works! I went to the coast this weekend with some friends, and we gambled a little bit at the Beau Rivage Casino. I had a really good time, and I won some money, too. The best part about the trip, was the ride. My car rode like a dream. So smooth, and the engine ran so well; you could just barely hear it. I feel great and refreshed, and now I can live my life and enjoy it to the fullest.

Home

Today everyone, is my Birthday! So far, I'm having a great day. I'm full of birthday cake, and I'm gearing up to do some serious drinking tonight. This evening, my girlfriend and I were on Facebook, and one of my Nigerian friends invited me to join his group: The New Uhrobo. So I joined, and found other related groups, and I found the Uhrobo Wah Do group. Now, Uhrobo is my tribe where I come from. It is located in midwest Nigeria in the Delta of the Ethiope River. I am from Abraka, a city in the region. We browsed all the members, and I found a lot of people that I know, or I know their parents, and other relatives. And to my surprise, I found my cousins also. I felt so relieved to see their pictures, and to know that they're okay. I know for sure that we'll keep in touch now. If I had known this earlier, I would have done this to establish communication between us since we're so stretched out across the globe. But as always, seeing all of this makes me homesick. I am visiting soon, though so I can eat some white soup with garri. (I'll explain this later.) So right now on my birthday, I'm overjoyed to know my people are united!

UHROBO WAH DO!!!! (Hail the Uhrobo People!)

Damned glad to be a Uhrobo man!

Pity

I wonder if anybody else has been watching "Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School." I'm just... dumbfounded. These girls acted worse on this show than they did on FOL the first time! But, I'm rooting for Leilene the most, because she's changed the most, and I admire her courage for accepting who she is and loving herself. She's also become stronger and more independent. But.. I'm so damned glad that Larissa is gone! She's so beautiful, but her attitude just messes everything up. Monique told her numerous times to grow up, but she just wouldn't listen. She wanted to do her own thing and hoped that everybody else would just automatically jump on her side. But her mouth.. not her ass got her off the show this time. But, I do like her.. and I miss her being on there. Can't wait until the reunion. Until then, GO LEILENE!

Life

Living and existing are two different things. Back home in Nigeria, things were smooth sailing. Life was not as complicated as it is now. I could say we were co-existing and had no worries, but could there be a place on earth where no worries exist? The answer is yes. When we were kids, no hustle and bustle or things to worry about. I would give an arm and a leg to go back to those times when we could do silly things and get away with it. But being a man... a TRUE man, we are held responsible for every action we say and do. It's full of evolving and that is what makes life great for me.
