    • Weekday Hour # 1

      • Empty Room, Chairs

        The hour after work (6 to 7 pm, as the day kisses the night) is definitely my most enjoyable weekday hour.

        The air con is off; team mates have faded away; work files banked in paper and mind folders; and still too early to tussle with the traffic.

        I hook up with my friends online, catch up on news of this sinful world, tweet and blog: a little spot of heaven.

        What's yours? The most enjoyable hour of your typical weekday?

    • 10 Things to do Before 2012

      • Now that 2011 is more than half-way through, I desperately want to to the following 10 things before 2012:


        Zombie_To-Do_List

        1 - Start that mortgage

        2 - Tell that group of people what I really think about them

        3 - Be sure about the difference between 'love' and 'happiness'

        4 - Be sure about staying the career track or 'moving my cheese'

        5 - Doing that music album I've always dreamed of with my best friends

        6 - Have that heart-to-heart with my father

        7 - Douse the fire in my temper

        8 - Stoke the fire in my belly

        9 - Get a medical checkup

        10 - Get on radio or TV somehow.

        What makes your list?

    • 3 Events That Have Shaped My Life

      • When I was only 4 or so, I fell out of an upstairs window but didn't hit the ground below. The telephone wire entangled my foot, flexed and bounded me back in. I was slightly concussed.

        When I was about 14, my father compelled my twin and I to kill a sheep for Christmas. I learned the value of life (any kind) then, and have not taken anything that lives and moves for granted since then.

        When I was 17, pretty Chantal fro Cote D'Ivoire broke my heart. She was 18. I'm not sure if I really ever recovered from it. I started writing poetry as a means of dealing with it. I've not stopped writing since then.

        Can you think of any 3 of your own?

    • The Oldest Thing I Own

      • Am I Normal?

        The oldest thing I own is an old book that belonged to my Grandfather. It is about 50 years old. It is a book on jurisprudence - the philosophy of law - and he wanted to be a lawyer. Unfortunately, he did not go far enough in formal education to be a lawyer, even though he made it to magistrate (career magistrate). I loved him to bits. He called me "Senior Brother", and died before I discovered I wanted to study law. Maybe I did it for him. He died sitting up in a hospital queue. He was 84 and very ill, but nobody would let him jump the queue.

        I have never read that book - I never may. It holds much more than just the complex writing in there: life, love, sentiments, a deep bond.

        What is yours? What is the oldest thing you own? What's the history behind?

    • Who Would You Wait in a Line For? Or What?

      • The longest I've lingered in a line has to be between freshman registration day at the University of Ghana and waiting to cast my ballot in the 1996 Presidential Election. It must have been 6 hours apiece.

        But, God, I really hate to be held up in any kind of queue for anything. Come to think of it, I wait in 'line' all the time as a lawyer waiting for my case to be called in court. Shucks. Need to change jobs.

        What 3 things would I gladly wait in long lines for?

        1) Maybe Lil Girl after she's been away for a while.

        2) Maybe Obama (or Nelson Mandela), if he will actually exchange a sentence with me.

        3) Can't think of anything else.

        What about you?
