We all need passwords

Contrary to popular belief, passwords are not a sign of something sinister afoot. If I was to give a lecture on basuc IT awareness, I would begin with the importance of security. Like many people in todays world, half of our lives, memories and records are stored on some form of digital media or some cloud based service or social site. Now, let us define or identify personal data or type of information you would store on digital media or devices. Think of your professional qualifications, your CV, certificates and copies of your passport, registration card and maybe bank correspondence. Think of all your emails, official and personal. Ordinarily this would be stored on a USB device like an external hard drive or flash drive or maybe a laptop, or more popular these days, the tablet or smartphone. Portability and accessibility of digital devices and information have now become one of the defining qualities of a modern organised person. When you attend a meeting in todays world y...

My daughter and I

Image
14th october 2013 On this night my daughter and I ate beef sausages with bread and shared one small box of ceres juice, mango flavour. I will not forget this day because this is the day I have gotten tired of being kind, being understanding and being soft. I feel bad because in all my life today I feel the most worthless. Worthless because in the morning my daughter carried plain bread to school. Worthless because due to not having gas I picked up my daughter after 21 hours from her aunt's house. Worthless because with the money I had borrowed we bought a loaf of bread and 2 beef sausages and the ceres juice so that we could eat. Why are we eating such a meager and mediocre meal you may ask?... Its because there is completely no food in the house. Nothing. So. I sit here and ask myself why this is so. From a house that had it all, lots of food, juice and whatever you would want to snack on. Why is this bad run of luck coming my way?...why am I failing in my basic duties as a man,...

The boss

Waking up every day and having to do the same stuff everyday is the most monotonous thing I have ever done in my life. Wake up, take a crap, brush teeth, take a bath, dress up..... Get to work and have this guy push you around and make you feel like your efforts are unnoticed. Wake up a few days later and try to do your usual routine in reverse order but you still end up being frustrated by your boss or work. It sucks I know. So I decided to switch things around. I got rid of the irritating bosses and replaced them with the meanest I have ever come across. This bastard pushes me to the edge. He is unforgiving and doesn't want to hear me make excuses. The idiot won't even give me a day off, lord knows I need it. Being in the family business is hard because you know you are working for something that will last in the family for years to come. By the way, said bastard is me. Now we have our daily routine slightly adjusted to include a moment of self motivation, telling myself I ...

...been through it

parental Advisory: explicit word used. Just one. Many a time people look at the next person and laugh at them for something that they did or something that happened to them. This is usually because the laughers are happy because attention has been diverted to another person .... Naaaaaaah... People are just nosey and spiteful. They always want to know what is going on in somebody else' life and want to be the first to laugh and spread the news. Well... I am not here to talk about other people lest I lower myself to their level. I am Here to talk about the most important person in my life, me. I can safely say I have been through the sewer, got immersed in shit....waded through the crap that is the by product of what people take in. The stuff they are fed or feed themselves.... The rumours, the sensational stories, the true stories And the lies. Even when you eat good food it still comes out as smelly shit. So....people feed on this stuff and whatever comes out after is smelly......

...the move...

Scenario 1 5,4,3,2,1....BANG!!!! Goes the starters pistol, your perfectly toned athletic body springs up in reaction to the cue for you to race your opponents. You knew the gun would go off and u knew u had to sprint for glory but because u didn't know which exact millisecond it would go off you hesitated and delayed your spring forward. In a race like this a millisecond breaks a world record and points the spotlight on you... But coz you were not ready enough, you wasted a millisecond and you remain in the shadows... Scenario 2 U have been craving for a dip in the pool because its hot. So you poise yourself in the divers position and take a deep breath... 'Dammit its hot. This water will be perfect for me' is what you think. You take the dive, making a small graceful splash as your body enters the water... And just then the cold temperature of the water makes u realise that you were not totally ready for this.... Scenario 3 Your heart is beating fast, your palms...

The most beautifulest thing

So... In my previous post I was saying FTW and to be honest that's how I felt all day. Between then and now I tried to numb the pain by going for a few drinks. Tried offloading the weight by telling 'my best friend L' about how I feel and why I was feeling that way but nothing worked. So I walk into the house, maid opens the door and then this little thing about a fifth of my height screams 'Papa!! Surprise!!!' And then she dips her body and springs into my arms for a warm embrace and a lovely kiss. 'Papa you have come backed?', this little lovely creature asks. 'Yes baby I am back.' I reply. 'Wow I missed you.' She says afterwards. The above conversation made me feel so alive and full of purpose. My daughter always reminds me why I have to keep on pushing, why I have to be my best... Why I have to see things through and basically why I hope out of bed and go out to work. I remember the day she was born, 19th April, 2009 at ...

F.T.W

So i had a bad dream... it was simple. I was in a car I have never driven before, a Land Rover 110, yes the old one from that ad many many many many years ago where a guy is stuck in a dam and he uses a winch to put the vehicle out? Yeah.... that sexy add. (Let me youtube it even). Anyway, there i was driving from Makeni and i run over a guy on an Eagle bicycle and the guy got all mangled (what do you expect, I hit him with one of the toughest vehicles ever made) then as I swerved off the road I hit a white Toyota Altezza or as I prefer to call it, The Zambian Ferrari. So anyway I had a bad dream in which I killed about three people. I have had this heavy feeling today and it has really dragged me down. Not looking forward to anything and not even eating (yes and I am always hungry). I have been feeling so angry most of the day and the world around me is not making things any easier by throwing all sorts of pressure at me. I am not saying I crack easily under pressure but we all ha...
