During the festivity i was in my native place and it was quite interesting of how i had to change the 'used-to-me' to another me;i mean i decided to keep myself busy in another way as to how am used to.I tell you the better part of me was spent exploring each and every part of the gazzette,yeah it sounds funny,but that was me; not in any way trying to blog.
Quite true i never regret any of this since i came to see all the stuff that one gets to miss, i gues, i get to miss.Most of my time last year having been spent on things such as researchs,analysis and lots of presentations you ought to support that i aint ignorant and that as well doesnt qualify me as arrogant either.
One issue in particular made me(call me naive if you like)dimiss some creativity of our press and the associated press[AP] and wonder what really these guys aniwe did there.I remember the December 20th paper very well, a paper on which i wished had covered my potrait holding my chin in a retrospective manner as the front page or even at the best showing the world Saddam's last mail in advance.
Actually i came to criticize the attention given to to the columnists and good story keepers as of that issue by the editors.I mean the paper had three quarters of it covering images(call them pictures again if..) ,unrealistic ones,the ones zero-rated as it matters in terms of creativity,the ones you drag and drop,not even drooling around,damn this furioriated me,i promise you i could have spat but not infront of my grandmother[i mean i had to sound decent].If you ever have gotten a glimpse of the NY times newspaper you are bound to apprecite the kind of work done by the editors and ofcourse not that am dismissing all the editors,some are really creative the likes of Peter Githaiga,seen his coverage?
Yes i definetly know that a picture is worth a thousand nods but finding ten from that (whole paper imagine!)one was really a nightmare.
Not that they couldnt have done better,but that paper was just so unappreciative,so not there!Lets learn to give interest to writers ,again i have to say that i came to see some light lit atleast from other issues and i gues we've got alot to give.At least i can address the theme of 'all is not lost' here!

The year is here
Ofcourse,to all thee bloggers happy 2007.
I think after all the festivity that came with last year am obliged to make tales and so on,not that i wont but i definetly find it more warm to start the year otherwise rather than i did the prior.
My perspective about this year is a year where we are bound to see insanteous rise and fall sorry to say characterised with alot of sycophancy,self interest,alloaring desire mainly from the political angle,a year where on the better we'll shift paridighms;i mean with all that tech at hand!A year where we'll want to see the fruits earlier even before the flower is bloomed and definetly a year where no one will want to lose.
Me myself and i believe that with all probability at hand will make this year even more adventurous,more thrilling,ofcourse i know that some ups and downs will definetly show up,make me feel changed and agitated[well,may be]but with my motto this year i hope to prosper.Hope for the best while prepared for the worst.
How do you want your year?
