Perhaps the thin line between self-delusion and dreaming big is crossed where tomorrow’s gains are sacrificed on the altar of yesterday’s illusions.

Edit – Just so you know, I have nothing against Lawyers and Doctors… Its just that they make me want to tear my hair out sometimes…. Its nothing personal.. LOL Quite frankly if it were possible to be ‘cursed’ with doctors and Lawyers – I think I would have that curse…. My mum is a closet doctor - maybe the disappointment of missing out on medical school made her over compensate - but all my young life I was innudated by quasi-medical books - Look Younger, Live Longer, Where there is no Doctor, Every Woman, and a slew of health books by the Seventh Day Adventists; plus all the newspaper cuttings – how smiling adds a year to your life, hyper vitaminosis, drink your way to health and all that ish.. ...

Sometimes I wonder what the difference is between…………… Self-delusion and Dreaming Big Hypocrisy and the Gap Trap Narcissism and Self Esteem Love and Admiration Pragmatism and Foolhardiness “If I know the way home and am walking along it drunkenly, is it any less the right way because I am staggering from side to side? - Leo Tolstoy

Had this song on repeat for the past couple of days.. Another reason for dudes to consider the wider ramifications of their actions before jumping in the marriage bag! For all who had absentee fathers – enjoy this! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIU_rfoW77U] Lyrics HERE. The story behind the song HERE

Quite frankly life is hard work - plans and programs are all well and good… It is in the dirty places, the grime infested workplaces that real change occurs. Rubber hitting the road, people knuckling down and acting on the decisions, plans and thoughts that they have created. Think - Plan - But then I need to ensure I am Doing stuff!

Humanity has the ability to make development sustainable – to ensure that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. From Our Common Future(The Brundtland Report) P.S: This does relate to what I’m reading at the moment…

Sorry peeps – Had my hands so full that I barely had the time to read blogs or even comment.. Thanks y’all for the love you continue to show… So I’ve got 8 days to the big kick off.. The final exams that would go a long way to determine how successful my high stakes gamble to head back to school was.. Spent the better part of last week studying intensely, and I sense I’m slowly getting into the ZONE.. That place where all that’s left is a cold appreciation of the task ahead and quiet optimism that you’ve given it your best shot! ...

I absolutely adore African food - I made it a point of duty to eat everything from amala, eba, party jollof rice, beans, moi-moi, yam porridge, nkwobi, and that peculiar Cally town culinary delight of Ekpangnkukwo as well as a sampling of soups - ogbono, egusi, afang, editan, afia efere (hmmmm), and even gala and several FanMilk icecreams flavours all in the space of 12 days. In fact, the ability to make piping hot akara is a key requirement of the future Mrs DB! ...

Found this news story on the daily telegraph… Apparently in the relatively quiet backwaters of Sunderland, a certain Mr and Mrs Cartwright could potentially face jail term over violation of an anti-social behavior order.. The crime? Noise making of a curious kind! If only I could get them to sort out the French flatmate I have who persists in bothering my celibate ears every two weeks, that would be just fine!!!! ...
